Project Silence Podcast 49: Party Up
Did you know that Starz has original programing? We didn’t, until two weeks ago when we discovered Party Down, a funny, quirky comedy that Starz promptly canceled as soon as we started watching it! We’ll talk about this, along with reviews of, Toy Story 3, The Road, Hot Tub Time Machine, The Blind Side, Justice [...]

Barack Obama is a Geek
I knew there was another reason I like President Elect Obama. He’s a closet geek, collecting Spider-Man and Conan comic books .
The Ettatorial for the Week of 11-05-08
A very good week of releases this week, with both the quality and quantity of releases I love. While three other books made attempts to be picks of the week (Amazing Spider-Man was very good, but I felt odd having it up for a third straight week, the Avengers: The Initiative Special was so close, [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 10-29-08
Another week of big releases, with my count of issues at seven purchased. Yet, with that big of a number, nothing really stood out that much. Avengers the Initiative (a perennial pick here at the Ettatorial) wasn’t it’s usual self, Trinity seemed to take a step back in regards to it’s story-telling clarity, Justice League [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 10-22-08
A huge week of releases this week, with both of the “Big 2″ trying to out-do the other with each of their respective “event” books. And while I purchased both of them (Secret Invasion and Final Crisis) you’ll notice neither one of them are up above as picks for the week. No, while both were [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 10-15-08
A small week this week, though double the amount of books purchased last week. Almost all of them were good, with Trinity almost making the cut but missing out due to the second story (I’m all for cosmic, this one just didn’t do it for me) and Amazing Spider-Man almost making it as well, but [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 9-17-08
Another medium sized week of releases for me, and again, just as last week, the quality was strong across the board. So while books like Amazing Spider-Man, Trinity, and Godland were all awesome, my two picks of the week just hit me right this week. The first pick this week is All-Star Superman #12. The [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 8-20-08
A very nice week of releases this week, highlighted by my pick of the week. While there were quite a few books purchased, only one really rose to the top. A few came real close, Brave and the Bold and Captain America being two, but I decided to just go with one book this week. [...]
The Dark Knight Movie Review
Not a lot of movies live up to the hype that Hollywood surrounds them with. This year alone I’ve been let down several times by films that their trailers made look promising…but that all changed when I saw “The Dark Knight” this past Friday at the IMAX theater in Des Moines. To say that this [...]
