Why I still miss Veronica Mars

Jason
Monday
8:00 am

Oh Veronica Mars what a supernova you were. Here one year and gone the next.

I am sure you all know how much I lament the loss of Firefly after a short one season. But not too far below Firefly sits that sassy, sparkplug of a teenage detective Veronica Mars.

Granted the final third season was a bit stilted as it tried to keep ahead of the cancellation axe, but those first two season were dark, engaging and full of twists and turns we never saw coming.

Every once in a while I tend to rewatch television. Some good, some bad, some I don’t want anyone to know I actually watch. I have ..read more

Geek6 casts The Avengers…Joss style

Sunday
11:59 pm

Now that the dust has settled from the news going around that Joss Whedon is set to direct Marvel’s The Avengers, and that it is quite possible he will pulling rewrite duties on the movie and on the upcoming Captain America movie, let the speculation begin.

What speculation is that?

Why who would be the perfect Whedonverse people to cast of course. Now being honest with myself I think it is foregone conclusion that most casting here will be decided by the studio, not Joss himself. Heck I think most of the lead players in this game already have signed on the dotted line.

But in the end, Joss loves using his mates ..read more

This just in: Joss Whedon to direct Marvel’s The Avengers

Well spank me with a wet pig and call me Sally. My phone blew up today as news started circulating that Joss Whedon has signed on to direct The Avengers.

Yes. Joss. Whedon. Avengers.

All I have to say is that this is probably a match made in heaven. First reaction was complete fanboy wank-out. Second was “Oh crap, Joss is going to take on ANOTHER movie project.” Well at least according the phone, and to news outlet CNN and entertainment outlet MTV.

Now that the OMG has worked its way out, I am still waiting for the final “Yes this is the case” from Joss himself.

But let’s digress and see why Joss+Avengers+Marvel+Movie=Awesomesauce.

Last decade’s comic timeline to me

Friday
11:33 am

I have finally gotten around to start catching up on my comic pile. That might have something to do with me actually getting out to the comic store and clearing my hold box. They are probably much happier with me now.

I still do not have an over abundance of titles in my holds, but they do stack up. So as I hung out at home yesterday thanks to a nice little cold, I decided to dive and and try and get caught up. Only after a while did I realize that the new Marvel event, Siege, was going on.

And Siege really got me thinking about the big universe events for ..read more

Christmas brought me geek aka Ow ow my penis is burning!

Wednesday
3:22 am

Christmas has come and sort of gone, and I stand here looking at my spoils. And all I can really think of right now is that I make it much too easy to shop for me.

Really, if it screams geek (or the sports teams I like) you know I will like it no matter what. And I will embrace it. I will wear it and smile at the confusing looks on the faces of those around me.

So its about the point where you are asking yourself what’s all the nonsense about a penis? I know, I know. But patience.

So I just wanted to share with you the highlights.

Pick6: Why I love Serenity

Jason
Friday
11:04 am

Just got back in tonight (well it was last night before I passed out and finished this morning). From where you ask? Well judging by the glitter in my hair some may claim the strip club down the street from the offices. But that was not it. That glitter came from a sailor hat some sailor chick lent me.

No, tonight was Salt Lake City’s Can’t Stop the Serenity event. Four hours of Whedony fun, Browncoats, raffles, auctions, food, beer and the Big Damn Movie itself, Serenity.

And as the movie made its way to the inevitable end, I sat there listening to my fellow Browncoats around me, cheer, jeer and sob ..read more

I’m going to see Serenity…again

Jason
Monday
11:43 pm

Yep, that is right. I think this will bring me to my sixth viewing of Joss Whedon’s continuation of Firefly, Serenity, on the big screen.

Tonight after some very serious dinner, meaning brats and beer, it was decided by those at the table that it was a moral imperative that we must attend the Salt Lake City Can’t Stop the Serenity event. An event that happens on an annual basis to raise awareness for Equality Now, a charity near and dear to Whedon’s heart.

But it also means I get to see all my big damn heroes in action again…when I am not watching them on DVD.

Last year I dressed up ..read more

Pick6: Smallville v2.0, what’s next?

Jason
Tuesday
10:37 am

Season nine of Smallville kicked off to some very lackluster ratings. Ratings so lackluster that they were actually the lowest season premier out of all Smallville seasons.

Now don’t get me wrong, The CW did the show no favors by shuffling it off to Friday nights, a growing wasteland for television. But at the same time, The CW got to crow about its highest ratings in the timeslot in the last year.

But Smallville is showing its age. Nine seasons is going to be a very good run the show. But with Smallville’s bulk of success, and the small little hit it has in genre series The Vampire Diaries, it seems inevitable ..read more
