I should be back from trick-or-tricking in time to catch the premiere of The Walking Dead on Halloween night. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m already scared. I do not like zombies nor the living dead of any kind. If I can get someone else to watch it and review it for us, I will. Here’s the ubercreepy trailer: Yeah, that’s too scary for me. I…
Coming on the heels of the stellar “Duets” episode two weeks ago, I didn’t hold much hope that the “The Rocky Horror Glee Show” would reach the same heights; after all, it’s a theme episode. Add to that the fact that it was written by Ryan Murphy, probably the most inconsistent of Glee‘s three writers, and it’s chances looked even worse.…
Every Halloween, my niece, my sisters and I have a tradition: we get together, we carve pumpkins and we watch this trilogy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Halloween episodes. (We’re a family of pure feminists.) If it’s been a while since you’ve seen the episodes, here’s a quick recap. Make them part of your own Halloween traditions! Season 2, Episode…
Would you like to follow me into my gracious drawing room? I watch a lot of horror films. Aside from fantasy or science fiction, it’s probably my favorite genre. Perhaps it’s a measure of how jaded I am, or perhaps it’s a measure of how many horror films I’ve seen, but I rarely get genuinely frightened by horror films, especially modern ones. As…
This week’s Quote of the Week was submitted by brand new site member SeraphWolfy. It’s a fitting beginning to our special Halloween Week at Fanboys of the Universe! SeraphWolfy’s submission comes from the recent Batman: Under the Red Hood animated movie. “I’ll need some guys…not these guys, because, well, they’re kind of…
Where’s Maxxie?! American remakes are sort of a guilty pleasure of mine. I even liked the American Spaced. But one thing I don’t like is American teenagers. They’re obnoxious. And they walk really slowly through crosswalks, playing Angry Birds and sexting. I ran over three this week alone. But I do like British teens, because they fight evil wizards and…
I’ve been arguing for years that Star Wars geeks and Star Trek geeks couldn’t possibly share a common ancestor. If the data on this chart is to be believed, I may have to finally accept that we are, in fact, evolutionary brothers of some sort. However, I still don’t believe this should be taught in schools.

A mere 29 days separates us from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One. I’ll be seeing it the same time as all of you, since I was banned from all future Warner Bros. screenings after the unfortunate “Sam Worthington incident” at the Clash of the Titans premiere. So be it! I will go to a midnight showing on Thursday night/Friday morning,…
A bromance with a sci-fi twist, Paul tells the story of two British comic book fans traveling across the US who encounter an alien outside Area 51. In addition to Messrs. Pegg and Frost, the cast includes Kristen Wiig, Jason Bateman, Bill Hader, Jane Lynch, Sigourney Weaver and Seth Rogen. I trust Pegg and Frost to represent comic book fans with a certain amount of respect.…
Brian‘s Load Brightest Day #11 It’s balls-to-the-wall all-out Aquaman action, as the mighty underwater mogul battles against his arch nemesis Black Manta and Mera’s evil sister! I love seeing old Blondie back in action, fighting on land, no less, and kicking some evil dude ass! Plus, it’s the return of all the formerly dead (but now alive) Black Lanterns!…
Greetings, fellow TV fans! You may have noticed there was no Gleecap this week. That’s because our very own Glee correspondent Adam was up to his beautiful blue eyeballs organizing the ImageOut LGBT Film Festival. Congratulations, Adam! And you really didn’t miss much on Glee. I think Kurt cried some more. Now, here are a few thoughts on the rest of your favorite…
Oh. My. Gods. This looks super cool. Considering I haven’t even made it to The Burning Crusade yet, I probably won’t reach Cataclysm for another 10-15 years. Of course, I could just stay home and play WoW between now and the December 7 release date. Also an option. Thanks to September FBOTM Hadrian for the link.
