BvS trailer released at Comic Con; Batfleck to Script own movie
I guess the first section to ask is: Why does it look like Kyra Segwick is in this film? Why, God? Why? Superman testifying before a Senate hearing? Batfleck shoehorned into the previous Superman film? You know, the film Man of Steel felt … Continue reading

Remember Sherlock?
There was once this show on TV called Sherlock. All nine episodes of it. You know, that’s more of a single season, even for British TV; and nothing’s been going on for a while. Well, now there’s this: I guess someone … Continue reading
Elodie Yung Cast as Elektra
So, we have a new cast member for Daredevil next season (2016) Elodie Yung is Elektra. Huh. This should be interesting. I can’t really object to the casting. Yung looks exotic enough to be Greek or … well, something. Jeph … Continue reading
