Dan Didio has said repeatedly that the DCU reboot is permanent. However, in less than two months, they have changed their mind as to whether Wonder Woman should wear pants. Constancy is not their strong point, you know?

Your guest judges tonight are Mary Murphy and Rex Harrington, who is Mary’s gay best friend who lives in Canada. Lauren and Rodrigo: hip-hop. I love that Luther knows that a good hip-hop routine doesn’t have to have a storyline, and I really liked his choreo here. Rodrigo was predictably excellent here, just straight-up killing […]

I just got back from watching the first episode of Torchwood (a local British-pub style bar and restaurant hosts a monthly Doctor Who showing, and this month was ‘A Good Man Goes to War’ and ‘Miracle Day’), and I have to admit, as someone who was never really grabbed by Torchwood the way I was […]

People have been asking me in email if I think the difference between the quality of the Canadian version of SYTYCD (thus far – be wary, as they all danced mostly in-style this week and next week is the real test) as to the American version which has not enthralled this season so far is […]

My first encounter with Signalman came in an issue of Justice League of America I read when I was about five – specifically a two-parter where he was part of the Ultra-Humanite’s Secret Society of Super-Villains. (This was one of the periodic JLA/JSA teamups which were so awesome at the time and which modern-day comics […]

Your guest judges this week are Jesse Tyler Ferguson of Modern Family and Sonya Tayeh. Ferguson is verbose and actually occasionally helpful, and makes the long-overdue point that Cat Deeley really deserves an Emmy nomination for her work as host. Sonya is a neverending stream of celebratory nothing. Sasha and Alexander: paso doble and Broadway.. […]

On Twitter, @magiclovehose asks: Something for the “give me something to write about” list: the legal ramifications of copyright and 3D printers? The thing about 3D printers is that they directly challenge one of the assumptions upon which copyright law is predicated. See, right now, in most countries you can’t copyright the design of a […]

Your judges tonight are Jean-Marc, Tre, Blake, Luther and Mary. No surprises for the first episode – well, other than the fact that they went with five judges, and Mary’s judging two shows this week, and what happened to Moses, which is just downright tragic. (For SYTYCD USA viewers who don’t follow the Canadian show: […]

Is it still entertaining to mock Harry Knowles, or have we moved on to the point where we view him as just sort of faintly sad? I mean, at this point we all know exactly what Knowles’ flaws are as a film journalist, but is he still relevant enough that we can take deep pleasure […]

So over the July 4 weekend I finally got around to seeing X-Men: First Class, and…ugh.  I know that movie’s a critical hit and all, but it just left me…angry, I guess, that I’d wasted my time.  And the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I hated the movie for the […]
