Star Wars: Rogue One Trailer Delivers Both Stars and Wars

It’s a real shame that ‘Star’ and ‘War’ don’t rhyme. But rather than dwell on the unfairness of life, let’s enjoy a new trailer for Rogue One!

Looks pretty snazzy! Characters are coming together, the jokes are landing. Here’s hoping this mission gets pulled off without a hitch! If we’re gonna get more of these films until the heat death of the universe, I’d like to know that the’re gonna be good.

6 Thoughts on Pokemon GO

It’s been a month now since Pokemon GO took over the world, and I’d like to think everything has changed for the better — though I suppose nothing has really changed at all. The world is still the world. And Pokemon GO has not yet become the perfect game it was always meant to be. It’s got a long way to go and a lot of updates ahead of itself. But hey, at least it’s fun.

Pikachus are way too rare

Right now, I’m level 18 and am on Team Valor. I’ve seen and caught 60 pokemon with a pretty empty Pokedex. I’ve captured a few gyms, but one can’t really hold a gym for long. I’m not really in it for the gyms anyway. My strongest team is made up of mostly Eevee evolutions, because that’s just pretty easy, apparently. And I catch more Weedles and Rattatas than one would ever want. Fortunately, that just keeps boosting up my Stardust reserve for when I really need that stuff down the line.

I’m excited to see the world get into a pokemon mood, and I’m doubly excited now for Pokemon Sun and Moon coming in November. So join me after the jump for my thoughts on the phenomenon that is Pokemon GO!

New Luke Cage Trailer Brings the Goods!

Are you ready for a full-sized Luke Cage trailer? You better be, because the Internet delivers!

Looks awesome! This is gonna be another great show from Marvel and Netflix. Cage looks just as badass and cool as he did in Jessica Jones. But we gotta wait until the end of September before we can actually watch the darn thing.

Everything Wrong with Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice

So I’m on vacation this week, and that makes for a very lazy Sean. Turns out, I do a lot of my best work when I’m actually at work. When I’m at home, there are too many video games and whatchamahoosits to play with to stay focused. What can I say? I like to play!

So forgive me if this video is the best I can do on these lazy stay-at-home days!

Still, it makes some good points about Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Though now we’re on to making fun of Suicide Squad, so Cinema Sins might be a little late to the party.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/6/16

I don’t know what this makes of me, but I skipped the Suicide Squad Rebirth issue this week. I’ve never been particularly interested in the comic. And I only kinda sorta liked the movie. So nuts to that whole mess!

Fortunately, the nuts and bolts of Suicide Squad are still good! Harley Quinn debuts her new Rebirth series this week, and its as phenomenal! I’m so glad that Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti and their artistic teams are still around! Best possible choice by DC there.

I feel like Harley Quinn has probably fought zombies before

Though I still want to see an entire issue drawn by Conner. It would be magical! Does anybody know if she’s said publicly why she isn’t drawing much of the comic? She’s one of my favorite artists in the biz and this book is almost tailor-made for her.

Comic Reviews: Batman #4, Harley Quinn #1, Invincible Iron Man #12, Justice League #2 and Nightwing #2.
