  • “Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore are pleased to jointly announce that they have reached an amicable agreement in their respective lawsuits and all parties have settled the entire matter to everyone’s mutual satisfaction.

EW Presents a Walking Dead Sneak Peak

Posted on by

Although we’re still over a month and a half away from the return of AMC’s The Walking Dead, this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly is going to give us a sneak peak at what to expect from the coming season.

From the looks of the four covers, this is going to be an issue and a season not to miss!

And a tip o’ Daryl Dixion’s crossbow arrow to CBR.com for the post.


Moore Takes Kirkman to Federal Court

Posted on by

On February 9, 2012, we posted that Tony Moore, the original artist of the hit comic book series The Walking Dead had sued long-time [former?] friend, Robert Kirkman. Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead, claiming that he [Moore} was in truth the co-creator of the series.

A few days later Kirkman’s response was in the news.

At the time I had hope that Moore and Kirkman would be able to come to a mutually satisfactory solution soon.  Unfortunately, that wasn’t to be.  CBR.com has posted the complaint that Moore has now filed in federal court to be named co-author of The Walking Dead; Brit and Battle Pope.

I hate the reality of this situation.

The Future of The Walking Dead

Posted on by

The fine folks at Shock Till You Drop recently caught up with Robert Kirkman and executive producer David Alpert to find out what we should expect in the new season of The Walking Dead.  Here’s a tidbit:

“The biggest thing I have to say is that, as the storytelling picked up at the end of season two, and the speed of events happening — well, we’re increasing it. Season three is going to be non-stop, in your face, intense. This is the point in the show that I’ve been excited about giving the audience since season one.”

Kurt Sutter Talks SONS OF ANARCHY

Posted on by

If you’re a fan of the Sons of Anarchy, then you’ll probably like the TVGuide.com interview with series creator, Kurt Sutter.  Sutter gives us a hint at season five (and even more in the interview)…

  • Jax has the immediate threat of retaliation from Damon Pope (guest star Harold Perrineau), whose daughter was accidentally killed by Tig (Kim Coates) last season. Soon enough, both Jax and Pope will land in bed with Neron “Nero” Padilla (Jimmy Smits), a Latino gangster who becomes a dangerous mentor for Jax. But ultimately, creator Kurt Sutter tells TVGuide.com that Season 5 will be the year that Jax stops taking advice and begins making his own tough decisions.

6 Classic Twilight Zone Episodes for the 4th!

Posted on by

There’s a Twilight Zone marathon going on over at the Syfy channel.  There are a lot worse ways to spend a lazy 4th of July than watching Rod Serling’s presentations of some of the best sci-fi and horror ever shown on television.

However, if you only have a few of hours to spare, then I’d suggest you tune in (or set your dvr) from 7:30 to 10:30 tonight.  Here’s what you”ll get:

7:30  “The Howling Man” – David Ellington while hiking in Europe after WWII stumbles across a remote abbey when a violent storm kicks up.  Reluctantly given refuge for the night by the monks, Ellington hears howling and discovers a man being held prisoner by the monks.  Before he can set the man free, Ellington is told the true nature of the prisoner.  Ellington is left with a decision that may haunt him for the rest of his life…

8:00  “Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?” – On a dark, snowy night, two deputies respond to a call about a crashed spaceship.  Tracks lead to a remote dinner where seven bus passengers and the diner’s owner are waiting out the storm.  The funny thing is there were only supposed to be six passengers on the bus and strange things are starting to happen at the dinner.  Coincidence or is there an alien among them?

8:30  “The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street” – It’s just getting dark when a strange sound and flashing lights in the sky bring neighbors out of their houses.  A child suggests it’s aliens from a flying saucer.  The adults laugh it off until strange things begin to happen and their paranoia increases.  Soon they are looking at each other — could aliens already be here?

9:00 “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” – A man, with a fear of flying and recently recovered from a nervous breakdown, is having a hard time making it through a stormy, late night flight.  Then he sees a  monster on the wing trying to damage the plane’s engine…

9:30 “Time Enough At Last” – When a meek book lover finds himself the sole survivor of a nuclear holocaust, he takes joy in that he will at last have time enough to read… or will he?

10:00 “To Serve Man” – Aliens come to earth promising peace and shared technology. They seem to be making good on their promise to turn earth into a paradise, yet some doubts linger…

Andy Griffith – R.I.P.

Posted on by

Andy Griffith passed away this morning at the age of 86.

Most of us know Mr. Griffith from his role as Andy Taylor, the sheriff of the fictional town of Mayberry.  The classic series was of course, “The Andy Griffith Show,” one of only three shows [along with “I Love Lucy” and “Seinfeld”]  to ever end their run while on top.

I can’t tell you how many I hours I spent watching “The Andy Griffith Show” … my guess is that you can’t either.  (Well, if you can, tell me, how many hours did I spend watching it?)

What was always refreshing to hear was that Andy Griffith was just as nice in real life as he was on tv.  Mark Evanier wrote a great tribute which confirmed that Andy Griffith was just as caring and smart and nice as Andy Taylor.  Seems fitting, doesn’t it?

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Andy Griffith’s family, friends and fans.
