On the upside, with two copies of the box set available for giveaway, those of you who did enter have...

Josh Zyber — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:00:19 +0000

It used to be that, once the major networks shut down their programming schedules, there was little of interest to watch on TV during the summer months except reruns and Reality crap.

Blu-ray Highlights of Mars – June 5th, 2012

Josh Zyber — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:00:57 +0000

Well, look at that. Hey, Disney, you see how easy it is to include the words “of Mars” in a title? That’s not very difficult at all, just seven little characters (including the space) that might help your potential audience to have a vague idea of what your content is about. I bet that’s a...
