Arriving Pre-Spoiled: Why Prequels Suck

BSG spinoff Caprica launches next Friday, but as good as its opening episodes may be (And they are), we’re still worried. Why? Because it’s a prequel, and if science fiction has taught us one thing, it’s that prequels generally suck. It’s easy to point to the Star Wars prequels as an example of the inherent…

Why Can’t We Let The Movie Spider-Man Grow Up?

So Sony have dumped Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire, and plan to reboot the Spider-Man movie franchise by taking Peter Parker back to his high school days to start all over. Sounds like half of a great idea, at least. I actually have nothing against bringing in new people to make the next Spider-movie, especially…
