I've been in a steady love-hate relationship with Rubik's Cube since 1980.

There are reasons that the six sided puzzle is my own personal Lament Configuration.

I suck at math, and always have.  I have a very short attention span when it comes to logic.

And at some point, apparently, my brother "solved" my cube my removing all of the stickers one-by-one and replacing them in the wrong positions.

That last demonic truth is something I only recently discovered.

Having reconnected with my original Rubik's Cube in a storage box untouched by anyone since 1994, I brought it into my office thinking it would be a cool little retro-remnant of my past, and a painful reminder that I've still never solved the damn thing.

New York City has been the location for some of the most monumental pop culture battles of all time as The King of Monsters, King Kong, Fantastic Four, Spidey, TMNT, and many more have made The Big Apple their personal stomping grounds.

Real Fake History breaks down the biggest and most famous battle to take place in New York - The Avengers: Battle of New York City. Through eyewitness accounts from some of the human survivors, The Avengers: Battle of New York City details true stories of loss and heroism as we learn what it was like to be in the city on that fateful day.

Additionally, we learn some sobering statistics including that the Hulk was responsible for 37 human deaths - including a guy named Brad - and only 11 shape-shifting Chitauri.

Narrated by Phil Morris (Seinfeld, Smallville, Green Lantern The Animated Series), each program delivers the never before seen tales of those who witnessed these defining fictional moments. A new episode will launch every Tuesday.

Star Trek stars past and present, including Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig, turned out at the Crest Theater in Los Angeles for the August 1 premiere of the fan-funded Star Trek: Renegades.

Nichols, who isn't in Renegades but was there to support the franchise, told Forces of Geek, “It's a pleasure being here.” She added she'd like to see another Star Trek series, “Because it's the best thing that ever was on TV.”

As for how often she sees Koenig (who didn't stop to do interviews), she smiled, “I see him all the time. I just turn the TV on or I call him.”

Interview conducted by Stefan Blitz

I was both a little excited and hesitant to interview Ross Katz, director of Adult Beginners.  Not only is he one of the most accomplished filmmakers working today, having established himself as an in-demand producer working on such projects as Marie Antoinette, Lost in Translation, The Laramie Project and In the Bedroom, but also he parlayed his success into writing, directing and producing the HBO film Taking Chance with star Kevin Bacon, which was nominated for a number of awards, with Katz winning a WGA, DGA, and a Humanitas Prize.

Adult Beginners is the first time that Katz has directed without having his hand in the project as a producer and the film follows narcissistic entrepreneur Jake (Nick Kroll), who crashes and burns on the eve of his company's big launch. With his entire life in total disarray, he leaves Manhattan to move in with his estranged pregnant sister, Justine (Rose Byrne), brother-in-law Danny (Bobby Cannavale) and 3-year-old nephew in the suburbs - only to become their nanny.

As for why I was hesitant to interview Ross?

We went to college together and I was a little nervous going into this before I had seen the film. What if I hated it?  Fortunately, I loved the film and heartily recommend it.

Ross took some time out of his schedule (he's currently in post production on his next film, The Choice, based on the book by Nicholas Sparks), to discuss Adult Beginners and filmmaking in general.

Review by by Elizabeth Robbins

Produced by Paul Kewley, Julie Lockhart

Written and Directed by Richard Starzak, Mark Burton

Story by Mark Burton

Based on Shaun the Sheep by Nick Park

Starring Justin Fletcher, John Sparkes,

Omid Djalili, Richard Webber, Kate Harbour,

Tim Hands, Andy Nyman, Simon Greenall

Being a fan of Aardman Animations (Wallace and Gromit series) I was looking forward to seeing the Shaun the Sheep feature.  

 

I went into the viewing hopeful, but reserved due to the fact that Aardman's past films Chicken Run and Flushed Away, both which were made in partnership with Dreamworks, didn't quite live up to Wallace and Gromit or the Shaun the Sheep television series.  

 

I also wasn't convinced that Shaun could handle a full length feature.  

 

Can you really entertain a theater full of sugared-up children with some clay puppets and no dialogue?

The answer is a resounding "yes".

Writers/Directors Mark Burton and Richard Starzak have made a charming family film that will entertain both children and adults alike.

Time travel isn’t a real thing, but if the conditions are right (and with enough beer) you can go back into your past and relive a time in your life when you weren’t as super bitter or jaded as you are now.

I know this sounds ridiculous but after spending a month back in my home state of Oregon, in the house I grew up in, surrounded by the people, places and things that have been permanently stored in that piece of my brain labeled “awesome”, I experienced what can only be called emotional time traveling (a phrase I should trademark immediately and begin running workshops oná la Tony Robbins).

To say, I came away from that experience bathed in the pop culture of my youth and over flowing with memories I thought were permanently lost to my over-indulgence of Zima in the 90s is putting it mildly, in fact, what I realized from my almost 30 days steeped in the delicious weirdness tea of Oregon is that even though I thought I had aged out of my over-all influence in the world when it came to all things mass media, I hadn't.

And, if it weren’t for people my age who were glued to their TVs, boomboxes and magazines during their formative years, then there would be no one to share the memories of things like this:

I wouldn’t call a lion a “monster,” but a case like the Milwaukee Mystery Lion here in my hometown can certainly be considered cryptozoological, since the lion is apparently still at large, roaming the streets of Milwaukee and no one knows where the animal originates from.

African lions aren’t indigenous to the Midwest, of course, and although mountain lions have been spotted in Wisconsin, it’s rare that one would get into the city.

