	<title>One Comic, One Sketch by Rob Croonenborghs</title>
	<link>http://www.brokenfrontier.com/blogs/p/detail/one-comic-one-sketch-by-rob-croonenborghs</link>
	<description>
		<![CDATA[
			<p>While I truly believe that the pen is mightier than the sword, my brother Rob swears by the brush; the mighty trust of an ink-riddled Newton, one fell swoop creating worlds and strange new galaxies.</p>
<p>Rob is currently doing quick sketches based on the comics he's been reading and there are some real beauties in there -- if I say so myself . The characters he's handling range across the comics spectrum from 2000 AD's <em>Judge Dredd</em> to Vertigo's <em>Young Liars</em>, from Marvel's Spider-Man to Euro comics <em>Blotch</em>.</p>

Lost treasures and new crime books alike, they all resurface at the hardboiled lake that is Hard Case Crime. Why am I going on and on about this on a comics blog? Because HCC comes highly recommended by not only me - who am I? My name is nobody - but also by excellent crime writers in comics like Ed Brubaker.</p>
<p><em>Hard Case Crime brings you the best in hardboiled crime fiction, ranging from lost noir masterpieces to new novels by today&#8217;s most powerful writers, featuring stunning original cover art in the grand pulp style. </em></p>
<p>And to come back to my very first sentence, HCC founder Charles Ardai has an excellent post about the cycling nature of the popularity of genres at Tor.com and we at comics know all about the Great Big Cycle Mill of Comics, right?</p>

	<title>Monday Movies: Rollerball (1975)</title>
	<link>http://www.brokenfrontier.com/blogs/p/detail/monday-movies-rollerball-1975</link>
	<description>
		<![CDATA[
			<p>Released in my birth year, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073631/" target="_blank"><em>Rollerball</em></a> is Norman Jewison's tour de force. It's a harsh look into the world of a man who only does what he does best and derives his complete sense of identity from it. In this case, it is James Caan as Rollerball player Jonathan. His puppy eyed look is perfect for this tormented character while his rugged and worn features carry the weight of the world. All this in a futuristic corporate setting accompanied by a veritable who's who of classical composers.</p>
<p>The movie tends to divide audiences because of its almost complete lack of story, focusing solely on Jonathan's inner troubles. But it is one of my favourite movies of all time.

			<p>Russ Meyer, lover of amazon women everywhere is famous for his movies featuring big breasted and strong (read: beating up males every chance they get) women. Just google him, it should keep you occupied for a few hours. One of his best though its Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! of which I found this most excellent french graphic poster.</p>

<p>He has posted a fascinating look at his cover design detailing the process he goes through while making the <em>Marvel Adventures Super Heroes #20</em> cover featuring the Vision.

	<title>2000 AD Nikolai Dante Cover Extravaganza</title>

	<description>
		<![CDATA[
			<p>Lovable rogue and ex-revolutionary Nikolai Dante is the bastard offspring of the house of Romanov and a pirate queen. He is one of <a href="http://www.2000adonline.com/" target="_blank">2000 AD</a>'s best loved characters on a par with ol' steeljaw Judge Dredd. From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Dante" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>:</p>
<p><em><strong>Nikolai Dante</strong> - thief, ladies' man and illegitimate son of Dmitri Romanov. Dante's mother is Katarina Dante, a feared pirate. Abandoned at a young age, Dante was forced to survive by turning to crime. Inadvertently bonded with the weapons crest intended for Arkady Romanov. The crest allows Dante to generate bio-blades as well as providing him with limited regenerative abilities. The crest is also programmed to educate Dante on the correct manners of a nobleman.</em></p>
<p>Over at the 2000 AD Covers blog, there's a magnificent post featuring all of co-creator <a href="http://www.simonfraser.net/" target="_blank">Simon Fraser</a>'s covers (the other creator is writer Robbie Morrison). Here's a small sneak peak (click on the image to enlarge) and check out the rest <a href="http://2000adcovers.blogspot.com/2009/09/nikolai-dante-bastard-son-of-cruel.html" target="_blank">right here</a></p>

