Navigating a society obsessed with youthfulness is where we find actress Farrah Durante in Jim Zub (Wayward) and Djibril Morissette-Phan's (All-New Wolverine) Glitterbomb. The horror comic series is hitting shelves in a trade paperback collection this March, and we have a look at the cover art and release details.
Press Release: Fan-favorite writer Jim Zub (Wayward, Skullkickers) and red-hot new artist Djibril Morissette-Phan (The Ultimates, All-New Wolverine) will release the first trade paperback collection of their explosive horror series Glitterbomb this March from Image Comics.
Farrah Durante is a middle-aged actress hunting for her next gig in an industry where youth trumps experience. Her frustrations become an emotional lure for something horrifying out beyond the water: something ready to exact revenge on the shallow, celebrity-obsessed culture that's led her astray.
"Glitterbomb is a very special project for Djibril and I,” said Zub. “Delving into the dark heart of celebrity with wonderful collaborators like K.

"Catching Fire," the second adaptation of Suzanne Collins' "Hunger Games" trilogy hits theaters this Friday in what's expected to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. Jennifer Lawrence, now an Oscar winner, returns as Katniss Everdeen, who won the 74th Annual Hunger Games in an act of defiance disguised as true love for her fellow Tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). The winners have to go on a Victory Tour of the Districts proving they're in love or Panem's President Snow (Donald Sutherland) will kill everyone they love. Instead of placating the President, Katniss ends up a symbol of a growing resistance to the totalitarian Capitol, so the President announces that the 75th Annual Hunger Games will feature not kids but former winners from each of the Districts. Having faced the Arena just the previous year, Katniss and Peeta must return to the Hunger Games once more and...

The ban on a 9-year-old girl taking photos of her school meals for a blog has been lifted, following a protest campaign on Twitter. Martha Payne, from Argyll, used the NeverSeconds blog to document and rate the quality of food at her school canteen. But she was told by the school that she could no longer take photos of her meals and post them on the blog, leading to outrage on microblogging site Twitter. Argyll and Bute Council said that after a picture from the blog appeared in the Daily Record newspaper alongside the headline "Time to fire the dinner ladies...", catering staff at Lochgilphead Primary School had started to fear for their jobs. However, Scotland's education secretary Mike Russell branded the ban "daft", and called for it to be overturned. The protest campaign has prompted council leader Roddy McCuish to tell the BBC that (more)...

Music can make an average ad great. So why, Robin Hicks asks, is music the last thing a creative thinks about when writing an ad?
My favourite TV ad of the year so far is the Let Yourself Go spot for Kangaroo Island.
When it didn’t win Mumbrella’s Ad of the Month for March (it came third) I felt aggrieved for the agency that made it. But less so a week later when it emerged that the agency had paid celebrities to tweet nice things about its work.
Let Yourself Go is a stunning spot with lots of pretty images. But it would probably have had a similar effect on me if I’d watched a blank screen for 60 seconds.
John Baker of Adelaide ad agency Kwp!, which made the ad, told me that the music (Rise by Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder) “is 50% of the communication”. For me,...

The Sabretooth Vampire will make its Dark Horse Comics debut, it has been announced. The webcomic character will appear in the Dark Horse Presents anthology. Mike Russell's comic centres on the tragic little undead monster, whose entire life is hampered by his overdeveloped fangs. "One of the first books that got me into comics in the '90s was the original black-and-white Dark Horse Presents - back when it was serializing stuff like Sin City and The One Trick Rip-Off and Hellboy: The Wolves of Saint August," said Russell. "So as you can imagine, getting to submit a few strips for Dhp was a huge moment for me personally as well as professionally. > 'Ghost' resurrected by Kelly Sue DeConnick, Phil Noto for Dark Horse (more)...

From the Press Release:
The Sabertooth Vampire (website here) is a webcomic about a tiny vampire hampered by his giant fangs. Will he pull his teeth out of the ground long enough to actually bite someone? Probably not.
“One of the first books that got me into comics in the Nineties was the original black-and-white Dark Horse Presents — back when it was serializing stuff like Sin City and The One Trick Rip-Off and Hellboy: The Wolves of Saint August,” said Russell. “So as you can imagine, getting to submit a few strips for Dhp was a huge moment for me personally as well as professionally.”
Russell has collected the Sabertooth Vampire in two self-published minicomics: the 28-page Beware the Sabre-Toothed Vampire and the 56-page Sabertooth Vampire Unleashed.

On this week’s very special edition of Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider, Jeff Bayer is in Africa, doing goodness knows what, but do not fear! He and Eric D. Snider pre-taped some stuff before he left, so the show still has your recommended daily allowance of Bayer. They both liked “Hanna” pretty well. In the studio, Mike Russell (@culturepulp on Twitter) and Snider agreed that “Arthur” is passable but nothing special. Via Skype, Matt Patches (@misterpatches) told us about “Soul Surfer,” and he and Snider expressed their disappointment in “Your Highness.” Then: pre-taped Pitch Me, with Henry Winkler and Natalie Portman! And all was well in the land.

