My Area Of Expertise, Such As It Were

Matt Yglesias on the best and worst comic book movies of the decade. The top two are pretty indisputable, but I think Yglesias oversells Iron Man at the expense of The Dark Knight. The former is certainly as rewatchable as Yglesias claims; I think I’ve put on the DVD as background noise four or five [...]

Matt Yglesias:
Watchmen is hardly the first movie to try to employ web-based spinoffs as part of its marketing campaign, but it may be the first one to have actually done it well.
I don’t know whether Yglesias was paying any attention to it about two years ago, but I was following the viral marketing campaign for [...]

I have a huge soft spot for Spider-Man, but I’d be lying if I didn’t acknowledge the superiority of Christopher Nolan’s examination of Batman’s origins. For two years, I’ve hoped Nolan and his crew would somehow meet the expectations they created with their [...]

Well, maybe only one thing: That there are no pictures of Two-Face available anywhere online, even though hundreds of people have seen sneak previews of the film already and the film is two days from release and I remember hearing some photos leaked a month or two ago.

I Hate Comedy Central

I had avoided seeing what Two-Face was going to look like in The Dark Knight because it was something that I thought would be much more enjoyable to see only when and how Christopher Nolan & Co. wanted to present it on the big screen… Until exactly two minutes ago. When it was ruined for [...]
