First Listen Of Lizard's Voice In New "Spider-Man"
It's a little less snake-y than I was expecting. Of course, this is all pre-audio editing so how close it is to the final product is anyone's guess.

This is brilliant. You know, until the kids start writing hipster poetry on them covering their arms from shoulder to wrist.

Happy birthday, Princess Leia! To celebrate Ms. Fisher's 55th birthday, let's learn more about the Rebel Alliance from her audition tape. They couldn't sneak any of this dialogue into the final cut?
Barack Obama Has Written Personal Checks To Struggling Americans
One more reason our President is an awesome, awesome man. I'm sure the Right will find some way to vilify him for this.

No More Batman
Seriously Bruce, we love you but stop using your wealth to buy up all the DC prime time. Now is the time for Freakazoid Powdered Toast Man the terror that flaps in the night.

The B Corporation
What I love about this initiative is that it is an example of the kind of values based re-design that I believe we need. It is not an add-on or single product standard (eg fair trade coffee) but rather a comprehensive approach down to the legal foun…
Reflections of a ComicCon
As the 2011 NYCC closed another October weekend, highlights of this unique convention fell to the costumed attendees. Many displayed superheroes of nostalgia, some were new faces in gaming, while others were comic favorites. One Bellatrix Lestrange was as enthusiastic in character as another whipped-ready cat woman. A notable observation was the minimal showing of the Trekkie masses. Perhaps they were consumed within the felt clad crowds. A set of female Vulcans escaped photography on the first day and a few uniformed Federation crew were just as fleeting. There was a large turn out of Star Wars rebels. As challenging as the Princess Leia costume can be, it was in popular display. October diets seem like a worthwhile effort when it comes to these slim tight outfits. If only Jabba was more mobile… While exhibits and panels were in plenty supply, some mega attractions deemed resistance as futile. The Mark Hamill Spotlight was a particular favorite. Hamill delivered his coveted stories and warm rapport with his audience. As a comic book fan himself, Mark expressed his delight with sharing his many insights. The presence of children was a wonderful reminder of the child within all the adults in attendance. Eventually, the Wonder Woman costume made its appearance. One woman wanted her daughter to take a photo with a real Wonder Woman and was thankful to have that opportunity before the conference ended. It would have been nice to have an invisible jet as a transport home. The Doctor Who booth featured Ian McNeice, their Dalek battling Winston Churchill. He informed his Whovian fans that his sign off “KBO” stands for Keep Buggering On. This mantra works in NYCC as there were world of worlds to visit.
