  • It’s ok, it’s not like Superman’s costume has changed much in the comics over the years. Some people think that the background is a Brainiac reference. It wouldn’t surprise me.
  • Sorry to get slightly off topic here, but this weekend I visited a railroad museum. As I was exploring the history and types of trains, my mind went back to Bond. What I really thought about the ending action sequence of DAF with the trains should b…

  • Has anyone read the book yet? I’m not seeing any reviews, apart from Goodreads. It seems to be more positive than negative for it, on there.

  • I used to think that adapting novels would get us faster Bond movies. Now after reading a good chunk of them, I would like EON to develop their stories for a few reasons. This way, the storylines can surprise us with their originality. As for the ot…

  • No "professional" critic reviews yet.
  • I don't think Zack Snyder should be completely off the hook for the DCEU failing. Snyder likes to be shocking for the sake of being shocking, in his style. His fans are getting bad online. I still like Watchmen, MOS and to a degree, BVS. Watchmen wa…
