By Unkiedev The nineties comic book boom (and subsequent crash) was based on two factors that are still cavorting through the forest of comics today. One is the Unicorn of variant covers, the other is […]
I’ll cool it with the TRON posts soon. Promise. These gorgeous prints from Mondo went on sale today, but were sold out in mere minutes. FP still has some stock left on what’s sure to […]
By Christopher Troy Allow, for a minute, a small rant. I’m a fairly big Scott Pilgrim fan. Like read all the books, own the blu-ray and game, big fan. I was really excited to hear […]
It’s no secret that not since The Fellowship of the Ring have I looked forward to a movie as much as I do TRON Legacy. Just seven days to go! If you find yourself needing […]
Unca Grant as one angry, frilly-shirted badass vs. My Chemical Romance Redemption: The sequel to one of the most ambitious SF cinema flops of all time is expected to become one of the biggest films […]
Olivia Wilde’s character, Quorra… traversing the Grid in heels. In other TRON Legacy news I picked up a neat-o Identity Disc slash frisbee at the shop yesterday. Looks great, flies like poop… but who cares […]
Been a helluva day but I’m dogged and relentless (LET ME AT ‘EM!). END OF LINE.
…In which we catch up with one of our favorite subjects. Actor Peter Jurasik, who played a compound interest program named Crom in the original film, showed up in an article in the Star News […]
New TRON Legacy footage premiered at Comic-Con this morning!!! Pretty rad, huh? More footage was reportedly shown at the panel, but this represents what’s officially been released to the web. It’s enough, though, as there’s […]
It’s been a bit since The Daily Planet presented any news bytes on its most anticipated movie of 2010, so let’s check in and see what’s shaking! Empire Magazine’s new issue features, among other geeky […]
South Park, a program which I ashamedly admit I’ve only had a modest interest in since its debut despite a circle of friends who swear by its perpetual gut-busting charms, recently aired a spot-on episode […]
Coming soon: Battlestar Galactica MMO. Slated to be a browser-based space strategy game, offered exclusively on syfy.com for its first 30 days, this is being developed by obscure (and relatively unproven) Norwegian developer Artplant– which […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Plaque, Legos, Dozers… These things build up. So too does the rather heaping mound of comics, books, and assorted curiosities on the coffee table back at Casa de Ayers. I get sent and/or buy a whole lot of stuff in my capacity as buyer for FP (not to mention my lot in this life- Jeff Ayers, geek) and most weeks simply cannot keep up with the volume. Don’t get me wrong, there are worse problems to have, but there are many quality works that need to be rescued from this oblivion periodically. Let’s see what’s currently mixed in the pile. […]

Zachary Quinto lent his fame to Stride Gum last week in an effort to promote their Save The Arcades program. Very much a good geek cause, yet still very much a publicity grab for… um… […]
