There’s An App For That

I don’t want to know how many quarters I plunked into Dragon’s Lair over the years.  A $5 app store investment was an easy choice to finally plunge the magic sword into Singe.


30 Days and Counting – Will the iPad change the comic model?

I found this great article on how the iPad could change the way we consume comics on the Major Spoilers website.  This is really compelling, I have far too many comics in long box storage that I would love to get rid of.  Digitizing my collection, keeping only my treasured signed issues would be a dream come true.   My only fear is the impact this will have on comic shops & conventions.

We Are ODST

I was sitting on the fence about purchasing HALO ODST.  I think this trailer has pushed me over the edge…I love Bungie’s marketing campaigns.

If they can pull this off where’s the HALO movie?


Mac Tablet on the way?

Rumor has it that Apple Computer will be releasing a new 9″ or 10″ tablet computer at the end of this year or early next year.  I’m very excited for the new tablet but what space will this new product fill?…keyboard free netbook?…HD Media player?…the biggest cell phone since Lethal Weapon?  Who knows?  As an Apple fanatic I will be in line launch day.  What are your thoughts?

Alice in Wonderland

The trailer for Burton’s adaptation of Through the Looking Glass slipped onto the web last week.  I’m always impressed with Burton’s visual style and his intense attention to detail.  I skipped Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and was really upset with Planet of the Apes but I’m willing to give this one a try.  Another Disney 3D movie…does everything have to be in this format?

TRON Legacy Trailer

Slick new TRON Concept

I hope the rest of the movie lives up to this trailer for newly renamed TRON Legacy.  This is the one movie where a 3D treatment will be necessary.  I love the updated look of the Environments, Characters and the Light Cycles.  I’m a little sketchy on the young Flynn’s face I can’t tell if it’s intentionally distorted behind the helmet or it’s still a work in progress. Anyway 2010 can’t get here fast enough, and there is finally a non-Pixar Disney movie to get excited about.   Perhaps the reason for my excitement is the rumor that this is one of Pixar’s secret projects, I hope that they have more input than the 3D graphics.  Please make this sequel one of the good ones.
