I am one of those who simply does not get Anime.  Most the examples I’ve seen – and I’ve seen plenty, believe me – are riddled with substandard animation quality, wacky pop tunes that do not belong, and plots that make almost no sense whatsoever.  For...

It has been a long time since I’ve seen Iron Man, the original movie, and there has been a lot of releases connected to it since then. They have really altered the perspective that you got when you originally watched it. You kind of have a different perspective of Tony Stark from when...

Neil Gaiman Doctor Who Episode Will Have Cybermen!
posted by Carl
Back in August I posted a rumor about Neil Gaiman writing an episode for series 7 of Doctor Who where in he would re-imagine the Cybermen.  To make a long story short, nothing could be found other than the rumor, then Gaiman said in an interview that he wasn’t writing it.  After that in his Hugo acceptance speech he said that he was in the third draft of a Doctor Who episode. The interwebs and Twittershpere exploded with excitement and speculation.  Would  Mr. Gaiman’s episode be in series 7 or series 8 as they were already filming series 7? The answer came a couple of weeks ago when Doctor Who...
