Where Spandex Goes to Die: Superhero Nursing Home Sculpture
Monday, November 23rd, 2009Thanks to these life-like sculptures by contemporary artist Gilles Barbier, we know that no hero–not Superman, Captain America, nor Hulk–will survive the ravages of age. For a second there, I thought that the catatonic (dead?) Catwoman was faring worst of all. But then I saw Wonder Woman’s bosom. Holy southern migration, Batman.
YESSSS: Penn State Band Honors Batman, Star Wars, Superman at Half-Time
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009This is absolutely glorious, people. Behold the Penn State Blue Band during the Eastern Illinois Game halftime show last month(?*), playing the themes of geek favorite movies Batman (starting at 0:14), Rocky (1:48), Back to the Future (3:10), Star Wars (6:24), and Superman (8:40). The familiar, beloved, marching-bandified tunes provide half the joy, but just [...]

The DC Universe animated movies are much like pizza, sex, and Kanye West jokes: even when they’re bad, they’re still pretty good. And the early reviews bode particularly well for this one. (Check out the [...]
Superman Feels Pretty and Has the Bra to Prove It
Monday, November 24th, 2008If you can count on Japan for two things, it’s (1) having cell phone technology that will finally arrive here in the States about the same time as “green” cars that run on apple juice and cat farts, and (2) inventive (i.e., fuggin’ weird) new fetishes and ways to capitalize upon them.

The Supporting Characters Who Couldn’t Handle the Pressure. Or the Head Trauma. – Smallville Comedy
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008Sure, Lex Luthor did finally bail on Smallville after seven seasons, but only after he had sustained more bodily damage than a human can withstand without resembling a bowl of lumpy mashed potatoes. (The kind with little, chewy bits of potato skin in it.) Other supporting characters from Smallville didn’t share his resilience. Or his [...]
