I recently raved about Alien: Earth and the season finale was this week. Don’t worry — I’m not going to spoil it. Or really talk about it either. Rather, I’m going to talk about one of the actors on the show: Timothy Olyphant.

Comic-Con: An Evening with Kevin Smith
Many years ago, I fought valiantly in the hot, summer sun for a coveted seat in Hall H on a Saturday. Marvel Studios was in full swing being a main event at Comic-Con. The heat was nearly too much, and
(more…)I barely made it into Hall H just as Marvel started their panel. I didn’t make it. I was stuck in line near the front until Marvel’s panel ended. But spending hours in the heat meant I was stubborn and still wanted to get into Hall H. I wanted a nice, cool, dark room to relax in. And thus, I had my first experience at a Kevin Smith panel. -
2025 Comic-Con Preview Night
Droves of people were in every direction outside of the convention center, all with the same goal of making their way inside to grab lanyards, booklets, and bags. And then, of course, the packed floor with fully setup booths with comic books, figurines, and collectibles. There were many lines throughout the floor, all for Comic-Con exclusives from various vendors.

Matt Reeves Write & Directs ‘The Batman’
Per usual, I’m very late to the party, but I digress.
Batman v Superman brought Batman back in the comic book movie fold and kick-started DC’s film universe.

A Shawless ‘Prometheus’ in ‘Alien: Covenant’
Ridley Scott’s Prometheus left things open ended. Our surviving protagonists — one of them arguably an antagonist — took a ship and went off in search of new, fun adventures.
I hope I didn’t spoil anything for you. If I did — oh god, I’m so sorry! Please stop reading and go watch the movie. It’s on Blu-ray and it’s a gorgeously shot film.

‘Star Wars’ Vinyl
A few weeks ago I went to a little music store with my girlfriend and her family. We browsed, pointing out a different vinyl to each other. But then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a vinyl sticking out. I saw the word “Star”. It was in a very familiar font. I gasped and I briskly walked towards it. It was calling my name — in five different languages. I slowly picked it up. -
Director Peyton Reed in Talks to Direct ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’
Marvel’s Ant-Man was a long movie coming. Edgar Wright started scripting it before there was Iron Man — even before there was something called Marvel Studios. Then there was the start of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that grew. Then there was a falling out between Marvel and Wright. Things looked dire for Ant-Man. But alas! A miracle! The movie came out and it wasn’t a mess. In fact, it was a blast. -
This Time ‘Hulk Slash Harry’ Returns on TV
The past couple weeks have went by fast and before I knew it, it’s the first of April. Usually I have a silly post that only my friends would find funny, but I can’t help myself from sharing with the class. This time I had nothing written. This time the fool is me.
