ABOUT Jen Schiller
Jen is a nerd with a penchant for writing. Her writing can be found on kotaku, 3DSbuzz, and Sub-Cultured–where she still writes and contributes regularly. She is a Hufflepuff who wouldn’t say no to a trip in the TARDIS, and most of her ailments can be solved by hot tea, old books, and seventeen viewings of Captain America.
Confession time: no matter how many times the story of Peter Pan is retold, I am excited. I have never been let down by any version I’ve seen/read/listened to of this story; so even though the newest production is a follow-up to last year’s awkwardly successful Sound of Music Live on NBC, I’m going in optimistic. Add to…
Stan Lee was in attendance at Salt Lake City Comic-Con this weekend. He sat down with comicbooks.com and discussed the recent news about Falcon picking up the shield in the Captain America comics series, about which Lee seems to know very little. You Can’t Know Everything… Lee is a huge figure in the comics world,…
Forbes writer Andy Robertson recently got his hands on the entire collection of playable figures for Disney INFINITY: Marvel Superheroes (affectionately being referred to by fans as Disney Infinity 2.0). Being the realistic human and good journalist that his is, Robertson decided to allow the target audience of the game to have a go at…
In the last few years, New York Comic Con’s popularity has grown so that it is nearly as big an event for the entertainment industry as its San Diego counterpart. The growth is evident in the fact that huge companies, like Disney, have chosen the fall convention to release exciting announcements and sneak peeks at…
There is nothing on this planet that I have more feelings about than Captain America, and I go crazy for even a shred of Cap-scented news. That is a disappointing situation to be in when the next film doesn’t come out until 2016—but now fans of the Star Spangled Man can dance in their seats,…
Anyone paying attention in the Disney realm knew this was coming eventually. In fact, Disney has been teasing insiders since 2013’s D23 expo, where a whole bunch of crates “mysteriously appeared” from somewhere incredibly far away. The crates, all marked “Project Orange Harvest” were not-so-subtly Star Wars themed—indicators ranged from a roll of blueprints for a…
San Diego Comic-Con has begun, officially, and the news is already pouring out. Marvel fans in particular got a great little sneak peek last night at the poster art for the first ever Ant-Man movie title. We already knew that Paul Rudd is locked in as Ant-Man himself, and that Marvel has scooted slowly away…
San Diego Comic-Con is well known for exclusive merchandising—and everyone tends to bring their very best to this annual mecca of nerd culture. Mattel’s line-up for SDCC is no exception to this, in fact their booth will include a full-sized Darth Vader-style Hot Wheels car. The car is an introduction to the upcoming Star Wars…
Marvel is amazing. A little background that people tend to forget: no one wanted to touch Iron Man with a ten foot pole. Fast forward six years and now it seems everyone wants a piece of Marvel studios—a company started because no one would produce these little comic book films that were supposed to flop…
Once Upon a Time is a tricky show to fall in love with. Like many television shows with special effects, it is usually a hit or miss on how well an illusion is successfully created. There’s a lower budget than films and a much shorter deadline, and considering the format (a weekly time slot that…
