Best of British Biographies – Rhys Ifans

A  short while ago I did a piece on Anthony Hopkins and mentioned some of the talent that had been born in the area of South Wales around Swansea. If you head Westish for about sixty miles you’ll be near the birthplace of this chap…Rhys Ifans. If you’re wondering, it’s pronounced Reece Ivans. That’s a […]

You’re saying it wrong: The Benedict Cumberbatch Name Generator

  Of course, the wacky people in Britland can’t be bothered to say superhero actor Benedict Cumberbatch properly. It’s too much effort and a lot more fun to get it astoundingly, satisfyingly wrong. Cumberbatch — er, Cumberbund? — seems okay with this. Say his real name enough times and you start wondering what is correct, […]

Spider-Man: No Way Home is, as of writing, the most popular movie ever in our Peeple’s Poll (92.6)—just barely squeaking past Avengers: Endgame (92.2).

Marvel Cinematic Universe will release four movies in last five months of 2021

It feels like we’re rounding the corner from the effects of COVID19, and if the vaccinations can outpace the variants then maybe, just maybe, we’ll have a normal second half of 2021. I’m sure that’s what movie lovers, and especially movie theaters, are hoping for. And the MCU is certainly going all in on a return […]

Spider-Man & Iron Man – Lyrics to Back in Black by AC/DC

Starting way back in 2008 with Iron Man‘s use of I Am Iron-Man and, yes, Back in Black, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has never been shy of using classic rock hits in their superhero movies. While 2019’s Spiderman: Far From Home doesn’t have as many rocking songs as Spider-Man: Homecoming, it’s got a winning use […]

Movie Review – Spider-Man: Far from Home – Fun, but a little underwhelming

  I liked Spider-Man: Far From Home. I liked it a lot. But I didn’t love it, and that surprised me. I adore Tom Holland‘s version of Spider-Man, and think he’s the best Peter Parker ever done, no question. (Notice how this sidesteps Miles Morales‘ stunning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse quite nicely.) And every appearance […]

Life on Earth After Avengers: Endgame (Post-post Snap)

NOTE: Spoilers start right away for Avengers: Endgame. Although it’s a beautiful moment in Avengers: Endgame when Dr. Strange‘s portals opened and The Vanished step back into existence, the sudden return of all these people is very problematic. Let’s assume for a  minute Strange’s sorcerers planned ahead and saved all the people in planes from […]

Quiz – Mike Morales as the Spider-verse’s New Spider-Man

This quiz deals with the history of Marvel comic’s “other” Spider-Man — Miles Morales (showcased in Into the Spider-verse), and how he became a superhero. If you’ve been a life-long fan of Morales, you won’t find this quiz too difficult.[quiz-cat id=”12320″] Until I started researching Morales, I had no idea how convoluted the comic book universe […]

Stan Lee – His Favorite Marvel Characters

There’s no doubt Stan Lee, often together with frequent co-inventor/artist Jack Kirby, created some of the most beloved, enduring, and influential superhero characters.  Without Lee, there would be no Marvel Universe, at least not with the faces by which we know it. [pullquote]Lee was a man with a mission of hope for millions of kids, […]
