Save this Cartoon Network series, which debuted last fall in the Saturday-night Toonami block and is now being dribbled out on DVD, for the kiddies: only unsophisticated fans of animation, comic books, and superheroes will be captivated by this tired trotting out of the Thing, Mr. Fantastic, and, um, the other two mutated crime fighters … more…
The Jehovah’s Witness protection program. A digital camera so advanced you don’t need it. Fans of the brilliant conceptual mashups of punster Steven Wright have been waiting a loooong time for a new standup concert film — more than a decade and a half — and here it is, recorded at a 2006 Toronto performance … more…
It’s supposed to be making fun of bad sci-fi movies, but really, it’s just an example of same, right down to the broads with huge tits and skimpy wardrobes bouncing around in front of the camera.

Ooops, just realized I haven’t posted any links to my Film.com stuff in a bit. Here’s what you’ve missed if you haven’t been reading my postings over there: • today’s weekend preview • I make love to the Hot Fuzz guys • is Jericho the anti-24? • my week’s worth of screenings • the new … more…
It’s just as visually lively, just as crammed full of clever and literate wordplay, just as screamingly hilarious as ‘Shaun of the Dead.’
