but where are the boy popstars?
Say what you want about Mama Monster I won’t listen anyway but it can’t be denied that she, both musically and aesthetically, has made pop music relevant again. Her arrival onto the scene has run parallel to a new era in popular music. Just the term ‘pop music’ has been redefined. No longer just smoldering boy bands and sugary sweet school girls, pop has been stretched to...

there's a Tekken in my Street Fighter
Today at the San Diego Comic-Con, Capcom and Namco confirmed the heavily rumored new company VS. company title as being ‘Street Fighter X Tekken’ (pronounced Street Fighter Cross Tekken, bee tee dubs)
The real surprise of the panel wasn’t the game’s announcement though, it was the playable demo that ‘Street Fighter 4’ producer Yoshinori Ono had for...

this post regards Inception and Tom Hardy
Inception is one of those movies I just can’t take issue with. After all the rave reviews I heard from both people I never agree with and people I always agree with about movies, I was so ready to be the one jerk who goes “it was good but I didn’t love it.” Mostly because I like the attention.
I don’t get to be that jerk this time.
With ‘The Dark...

Avatar: The Legend of Korra is more important than...
I’m pretty sure there is a god now.
How does one wash the disgusting taste of the lifeless, joyless, gutted and zombified abomination that was M. Night’s ‘The Last Airbender’ film? (Of which the less is said the better?)
Why with the official announcement of a brand new series from original ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan...

new Dollhouse sort of!
Hey ‘Dollhouse’ fans guess what? A brand new story in the Doll-verse is on its way in comic book form courtesy of writers Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, artist Cliff Richards, and publisher Dark Horse Comics.
Ugo has the exclusive first look at both the cover and the details for the new title, ‘Dollhouse: Epitaphs’ right here:...

free bitch. fights evil.
The always fearsome Lady Gaga had some words to say about the Westboro Baptists, who showed up to her concert last night in St. Louis.
For those unfamiliar with the Westboro Baptist Church of crazy folk let me give you a quick summary:
The WBC, led by Fred Phelps and primarily consisting of his family members, is an extremist group using false claims of Baptist teachings to lead a hate-fueled...

leisurely strolling dead
AMC’s televised adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s hit comic book series ‘The Walking Dead’ has been in development for a while. But aside from some casting announcements and a few zombie photos we had no idea what the show’s non-undead cast would look like in character. Well now we do.
The zombies look appropriately gnarly without being obnoxiously gory, but as far...

DJ Hero 2 to ft. my entire iTunes library
At E3 this year Activision and Freestylegames unveiled a partial list of the artists we could expect to hear in DJ Hero 2, the sequel to last year’s DJ Hero. It included Lady Gaga, and I was happy with that.
They have since revealed the list of all 108 artists to be featured in the game. Get ready for something fierce.
2Pac
50 Cent
Adamski
Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force

titans together! we hope...
This news just makes my heart all a flutter.
A while back, ‘Red Robin’ writer Fabian Nicieza let it slip during an interview with Newsarama that he was working with the newest big name DC Comics writer JT Krul on a crossover with ‘Teen Titans.’ Many fans were quick to point out that, at the time of the interview, Felicia D. Henderson was still “writing” the...

meet Wargle, the war eagle pokemon
Actually he’s classified as the Valor Pokemon but whatever, war eagle is cooler and more on the nose. Wargle is officially my new favorite flying type Pokemon. Not that there was much competition, as I’m not exactly enamored with any flying types at all now that I think about it…but Wargle is the exception! Look at how intense he is! And how stylish with that Ke$ha inspired...

The Guild season 4! gg!
As I continued fighting my occasional insomnia last night, I realized something: The Guild’s season 4 premiere had gone online at midnight!
The Guild is the brainchild of the incredibly talented, fierce, and ginger Felicia Day. Felicia is most certainly one of my favorite gingers around, having starred in Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, Buffy, and the ahead of its time Dollhouse....

B-Flow is one classy diva
Everyone’s favorite diva that isn’t Gaga, Brandon Flowers of The Killers, has decided to do a solo album. And this is what it will look like.
He’s already released the first single from the album with ‘Crossfire’ and I have to say…it sounds like The Killers. Not a bad thing at all mind you; the song is pretty damn good. But as much as I love me some B-Flow, a...

Daigo wins...sky is blue, you know
Okay, so I have to confess something. I totally forgot that Evo 2010 was happening this weekend and I feel like a loser.
For those of you who are not gaymers, Evo or the Evo Championship Series is the biggest fighting game tournament in North America. And it is real serious business.
How srs? Real srs. The tournament began in New York with about 40 people in 1995 and has since grown to an...

stop everything; it's Tron
Empire Magazine’s newest issue drops today and inside are some shiny new Tron: Legacy screen grabs.
It’s amazing what the Geek-revolution has done to the movie industry. It almost feels half-hearted at times, with fanboys never being truly satisfied, and production studios treating the properties like any other random IP. But natural behaviors of both aside you can’t deny that...

free bitch. makes rain.
This past Friday on NBC’s The Today Show the immaculate Lady Gaga returned to her hometown of NYC to perform for nearly 20,000 fans. And in doing so proved why she is the fiercest bitch on the planet.
Keeping it classy, as always, she began her Rockefeller performance with a rendition of ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’ which went into a shortened ‘Bad Romance.’ What sounds like an impossibly...

it's okay, everyone else is crying too
Wow.
Every now and then a movie comes along that ushers in a new era. Toy Story was that movie. Then came Toy Story 2 which proved that you could make a sequel that lived up to the original. And now we have Toy Story 3; easily 2010’s best movie so far.
I’ve seen a lot of really terrible movies lately. And for every one that isn’t terrible there’s one that’s just kind of alright, but nothing to...
