Pop Artifact! Major Matt Mason Week

Pop Culture Roundup May 9, 2007

"Veronica Mars" is over after this season, right? Maybe not, TV Guide reports. There's a possibility the show could return in a much-different form.

CW prez Dawn Ostroff is said to have responded very favorably to the trailer that series creator Rob Thomas shot for a potential reworking of the show with VM as an FBI agent (think Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs, only with way better hair and funnier dialogue). What's more, sources whisper to me that on the strength of that presentation, Thomas and Co. have been asked for more deets of the proposed revamp.

More from Variety:

"We pitched them two different versions of the show," [Thomas] said. "One with Veronica continuing in year two of college, and one in which we fast-forward four years and she's an FBI agent. I don't know which version they might order."

Reps from the CW and Warner Bros, which co-produces the show, declined to comment. The CW is scheduled to make its presentation at the upfronts in New York on May 17, which means that word on the fate of "Veronica" will come within a week.

If the show is coming back, in whatever form here's hoping they do something about the diminished quality in the scripts. This past season has been barely a notch above "Save the Bell"-level in terms of sophistication--a far cry from that excellent "Nancy Drew meets Buffy in Twin Peaks" first season.

We've looked at DC and Marvel's offerings for July, but here's a look at other items of interest available then. Click titles to pre-order from Amazon.


DESTROYER DUCK TP
by Steve Gerber, Jack Kirby, & Alfredo Alcala The mad genius behind Howard the Duck teams up with the artistic visionary who brought us Fantastic Four, X-Men, and the Hulk! Destroyer Duck takes on GodCorp to fight for the Little Guy in this 25th anniversary collection of this historic comic. Includes the complete Gerber/Kirby run, and a new introduction by Gerber. SC, 7x10, 120pgs, B&W SRP: $8.99


GIRL FROM HOPPERS: LOCAS VOL 2 TP
by Jaime Hernandez The 25th anniversary Love and Rockets celebration continues with these first two volumes collecting the adventures of the spunky Maggie, her annoying best friend and sometime lover Hopey, and their circle of friends, including their bombshell friend Penny Century, Maggie's weirdo mentor Izzy - as well as the wrestler Rena Titanon and Maggie's handsome love interest, Rand Race. Also included is a whole cycle of wrestling stories starring or co-starring Rena Tinanon, whose return was memorably chronicled in the New York Times serial, "La Maggie La Locas." SC, 7x9, 272pgs, B&W SRP: $14.95


HUMAN DIASTROPHISM: PALOMAR VOL. 2 TP
Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2007, Love and Rockets is finally being released in its most accessible form yet: As a series of compact, thick, affordable, mass-market volumes that present the whole story in perfect chronological order.
This volume will collect the second half of Gilbert Hernandez's acclaimed magical-realist tales of "Palomar," the small Central American town, beginning with the landmark "Human Diastrophism," named one of the greatest comic book stories of the 20th Century by The Comics Journal, and continuing on through more modern-day classics.
"Human Diastrophism" is the only full graphic novel length "Palomar" story ever created by Gilbert. In it, a serial killer stalks Palomar—but his depredations, hideous as they are, only serve to exacerbate the cracks in the idyllic Central American town as the modern world begins to intrude. "Diastrophism" concludes with the death (the suicide, in fact) of one of Palomar's most beloved characters, and a postscript that provides one of the most hauntingly magical moments of the entire series as a rain of ashes drifts down upon Palomar.
Also included are all the post-"Diastrophism" stories, in which Luba's past (as seen in the epic Poison River) comes back to haunt her, and the seeds are sown for the "Palomar diaspora" that ends this dense, enthralling book.
SC, 7x9, 288pgs, B&W SRP: $14.95

Book: DC Comics Covergirls

Penned by longtime comics scripter/editor Louise Simonson, this book is out May 29.

From the trailblazing Wonder Woman of the 1940s to edgy, girl-power-driven comics series like Birds of Prey, DC Comics Covergirls takes a look at the female characters of DC Comics throughout the company's history, and features many of DC Comics' iconic comic book covers.

Written by renowned comic book writer Louise Simonson, the book examines the evolution of the comic book women of DC Comics: the 1942 introduction of the most famous DC heroine, Wonder Woman, and her various incarnations up to the present; the creation of comic book spin-offs based on characters such as Lois Lane; and the recent wealth of fierce, female character-driven comics such as Supergirl, Birds of Prey, Batgirl, and Catwoman, featuring women who have no trouble being both sexy and strong-willed.

