Remote Viewing is back… WITH AVENGERS! (See what I did there?) Zak, Fiona and Elroy assembled (HA! They write themselves!) to record the first episode of RV for 2012! They chat about what they’ve been up to, what they’ve seen, and – in Fiona’s case – who they’ve made! The normal show format is thrown [...]
Warner Bros President Jeff Robinov has just now realised that maybe, just maybe, actually knowing something about the IP that his company owns could help avoid killing off the potential gold-mines that are the DC Comics characters. It really isn’t hard to tell that Warner Bros has been pretty clueless when it comes to how [...]
Over the next few years, in the lead up to The Avengers’ movie, Marvel Studios will introduce a couple of characters to the big screen, who may not necessarily be known to many outside of the comic book reading community. Personally, I’ve been quite taken aback by the idea that few ‘normals’ were aware of [...]
The last couple of weeks have been a bit full on here in the eShack™, but I’ve finally managed to cobble together the second instalment of everyone’s favourite animated-recaptacular thing-a-me-jig: Remote Viewing. This time round I’ve included recaps of Ben 10, Black Lagoon, Iron Man (how could I not?) and Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. [...]
The archives here at eol are testament to the fact that I’ve been salivating about the Iron man movie since it was first announced back in June of 2006. However having seen one or two movies in my time, coupled with my nature as a ‘glass half empty’ kind of guy, I’ve been getting really [...]
Something that I’ve harped on about for a while now is the fact that Marvel has taken control over the way that their intellectual property is adapted to film (particularly since the five and a quarter million dollar credit arrangement was secured between Marvel Studios and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.), and how this will [...]
Anyone who has spent any length of time follow my inarticulate ramblings here on elroyonline can probably tell you that my biggest issue with movie adaptations of comic-books is the fact that they constantly deviate from the established origin of a character or a landmark event in comic lore. Most recently my focus was on [...]
While watching Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer the other day it was finally solidified for me why it is that I find that particular team of Superheroes so… well, lame. It’s their powers! With the exception of Johnny Storm (The Human Torch) the others are hardly capable of standing on their own. Now, [...]
You know that guy with whom you work, who never actually appears to be doing anything and yet still somehow gets handed all the cool projects and promotions? And even when he stuffs them up, which he invariably will, he still seems to come out on top… Well, I can’t help thinking that, like that [...]
While I can’t say that I’m all that familiar with the Marvel character Black Widow I was interested to read that Lionsgate has scrapped plans for a movie based on the character. Evidently, since the introduction of the character back in the early seventies, there have been a couple of Black Widow’s. Initially being portrayed [...]
