Hollywood Is Making Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book & A New The Jungle Book Film

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:55 pm, April 29th

I doubt there was any sort of discussion about these two projects being announced at the same time but I appreciate the coincidence nonetheless. Henry Selick, of Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas fame, is set to direct Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book for Disney. The novel was loosely based on Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book which also just happens to be getting some new attention in Hollywood right now. Harry Potter screenwriter Steven Kloves will be writing and directing The Jungle Book for Warner Bros. Please let these movies come out at the same time so I can make a double feature out of them.

I don’t have a lot of room for bookends in my apartment but if I did, I’d pick a set of these from Knob Creek Metal Arts. Because in the image above, that’s not two people jogging, that’s a lady running for her life from a flesh-eating zombie. Yes…these are my kind of products.

That Classic Batmobile You’ve Always Wanted But Still Can’t Afford

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:02 pm, December 28th

There are few pieces of television and movie memorabilia that get nerds’ engines running – the One Ring, the Grail Diary, etc. – but the Batmobile…any Batmobile…is probably at the top of my list. Well, for those of you with some disposable income, your dream is about to come true. One company is now selling fully-functional Batmobiles in the style of the 1966 Batman television show. Atomic batteries to power…turbines to speed…roger, ready to move out!

by Susana Polo | 11:44 am, October 17th

After two days of walking around New York Comic Con this weekend, I got a serious case of what I sarcastically-affectionately call “Con Leg,” a state in which you will ride the bus for two blocks just so you don’t have to walk them. Would these caped socks have made my feet feel better?

No.

But that doesn’t mean they’re not awesome.
