Our RSS Feed- Captain Marvel Review: 1.5 Stars Out of 51. I don’t know where to start with Captain Marvel. So many things went so wildly wrong that we’d need a presidential commission to get to the bottom of it. It’s like the Chernobyl of superhero movies. 2. If at any point you feel like your action movie would benefit from a character whose main […]
- Spider-Man: Far From Home Review (1 star out of 5)1. This version of Spider-Man is a useless toolbox who actively avoids doing interesting things, and what he does attempt is usually wimpy and/or incompetent. 2. Unlike most main characters, his choices don’t matter much. For example, he chooses to leave his supersuit at home (but his aunt sneaks it in anyway) and he tries […]

- Letters from DeadpoolHey DeadPool, You are a funny guy. How did you become a super hero? What do you do when you’re not doing anything? Do you like being a superhero? Why do you wear a mask? Why do you wear red and white? Are you Canadian? Getting superpowers is sort of a long story. Some people […]
- Preliminary review of Dr. StrangeI feel like a marketing executive put a gun to the screenwriter’s head and said “I don’t CARE what the movie is about, put New York City, London, and Hong Kong in it. Just do that thing where the villain is trying to collect plot coupons around the world in places that happen to be […]
- Calling All Supervillain StoriesDen Warren, (K-Tron, Metahuman Wars) is issuing a call for 3k-5k word submissions for a superhero prose fiction anthology titled, The Supreme Archvillain Election. Each submission will be a supervillain sitting at a huge table explaining why they should be voted as the Supreme Archvillain, then they go into a story, etc. Reprint excerpts and […]
- Man of Steel Review1. This movie is about as bad as Catwoman but, in Catwoman’s defense, it had okay action scenes. 2. Man of Steel particularly struggled with family dialogue. E.g. Clark’s Kryptonian parents take 3 minutes to describe their plan to send him to Earth and say their goodbyes. It’s pretty bland stuff, e.g. melodramatic intonations like […]
- Captain Marvel Review: 1.5 Stars Out of 5
Thank you B.Mac. I’m in a somewhat excitable mood, and now I’m probably going to have nightmares about evil squirrels staring at me.
Yes! Now my work is done.
😀
I love this one.
Squirrels always have been, and always will be, Evil. Capitalized Evil. Right up there with chipmunks.
I knew there was a secret squirrel agency! They are out to get us!
My kid was TERRIFIED of squirels as a toddler.
Between Tim Burton’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and this, I kinda get it…
Many college campuses have squirrels that have grown very, VERY comfortable approaching humans. On my first visit to Notre Dame, I was very unnerved when a squirrel got within a foot of me. Foolish squirrel! That is my personal space.
