The Avengers (2012)seen @ UA Kaufman Studios Cinema 14, Long Island City, Queens, NY5.4.12The truth is, I don't ever recall being ostracized for reading comic books as a kid. I remember certain friends I shared them with, though those weren't many. My parents were never opposed to them; in fact, my father used to drive me to the comic shop on Saturdays at one point. I never felt protective of my level of fandom as a child. I never had to justify it in any way, and I suppose in that I was lucky.At some po... read more »

That was at least my interpretation of what I assume was the hidden message behind the text. I suppose I can agree with them, at least partially. Many of what could be beautiful settings around cav... read more »

The Hunger Gamesseen @ Center Cinema 6, Sunnyside, Queens, NY3.27.12Recently, I wrote about a blind spot I tend to have for certain fanboy movies, and I tried to be as honest as possible with myself about the possible reasons why. Looking back on it now, I feel fairly confident that the conclusions I came to are the right ones, based on my experience and my biases. One thing that subsequently occurred to me came as I wrote to my pal Bibi about this: in recent years, I've been cutting myself off from more... read more »
