Hitting theaters less than a year after the original, Scream 2 has all the marks of a sequel including bigger, gorier, and more over-the-top kills all while shoehorning in even more notable faces and cameos as the franchise follows Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) to college where the release of the movie Stab (loosely based on the events of the first film) lead to a new Ghostface (Roger Jackson) hunting Sidney, Randy (Jamie Kennedy), Dewey (David Arquette), and Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) along with new faces such a sorority girl Cici (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Sid’s roommate Hallie (Elise Neal) and new beau Derek (Jerry O’Connell).

Nick Fury vs. Fin Fang Foom

/ / Comics

In a title just ridiculous for me to get behind, this one shot from J. Michael Straczynski and Elena Casagrande offer up this adventure set during prior to the United States entering WWII in which Nick Fury accepts a job from Happy Sam to investigate why the secret supplies the U.S. have been smuggling into China to help them fight Japan are not making it into the battlefield. Helping him on his mission are a group of soldiers who will later make a name for themselves as the Howling Commandos.

Transformers #18

/ / Comics

Transformers #18 jumps around to follow the same separate storylines from the past couple of issues. We get more of the battle between Devastator and Bruticus as the internal war within the Decepticons comes to a screeching halt with the sudden appearance of Megaton which signals bad news for the rag-tag Autoboots on Earth. Elsewhere, the American Military catches up to the group of Arcee, Beachcomber, Ultra Magnus, and Carly. Not yet realizing the difference between Autobots and Decepticons, they attack and take Ultra Magnus prisoner. While the comic doesn’t go quite as far to confirm the group as G.I. JOE, this suggests the very slow interweaving between the two properties may finally be picking up.

The Great Race

  • Title: The Great Race
  • IMDb: link

Throwback Thursday takes us to the most expensive comedy ever made at the time it was released and featured what has come to be known as the greatest pie fight ever captured on-screen. With 1965’s The Great Race director Blake Edwards (known for his over-the-top comedies) delivers his love letter to silent films in a battle of good and evil across the globe. Edwards fills, one might even suggest overfills, the film with silent movie gags and tropes including a ballroom brawl, sword fights, characters mistaken for lookalikes, slapstick and cartoonish humor (including the villains blowing up), and running gags.

Secret Six #1

/ / Comics

The first issue to kick off a new volume of Secret Six doesn’t feel much like a Secret Six comic with the focus primarily being characters not used in any previous series. Set in the aftermath of Absolute Power, the first issue really focuses on, in descending levels of importance, Jon Kent, his boyfriend Gossamer, and Dreamer who arrives to inform the pair Amanda Waller has disappeared. Looking in to where Waller should be, things get Secret Six adjacent with the trio breaking Black Alice out of prison. It’s not until the final panel, however, where the count adds up to six with the cameo appearances of Catman and Deadshot.
