Saw this on Sci-Fi Wire. I guess 3-D is the new “talkie?” It’s going to be cropping up everywhere. I’m not sure if Green Lantern is popular enough and this extra feature will bring in more people, but it certainly will help the bottom line of this movie and superhero movies in general. A good thing.

If you always wanted to see Green Lantern on the big screen in 3-D instead of that boring old 2-D (’cause we all know how yawn-inducing that would be), you’re in luck, and you can thank Avatar for that, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Warner Brothers has decided to add an extra dimension to DC’s superhero, apparently inspired by all the big bucks Fox pulled in with the James Cameron blockbuster. The studio had already announced plans to convert both Clash of the Titans and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part One to 3-D releases.
Warners also announced that Zach Snyder’s action fantasy Punch, set to hit theaters on March 25, 2011, will also make the leap from 2-D to 3-D.
Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds, is set to premiere on June 17, 2011.
I would consider myself a bit of a late bloomer when it comes to The Big Bang Theory. I caught reruns between seasons two and three and was endeared by the characters, enjoyed the sitcom, punchline timing, and was curious how they could get away with physics humor in prime time. But I was most enthralled with the trips to the local comic book store…especially on new comic book day (which we all know is Tuesday). This last episode of TBBT was a love letter to all fans of Marvel comics, of which I most heartily count myself.
No episode of a TV show or movie starring a Marvel character or featuring a comic book plot is complete without the mandatory Stan Lee cameo. Whether it’s Stan Lee pulling a kid to safety in Spider-Man or being a playboy in Iron Man, he pops ala Steven King.
This episode’s A-plot centered on Stan Lee’s visit to the comic book store. I enjoyed their excitement and the scene where they were flipping through their collections to decide what they would have him sign. Leonard had a tough choice between the first appearance of Dr. Doom or Thor (he definitely should have chosen Thor) for Stan Lee to autograph. But a Batman comic?? That would have been awesome.
This series does a good job of not patronizing nerds/geeks, but making comedy where we are in our element and know the references without being too obscure. Raj’s jokes about Marvel characters’ alliteration names is very true. Poor JJJ. I enjoyed every minute they were in the comic book store as it is a place ripe for good-natured humor and one that all us comic book fans know well.
For the denouement, my wife called it. She didn’t even know who Stan Lee was, but knew that Sheldon would have a signed restraining order that he would frame. Brilliant! She definitely deserves a No-Prize.

Superhero Cinema is now also involved in Comicfest, a new convention attached to Starfest. Last year I did one panel there, this year I will be doing more, I will probably be moving the activities from the video room at Starfest to Comicfest. All of the video programming will still be at Starfest. Video schedule will be posted soon.

All the details are finally worked out, i’m going to my first San Diego Comic-Con International tomorrow.
The schedule is a little daunting, all the panels on the latest TV shows and Movies! I’m going to try to see as much as possible.
Here is a link to the schedule
I am going to be using Twitter to post blog updates during the entire convention, if you already use Twitter just follow mbnewman. If you don’t use Twitter, you can just follow the messages athttp://www.twitter.com/mbnewman .
We do hope to have shows again soon, I need to get back in touch with the guys. It’s been a really hectic year. Maybe my Comic-Con report will be the perfect excuse.
I’m having server problems with the site, my web host is complaining that the site is using too much CPU on the shared hosting, i’m disabling the news component for right now until I can figure it out.
