I would just like to point out that I made this in November 2014, and Mad Max: Fury Road didn’t come out until May 2015. I loved MM:FR, but also hated the fact that this was always going to seem derivative of it.
Yesterday morning, Warner Bros. issued a press-release with the upcoming dates for all of its big DC Comics movie properties through 2020. If you’ve been paying attention, though, you’re no doubt aware that there are also a lot of upcoming Marvel Studios properties with release dates set for roughly the same time frame. UPDATE: A…
Warner Brothers has decided to triple-down on veteran/terrible filmmaker Zack Snyder with the announcement late Sunday that Zack Snyder will ruin a Justice League movie, to be released sometime in 2018.

Somehow, though, at the same time, everybody agreed that Hugh Jackman is still a pretty great Wolverine. Flash-forward a few years,…

Welcome to the latest installment of Doom and Doomer, where Jim Doom and I take a back-and-forth look at comic book movies. Today we discuss Man of Steel, which most of you probably saw awhile ago. To explain: We live on opposite sides of the globe, so it’s difficult to find times where we’re both…
