Persepolis 2.0


I really liked Persepolis, the book and the movie, by Marjane Satrapi. That is why I am so excited to hear about a sequel of sort, Persepolis 2.0. It includes an expanded storyline about the recent events happening in Iran. While not by Satrapi herself it is being made with her approval.

Art of Yo Gabba Gabba


Last year while I had nothing to do during the day. Well, actually I did have something to do but didn't feel like doing it. I stumbled upon perhaps the greatest children's show since Sesame Street, Yo Gabba Gabba. To the annoyance of my wife I filled our DVR with episodes, constant conversation about the show and occasionally reinterpretations of the songs and dances I saw that day. Well I'm pleased to announce to any other appreciator that the Pink Hobo Gallery in Minneapolis is hosting a show called The Art of Yo Gabba Gabba. I want to go to there.

Old Star Trek Fans Not Into New Movie

I can understand what some of the old Star Trek fans are saying.

Wolverine Sequel In The Works

What? What? Really? Thats crazy! I guess it's not too surprising that their will be a sequel. It's what the movie studios do. But it seems a little early to think its a good idea. I haven't seen it yet. I probably won't until the fanboys are busy mouth breathing in Trek.

Fox's Fringe Will Get A Second Season

Fringe is one of those shows that at first I didn't think I was going to enjoy it, like Dollhouse. But unlike Dollhouse, I actually feel like watching it when it comes on. Its built up enough mythology that it actually deserves a second season to flesh out the story.

Blueprints of Marvel Landmarks

Bully shares some architectural views of some Marvel comics landmarks. And theres even a scavenger hunt to boot. If you like this sort of stuff you should check out Eric Chase Anderson's novel with maps Chuck Dugan Is AWOL.

Kristy Valenti talks about Stumptown 2009

Since I first heard about Stumptown I've wanted to see it. I wish we had a small convention like this in San Diego. Here is what Kristy Valenti had to say about Stumptown in her blog.

Adult Swim will be showing BBC's The Office

Again Adult Swim is going way off from its original direction. They should really limit the live action shows to ones that you can't get elsewhere. The BBC The Office is available on DVD if anyone wants to see it. Read the article at Cartoon Brew.

Wolverine to Have Multiple After Ending Credits

This is not too surprising it seems Marvel does this too all their movies lately. So it makes sense they would do this for Wolverine.
