Here comes another news flash from the lovable juggernaut of entertainment that is Marvel. With their cinematic films series blowing away both critics and audiences and making records fall at the box office, they continue to make waves in the TV world. With Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. about to kick off season 2, they've announced two additions to another one of their (upcoming) shows, Marvel's Agent Carter. Set to star the delicious...

Hey, hey, hey Dacetacular Nation! Chris "The Dace Man" Dace here dropping a new cinematic trailer on your behinds! I know I've been away for a while when it comes to writing posts; lucky for you, I've been all over the video and audio mediums! [jay kay guys.] Anywho, remember a year ago when I reported on Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show for a few months to let John Oliver take over? You don't? Well, It's totally cool. Jon did go and...

What is up, Dacetacular nation? As if I didn't have enough shows and segments as is, I went and developed another one. The D-List is a weekly Top 10 countdown with me, The Dace Man, and I'll run down my top 10 picks! Join me in the fifth episode as I give you my Top 10 Trilogies! I will sound off on the iconic film franchises that that have molded generation after generation. These are the trilogies that made me into the man—er—nerd...

For anyone who has ever been to Six Flags out in Southern California, you may have ridden the Batman or Superman ride there. They are both pretty fun. Supes' ride is a bit short, but it's a nice kick in the gut. The older Batman one is a strange combination of swing and roller coaster. You float suspended and dash through a mist; I guess it's meant to be like the Batcave? Regardless, Six Flags has announced they are building two new rides,...

We here at Fanboys Anonymous are lucky enough to get advanced copies sent our way when anything new comes out from certain publishers, Titan Publishing included. So thanks, Titan, for the copy of the darkly Gothic graphic novel, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (FHA). The images and artwork are top notch, but the story could use some work. That's a mini-review for the whole thing that encapsulates my response to it. We begin our story...

You know those days when a lot of news and cool spoilers and stuff leak? Well Dacitonians, today is said day! Recently leaked online were a few photos of Dr. Doom from the reboot of Fantastic Four. Now I personally have nothing but contempt for this reboot because it will be FOX's half-assed excuse to keep the rights to the franchise and stick it to Disney and Marvel. Nevertheless, being a man of nerdy proportions, I still have my interest...

Ready for some football?! No, wait. That's not right. Ready for some new, exciting Avengers: Age of Ultron pics?!? Oh yeah, we've got 'em right here. In addition to the images, we've got some commentary from yours truly, the resident comic book movie nerd here at Fanboys Anonymous. I'm making it my mission to provide the most comprehensive information out there on comic book films. With Marvel dominating much in sight, we get some exciting...

Cyclops #4 Cover by Alexander Lozano Who doesn't love a father/son camping trip? A little male bonding under the stars can do wonders to mend the relationship and learn new things about each other—even if the stars are galaxies away from Earth and space creatures see you as a fine meal in waiting. Does it make for a good story, though?  The verdict isn't clear on this. Cyclops #4 seems to be a transitional issue. It...

Some exciting news for fans of the psychological thriller Shutter Island, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leo DiCaprio. The creepy, atmospheric mind trip is getting switched over into TV series mode and looks like it might be promising. Scorsese is set to direct at least some of the episodes (wow!), and the author of the novel upon which the movie was based, Dennis Lehane, is penning the pilot's script. The film, a twist on the...

Suck it! Suck it! Suck it! After a whole week of defeats facing Sapphiron and Kel'Thuzad, I finally made it! Huge, huge thanks to Amaz and his mage deck for defeating Sapphiron as well as Vernitrax's budget priest deck posted on Hearthpwn.com. Let's start from the beginning, however. In hopes of keeping up to par with the Hearthstone release, I purchased the Frostwyrm Lair with my credit card to avoid having to play endless hours for...

Want to know what happened the past few days in nerd culture? WEEK IN GEEK is your quick fix to catch up with the rest of the fanboys out there. MOVIES Sin City: A Dame to Kill For Tanks at the Box Office. My take: It was a sequel nobody really asked for and makes me really question why Guillermo del Toro can't get the $150 million budget approved to make Hellboy 3. Star Wars Expanded Universe Also Rebooted? My take:...

Yet another celebrity has fallen. Actor/director Richard Attenborough has died at age 90. He started out as an actor for many years, even decades, throughout the '40s and '50s before directing his first feature film, The Angry Silence, in 1960. Attenborough then went on to direct several more pictures and act in many films before winning an Oscar for directing the Ben Kingsley starring biopic Gandhi in 1982. He also directed Robert Downey...

As a big Marvel fan, it is gratifying to see the company doing so well, especially since it has not always been this way. Around the end of the 20th century, Marvel was a hair's breadth away from bankruptcy and things were looking so grim they were selling off office furniture at their headquarters. That's not a joke, but a true story. Now they rule the roost. Adjusting for inflation, films based on DC comics have made just shy of $9...

In yet more exciting news for Marvel's Cinematic Universe, the studio may have at last got the actor they want for the titular role in the upcoming Doctor Strange. As ThisIsInfamous has reported, the mass murderer-playing-psychopath on Boardwalk Empire, Jack Huston, is now the frontrunner to play the Sorcerer Supreme. Huston certainly has the look down and this is a better choice to play the character than the names that have been bandied...

As the 18th season of the long-running animated comedy show South Park nears, let us look back a few years and examine what happened when the legendary show hit their epic 200th episode, appropriately titled "200", and its direct sequel, "201". The controversy has had lasting ramifications on the show and been a contributing factor to the current downswing in quality. When Comedy Central bleeped and censored the episodes, they crimped Matt...

Ever since the series finale of How I Met Your Mother, I have been trying to find a show that can replace something I have been watching on a regular basis for six to seven years. Since the summer is usually filled with reality shows and contests like America's Got Talent and So You Think You Can Dance, I decided I would wait until the big companies would announce their fall lineups to see if there would be any new, interesting shows that...

I recently beat Bravely Default, after taking some time off for reasons I'll explain below. As more tidbits of the sequel come out, I wanted to reflect on the first game in a 3 category format. The wonderful features, those that are tentatively good or bad, and the downright frustrating ones. For those of you who haven't played it, Bravely Default is pretty much Final Fantasy with some minor changes. The story revolves around a religion...

Everywhere around the world, Whovians held their breaths and tuned in to the series premiere of Doctor Who, debuting the new regeneration of the Doctor played by Peter Capaldi. Twitter quickly exploded with Doctor Who trending worldwide, and for good reason. Spoilers below. First, "Don't blink." Now, "Don't breathe." In the words of Madame Vastra, "Well then, here we go again…" It is inevitable that a season premiere of Doctor Who...

Greetings, Fanboys and Fangirls! This is Sam Lascio, discussing something that I'm sure must be on most sweaty nerds' minds lately: How does Superman get a new suit in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice? Give or take the shape of the "S," the style of the shield, or the precise shade of blue and red in his costume, fewer costumes are as iconic as Superman's. When you see that costume, whether you're from...