The local zoos confirmed that their lion populations were all accounted for.

Here’s the timeline of sightings: on July 20, a woman reported seeing a lion roaming through her neighborhood on the Northside of Milwaukee. In true cryptozoology tradition, she manages to get a few seconds of blurry video footage with her cellphone of what indeed appears to be an African lion strolling along. Another sighting of the lion occurred the next morning, not far away. Police responded to the calls, and encourage the public to call them instead of trying to tackle the lion themselves.

As the days went on, more and more sightings rolled in and Milwaukee Lion Fever spread quickly throughout the city. Local news had a field day, and the story got picked up internationally, with the Milwaukee Lion being reported on Good Morning America and in the New York Times, among many other sources.


The lion was the talk of the town—people set up a Twitter page, photoshopped a lion next to various Milwaukee landmarks, the mayor cracked a lion joke, and so on.

So it’s come to this – I’ve spent one hundred dollars to wait in line for an hour to get Stan Lee’s autograph.

It’s Saturday, and I’m at the Boston Comic Con. My con-going agenda today is pretty light (I’m not all that interested in most of the featured guests, and the number of panels at the show is light compared to what’s available at, say, DragonCon) and I already did the thing where I wander aimlessly through the show floor looking at what the various vendors are selling.

Chatted with Evan Dorkin, whose work I’ve enjoyed for a long time, and bought a copy of his most recent Beasts of Burden book.

Now it’s decision time: go home, or get Stan Lee’s autograph?

I’m conflicted. I have kind of a cool item to get signed – a limited edition Stan Lee action figure that Hasbro sent me when I worked as a professional journalist and was on their mailing list.

Still, one hundred dollars is a lot of money, and I am not much of an autograph person.

And yet, at 92 year old, this could very likely be my last chance to meet the co-creator of so many of the comic book stories and characters that illuminated my childhood.

I’ve long held to the notion that sometimes in life it’s better to do the awesome thing than the responsible thing, so I head over to the ballroom where Stan is signing.

Two-Disc Release Also Includes Documentary I Knew It Was You: Rediscovering John Cazale

On September 21, the actual 40th anniversary of when it was released in theaters, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will celebrate director Sidney Lumet’s Dog Day Afternoon, the explosive drama starring Al Pacino, with a new 40th Anniversary edition Blu-ray ($24.98 SRP). This unique thriller, filled with sardonic comedy and based on a real-life incident, earned six Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture) and won an Oscar for Frank Pierson’s streetwise screenplay.

Pacino and Lumet (collaborators on Serpico) reteam for the drama which currently has a 97% Fresh Rotten Tomatoes Score. Pacino plays mastermind Sonny and John Cazale is his partner Sal -- two optimistic nobodies who set out to rob a bank, and unexpectedly create a media circus and a complete disaster.

Though I’m a bit more of an Aldous Huxley and Kurt Vonnegut gal when it comes to dystopian writing, there’s no doubt that Ray Bradbury contributed a distinct vision and voice to American literature.

While the formal literature media format proved to be an excellent vehicle for dystopian themes, the comic book and graphic novel format always seemed like a perfect medium to convey the fantasy and science fiction worlds created to reveal the foibles of our current society and the ones to come.

Thus, it is of no surprise that many of the world’s best storytellers and comic book and graphic novel writers and illustrators have found inspiration from Ray Bradbury’s work and that they would want to pay homage to this father of American dystopia and science fiction.

With Shadow Show, major writers and artists take their shot at creating their own short stories in the Bradbury tradition.

Appropriately, the collection opens up with a fictional letter from Bradbury himself. Here, he has not quite risen from the grave because he never really went to a grave in the first place.

In fact, he lives comfortably on Mars, where he reinforces his belief in the power of love and creation. With this welcoming from Mars into the Shadow Show collection, you are now ready to embark on a journey where the lines between reality and fantasy intersect in the nonchalant yet sudden Bradbury way.

While all of the stories certainly pay homage to Ray Bradbury in their uses of the supernatural to explain the mysteries of life, some succeed more than others in toasting the man of the hour.

On the day this column is published, we will be living our first day on the planet Earth after Jon Stewart finished his 16-year run on The Daily Show.

I’m going to presume that the world and its Internet are still standing.

A bold, perhaps foolhardy presumption to make, I know, but there it is.

For many, it may feel like this is the first time The Daily Show has existed without Stewart, but that’s if you don’t remember the show’s original, goofy, look-at-these-wackos incarnation with former SportsCenter anchor Craig Kilborn that aired from 1996-98.

The Daily Show began a year after Jon Stewart’s syndicated talk show, which I used to watch, was canceled. But The Daily Show became THE DAILY SHOW, revered institution of the sardonic liberal everywhere. When Stewart transformed from a thinking-man, Generation X, anti-bullshit ’90s comedian into a left wing America’s Crossfire-wrecking, civility-calling, most trusted newsman running a fake news show.

Because Stewart became a poster boy for a certain kind of pop-culture progressivism that often has felt very exclusively white to me, of people who want a world of racial equality without having to live side-by-side with people of color. Of a liberalism that is willing to cry out against economic exploitation and sexism without seeing much in the way of racial dimensions to those same issues.

Call it the racial bristle.

Something that gets the hackles up. Doesn’t necessarily mean that I dislike the person or their work (though sometimes it does), but a distance is created.

In pop culture, it’s when that person is held up as a universal good, even though their content is missing large segments of the population, and the experiences displayed are told as universal when they’re not.
