Get Mad This Weekend!

After literally months of recommendations, I broke down and purchased the first season of Mad Men over the weekend.

While I’m only 3 episodes into the season, I can say the series has sunk it’s hooks into me, with it’s stylish 60′s look, powerful cinematography, and hypnotic writing.  Apparently AMC thinks it’ll only take one episode to get you hooked, and honestly, I’d agree.

So, thanks to those fine folks over at American Movie Classics, for totally free, here is the pilot episode of Mad Men.

If you dig it, the First Season is on store shelves now in DVD and Blu Ray formats, and Season 2 hits the airwaves on July 27th.

Fincher+Powell=CG Goon Movie!

I know a certain someone who’s head is about to explode…

In one of the more surprising comic book movie announcements, the Dark Horse title The Goon, written/drawn/created by the wildly talented Eric Powell, will be hitting the screen in a CG animated film to be helmed by Fight Club’s David Fincher.

You read that right. The man who brought wild tales involving such characters as zombie priests, canniabal hobos, and pie loving skunk apes, will be teaming up with the man behind Panic Room and the adventures of Tyler Durden.  This was announced last night on Powell’s official website, with word following from the Hollywood Reporter, pretty much assuring it’s good to go.

Film goers, get ready for the wacky.
