  1. Seeing it tonight. I can already taste the popcorn.
  2. The leg subplot between Isaac and Gordon was pretty funny.
  3. Haven't watched a single episode. Just added it to my Hulu watch list.
  4. I saw it, and it was a very good movie, but I don't think there was anyone in the audience under 40.
  5. Looking forward to this tonight. Currently at 69% on RT and 60% on Metacritic. Most common phrase in the reviews: "The Gifted is everything The Inhumans isn't."
  6. Seems like a no-brainer. Casting will be key, though.
  7. Does anyone else think that the actor who voices Isaac, the robot on the bridge, sounds an awful lot like Brent Spiner?
  8. Ticket purchased. Already salivating for the popcorn.
  9. That's something to think about. The fellowship is geared more towards TV, as it requires you to submit an original pilot, as well as a spec episode of a currently running series. I wrote an original pilot this year entitled DEAD ALIEN, but would have to write a spec episode of an existing show in order to submit to the fellowship. I think the submission period is May. I'm hoping to generate some excitement over DEAD ALIEN before pilot season hits.
  10. I haven't worked on any films, but not for the lack of trying. Fifteen years ago, Artisan Entertainment had the rights to 15 Marvel characters. I'd written a -script called MONSTER CITY that got a lot of attention around town, and Artisan asked to meet. I ended up pitching my take on an Ant-Man movie that they really liked, and a few months later I went back and pitched my take on a Moon Knight TV series. At the time, they were focusing their attention mainly on Iron Fist, and had signed Ray Park to play Danny Rand. We kept in contact, but they ended up getting bought out by Lions Gate in 2003. Later, I adapted my Ant-Man pitch into an animation -script entitled THE SLIMIES, but it's so hard to get an animation -script read these days. Animated films are developed in-house at studios. They don't really want to see spec scripts. After all these years, MONSTER CITY still shows signs of life. I entered it into a Screencraft competition earlier this year and it beat out 900 other scripts for the top prize.
  11. This is pretty cool... John Williams' Superman Theme Returning for JLA
  12. They missed an opportunity in the 2nd episode. They had 2 people from a failed marriage in prison together, an opportunity for some real soul searching and conflict, and they didn't take advantage of it. Give the 3rd episode a shot. It tackles a social issue in a very Star Treky way.
  13. Here's my review of Sideshow's Huntress Premium Format statue...
  14. Thanks for the info. My directv is getting stupid expensive.
  15. Some theaters are showing the original and the new movie as a double feature on Thursday, October 5th, starting at 6pm.
  16. One of my favorite Joker covers is a Wonder Woman cover...
  17. I didn't really connect with any of the characters, and the humor seemed forced. I'd keep watching if it were on CBS, but I'm not going to sub to all access.
  18. I liked it a lot. Certainly more fun to watch than CBS's new Trek.
  19. I prefer Thursday, as well. I always seem to have plenty to watch Sunday nights. The pairing of Gotham and The Orville on Thursday will be something to look forward to each week.
