My preferences tend to run more towards DC (my reasoning, which my fellow geeks could debate for ages, is that Marvel focuses on human drama … Continue reading →

The Hunger Games (2012) – So this movie made a metric fuckton of money, so a couple weeks into its box-office-record-setting run I’m not sure my opinion actually counts for anything.

X-Men: First Class (2011) – This article was originally published on 12ftdwende.com on 3 June 2011 As I believe I’ve mentioned several times before, I am a geek. I may not be as hardcore as some (you should meet my friend Joe), but I like superheroes and science fiction and all that awesome stuff. Of … Continue reading →
