Movie Review: The Cabin in the Woods
Hey guys, the cellar door just flew open loudly. Let’s check it out!
by Aliki Taylor, Reviewer
Sure, we all love Joss Whedon and we’re already salivating over his upcoming blockbuster The Avengers, but Dollhouse has been off the air for a while, so what’s he been doing? It turns out he spoiled us years ago.
At the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con, Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse) announced on stage that he and Drew Goddard (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Cloverfield) were co-writing something, describing, “It is a film called Cabin in the Woods, and it is the horror film to end all horror films. Literally. And more about that, I will not say.” Nearly five years later, we now know what he meant.
(Spoiler-free review ahead!)
Movie Review: Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope
“When a woman tells you to grow up, that’s God’s way of telling you to get a new woman… There’s three billion women on the planet, and not a lot of great comics, so it’s an easy choice.” -Chuck Rosanski, Mile High Comics
by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief
San Diego Comic-Con is the cultural Mecca of geeks everywhere, the one place where we can all gather together and gaze across the vast landscape of all our varied fandom obsessions from superheroes to sci-fi to fantasy to horror to anime to video games and every related subject–Where we can not only hang out with each other but we can meet the creators and stars of all our favorite stuff–where ‘Trek and ‘Wars nerds can take up their sabers and phasers, not to battle each other but to pose with the next generation of geeks or to drink with the real Green Lantern or Duke Nukem and listen together to bands play songs about Aquaman or Laurence Fishburne and then look over and say to each other in the words of Joss Whedon: “Are we not dope?”
NYCC2011: Regular Show Press Roundtable coverage
ComicsOnline had the opportunity to sit down with J.G Quintel (Creator, Mordecai), William Salyers (Rigby) and Sam Milton (Benson, Pops, Muscle Man) of The Regular Show. While nothing was revealed for upcoming episodes, it was more so an inside look at censorship and the creation process.
NYCC2011: Venture Bros Panel and Press Conference Coverage
“We have Nothing for you. So much Nothing, especially for you.” ~Venture Bros Creators to us. And that is exactly what most of the panel was. Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick, the creators of Venture Bros, were highly unprepared, except for the questions that were submitted to them. This doesn’t mean it was a “bad” panel, it was entertaining, and despite there being several off-topic derailings by the two, there was also some information given about the actual show.
NYCC2011: Venture Bros – Doc Hammer’s Most Hated Words/Phrases
Over at NYCC Venture Bros Panel, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick had so much Nothing to announce. So much, just for us. While we were being entertained by Doc’s stories and the comedy workings of these two, they were derailed when discussing how Doc hates certain words. He even had a list of them, and was kind enough to read it to us! So, boys and girls, don’t forget to try and use these when you’re talking to him:
· Ridonkculous
· Hot mess
· Literally when it’s not used appropriately
· Totes (as in totally)
· IMO and IMHO
NYCC2011: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Preview Panel
Get ready to conquer a new kingdom, because Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is coming out to hit your consoles in the face with fantastical awesomeness. Of course, by fantasical awesomeness, I mean logic and sense-making. For a lot of fantasy fans, this is a wet-dream come true.
The game is a single-player RPG, centering around the Well of Souls: a sort of resurrection machine. Up until the creation of the Well of Souls, resurrecting the dead was not possible, and its sudden appearance affects the world greatly (the NPCs are drastically affected, shown by their in-game dialogue). The player is the first life form resurrected by the Well of Souls, and is left to explore the world they left behind through new eyes. The player’s actions affect gameplay, the environment, and future quests.

Fables? What do you mean you wish we had gone with Willingham?

NYCC2011: Thursday Recap
New York Comic Con, currently being considered The East Coast’s answer to San Diego Comic-Con opened its doors late Thursday afternoon to the general public. For the first time ever, the con has expanded by a whole day, allowing people with 4-day , VIP, Press, or Professional badges, a special 3 hour look into the massive Exibit Hall (very much like how SDCC does their yearly Wedensday “Preview Nights”), with a wide range of exibitors… All the big heavy hitters were here in full force: DC, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, FUNimation, Activision, Marvel, and many, many others, although something felt different about the hall.
