The FAQ: Jason edition

The Immortal Iron Fist
Astonishing X-Men (Warren Ellis)
Ultimate Spider-Man
The Walking Dead
Uncanny X-Men
New Avengers
Scott Pilgrim
How do I get my friend/girlfriend to read comics?
Fables is a good way to start, but they need to give it at least 2 trades before they make a decision.
Buffy. Chicks dig Buffy.
Ultimate Spider-Man is usually a pretty good way to go.
The Sandman - this one is probably the most successful 'gender-crossover' title in a male-dominated medium.
What are the best horror movies around?
These may not be the scariest. They may not even be the best, per se. But they're my favorites in no particular order (and are completely subject to change).
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (the original)
Halloween (the original)
Night of the Living Dead (again, the original)
The Brood
Jacob's Ladder
The Thing (John Carpenter's remake)
The Exorcist
Zombie (Lucio Fulci!)
Bride of Frankenstein
Brides of Dracula

I *knew* it! That guy is such a fraud. Survivorman seems much more genuine. It may not be, but Bear Grylls just makes me angry.

Jason,
After watching a bunch of old val lewton horror movies and watching cinemassacre's current monster madness I'm convinced that Boris Karloff may be the most underrated actor of all time. My question to you is, what are your favorite films staring Boris Karloff where he had a speaking role.

Val Lewton! Very nice. Not sure about the Karloff, though. I'd have to say that Bava one -- Black Sunday? (or Black Sabbath - I always get those 2 titles mixed up)

Hey, I'm not sure how big of a Green Lantern fan you are, but have you ever seen this trailer? It's fan-made, but it's probably one of the most well-made fan trailers I've seen out there. I just thought it was cool and felt like sharing.

Hmmm. Very curious indeed. We'll see if this actually materializes. At first glance, it sounds too good to be true.

Only thing is I've seen it mentioned in a lot of places. Still, can't be too sure. Something else to hope comes out along with Colonial Marines.

Hey Jason,
Have you ever checked out James Rolfe's "Monster Madness"series that he does every October? He reviews 1 old weird horror movie or so for each day in October. This is the 3rd year for this series with the personal highlight being year 2, which is entirely dedicated to Godzilla. Here is one of the videos from this year so you can see the sort of things he covers:
& here is the page that has all the "Monster Madness videos on it.
