With Great Power...Comes Great Irresponsibility - Chronicle Movie Trailer & Poster


The upcoming found footage film Chronicle moves beyond the usual staples of alien invasions and paranormal occurrences and into the Superhero genre - exploring what happens when 3 regular teen guys get super powers. Film opens February 3rd and appears to follow the "starts funny but takes a dark turn" formula - but looks really well done and could be an interesting counter-point to the new Amazing Spider-man opening later this July.

The 80's Best Dresses Heroes - Thundercats, He-Man and She-Ra Art by Fabian Ciraolo




Fabian Ciraolo's art is like flipping through the pages from some surreal Sears Catalog from an alternate cartoon universe...and it is awesome! See more Old School animated icons made-over @The Mary Sue

Mutant Children (and Lens Flare) Invade Music Videos!




I love it when trends come together. X-Men inspired super powered kids combine with the desaturated, sun glared and lens flared film style of the 70's/early 80's which received big screen homage in Super 8.
