Hey, we know that guy! Scott Kurtz has pointed out that he was reviewed by Matt Morrison. Yeah, THAT Matt Morrison who wrote for Fanzing and is now a columnist at 411Comics. Matt is a good writer…and an opinionated guy, with whom I must once again disagree (as I had to in the last issue …

That seems to be the scope of the fans in this news article. Oh well, maybe Fanzing will …

He made us laugh
I wasn’t aware that the man who performed “Make ‘em Laugh” in ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ had passed away. Then again, I never thought he was still alive. I was also surprised to learn that the Make ‘em Laugh piece was largely improvised while Gene Kelly was sick. Amongst his final words: “I’d like to …

B Movies of B characters
Marvel Exploring Film Production of Lesser-Known Titles. I think this is great. I always thought DC should try this more often as well.

Purr-fect? or Purr-ile?

Why we like ICv2
ICv2 News – CrossGen Restructures I appreciate ICv2′s fair and business-like news reporting. It’s truly a rarity in comic book news, where spin, rumor and colorful statements abound. While some say “the knives are out for CrossGen”, it truly is news when a publisher that prided itself on on-time printing, a unique studio system and …

Orson Welles as the Batman? No.
Mark Millar has a piece on the Batman movie that Orson Welles wanted to do in 1946 and how the studios derailed it when they objected to his playing the role himself. It’s an intriguing, provocative piece filled with great casting ideas, like Jimmy Cagney as the Riddler and Basil Rathbone playing the Joker. Wait! …

Elia Kazan passes on
Oscar-Winning Director Elia Kazan Dies at 94. I can’t believe that FoxNews didn’t have it’s own obituary to run and had to use this Associated Press obit. Talk about Fair and Balanced; the way this AP bio mentions his naming Communists, you’d never know Kazan was unrepentantly proud of it! Instead it paints him as …

My enthusiasm wasn’t triggered though until this morning as I was driving home and I heard on my favorite radio station an ad for this very show! Not only that, but …
