Category : geekArticle!

“So why is it that fully aged and allegedly mature grown-ups are so dang uncomfortable with the sight of a penis? I never hear anyone chuckling when a vagina makes its way on to the silver screen.

[Moviegoers and Their Pavlovian Response to Penis, by Scott Weinberg, Cinematical]

Scott Weinberg raises an interesting question in one of his most recent articles.  This topic is spurred by the character Dr. Manhattan in the movie  Watchmen.  In the story, Dr. Manhattan is a god-like character who has “next to no need whatsoever for human-style clothing, shame, or insecurity” therefore appears totally nude throughout the film.  Click the above link to jump into the discussion!

geekArticle! Shedding some light on Deadpool

When I heard that Ryan Reynolds was going to play Deadpool in the new X-Men Origins: Woverine movie, I shouted out many a “WTF?”

Don’t get me wrong, I’m somewhat of a Ryan Reynolds fan.  In fact, I think he needs to be in more, better movies.  Then I heard he was playing Deadpool in the new X-Men flick and that one of the weirdest casting choices for a comic book character I’d ever heard of.  (OK…Ben Affleck was Daredevil….not as weird as that).

Anyway, Robert Fure from Film School Rejects wrote a pretty cool piece on Deadpool.  Figured I’d share…X-Men Origins Wolverine: Solving the Deadpool Mystery
