Ant-Man isn’t the only shrinking superhero out there. There’s a veritable swarm of the little buggers… Doll Man was secretly chemist Darrel Dane. Most covers featured the original tiny titan bound, gagged, crucified, or hog tied. So if your kink is seeing a tiny man without pants tied up, here you are. Secondly, Doll Man has staying power. Doll Man remained associated with the Freedom Fighters until the New 52 reboot....
Originally intended as a vehicle for Ricki Lake,The Middleis a case in point. Six seasons later with a seventh confirmed in May expectations have well and truly been proved correct. What really distinguishesThe Middlefrom other shows of its kind is its faultless cast. As for the Heck kids, youll struggle to find three finer young actors. Sher works wonders as Sue Sue Heck, so good they named her twice. Spotting all theSaturday Night Livealumni is one of the shows incidental pleasures....
But thenLethal Weapon 4was a film with very different expectations on it. It was needed, urgently, to dig Warner Bros out of a hole. Marshals(a sort-of sequel toThe Fugitive, albeit without Harrison Ford) wasnt inspiring too much confidence. It was also pouring money into the big budgetSoldier, due later in 1998. But it needed a safer bet in the midst of its summer schedule.Lethal Weapon 4suddenly had its greenlight. And the clock was very much ticking....
From Body Snatchers to Independence Day, we celebrate Jeff Goldblum’s unique contribution to sci-fi cinema… Some actors are chameleons. Then theres Jeff Goldblum, whose approach to acting is very different but no less valid than those chameleons. In each of his roles, he brings charisma, intrigue and restless energy. Geeky and awkward yet also flirtatious and comfortable in his own skin. Intellectual yet sometimes naive. Gentle but also commanding and sometimes even scary....
Daniel Craig is back at James Bond 007 in Spectre. And the new trailer gives some clues as to what to expect. Here’s our detailed look… Its hard to beat a good James Bond trailer these days. Planes, trains, automobiles and Bond on skis for the first time since 1999sThe World Is Not Enough. Lets take it apart and see what we can figure out. Its fair to assume that the rear flamethrower is an optional extra....
Our latest Jokes Per Minute attempt takes on the world of Rick and Morty. Get your calculators out, biiiiitch! Rick and Mortycame out of absolutely nowhere in late 2013. And what a surprise it was! If only I had hard statistics to back up my claims. Again, this is a terribly unfunny (and perhaps unfair) way to look at a comedy. LikeVeep,Rick and Mortypresents its own challenges in figuring out exactly what constitutes a joke....
Footage from Suicide Squad and X-Men recently seeped out of Comic-Con. But, Ryan asks, is it worth studios getting annoyed over such leaks? This years Comic-Con alone saw footage ofWarcraft, Deadpool, Suicide SquadandX-Men: Apocalypseall leak online. That this happened isnt a surprise. What is surprising is how publically annoyed studios seem to have been by it all. We have been unable to achieve that goal. You dont need us to point out the grumpy tone of those words....
Imagine going into the offices of a television commissioner in, say, the early 2000s. Could you imagine a single American web link touching it? Can you imagine a commercial broadcaster in the UK giving it a whirl? Yet in 2003, this is just the proposal that producer Richard Hopkins put together. He took it into the BBC, and, to be fair, got knocked back. A little while later, the BBCs own Fenia Vardanis had a not dissimilar idea....
Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen H.A.T.E. So, out come the gunchucks. The book works as a tongue-in-cheek parody while still serving as an entertaining story on its own terms. The numerous fight scenes manage to convey an impressive amount of movement despite the stark art style. Sexcastle himself is an insanely likable hero, and the story wraps itself up in a surprisingly sweet way. Cold War paranoia, superheroes-as-arms race, memory-as-propaganda....
Although both difficult and fortuitous circumstances spring from nowhere, Falling Skies recaptures some of its mojo. ThisFalling Skiesreview contains spoilers. Altogether, I think the kidnapping of Hal will play out in a big way in the coming episodes. Even though Im happy for the success of the find, it truly stretches all credibility! At least there were tidbits of the larger story this season being nicely teased. How will the pockets of humanity unite?...
Which parts of Ant-Man are Peyton Reed’s, and which are down to Edgar Wright? We’ve been taking a look… This article contains major spoilers forAnt-Man. One question remains, though how would Edgar Wrights version have been different to Peyton Reeds completed film? Ad content continues below Just how massive were the post-Edgar WrightAnt-Manrewrites? Did they rejig the entire story? Its this kind of bent mentor/pupil story. Peyton Reed came on board withAnt-Manwithout much time before production properly began....

Do you love Marvel movies but don’t know where to start with the comics? We’ve got you covered… Since the firstIron Manmovie opened, something unexpected has happened. These comics arent in strict continuity with the films, but youll get the idea easily enough! ButExtremisis pretty signficant, and a definite ground floor access point for the characters sometimes complicated history. For starters, Adi Granovs distinctive art was a clear inspiration for the cinematic look of Iron Man....
