Anghus Houvouras on how to turn Green Lantern into a mega huge multi-film franchise… There are a handful of comic book adaptations that make fans of the source material cringe. Like when Joel Schumacher gave us bat-nipples and bat-butt shots in Batman Forever. Or when Zack Snyder transformed the world’s most popular hero into a […]
Star Trek: Why I’m with Takei, not Pegg, over Sulu
Before we get started, let’s agree on one thing here: an openly gay main character on modern Star Trek is a great thing. It should have been included as part of Gene Roddenberry’s forward thinking, utopian vision for the 23rd century, but that was the 60’s and, well, the general message then was ‘straight people […]
You Should Be Watching… Casual
Tony Black on why you should be watching Casual… Be honest, you’ve done online dating, haven’t you? I bet you have. I certainly have, infact I was lucky enough to meet the woman I’ve been with for over a year and will likely spend the rest of my life with via online dating. I bet […]
24 Legacy: Could Jack Bauer be its finest hour?
Tony Black on 24: Legacy… If you were to name a TV character who helped define modern pop culture in the last decade or so, who would you say? Walter White maybe? Tony Soprano? All great shouts. Mine would be Jack Bauer. Oops sorry, JACK BAUER!!!!!! The hero of long running, real time action series […]
Game of Thrones: The Book Plots Lost on the Show
Tony Black on the book plots lost in Game of Thrones… And so it begins, the great post-Game of Thrones withdrawal period, and it’s especially potent this year given how season six was arguably one of the most exciting seasons David Benioff & D.B. Weiss have ever given us. Looking ahead to the final (or […]
Game of Thrones: What Sam Tarly may find at the Citadel
Tony Black on what Samwell Tarley may find at the Citadel when Game of Thrones returns… You almost forgot about good old Samwell Tarly, didn’t you? Be honest. Season six of Game of Thrones has been stocked so heavy with major plot developments, changing geopolitical situations and lots and lots of characters meeting untimely ends, that […]
Star Trek: The Axanar Repercussions
Tony Black on the repercussions of Star Trek: Axanar… Well. CBS and Paramount just put a great big giant bat’leth right through the hopes and dreams of many a Star Trek fan looking to make a movie within their beloved franchise, with a brand new set of very clear and to an extent unprecedented stipulations […]
Game of Thrones: Winter has brought the Age of Queens
Tony Black on Game of Thrones’ ‘Age of Queens’ (spoilers for ‘The Winds of Winter’ follow)… It began with Kings. Game of Thrones now looks set to end with Queens. The feminist revolution in Westeros truly blossomed this season and epic finale ‘The Winds of Winter’ cemented the concrete inside the stone, or perhaps more […]
Game of Thrones: The Battle is over, but Winter is Coming
Tony Black on what could be in store for Game of Thrones in ‘The Winds of Winter’… It’s taken me a while, but I’ve managed to recover from the televisual onslaught that was Game of Thrones season six episode nine, ‘Battle of the Bastards’. Spoilers will inevitably follow for this monster, this narrative titan of […]
Game of Thrones: Riverrun, the Blackfish, and why we’re going back
Tony Black on Game of Thrones: Riverrun, the Blackfish, and why we’re going back… Riverrun. Good old Riverrun. When was the last time we saw Riverrun? It’s been a while since the seventy minute opening credits of Game of Thrones took us there, but that looks like where we’re going for the show’s next episode, […]
