Well, sir, there’s nothing on Earth Like a genuine, Bonafide, Electrified, Six-car Tronorail! Greetings, Programs! Personally, it’s been a tough week, so please forgive me my second Tron Legacy related post in four days. Gotta […]
FP Transmissions, now featuring Emma Larson and Lindsay Johnson, having lost they damn minds and talking Manga.
A second trailer for Iron Man 2 has landed. Check it out: Most impressive.
Jeff Bridges, El Duderino if you’re not into the whole brevity thing, has finally won an Oscar, man. Between you and me The Dude should have been given a lifetime achievment award years ago, and […]
Today (3/6) is a very special day. It’s not the birthday of Gundam’s creator, Yoshiyuki Tomino, the day the first Gundam kit was released, or the day the first episode of Gundam aired. In fact, this day is mostly significant to those of us living in the United States. […]
Let’s explore some corners of Geekdom from the last few days through pictures, shall we? HBO Picks up A Game of Thrones (pilot + 9 episodes) Mr. Spidderman at the Wailing Wall during Purim. Nick […]
Lloyd Kaufman. To some he’s a film god, the David to Hollywood’s Goliath providing sharp, urbane horror and comedy to a public tired of the white-washed crumbs of the mainstream cinema. To others he’s a crass schlockmyseter, a sad, self aggrandizing turd polisher who couldn’t even reach the levels of Corman or Myers as an auteur but who’s publicity eclipses them both. […]
New this week to Forbidden Planet’s YouTube page is Matt D (manager, T-Shirt buyer, horror expert, all-around swell dude), discussing TROMA films in all their magnificent lowbrow splendor, and our event with Lloyd Kaufman on […]
Holy cats! Two weeks from tonight! Midnight release!
Jimmy Palmiotti’s shares some pics from the forthcoming Jonah Hex flick with us. Josh Brolin looks fantastic in the titular role, if nigh on unrecognizable, no? The film is slated for a June 18th, 2010 […]
Marvel’s giving us a chance to peruse the first six pages of Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s (both of Civil War fame) next project (due to release 3/3/10) here. This being a Millar book from […]
The final season of LOST kicks off tonight, and though I am a fan I will not be watching as I’ll be managing FPNYC, hawking wares, getting ready for a big Wednesday, and generally covering […]
Via press release: VIZ Pictures, an affiliate of VIZ Media, LLC that focuses on Japanese live-action film distribution, will release the science fiction feature 20th CENTURY BOYS 2: THE LAST HOPE on DVD on February […]
Russ Fischer at /Film has posted all six parts of a fascinating conversation between Dune visionaries Frank Herbert and David Lynch, recorded for Waldenbooks in 1983. Letters of Note features James Cameron’s response to H.R. […]
Could this be an official track from the French duo’s Tron Legacy score? Internet scuttlebutt says so. Very much in line with Wendy Carlos’ iconic music for the first film, with some signature Daft Punk […]
‘Round this time of year I’d normally be much more absorbed by a wholly different countdown (Mets pitchers and cathers = 20 days and counting), but I’ve just seen something that has set my geekalogical […]
With things like Genshiken 2, Kujibiki Unbalance, Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino, Death Note: Re Light and *cough* Shippuden *cough*, it seems that anime producers have run into the same rut as Hollywood in the way of rehashing things that have already been done. And while many of you are waiting for the new Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, or the new Neon Genesis movies (which as neat as they may be are essentially going to sum up the series), they just seem to further my point. Where is the bizarre creativity and fresh concepts and conceptions that endeared anime culture to us Westerners in the first place? Let’s face it, it’s getting a little boring out there. […]
Happy New Year! Sorry we’ve not been around much over the Holiday Season, but I promise a return to daily posting starting now. That being said, Forbidden Planet NYC is hosting an event this coming […]
If you found the last two weeks of insane releases a tad hard on the wallet, you will be thrilled this week, there are less than ten titles showing up. Don’t get me wrong this week makes up for it in quality. It seems to be the kind of week for all those manga that regular people (ie: not otaku) read, Oishinbo Volume 6, Black Jack Volume 8, Pluto Volume 6, Vagabond Volume 30, and while those are all well and amazing, there is also Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 21, which came out really quickly this time around, Case Closed Volume 32 comes around, and Gurren Lagann Volume 3 is here. Like I said, it’s a pretty awesome week right? […]
I know all you loyal Shibuya-Cho readers out there look forward to the weekly manga and anime updates, but this week something special came up, and being the guy upstairs, I felt this time we needed to share the love…and article space. […]
