Watchmensch is a parody of Watchmen (duh) where the protagonists aren’t heroes, they’re Jewish lawyers determined to wrest control from comic book creators. It’s the one adaptation Alan Moore would actually approve of. Not because Moore is an anti-Semite, but because he has a long-standing feud with DC comics over just this issue. Don’t worry if you didn’t major in comic book history, just like in the Watchmen comic book

Amazing Spider-Man #592 ended with what’s gotta be the most disturbing cliffhanger ever: Peter Parker walking in on Aunt May having sex with J. Jonah Jameson (spider sense, what spider sense?). No not that J. Jonah Jameson. Although that would be pretty sensational as my photoshopping shows. It was actually J.J.’s father J. Jonah Jameson Sr., but Peter will probably get over it pretty quickly as Jameson Sr. is the

It sounds like a bad Yakov Smirnoff joke: “In Russia, army blows itself up!” But that’s exactly what they’re doing. For years now the Russian army has been using inflatable jets, tanks, and trucks as decoys (video below). Not only are these dummies indistinguishable from the real thing at a distance, “They can reproduce a radar band, a thermal and near infra-red band similar to those produced by night vision

Parents are crying foul over an iPhone app called Baby Shaker. The aptly named game challenges (ab)users to “See how long you can endure his or her adorable cries before you just have to find a way to quiet the baby down!” And the only way to silence these little angels (god willing) is to vigorously shake them until adorable red Xs cover their eyes… ‘awww who’s a dead baby,

A new study out of Britain claims alcohol consumption does not impair men’s  abilty to judge attractiveness or age. Researcher Dr. Vincent “Buzzkill” Egan of the University of Leicester goes on to say, “Our findings seem to fly in the face of the commonly-held ‘beer goggles’ notion. If people regret liaisons next day, it’s not because they thought their lover looked like Elle Macpherson and wake up to realise the

When I first heard Josh Weinstein & Bill Oakley, the creators of Mission Hill, were teaming up again to do Sit Down, Shut Up I thought it would be a similarly off-beat comedy (i.e., good). But after watching last night’s pilot episode, I felt like Obi-Wan at the end of Star Wars: Episode III when he yells “You were the chosen one!” A little research revealed that Oakley actually quit

Star Trek: Countdown is the official prequel comic to the Star Trek reboot, but is it really required reading? The 4-issue miniseries takes place during the Next Generation era and tells the origin of the retcon monster Nero. Nero is a Romulan miner who forges an uneasy alliance with Ambassador Spock when they both come to the same conclusion: the destruction of Romulus is imminent. A supernova in the nearby

The TARDIS has traversed space & time, its even traveled to alternate realities but its final destination is a bit farther. 17-year-old Ben Rayner was a big Doctor Who fan so when he died last month from cerebral palsy his family decided to send him off in style with his very own TARDIS! They decorated Ben’s coffin to look like a police box and requested mourners not wear black to

Last year when Dalek Caan prophesied that the Doctor’s “most faithful” companion would die, I guessed it was the TARDIS (linkage) and was apparently right! (it happens occasionally) Rumor has it that season 5 will include nothing from the Russell T. Davies era, and that there will be a new larger TARDIS set. David Tennant admitted to crying when he read the final script, which suggests another death (other than

As David Tennant’s tenure as the Doctor winds down, clues to his demise are pouring in. Back on the “Planet of the Ood” the Doctor received an ominous warning that his name would be remembered by “the Wind, the Ice and the Snow” but that his song would soon end. It’s no coincidence that the final episodes revolve around these same elements: “Planet of the Dead” – a storm of

If you didn’t see the season finale of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, you weren’t the only one. Even with a special preview of Terminator Salvation, the only show it managed to beat out in the ratings was a repeat of Everybody Hates Chris. Tvbythenumbers.com is predicting no season 3 (linkage), but if The Sarah Connor Chronicles has taught us anything it’s that the future can be changed… well that

Sorry to say, tanning your backside at the beach won’t help you lose weight (unless you count complications from cancer). Brown fat, also known as baby fat, acts more like muscle than fat. It helps babies regulate their body temperature by burning calories. It had been thought that brown fat was present only in infants, but a study of 2,000 patients at the Joslin Diabetes Center found 7.5% of women and

When Dana Hoekstra adopted her son she quickly realized he wasn’t like other boys. Liam was doing pull-ups before his first birthday thanks to a myostatin deficiency that’s given him 40% more muscle mass than you typical toddler (wish I had that kind of deficiency, all I got is the ADD). Liam’s Kryptonite is his metabolism. He’s got an appetite like Michael Phelps explains his mother, “He’s hungry for a

Barack Obama’s apology tour, also known the G-20 Summit, reached a crescendo last week when President bowed down to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. This kowtowing not only goes in the face of 200 years of Presidential protocols, it stands in stark contrast to Obama’s head bob to the Queen of England. A White House aide defended the Muslim-in-Chief arguing, “It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two

Never afraid to break the 4th wall (among other things), the Merc WITH a Mouth used the cover of Deadpool #9 to poke fun at his movie counterpart, who [spoiler alert] is decapitated at the end X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And judging by that squint he’s giving, he’s not a fan. Can you blame him? It’s bad enough they sewed up his mouth, but then they turn him into Mimic!? Honestly,
