Tom Stillwell, a Chicago comic book writer wants to create a book that his teenage daughter can be proud of.

“I love this kid to pieces and I want to write comics for her. I want her to read a comic and think Hey! That’s me! I do that,” said Stillwell.

Fangirl is Stillwell’s latest Kickstarter project.

The main character of the book Alice, just wants to hit up the big San Diego comic book convention, meet her Magefire guildies in real life, and maybe, just maybe, score a con exclusive Assault on Saturn action figure.

Her plans go awry when Alice witnesses a murder. On the run from a corrupt cop, Alice and her friends take to the con in hopes of blending in with the throngs of cosplayers, gamers, Whovians, Brownscoats…the cornucopia of Fandom. And maybe still get that sweet sweet action figure.

Fangirl is written by Stillwell with art by Jessica Lynn, and colors by Zac Atkinson. The Kickstarter project is live now and the book is expected for delivery in April of 2016.

M. Night Shyamalan Returns To Roots In New Trailer For The Visit

M. Night Shyamalan has been mired in mediocrity and worse for over a decade now. The once promising director has tried anything and everything to capture the magic he displayed in his trio of early films, The Sixth Sense, Signs, and my personal favorite, Unbreakable. Which brings us here, to The Visit, and the first official trailer.

Here is the official trailer for The Visit:

While it is clear Shyamalan is employing overused hand held and documentary-style camera techniques in The Visit, at least the film appears to be a return to what made Shyamalan so popular in the first place: low-key thrills with small casts.

This film could really go either way, but here’s to hoping that it at least shows off some of the storytelling prowess Shyamalan once had. The Visit opens September 11.

Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans Call Black Widow “Just A Complete Whore”

April 23, 2015

We just had one week till Avengers: Age of Ultron! Couldn’t we keep our heads together for six more days.

Jeremy Renner was asked how he felt about the Black Widow being with Bruce Banner now. Renner’s response, “she’s a slut!”
Chris Evans chimes in with, “just a complete whore!”

UGHHHHH!!!!
Seriously, the internet it just waiting for people to be stupid. Renner just soft-tossed a pitch over the middle for the internet to explode.

Evans and Renner have since released a statement apologizing for their remarks.

Evans said, “Yesterday we were asked about the rumors that Black Widow wanted to be in a relationship with both Hawkeye and Captain America. We answered in a very juvenile and offensive way that rightfully angered some fans. I regret it and sincerely apologize.”

Renner said, “I am sorry that this tasteless joke about a fictional character offended anyone. It was not meant to be serious in any way. Just poking fun during an exhausting and tedious press tour.”

@monkeys_robots @MatthewSardo I'm not a politically correct psycho but that so-called"joke"was incredibly insulting & not even remotelyFunny

Yesterday, the first official image of Johnny Depp as Whitey Bulger in Black Mass surfaced, indicating that this may be the first film in several years Depp has truly sunk his teeth into. Now, the first trailer for the crime drama has dropped, showcasing a frightening Depp as Bulger.

Watch the Back Mass trailer here, courtesy of Apple trailers:

The cold blue-eyed stare is enough to send shivers up your spine. That, coupled with the fact that Whitey Bulger was a vicious gangster, and a massive all-star cast make this one of my most anticipated films of the fall movie season.

Black Mass opens on September 18.
