Do Toys and Batman Ruin Female Super Hero Movies?
A little while back, I had a conversation with some friends about comic book movies. It stemmed from Iron Man airing on TV; which led to someone mentioning how much they disliked Pepper’s portrayal in Iron Man 3 as the “damsel in distress” until the climax of the film. They argued that the movie fails to optimize her character in lieu of a trope, but let’s put aside the fact that Pepper has almost always been an ancillary character.
The conversation then moved on to “Why are there no comic book movies featuring a female heroes?”
Where am I going with this? Well, with recent news that Katee Sackhoff may play a major role in an upcoming Marvel Studios film (which is hopefully as Captain Marvel); I thought I would give my thoughts as why there have been no successful comic book movies featuring a female hero and how the sales of toys and success of Batman hinders a movie coming out.

Review: Don Jon
I haven’t done one of these in a while; but I could not pass up sharing what I thought about Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s feature length writing/directorial debut. Not to mention it is the first film to come out from HitRecord, which is the production lovechild of JGL. Natalia and I went to a screening last night and here are my thoughts on the movie.

Remember the moment when Hank had that a-ha! moment and saw Walt as the face of the Meth Empire? This episode is the culmination of that very moment. We get a tally of who survived last episode’s explosive finale and a lot 
more questions are presented.
I wiki’d the title of tonight’s episode and came across a poem that while interesting did not yield much understanding in relation to Breaking Bad. So I asked the comic book nerds and they explained that in Watchmen there was a character who in a scheme to make the heroes seem more heroic set a plan in motion that destroyed a big chunk of new york. A man whose good intentions led to a major disaster… does that sound familiar to anyone?
Let’s see how Mr. White fared after the shootout last episode. Hit the jump for a full re-cap: Read More…
