Marooners’ Talk: Episode 028 – “Avengers Assemble”

It may be pretty obvious from the title, but Episode 028 of Marooners’ Talk (“Avengers Assemble”) is all about the recent Dark Knight Rises trailer. That’s right, folks, an hour and a half of dissection and discussion on the trailer for the thrilling climax to Nolan’s Batman trilogy is yours, mere clicks away. Truth be told, while we did venture off into other Marvel ...[Read More]

Review: The Avengers

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE! So, how do I non-spoiler talk about this movie? It’s hard to say. Basically, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) returns to claim the Tesseract cube (the plot device from Captain America: The First Avenger) and ends up forcing Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) to bring together Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), ...[Read More]

Review: Captain America: Super Soldier (360)

Some movie-based video games seek to recreate the plot of the movie itself, which I feel is dangerous ground to tread. Some tell a story completely separate from the movie, which, as long as it doesn’t contradict the movie it’s based on, can be good. Some tell a story that bridges the gap between one movie and another, which can provide a great deal of fill-in, which is always entertai...[Read More]

Review: Green Lantern

There are times when I become horribly confused as to what the majority of critics are thinking. This is one of those times.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is Out, DLC is on the Way

Happy MVC3 Day! You already don’t own all of MVC3. Capcom is gonna release some new costumes and stuff soon. That’s just terrific.

Marvel – Fear Itself

Moments ago, Marvel did a live-streamed press conference announcing a new seven issue series, Fear Itself, starting in April of 2011 with a preview in March 2011, starring Captain America and a few others back in World War II.

Today, in a press release from Capcom, gamers across the world were given the news they’ve been desperately waiting to hear: the official release date for Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Episode 2 Trailer

Capcom announced the upcoming game, Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds at PAX at the beginning of the month, and Lindsey jumped on it to share that tidbit of excitement with the world. Well, I’m hopping on her bandwagon –  I have a new trailer to share with you now!

Democrat Senator Says Comic Books Are For Stupid People

In a move to help make sure teachers in Maryland keep their jobs (and of course scare up some votes for her reelection campaign), Senator Nancy King is running an ad showing what would happen if kids were left teacherless. Oh, and by the way, this ad make it seem like comics are only for the uneducated. Thank you Senator King.

Sir Anthony Hopkins as Odin in Thor

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or have no interest in comic book movies, you’re well aware that there is a Thor movie in the works. Details have been scarce, and so have images…until today. Slated for a summer 2011 release, Marvel Studios confirmed today that, like the upcoming Captain America movie, Thor will be released in 3D (ugh). Personally, I’m sick of 3D, so...[Read More]

Iron Man 2 Review

Tony Stark is such a badass. When you think about it, he has everything people want. Fame, fortune, intelligence, good looks, a way with the ladies, and he is a fucking superhero. I loved the original Iron Man movie, and while I was sure I’d love the sequel, I still had some reservations. Chris and I love going to midnight premieres, so it wasn’t even a question if we would be attendin...[Read More]

Shelf of Heroes (and Villains)

Lindsey and I both love comic books and nerd culture.  We were both born nerds, grew up as nerds, and will pass our nerdish traditions down to any little nerdlings we may have in the future as best we can.  As nerds, we also love little collectibles like statues, bobbleheads, figures, busts, etc. This is a shelf on our center DVD bookshelf.  It contains most (but not all) of our comic and movie re...[Read More]
