The Five Stages of Watching a Pixar Movie
Thank you, Only Leigh!
I saw Inside Out the other weekend and it was very good. Not one of Pixar’s best, but still an awesome flick. Unique premise, fun characters, great ending, quality bits of humor and emotion; solid Pixar all around. Of course, considering it came in at #2 behind Jurassic World (which I also saw), probably means that we’re going to get three more highly profitable Cars sequels before we get another really good Pixar movie.
Sigh.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/4/15
Happy Fourth of July, my American readers! I hope you’re all out blowing up a small part of your country today! I’m picnicking with the family and hopefully having a blast. My brother is in town, so he and I can finally have a face-to-face conversation instead of staying in touch via the comments section on my blog.
We’ve got some quality comics this week, especially out of DC. I’m finally buying a regular Superman comic after years ignoring Big Blue. I only wish I could say the same about Bizarro. I had such high hopes for that book. Marvel delivered a cosmic one-two punch with both Darth Vader and Princess Leia, and my humor quota is filled by another great issue of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.
Which easily wins Comic Book of the Week when Squirrel Girl takes on the Avengers!
Though it has some stiff competition from Secret Wars #4, which I reviewed over at Word of the Nerd. Secret Wars might be the best crossover in a while. I’m really enjoying the power and energy of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic on that series.
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #42, Bizarro #2, Darth Vader #7, Princess Leia #5 and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #7.
Depending on How Old You Are, This Trailer Will Make You Sad, Curious or Confused
Chris Farley is getting a documentary!
Looks pretty good. I hope to find it and watch it one of these days. Chris Farley was the man!

The Batman v. Superman Train is Rumbling Down the Tracks!
Rumors are still swirling that Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is going to have a huge, blowout appearance at Comic-Con next week. To get us even more excited for that moment, Entertainment Weekly has released a new set of images of the movie, including our first really good look at Wonder Woman!
Looks pretty good! I never for a moment thought she was only going to wear brown, based on those early pics. But this looks fine to me.
Here’s another picture of Diana with Bruce Wayne, so it looks like she’ll be stepping out out of costume at some point in the film.
And hey, here’s a shot of Batman facing off against Superman, nifty!
A couple more pics are at EW’s website, so swing on by. Maybe this movie won’t be so bad after all. And somebody get me some news on Robin, gosh darn it!

We’re Getting More Rick and Morty! And Soon!
The second season of the amazing, hilarious cartoon Rick and Morty is coming to televisions on July 26! Hip, hip, hooray! Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!
Looks like plenty of awesome wackiness, but that trailer doesn’t even touch the depths of how crazy this show can get it. If you haven’t seen the first season, now is the time to get caught up! It’s on Adult Swim! Rick and Morty forever!