Famous featured DC Comics artists include Jim Lee, Alex Ross, Adam Hughes, J. Scott Campbell, Michael Turner, Tim Sale, and Jill Thompson. DC Comics Covergirls is a smart and in-depth look at the female comic book characters we've grown up with all these years, and is sure to appeal to new comic book fans and diehard collectors alike.

The book is available for pre-order now from Amazon.

DVD: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Global Warming Edition

Out June 5, this new edition of the sci-fi film that spawned the TV series of the same name seems more timely than ever.

Consider the plot:

A routine scientific expedition to the North Pole turns into a race to save all mankind when a radiation belt in space causes a fiery inferno on Earth. Admiral Nelson (Walter Pidgeon) and the crew of the atomic submarine Seaview battle saboteurs, giant sea-creatures and attacks by enemy submarines as they race to prevent global catastrophe.

Renowned disaster film producer, Irwin Allen, produces and directs an all-star cast including Joan Fontaine, Barbara Eden, Peter Lore, and Frankie Avalon. The stunning visual effects and breathtaking underwater photography make this one of the most respected sci-fi adventure classics of all time.

This is a one-disk package with no word on extras yet. You can pre-order it now from Amazon.

Doctor Who fans may dig "Dalek I Loved You," a memoir of growing up in Britain during the Tom Baker years.

Dalek I Loved You is an irresistible memoir of a childhood lived through the 1970s and 1980s. Writing with wit and humour, Griffiths takes us on a poignant and often hilarious journey through his childhood, where he first encountered Dr Who, into his teens where he is packed off to boarding school and discovers girls and David Bowie, onto his first formative years of employment at some hip but now defunct music magazines and into life as a father and husband who is now writing about his childhood passion for a living.

Canada's Globe and Mail checks in with Beatles producer George Martin.

Once Martin had the Beatles under his wing, the group's manager, Brian Epstein, began to send a bevy of Liverpudlians to Martin. He duly produced many chart-breakers for the likes of Gerry and the Pacemakers, Cilla Black and Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, among others. In fact, in Britain in 1963, for 34 weeks the No. 1 hit was a song produced by Martin. "It had never been done before," he said with undiminished pride, "and it never will be done again."

Today's video: "Shazam!" animated series opening

Pop Artifact! Major Matt Mason Week!

Pop Culture Roundup May 7, 2007

ABC has announced its plans from wrapping up "Lost."

The Emmy-winning adventure series will run for 48 more episodes over three seasons. Each season will consist of 16 episodes, which will air uninterrupted.

"Lost" executive producers/showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, who have been vocal about setting up an endgame for the show, have signed on to stay for the remainder of the series' run.

A typical season is 24 episodes, so this news really means ABC has elected to buy only two more seasons. They're just making it look like three.

Originally, five full seasons of the show were planned.

This may not be entirely bad news for viewers, though. Lately, the show has been great. But the first part of this season seemed a bit listless--lots of episode where not much happened. Maybe giving the creators a tight deadline to finish up will help keep the quality on track.

Maryland's school teachers are being urged to use comic books to help children learn to read.

'Reading is such an important activity for all children, and using comic book-related lessons offers teachers an important new tool to draw students into the world of words,' said state Superintendent Nancy Grasmick. 'This project enhances other work that goes on in the reading class.'

Comic books and graphic novels should not replace other forms of literature, but they can be an entry point for some reluctant readers, Grasmick said.

Liv Tyler will play Betty Ross opposite Ed Norton's Bruce Banner in the new "Incredible Hulk" film.

Here's an interview tracing the history of those freebie comics at Big Boy restaurants.

In 1956, Timely Comics, the forerunner of Marvel, created a comic for the Big Boy restaurants. It was written by—are you ready for this?—Stan Lee! And it was drawn by Bill Everett, the artist who created The Sub-Mariner in comic’s Golden Age. Lee and Everett were, of course, the team that created Daredevil.

Another notable artist on the book was Dan DeCarlo, who beautifully drew Betty and Veronica [of the Archie comics] for a number of years. Dan’s rendition of Big Boy’s girlfriend, Dolly, looks not unlike a young Betty Cooper!

Additional fact: Lee's Spider-Man co-creator Steve Diko drew an Big Boy issue in 1997.

Lost clues: "The Brig" ep. 19, season 3

Synopsis:

We learn that Locke and the Others have all gone on some sort of camping trip, bringing with them Locke's captive father, Anthony Cooper.

