Fantastic fan-made poster – The Dark Knight… Returns?
This is uber-fake, but still mighty cool: Which brings me to the whole “Dark Knight sequel has cast X in the leading role of Y” stuff. As Moriarty at AICN so accurately posted, the buck stops with Christopher Nolan re:…

Vegas, baby!
For the first time ever, I am in the town that Moe Green built. And they don’t even have a plaque with his name on it! I only have a brief layover (I’ll be on my way home 20-some hours…

Well that didn’t take long – Favre traded to the Jets.
Brett Favre’ long career as a Green Bay Packer is over. He should be officially traded by now after the news broke late last night. I’m not suprised, though the Packer management may be thinking twice if Rodgers loses the…

I’m a huge Packers fan, but the news today that Brett Favre has been reinstated as a player in the NFL and is on his way to training camp leaves me with mixed feelings. I think that Brett should never…