Russell Brand's remake is 'a sporadically charming riff,' critics say.

Russell Brand in "Arthur"
Photo: Warner Bros.
In the summer of 1981, legendary New York Times film critic Vincent Canby called "Arthur" a "terrifically engaging, high-spirited screwball comedy." The movie would go on to become the fourth-highest-grossing film of the year and nab four Oscar nominations, including one for its star, Dudley Moore.
Russell Brand's 2011 remake of the classic comedy is neither attracting the critical plaudits nor anticipating the boffo box office performance and awards season love of its predecessor. Which is not to say critics have found nothing to celebrate in this new "Arthur." Most reviewers have responded positively to Brand's performance. What they take issue with is the deviations the new movie has taken from the original — not so much in a storytelling sense, but in thematic and comedic ones. For those critiques and more,...

This week on Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider … it’s the most chaotic show we’ve ever done! Join us for chills, spills and special guest star Mike Russell! Eric was stranded at the airport, so we had Mike fill in while talking about “Paul” starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and the voice of Seth Rogen. While Mike liked it a little more than Jeff, the one thing that they both agreed on is that you should lower your expectations. Then Eric joined on a cell phone from Portland International Airport. Yes, the idea had its problems. Jeff talked about “Limitless” starring Bradley Cooper and what a nice surprise it was. After that is was all things SXSW. The boys quickly recapped their adventures at the film festival and the movies they saw. We’re continuing the Qotw “What movie alien would you want to land in your backyard and why?...

Normally I approach "fan-made" remixes (be they audio, textual, or visual) with a grain of salt, a little charity, and a general sense of disinterest. But it took me less than ten minutes of Fatboy Robert's recent release -- Geek: Remixed III -- before I realized how impressive this stuff was. My first exposure to his music was via the excellent Portland cartoonist / film critic / bon vivant Mike Russell. My reaction? "I love this Mario Bros. track because it's not ironic."
Mr. Roberts was truly enjoying the goofy little Mario ditty, and he wanted to make it sound a little, well, funkier. But then he approached movie music masters like John Williams, Ennio Morricone, and Jerry Goldsmith with the same amount of respect; Fatboy's additions actively complement the already-excellent music that we know and love. This is not an over-caffeinated kid who is blaring noises...

This week on Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider, Eric is once again off gallivanting (and watching movies) at the Sundance Film Festival. We bring in Mike Russell from the Oregonian to discuss Jason Statham’s new action movie “The Mechanic.” After he leaves, Jeff quickly runs through “The Rite” starring Anthony Hopkins (in a supporting role). Jeff wasn’t too keen on either one of them. After that it’s all things Oscar, talking about those films and people who missed out on a nomination, as well as Eric’s good times in Sundance. We also say goodbye to our Winnipeg fan (thanks to Kevin Smith), so now our Winnipeg is up for grabs and worth a free Blu-ray. Plus, send it your answers to the Qotw “What two women would you like to see star in a film together, and what would it be about?” Our favorite...

Critics weigh in on the latest, and possibly greatest, sequel to the 1987 sci-fi thriller.

The filmmakers behind the new movie "Predators" decided to pretend the last three movies in the sci-fi horror franchise never happened and instead set their story as if it takes place directly after the 1987 original. That was probably a wise call on their part, seeing as each successive "Predator" installment was less beloved, culminating with the disgraceful mash-up "Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem."
How beloved will "Predators" ultimately be? With the film opening on Friday (July 9), reviews have been pouring in, and they're largely positive — if not on par with the original, then respectably, satisfyingly close. Let's take a deep dive into the "Predators" reviews to see what people are saying.

The Antarctic murder mystery Whiteout was a wipe-out this weekend, with almost universally negative reviews and a sixth-place debut at the box office. The movie's lousy -- here's Cinematical's scathing report, courtesy of Peter Hall -- but by most accounts the graphic novel it's based on, written by Greg Rucka and drawn by Steve Lieber, is pretty good. In conjunction with that, Portland film critic and cartoonist Mike Russell interviewed Lieber (who's also a Portlander -- lots of comic book people here) about the process of drawing the book and seeing it turned into a movie. Russell adapted this conversation into an edition of his "Culture Pulp" comic, which appears occasionally in the Oregonian newspaper and online at Russell's website.
As is often the case with bad movies, the behind-the-scenes stories for Whiteout are fascinating. Wolfgang Petersen (Air Force One, The Perfect Storm) expressed interest in making a film version...
