Yeah, I know, the header at the top of this page says “Movie Musings”, and this Tor.com interview doesn’t exactly fit into that purview, since it’s ostensibly about the republication by Hard Case Crime of Harlan Ellison’s first novel, Web of the City, but Ellison has be read more

Iron Man may seem poised to rise to the challenge, but there are some villains even a high tech suit of armor can’t help you take on. I’ve been sitting on this one for a few days now, ever since I heard about it last week, just in case it looked like there was going to be a quick resolut read more

We all make misteaks. Fortunately for most of us they’re not caught on film and preserved for all time. Also fortunately, these bloopers from some of the biggest stars of the 30s and 40s were. And thanks to the film archives we get to see them all compiled right here. So if yoou’re in ne read more
