Once again, does Snyder know that cameras normally run at 24 fps?  I mean, aside from the scenes with dialogue, for which slow motion is problematic, was there a scene that didn't contain slow motion elements?  I know Zachy boy thinks it's all lyrical, but we have too much story to adapt without him mucking about in slow motion because he missed the point of John Woo movies in film sc...

To my knowledge, there are no other X-book First Classes coming out.  I was only predicting them speculatively.  Sorry for the confusion. My understanding is that X-Men First Class was originally supposed to be part of the Adventures line, but has morphed.  The books do have a feel similar to Marvel's Adventures line.  As such, I doubt that we'll see "Avengers: First ...

Looks pretty... ...at first.  And then I remember it's by the guy who aped his way through 300, a movie that would've been 45 minutes long but for the fact that so much of it was in painfully slow motion (in order to look "cool").  And then I notice that every shot in this trailer is also in slow motion.  Listen here, Zachy-poo.  We have way too much story to get...

I read this story in issues.  I was a fan of the whole Cliffhanger line at the time.  And you forgot to mention that not only are they Nazis, but they're Cobra Nazis.  I seem to recall Tomax and Xamot being in this book.

Warren Ellis used to be on a kick about the problem with comics is that one has to go into a specialty store and buy single issues.  He was of the opinion that the key was getting books with spines into bookstores.  However, comics are still intimidating in that form.  Imagine someone knowing nothing about comics walking into a Borders and seeing a shelf of "Essentials.&quo...

I haven't seen the film, nor do I intend to as I thought Nightwatch and Daywatch were incomprehensible crap and thus expected this to be the same.  Anyway, I was a little dismayed, however, to hear the level of incredulity at the loom of fate concept.  Admittedly it is likely silly and pulled off horribly, but you guys are aware that's a real thing, right?  I mean, not real in t...

Man I've got a biggish week this week. It's my DC Greens week with Green Lantern Corps and Green and Black Arrow Canary.  And speaking of Space and Greens, I'm picking up "Who do you trust" only because I want to know about Agent Brand, and only because of lingering feelings from Astonishing X-Men #25.  Normally, I'm not into these Secret Invasion one-offs because they're ei...

If I understand this guy's point, especially about Spiderman, his problem is "Hey, what's all this character drama and story doing in my popcorn-consumption-based explosion porn?"  Really?  I never thought I'd see the day where we gave a soap box to the gibbering semi-sapients who decry character development and story in any movie.
