iFanboy - Episode #130 - Green Lantern

On Jul 15, 2009 1:46 AM

Great show, guys. I love pretty much everything associated with the Green Lantern mythos...except for the focus on Hal Jordan, Kyle Rayner, and John Stewart. I can't think of three more boring characters in the DC Universe. I've always secretly pined for Guy Gardner to be the main focus of the series. He has more potential to be a fully rounded three dimensional character than blank slates li...

04.08.2009 - Batman: Battle For The Cowl #2

On Apr 8, 2009 4:27 PM

Although I really enjoyed your review, Connor, I thought this was pretty awful. When did the Penguin become so drab and inarticulate? Wasn't there already a battle for the cowl in the mid-ninties? Didn't all the inmates break out of Arkham then too? Is there a single aspect of originality to this story? Can superhero art get any more boring? Here's hoping that some inspired writer can clean ...

'Green Lantern: First Flight' Trailer!

On Apr 7, 2009 4:20 PM

It's a bit more anime-influenced than I like, and this isn't exactly new territory for the DC Universe animated films (didn't we already cover Hal's origin in New Frontier?), but I've enjoyed all these  aside from the abysmal Batman film so I'll happily give it a chance. The fact that David 'Block of Wood' Boreanaz isn't voicing Hal is certainly exciting news. But I can't help but acknowl...

Watchmen - "Inna Final Analysis"

On Mar 10, 2009 8:45 AM

so no one else had a problem with the acting in this film? it seems to me that Snyder and his team spent so much time trying to transfer the watchmen's visual aesthetic to the screen that they forgot to hire actors with a basic grasp of their craft. billy crudup and jackie earl haley both overcame their physical limitations (Crudup's acting through CGI and Haley's acting b...

New WATCHMEN Trailer!

On Nov 13, 2008 11:10 PM

Jesus, that was awful. The acting was pitiful, the costumes look ridiculous, CGI Dr. Manhattan looks weightless and fake, the old man make-up on The Comedian looks ridiculous, and Rorschach sounds silly. I can't believe you people have such low standards for this film.

iFanboy - Episode #89 - Discovering Manga

On Sep 24, 2008 5:34 PM

facepalm.jpg   This was easily one of the funniest shows you've ever done. Usually I'm on board with everything that comes out out Josh's mouth, but this time he just seemed like a stranger in a strange land. Utterly hilarious. You should keep reviewing manga, albiet sparingly, just for the comedic value.   Great show.

Michael Turner Has Passed Away

I sort of outgrew his art a while back, but regardless, the man's work afforded me hours of entertainment.   Thanks, Mike.

C'mon Manga, show us what you got!

On Jun 24, 2008 3:21 PM

I don't like manga. Let's get that straight, right off the bat. The characters are usually dull and flat. The plots, very often, make little sense, and are usually a mired in nonsensical abstract spirituality, which I simply cannot relate to. That said, there's only one manga that's ever captured and held my attention, and that is DEATHNOTE. I apologize for making a suggestion, which is not a ...

First look at Frank Miller's THE SPIRIT

On Apr 4, 2008 4:03 PM

Frank Miller hasn't produced anything worth paying attention to in years. It baffles me that people still think of him as the creator he was in the late 80's and early 90's. The man can't write anymore, as evidenced by DKSA, All Star Batman, and his most recent Sin City efforts. I'm expecting nothing short of a exploitative, misogynistic trainwreck.
