This is either the all time best or worst @letterboxd.social synopsis I’ve ever read and I’m equally conflicted on whether I should watch it or not based on that alone. I kid. No way.
First watch for The Intruder. Corman directing Shatner as a racist agitator who comes to a southern town to subvert integration. I was aware of it but only the plot and little else. Thirty minutes in and I cannot say it strongly enough that if you’ve never seen it, you have to watch this movie.
Show me a comic book page you love, no explanation needed. Grendel: Devil By The Deed written and illustrated by the master Matt Wagner.
First watch for The Caller. Can’t remember how it ended up on the watch list but halfway through and enjoying it. Also watching the continuing deluge of slots game commercials every single break on Tubi.
Had a late night The Evil Dead rewatch last night. A movie that gives something back every time you watch it.
Sorry, LeeCronin’sTheMummy I was rooting for you. But we did have fun discussing creative choices made. Give The Adjustment Bureau a shot if you’ve never seen it. #LastFourWatched @letterboxd.social
One year ago today. Made a day of it. Wonderful time spent with together and then seeing it again two days later with my daughter as well.
Second hand purchases today: Needed the last trade in the Supergirl and the Legion run along with a great collection of Avengers stories.
Also, saw Supergirl and we really enjoyed it. Catch it in the theater. #LastFourWatched @letterboxd.social
Watching Tales From The Crypt season two episode two. Schwarzenegger in the director’s chair with Rick Rossovich costarring.
Had a rewatch of Spider-Man: No Way Home earlier today. Liked it okay in the theater. Struggled to finish this go round. Rebounding with Judgement Night to cleanse the pallet.
If you see this post a female superhero Valkyrie joins the non-team in issue 4 of The Defenders by Steve Englehart and Sal Buscema
It’s June 18th so Happy Crash Landed On Earth And Found By The Kents Day to all who celebrate. #Superman
Post a comic cover you love Never owned the book but being a huge fan of Nick Cardy, this has always been a favorite.
Initial reaction is **** this. Once that’s done it just slips away into some pocket universe, never to trouble me again. Like it never existed.
Is it just me or is the font for The Living Dead Girl not the same as The Mary Tyler Moore Show?
One year since we lost one of the best writers to ever work in the comics medium as well as novels, film, and television. Still miss his “But I Digress…” columns in the Comics Buyers Guide after so many years. Peter David was a gift.
Mercy but I loved The Defenders. I mean, still do. But it was fun because it was a book off to the side doing its own wacky thing.