Ben tells Locke that he must kill Cooper in order to divorce himself from the past--to do away with the physically and emotionally crippled man he once was. Cooper is the man who destroyed Locke's life, now it's time to seize it back, Ben says.

The Others seem to view Locke as someone special. He was once paralyzed, but can now walk again. They admire him. But they are disappointed when Locke can't bring himself to do what Ben orders.

Later, though, the Other Richard Alpert talks to Locke. He says Ben wanted Locke to look weak in front of the rest. Ben fears Locke's abilities. Richard then hands Locke a file on one of the other crash survivors, saying this person can do what Locke bring himself to do--kill Cooper.

That person is Sawyer. As suspected for a while now, Cooper the "real Sawyer," the con man who swindled Sawyer's parents, leading Sawyer's dad to kill himself and his wife.

Locke goes back to the beach camp and confronts Sawyer. He says he's taken Ben captive and that he wants Sawyer to kill Ben. Locke also starts revealing some of the things he's learned by reading Sawyer's file. Confused and angry, Sawyer follows Ben to the wreckage of the old slave ship, the Black Rock, where there's a hooded captive in the brig.

Sawyer steps into the brig, believing the captive to be Ben and Locke suddenly shuts the door, locking Sawyer in with the captive.

Sawyer unmasks the prisoner and discovers it's not Ben, but Cooper. Cooper, we learn, was apparently abducted by the Others following a car crash. He thinks he's dead and that he's in hell. That's why he's been confronted by Locke, who he believes died in the plane crash. And, in the course of the discussion, Sawyer discovers who Cooper really is.

Cooper taunts Sawyer, calling him weak. Growing more and more angry, Sawyer loses control and strangles the prisoner. Locke then lets him out and they part ways. Before that, however, Locke tells Sawyer that Juliet is a spy and gives him the cassette recorder Juliet's been using to send messages to Ben.

Back on the beach, Desmond, Charlie, Jin and Hurley are treating the injured parachutist--keeping her presence secret because they don't trust Jack and Juliet. They bring Sayid into their confidence, however, thinking he might be able to get the parachutists satellite phone working again. We learn that the parachutist's name is Naomi and that she's been looking for Desmond on behalf of Penelope Widmore. She says the rest of her team is on a ship near the island.

Kate soon learns about Naomi, too. And, although she's been urged to keep the secret, she immediately tells Jack, in Juliet's presence, what's going on: There's a new person on the island who's trying to rescue them. She has a phone and there's a ship nearby.

Jack and Juliet's response is very odd. Jack is very interested in the satellite phone and and Juliet says about Kate "maybe we should tell her?" but Jack interrupts saying "Not yet."



Clues, observations, speculation:

* What do Jack and Juliet's comments mean? Do they mean that there's no way the phone will work due to the electrogmagnetic disturbance caused by the Hatch explosion? Do they know something about the island's location and realize any rescue attempt is somehow futile? What's the deal?

* Are the Others aware of Penelope's efforts to locate Desmond? What's the Widmore-Dharma connection?

* Rousseau goes to the Black Rock for some dynamite while Locke, Sawyer and Cooper are there. Locke let's her take as much as she wants. What does she plan to do with it? Does she plan to attack the Others, who took her daughter? Why isn't Locke concerned?



* Both Cooper and Naomi again make reference to the plane crash wreckage having been discovered complete with dead passengers. Was this evidence staged by the Others? Or is everyone really dead? And, if they're dead, how can they die even more? Sawyer kills Cooper. Ana Lucia and Libby are killed. So is Mr. Eko. Nikki and Paulo are apparently dead. And there are more. Faked wreckage seems the more likely scenario. But why?

* Is Ben really worried about Locke's potential influence over the Others, or is Richard Alpert just using that scenario to manipulate Locke?

* Do the Others view Locke as some sort of divine figure? Do they think he's "Jacob"?

* Ben stands up from his wheelchair and starts walking with a cane. Is his recovery due to Locke's presence, as he tells Locke?

* Why does Ben bring so much stuff with him when he goes camping? He had bookshelves and an entire office in his tent.

* And what's up with the whole camporee thing anyway? Why have the Others left their village? Do they ever plan to go back?

* What's motivating the Others? Spiritual beliefs? Fear? What's their community all about? It's disturbing and odd seeing the bunch of them, including Cindy the stewardess and the two children from the tail section, all standing in a group wanting to see Locke kill his father. Are newcomers like Cindy brainwashed or indoctrinated in some way? A person from the outside world wouldn't easily fall in line with their worldview. Or was Cindy an Other spy from the get-go?

