I am a long-time fan of “Battle Angel Alita,” going back all the way to when Viz released the translation of the Gunnm graphic novels, written by Japanese manga-master Yukito Kishiro, back in the 1990s. Viz renamed the main character from Gally to Alita (which, admittedly, does sound cooler), changed...
I just got back from seeing “Alita: Battle Angel,” and I have to say, I loved it. I’m a fan of the original graphic novel manga series and anime movie from the ’90s, and was wondering what they would cut out to make the big screen. Surprisingly, apart from one...
Take a look at these awesome NASA mission posters! These are actually made by NASA and not fans, and they’re slightly corny, which makes them all the better! You can see a lot more of them on this BoredPanda article, or this SpaceFlight101 article. Someone at NASA really put a lot...
Valentine’s day, 2019, will see the release of the (hopefully) awesome Hollywood adaptation of Battle Angel Alita, titled (backwardsly) Alita: Battle Angel.

The new trailer for the upcoming Transformers movie “Bumblebee” is out, and I’m stoked! This is a big departure from the Michael Bay’s movies, where he completely re-designed the Autobots and Decepticons to be “more modern”. I’m a Transformers classicist, meaning I’m a huge fan of G1 transformers from the...
The first trailer for Marvel’s “Captain Marvel,” staring Brie Larson, is finally out! This one takes place back in the 1990’s, and is obviously going to be a major lead in for the epic conclusion to “Avengers: Infinity War!”. Captain Marvel is here to save the day… And the Universe.
Another DragonCon has come and gone! With some 80,000 attendees, it wasn’t quite as big as 2017’s DragonCon, but it was a blast none-the-less. (And honestly, less people makes it a lot easier to navigate). You can read more about DragonCon 2018 here. But for now, check out some pictures...
As usual, Comic-Con has seen the release of a slew of new sci-fi, fantasy, and superhero movie trailers! Here’s some of what I think are the best of the best. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald From the Harry Potter prequel series… Alita: Battle Angel The American cinematic treatment of...
