James Harrison punching Hitler, one of the most popular comics we ever did at http://cosmichellcats.com Being an American means I get to bitch and moan. Today I am going to bitch and moan about America. If you joined the military to “fight for the flag”… well, I’m sorry that you were…
I went out to do some late night photography of the full moon with my friend Hanna the other day. Mostly because I wanted to play with my 500mm lens, and what else are you going to do at 4am? SaveSave
Fair Warning: Beyond here be SPOILERS. And Dragons… you have been warned. So there’s some Game of Thrones things happening in the last few episodes that have gotten me really thinking. Specifically things that relate to the relationship between fan favorite characters Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen. I think it’s been interesting to watch them…
Once again, I’ve decided to show off how fun my job is by posting some of my dissertation thoughts for comment and feedback from others. Fun, fun, fun! And like if you don’t think basically helping me with my homework is fun, you’re wrong. Because today’s topic is something that you’ve been dying to talk…
So I guess I made a slight miscalculation. From the trailers alone, I thought it was clear that people would be flocking to see Detroit this weekend but that no one would give Kidnap a chance. And while certainly, neither of them is going anywhere near blockbuster status, initial box office reports show that the exact…
So I went and saw Kidnap with Halle Berry earlier today. You’re not going to see this movie, but you probably SHOULD. Let me make it clear. This is not a very good movie. I’m not going to lie to you and tell you it is a good movie. It’s not. Let me stress that. It is…
So I’ve been doing dissertation research (because apparently that’s just the rest of my life) and I’m currently reading all the way through a book that I’d only read sections of before. Peter Coogan’s Superhero: The Secret Origin of a Genre. One of the things I’ve been struggling with in writing my dissertation was the…
So this feels a little weird to review what with all the craziness that’s been going on in politics the last 24 hours… but I had already been planning to see this movie, so here we go. Let’s talk about Atomic Blonde. When I review any movie based on a comic book, one of the things…
I’d actually been looking forward to Dunkirk for quite a while. I love a good war movie. And I like Christopher Nolan. So I was pretty excited to go see it this weekend and review it… … ummm… … So it’s a really hard movie to review. I’ve mentioned this before… how I’ll often come…
Why do you hate strong black female characters? Yeah you! Seriously, why? Back when I saw Rough Night, I mentioned that the main reason I was going to see it was that I wanted to compare it to Girls Trip. I had seen the trailers of both at another movie and I quickly realized that…
If you pay attention to me at all, you might have picked up that I have kind of a preoccupation with sex and gender in comic books and superhero movies. Did you miss that? It’s kind of subtle maybe? Oh it’s not? I talk about it all the fucking time? Huh…. Anyway, here’s something weird…
Well that was a pleasant surprise. I had actually been hearing lots of really good things about The Big Sick. I always try to not take reviews too seriously before I see the movie. I know, that’s kind of funny coming from me since I’m writing one right here, but I like to go into…
It’s summer blockbuster season. Because of a random and frankly insane number of convenient coincidences throughout the 1970s and 80s, the movie industry is structured such that the summer has a veritable cornucopia of action blockbusters. And now, thirty years later, with the advent of the cinematic universe era, there’s just even more… I dunno……
This is a weird thing that keeps showing up in my feed even though I know that it came out over a year ago. But every time it comes up, I look at it and say… I want to do this!!! It’s a series from Marcos Alberti. He calls it “The Wine Project” and it’s fucking…
I’ve been trying to think more and more about my ratings system for my last couple movie reviews. There’s a couple reasons for this. First of all, as my friend Mike pointed out, ratings systems aren’t really that useful. They’re kind of stupid really. They don’t convey any real information. And really with me (or…
