Hour 1 of PTG Episode 12 is all about DC Comics, on video, in print, and on prime time television. On video, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies appears to be the next mainstream DC storyline to be adapted into animated form as part of Warner Premiere’s DC Universe Animated Feature line, and I say “appears to [...]

Ain’t It Cool News, or AICN.com, is reporting that Warner Premiere’s next entry in their DC Universe Animated line of direct-to-video features after Green Lantern: First Flight, which hits stores this summer will be Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, a direct adaptation of the story originally featured in Superman/Batman #1-6, written by Jeph Loeb (Superman for All [...]

Well, it looks like we’re going to have to wait a little longer for a few Marvel movies whose release dates were announced just a few weeks ago.
In a press release issued this morning, Marvel Studios announced a revised schedule of films in development, a schedule which pushes Thor and The Avengers, both originally slated [...]

Hour 2 of PTG Episode 11 continues Mad Mario’s in-studio visit and focuses for much of the hour on upcoming geek movies for 2009. The opening sound drop is, of course, from the Hugh Jackman-John Travolta film debacle Swordfish, which, though abysmal, is actually pretty quotable … all right, fine, just that one moment in [...]

‘Watchmen’ opens with $55.7 million, falls short of Snyder’s ‘300′

Author: Felix | Files under Uncategorized

Who watches the Watchmen? Well, quite a few people this weekend, as expected, but not quite as many as I’m sure Warner Bros., DC Comics, and Legendary Pictures were hoping would.
Here’s the breakdown of the box office numbers from ‘Watchmen’ this past weekend, as compiled by David Pierson of the Los Angeles Times:
Superhero blockbuster “Watchmen” [...]

Mad Mario the Assassin, and PTG’s High Lord of Home Theater, joins me for both hours of Prime Time Geek this week, and though his Assassin’s Creed costume (pictured above) is certainly scary in its attention to detail, as you can plainly see, I lived to tell the tale. In all seriousness, it’s a GREAT [...]

Hour 2 of PTG Episode 10 kicks off with the funnier of the two clips from Chasing Amy set in the midst of a comic convention, but honestly, in my opinion its only funnier due to Jason Lee’s unique delivery of the f-bomb. Yeah, juvenile, I know–the f-bomb still cracks me up sometimes.
Well, though [...]

Both Hour 1 and Hour 2 of PTG Episode 10 kick off with clips from the classic (at least in my mind) Kevin Smith drama Chasing Amy, because in all honesty I couldn’t think of any other movies I’d seen that captured the hilarity often found at comic book conventions quite like Smith did in [...]