	<title>Runaways: The Movie?</title>
	<link>http://www.brokenfrontier.com/blogs/p/detail/runaways-the-movie</link>
	<description>
		<![CDATA[
			<p><img height="228" src="http://www.brokenfrontier.com/userfiles/images/blogs/2010/02_feb/runaways_alliegrant.jpg" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 3px 10px; float: left;" width="150" /><img height="228" src="http://www.brokenfrontier.com/userfiles/images/blogs/2010/02_feb/runaways_covert.jpg" style="border: 0; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; float: right;" width="150" />Last week, <a href="http://allthingsfangirl.blogspot.com/2010/02/weeds-allie-grant-cast-in-marvels.html">All Things Fangirl</a> reported that <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439100/">Weeds</a> actress <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1872782/">Allie Grant</a> had been cast to star in a feature film adaptation of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_K._Vaughan">Brian K. Vaughan's</a> <em><a href="http://marvel.com/universe/Runaways">Runaways</a></em>.&#160; As is often the case in casting rumors surrounding comic book films, red flags went up everywhere.&#160; It was originally thought that this had stemmed from a simple mistake in Miss Grant's bio and that she had in fact been cast in the <em>Runaways </em>film based on Joan Jett's early grrl-rock band.&#160; Further snooping revealed that Grant is in no way tied to the biopic and that the <em>Runaways </em>movie she's been cast in is produced by <a href="http://marvel.com/">Marvel Studios</a>.&#160; This is very exciting news for yours truly, as I'm a big fan of <em>Runaways</em>.</p>
<p>If you're not familiar with the title, here's a rundown: Runaways follows a group of superpowered teenagers as they rebel against their parents, an evil cabal of supervillains known as The Pride.&#160; BKV created in <em>Runaways </em>his own compelling little corner of the Marvel Universe and made one of the most entertaining all-ages titles to hit comic shelves, well...ever.</p>
<p>Considering Brian K. Vaughan's involvement in other films based on his properties, it stands to reason he'd play a very big role in the production of this film as well.&#160; Who knows, maybe he'll even bring in his friend and fellow <em>Runaways </em>writer <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0923736/">Joss Whedon</a> for a little consultation.</p>
<p>What do you guys think?&#160; If the rumors are true, are you excited about a <em>Runaways</em> movie?&#160; Is this the first attempt by the new Disney/Marvel hybrid to appeal to that tweener audience <a href="http://disney.go.com/index">Disney</a> covets so highly?</p><p><a href="http://www.brokenfrontier.com/blogs/p/detail/runaways-the-movie" title="Runaways: The Movie?">Runaways: The Movie?</a> written by  Brett  Williams in: <a href="http://www.brokenfrontier.com/blogs/p/category/movies" title="Movies">Movies</a></p>

			<p>Fan films have evolved enormously from its early days thanks to the neverending march of the Boots of Technology, stamping on the availability of technology to the elite. The masses now have access to all software and rendering engines conceivable and by Grudd, they will use it!</p>
<p>Case in point this amazing undertaking chronicling John Wagner and<a href="http://mickmcmahon.onlinefolio.biz" target="_blank"> Mike McMahon</a>'s Judge Minty character from <a href="http://www.2000adonline.com/" target="_blank">2000 AD</a>'s <em>Judge Dredd</em> universe.</p>
<p><em>An aging Judge who is forced to 'retire' from the streets, mainly it seems because he has become too compassionate. He chooses to take 'The Long Walk' into the Cursed Earth, there "to take law to the lawless". The film will be based around his first experiences in the radioactive wastes.</em></p>

	<title>Monday Movies: Evil Dead II (1987)</title>

		<![CDATA[
			<p>Uncovering more and more obscure poster work, I came across this post on <a href="http://assemblyman-eph.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Assemblyman blog</a> that featured movie posters from Ghana:</p>
<p><em>In the 1980s video cassette technology made it possible for &#8220;mobile cinema&#8221; operators in Ghana to travel from town to town and village to village creating temporary cinemas. The touring film group would create a theatre by hooking up a TV and VCR onto a portable generator and playing the films for the people to see.<br /><br />In order to promote these showings, artists were hired to paint large posters of the films (usually on used canvas flour sacks).</em></p>
<p>For more info and posters (like <em>Terminator</em>, <em>Children of the Corn</em> etc) click <a href="http://assemblyman-eph.blogspot.com/2009/08/film-poster-paintings-from-ghana.html" target="_blank">right here</a></p>

		<![CDATA[
			<p>Rob Zombie just can't let it go! After writing comics, he's back with an animated adult feature entitled <em>El Superbeasto</em>!<br /><br /><em>A massive, over-the-hill masked wrestler, El Superbeasto has more interest in exotic dancers than adventure. Despite his disinterest, however, he still manages to get involved with murderous super-intelligent gorillas, Liverpudlian zombies and Dr.Satan - a manic-depressive mad scientist obsessed with finding the perfect woman.</em><br /><br />It looks like a good laugh and it features zombies, mexican wrestlers and strippers so you know there's an audience for it! Unfortunately there's no embedded code for the trailer so you'll just have to visit the site that features and adult warning <a href="http://www.elsuperbeasto.com/" target="_blank">right here</a></p>

	<title>Monday Movies: Dorian Gray (1970)</title>
	<link>http://www.brokenfrontier.com/blogs/p/detail/monday-movies-dorian-gray-1970</link>
	<description>
		<![CDATA[
			<p><em>Dorian Gray</em> was the infamous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Wilde" target="_blank">Oscar Wilde</a>'s only novel but like most of&#160; his plays it is a stroke of genius. To summarize, the titular character Dorian Gray's youthful beauty is immortal but his attic harbours a terrible secret: a painting gradually revealing his inner ugliness to all who witness it.</p>
<p>The movie spotlighted here is a contemporary take on the novel and gets mostly good reviews though I haven't seen it myself yet the poster at least takes a very graphic approach to the premisse of the story. Click on the image for a larger version.</p>

All examples have moviestreams attached to them so there's plenty of viewing time to while away some empty hours.</p>
