    Boy Gets Zapped by Electricity, Wakes up Magneto - Update

    A phenomenon like this had been reported by monks at one point and I believed it was actually debunked as actually a state of their skin after having not washed themselves for years. Basically the objects stuck to them due to their greasy and dirty skin. (If I end up taking time to hunt down...

    South Park Takes On Free-to-Play Games in Freemium Isn't Free

    The moment this episode started my friend groaned and said "Oh great, Jeff's gonna have a ton to say about this episode." He was wrong. The episode pretty much said it all.

    Nolan Calls Marvel-Bashing Quote "Inaccurate" - Update

    Why would he care if anyone stays through the end of the credits? His name is first. Speaking for myself and a lot of friends in the industry, I know these scenes as well as their many variations (blooper reels over the credits in a comedy movie etc.) started as a clever bonus for fans willing...

    Why The Great Pumpkin Is Still The Best Halloween Special Ever

    My (nearly) two year old daughter has been watching this DVD with my wife and I every night for the past week. She is still learning to talk but she knows all the characters names delights in every moment of this cartoon (you should seriously see her face when the Red Baron takes flight.) So...

    8 Best Selling Games For The Xbox 360

    I was curious, so I checked it out, and all in all I'd say this list is kinda depressingly bland. I'm not trying to make a statement about the games involved or their quality, just that 7 out of 8 are all fairly similar in nature. What makes it depressing is that last gen saw so many great...

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Is Building Up to Something... But What?

    Is anyone else hoping that Skye's dad is actually a still possessed Agent Cooper and we are going to get the upcoming Twin Peaks miniseries crossed over with the MCU? Anyone? ...*sigh* I'll just start writing the fanfic then I guess.

    Toys 'R Us Pulling Breaking Bad Action Figures After Mom's Petition

    I really don't have a problem with the toys not being available at this particular retailer (especially if they're charging $20+ for a figure according to that picture up there... seriously? Is that what action figures cost now?) especially if they are traditionally known for their outfacing...

    It's New Cat, Old Tricks for Gotham's Selina Kyle

    Thanks for the review. I understand that it was explicitly stated as "A Review," of the episode, but it would be great it it were possible to work in (or do a separate article on) the larger connections and implications of the show, much like you guys do with Agents of Shield. Mentions of "The...

    Disney Heroines Morph Into Pop Culture Icons in Striking Fan Art

    Okay, good, I'm not the only one. I mean, not to be a jerk or take away anything from the talent of the artists, but I really don't see these mashups as all that interesting or impressive anymore. The market on these is feeling a little over saturated.

    Kevin Smith Secures Financing For Clerks 3

    Haha, yeah. Agreed on all fronts.

    Kevin Smith Secures Financing For Clerks 3

    You may or may not know this, but you actually got your wish in the original cut of Clerks 1. Not sure the rules about posting inline youtube videos, but if you look up "Clerks Alternate Ending" you can see the original ending when the film aired on the festival circuit. Seems like Smith...

    Sony Plans I Know What You Did Last Summer Remake

    My only real problem is the question "Why does this NEED to be remade?" What development in film or narrative technology has advanced to the point where the original is no longer viable? If I remember correctly there are no big FX shots or action sequences that could be better handled with new...

    Pokemon Fan Storms White House, Gets Arrested

    The story itself is just... quirky, however I'm thinking smart money is on this man being mentally impaired in one way or another.

    What Made Silent Hill 2 Great and Why the Devs Don't Get It

    After reading the article and some of the comments I really feel like the biggest fault is using the imperial "We" to describe Silent Hill fans. In saying "our" first was Silent Hill 2, or that "we" are not obsessing over SH1, 3 or whatever it seems like you do kind of inadvertently alienate...

    Anime Veterans Ask For $580,000 to Make 24-Minute Sci-Fi Film

    That's kinda the disconnect between Kickstarter projects and actual professional productions. In the eyes of the industry, half a million dollars for a single episode (or short film of equal length) really isn't that much when it comes to animation (for reference here's a quick breakdown of...
