The Adventures of a Digital Sensei
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the year. If I am being honest I would rate it a close second only to Christmas in terms pure fun and excitement. It has been this way for me as long as I can remember. Halloween was a time for me to totally release my inner nerd/geek without fear of being looked at as strange. Every year I went dressed as one of my favorite comic book characters. I was having a hard time Continue reading “Superhero Halloween Mashup!”
Chilling with the whole Justice League at the 2016 NY Comic Con. #nycomiccon #theta360 – Spherical Image – RICOH THETA
This year I took my Ricoh Theta 360 camera to Comic Con in order to get something other than the traditional cosplay photos. I have to admit that this whole 360 immersive photo stuff is starting to grow on me.
This week I argue with the guys about why Captain America: Civil War was infinitely better than Batman vs Superman. We also discuss the latest Game of Thrones episode and breakdown Continue reading “NY Cine Radio Episode 205: Civil War”
As a lifelong comic book fan, and a kid born and raised in Harlem, I absolutely loved this trailer for Luke Cage series. The music from Nas almost made me scream. It was perfect! The series drops on Netflix in September. Fans got a brief taste of Cage in Continue reading “Luke Cage: King of the town”
Those that follow my blog should already know that I am a huge Batman fan and that I wasn’t happy at all with the choice of Ben Affleck to play him in the upcoming “Batman vs Superman” film. However the above preview makes me think that I might have been totally wrong at least as it pertains to Affleck. All I can say now is that I am totally gassed to see this movie.
And notice that I am now referring to him as Ben, and not Affleck or El Headmo. Still he has a really big head. Massive.
It is a Festivus miracle! Here is the New York Cine Radio Christmas Special that I spoke of in an earlier post when I was interviewed on TV! This week on the podcast the gang and I discuss the new “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” film and Continue reading “NY Cine Radio: The 2015 Christmas Special”
In an earlier post I mentioned that I was recently interviewed at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere by Mario Diaz of WPIX channel 11. The story that didn’t make the final segment edit is that this wasn’t the first time I had played hooky to see a Star Wars film. You see near the end of my senior year of high school my best friend Jeff and I hatched a plan to be the first people to see Return of the Jedi without having to brave the insane lines that were forming in Manhattan prior to the opening day. During that time the world had gone Star Wars crazy. People had been lining up nearly a week in advance of the premiere of Jedi to guarantee that they would be among the first to see the final episode of the original trilogy. However while Jeff and I were both hardcore Star Wars fans, we knew that neither one of our moms would let us miss that much school for a movie.
So Jeff and I came up with the brilliant plan to ditch only one day of school and Continue reading “Interviewed on WPIX!”
The 2015 New York Comic Con tickets have arrived! I could only get tickets for Thursday this year. I guess it is better than not getting tickets at all. Still, let me know if anyone has extras that they are willing to sell. I would rather not have to deal with scalpers. Because, to paraphrase the great Obi-Wan Kenobi, “never will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy”.
The team at Super Power Beat Down just posted the alternate ending to the epic Batman vs Darth Vader battle that premiered a few months back. The first version caused a fairly big stir on the internet due to the ending in which Batman literally gets murdered by Darth Vader. The outcome was decided by a fan vote, which of course set Batman and Star Wars fans at each others throats. In order to appease the outraged Bat Fans, which I count myself as a member, an alternate ending was shot.
In the alternate ending version Batman is victorious. However, I must Continue reading “Batman vs Vader: SPB Alternate Ending”
