As a longtime fan of Marvel’s Ghost Rider, I was naturally intrigued some years ago when they announced a film adaptation of his adventures.  The resulting movie cast an actor far too old for the role (in the name of marquee value) and had some strange issues with plot & pacing, but was overall kind of mundane, the last thing one would expect from a film about a flaming skeleton on a motorcycle.  That said, I still might enjoy a weekly series with Johnny Blaze riding the highway and having adventures ala ‘Supernatural’, which leads to today’s incendiary query… The…

When I was younger, I always wanted t-shirts with my favorite hero symbols on them, especially The Flash, but they were never available.  Ironically, as I have aged, such products have become more and more common, but were too expensive when I was broke in college, and too small for me to wear once I reached an age where I had money.  (This phenomenon is known as the middle-class fortyish fat guy’s lament.)  Still, these days, even a man of my girth has access to Superman, Green Lantern and Flash merchandise, a veritable plethora of options, which then leads me…

As someone who lived through the dark days of ‘Doctor Who’ fandom (from 1989 to approximately 2004, with a couple of bright spots around 1996 and elsewhere), it’s gratifying to see so many people identifying themselves as Whovians these days, whether I care for the term or not.  Of course, given that the series is about time-travel, alternate dimensions and mindscrew, featuring a main character who changes appearance occasionally in his 2,000 year lifespan, it’s a given that there are many different camps about what era of Doctor Who is best.  Could it be Tom Baker, the longest-serving Doctor?  Or…

This weekend is the debut of Michael Bay’s reworking of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as hulking CGI creatures, and while I haven’t heard an overwhelming majority speak, I admit to an enjoyment of some of the vehemently negative reviews of the flick.  As one who enjoyed both the cartoon and movie TMNT back in the 90s, though, I don’t have a lot of room to talk, as neither version was all that true to the original incarnation.  What’s hard to remember is that even the mighty Justice League Of America was a revamp, a reworking of the Golden Age…