* Cooper tells Sawyer some of his various aliases: Adam Seward,Anthony Cooper, Ted McLaren, Tom Sawyer, Louis Jackson...

Review roundup: Spider-Man 3

Entertainment Weekly:
...after the danger and majesty and romantic brio of Spider-Man 2, those adrenalized rooftop ballets feel, more than ever, like sequences: hermetic action miracles cooked up in the effects lab, with a story patched around them. Sam Raimi, directing his third Spidey adventure (the script is by Raimi, his brother Ivan, and Alvin Sargent), tosses together the rivalries, criminals, and amorous mishaps like salad, and he contrives a way to make Spider-Man into a figure of ''alienated'' vengeance without ever risking the tiniest sliver of audience market share.

Boston Globe
Describing ‘‘Spider-Man 3’’ as busy is an understatement. It sets out to accomplish a lot, maybe too much: The film lasts well over two hours, and toward the climactic fight sequence fatigue starts to set in.

To their credit, though, Raimi and his big, hard-working crew are determined to dazzle (the budget is rumored to be almost $300 million), even at the risk of bombarding us with pleasure, people, images, action, and real feeling. The movie has the curious effect of leaving you over-fulfilled. When it’s done, any appetite for another event picture, even one half as well made as this, is temporarily curbed.

USA Today
It's an action-packed tale with the emotional heft and humor we've come to expect from the series. The first two-thirds of the film grabs and keeps our attention, moving at just the right pace. But ultimately it's about 15 minutes too long with an overblown climax.

...Director Sam Raimi keeps trying to top what he has created before, but in the final face-off, he seems to trade his agility for spectacular confrontations in favor of a bombastic and exaggerated battle sequence.

Still, that is offset by the rewards of stylish continuity that come from having the same creative team at the helm. Raimi continues to delve deeper into Spidey's psyche. Spider-Man 3 adds new colors to his humanity and heroism. He turns from revenge toward compassion and forgiveness, and there's nothing wrong with that as a subtle message.

(Australia) Courier-Mail
SAM Raimi's third Spider-Man movie for Sony falls somewhere below the entertainment level of the previous Spider-Man adventures.

....Despite several new faces being added to the stock cast headed by Tobey Maguire in the title role and Kirsten Dunst as his girlfriend, Mary Jane, none adds anything particularly special to the comic book hero's latest outing.

Philadelphia Weekly
Bigger, louder and a good deal longer than its delightful predecessors, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 makes just about every wrong move in the sequel playbook, substituting scope and scale for the warmth and wit that made those two previous pictures so memorable. This lumbering third installment finds a trio of villains jockeying for screen time amid several half-developed storylines and a darker, self-serious tone that veers into the overwrought.

Lennon tribute album benefits Darfur relief efforts

The two-CD set Instant Karma is out June 12. It's available for pre-order now for from Amazon. Details:

[The album] boasts a stellar line-up of 23 world-class artists from a variety of genres putting their own unique spin on classic songs from Lennon's solo songbook.

The artists -- who come from the worlds of rock, pop, hip-hop and country -- include longtime activists U2 ("Instant Karma"), Green Day ("Working Class Hero"), R.E.M. ("#9 Dream") and Jackson Browne ("Oh My Love"); female pop powerhouses Christina Aguilera ("Mother"), Avril Lavigne ("Imagine"), and Corinne Bailey Rae ("I'm Losing You"); country stars Big & Rich ("Nobody Told Me"); alternative favorites Snow Patrol ("Isolation"), The Flaming Lips ("(Just Like) Starting Over"), Postal Service ("Grow Old With Me") and Regina Spektor ("Real Love"); best-selling rockers Aerosmith ("Give Peace a Chance"), Lenny Kravitz ("Cold Turkey") and Los Lonely Boys ("Whatever Gets You Thru the Night"); and pensive singer-songwriters Jakob Dylan with Dhani Harrison ("Gimme Some Truth") and Ben Harper ("Beautiful Boy").

The rights to Lennon's songs were generously donated by Yoko Ono, who has donated all music publishing royalties. Amnesty International chose to harness the power of Lennon's music to inspire a new generation of activists to stand up for human rights. Proceeds from CD and digital sales will support Amnesty International and its campaign to focus attention and mobilize activism around the urgent catastrophe in Darfur, and other human rights crises.

"It's wonderful that, through this campaign, music that is so familiar to many people of my era will now be embraced by a whole new generation," Ono says. "John's music set out to inspire change, and in standing up for human rights, we really can make the world a better place."
