‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Shooting Victim’s Last Blog Post Heartbreakingly Sad

'The Dark Knight Rises' Shooting Victim's Last Blog Post Heartbreakingly Sad

Two months ago, sports blogger Jessica Redfield witnessed a shooting in Toronto’s Eaton Centre shopping mall. The experience, as I think it would with any of us, caused her to reflect on how precious and fleeting life is. Last night, Jessica Refield went to the Batman screening in Colorado. A 24 year old gunman began shooting 15 minutes into the movie, and Jessica was killed along with 11 other people (50 were wounded). The event seems too stunning and awful for us to find much substantial to add to it (our discussion has largely been limited to “why would someone do something like that?”) but I will say that if you want to have your heart broken, read Jessica’s last blog post regarding the Toronto shooting. In it she writes: More »

Another day, another The Dark Knight Rises premiere. Unlike at the New York premiere, the cast was not so impeccably dressed, with poor decisions hanging off of women and men alike. On the upside, there were some British B-listers there who you may not have heard of, so perhaps it will be educational for you. Everything I do, I do for edutainment. More »

In a bit of unexpected cross promo with The Dark Knight Rises, British design label Lazy Oaf is about to release a line of Batman themed clothing for grown-ups. Which makes me wonder: is it ever really possible to make “hip” clothing that takes itself seriously— as the numerous shots of a model wearing Batman clothes, doing editorial poses, and making sexyface would suggest—out of a movie based on a superhero comic? I don’t think so, but maybe you disagree! Peruse the photos and tell me what you think. More »

F*ck, Marry, Kill: Archie. Reggie. Jughead.

F*ck, Marry, Kill: Archie. Reggie. Jughead.

During last week’s extremely contentious Star Wars showdown, a lovely reader named Maggie suggested a F*ck Marry Kill starring… the boys of Archie comics, weirdly. So, because editors Jennifer Wright and Ashley Cardiff care, we did one. Of course, Ashley has never read an Archie comic, but that’s never stopped them before. As always, if you need a refresher on how to play “Fuck, Marry, Kill,” that sure surprises us, but here’s one anyway.

The Editors Debate: Batman Vs. The X-Men (Or Just Professor Xavier?)

The Editors Debate: Batman Vs. The X-Men (Or Just Professor Xavier?)

This week, editors Jennifer Wright and Ashley Cardiff were discussing the time-honored argument of Batman versus Superman, and how that is an extremely stupid argument because Batman is the obvious right answer. They determined that the only logical rival is the X-Men and then assigned sides. They argued for a bit and then wrote Magneto x Xavier slash fanfic. It gets pretty sexy. More »
