Almost Totally Excellent

Target Creates A Supermom In Their New Justice League Animated Commercial

I must admit, I was very excited to hear Target was going to sell “Justice League” products. Not so much when I arrived in-store to find sippy cups and Wonder Woman donning pink and purple. But they put together a fun animated commercial featuring a mom who joins the League, and that’s pretty cool.

Review

Man of Steel As Angry Young Man

Generally, I’m a big believer in looking at things for what they are, and Man of Steel perhaps deserves a recap of the context many of us walked in with. After all, a production that went from zero to shooting in record time is not one to inspire confidence in an audience. It’s an inauspicious start to come off of a previous franchise flop, all while admitting that the entire reason for your movie’s existence is an effort to retain licenses over an origin story and character contrary to a twenty year old court decision. With that in mind, to say that some may be disappointing implies that there was a high mark set up to hit, and there just wasn’t, no matter how good they got at cutting those trailers to a swelling soundtrack. Careful consideration is not something Man of Steel had time for, along with perhaps a few more re-writes. And so, quite expectedly, what you end up with is what we’ve got; a lot of sound, little fun, and plenty of fury, all of which, ultimately, signifies not much.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s full of SPOILERS.

The Man of Steel Porn Parody Features Things You Won’t See In Man of Steel [VIDEO]

I haven’t seen Man of Steel yet (no spoilers!) but I can bet when I do, I won’t see Doctor Fate, Livewire, Silver Banshee, or Zatanna. Much like The Wolverine porn parody and others, Man of Steel XXX lets the filmmakers utilize DC Comics characters in a way Warner Bros. probably never will. And no, I don’t mean the having sex part.

Things We Saw Today: Brosie the Riveter Could Hang on Your Wall, Too

If you liked the story of how Brosie the Riveter came to be, you can now buy his poster (along with his distaff counterpart) from WeLoveFine. It’s up to you to decide which of your walls can actually handle him. He’s a bit too much for our front page, even, so I’ve, uh, cropped him.

Warner Bros.’ Dungeons & Dragons Movie In Trouble As Universal Says “Back Off, We’re Already Making One”

That was fast.

It was only on Tuesday we heard the news that Warner Bros. has acquired the film rights to Dungeons & Dragons and is hoping to make movie that won’t cause eyeball bleeding. But now a dispute over those rights makes it look like they’ll have to fight a legal battle before getting to the swords and magic one.

Kevin Feige Gives Some Very Kind Advice to Warner Bros. From His Throne of Money

If there’s anything that’s getting more skeptical side eye than the idea, four years ago, that Marvel Entertainment could pull off a three movie, two year leadup to bringing us not just the world’s first superhero team movie from the Big Two’s character stables, but the first successful one… it’s Warner Bros.’ current “me too!” effort to do make lightning strike twice.

Now, Kevin Feige, working as he does for Marvel, might not have the most insider view of the Justice League movie’s progress, but it’s nice of him to be giving advice from his position of having helmed a successful superhero franchise that’s made seven total movies and counting in about half a decade.
