Jonathan Carroll is one of, and perhaps the first writer who went on that list of “all I need to know is that the book is out” authors. I don’t need to know what it’s about. I don’t need to know where or when it takes place. I don’t need to know if it’s called fantasy, mystery, horror or science fiction – because such questions, such words, cannot contain Carroll.
Frannie McCabe is the chief of police in Crane’s View, New York, a town he grew up in and the town he’d happily die in if given the chance, not that death was something that was on his mind until the death of an odd dog that he took in at his office.

For better or worse, Hugh Jackman's cinematic Wolverine is the most common Wolverine cosplay. Because of the difficulty of making the mask and costume, and the relative simplicity of jeans and a tank top, there is a major imbalance. To present the widest array of Wolverine cosplay I've been a lot more selective on the cinematic versions, so a lot of good stuff was cut to present more variety.
If you've got good cosplay or think I missed something, send it our way.

Recently a bunch of items from the Man of Steel set showed up on various auction lists. For those that don't know this is pretty standard Hollywood procedure. Included on the list were a bunch of items used by Lois Lane including 3 straws, 3 blue pens, 2 hi-lighters, a post-it pad, pencils, a Rent-a-car receipt and a (faux) diamond wedding ring. All usual stuff...wait diamond wedding ring? In all seriousness, this raises some interesting possibilities for Amy Adams' can-do reporter gal. Is it possible that Lois is divorced in Man of Steel or engaged to someone else? In comic book history, Lois has dated a few other men besides Clark Kent including Jonathan Carroll (DCnU), Lex Luthor and a couple of others (help me out in the comments section, it's late and I'm drawing a blank). There's also the possibility that the ring...

Awesome picture above right? You are looking at Jessica and Jonathan Carroll who recently got married and showed the world their love for DC Comics. Who says you can't have a Elegant And Geeky wedding in one?
Jonathan and his friends were decked out in "the finest Krypton robes this side of the yellow sun." Though the body suits were store bought, Jonathan actually made the robes himself. The House of El crests were produced by Wildwood Studios (based on the design featured in Superman Returns).
Jessica still wanted the traditional white wedding gown but that does not mean she did not incorporate Harley in other ways.
My dress was not geek inspired per-say, as I wanted a traditional look, however my colors for the wedding were based on Harley Quinn (red and black) and my bouquet was red flowers with white bounce pearls to represent the pompoms of Harley's collar and hat.

[1] Now that the story of Snow White has been picked clean by three [2] different [3] movie [4] projects, Hollywood's got its sights on another fairy tale: Cinderella. Last year, Disney bought [5] a pitch for a live-action retelling, to be directed by Mark Romanek from a script by Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada). Now we're getting news about a competing project from Universal, one of the players in the great Snow White movie race of 2011. Ann Peacock (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) has been tapped to write a screenplay based on the classic story, with Bruno Aveillan set to helm. Read more after the jump. Peacock is in final talks to rewrite the script, an earlier draft of which was penned by Michael Dougherty (Trick 'r Treat). The film will mark the feature film debut for Aveillan, whose previous work has been mostly in commercials.

Second week of Dungeon Manual, a boring unrecommendable blog I’ve been working.
This week I talked about NPR’s Top 100 Science Fiction and Fantasy poll, discussing 5 books that really tug at me that I didn’t see in the top 100. I’ve received some feedback and surprised and relieved at the Caine love I’ve seen. Hope for badass fiction! On the otherhand, kind of shocked at people thinking Tim Powers, Jonathan Carroll, and Patricia McKillip are obscure. I’ll give you Stepan Chapman, but anyone who reads Sf/F should know who the first 3 are. A Science Fiction 5 is coming soon!
I shared my thoughts on Jim Butcher’s latest Dresden Files entry, Ghost Story. Look, I know going in fans are going to love everything, but I thought this was a letdown compared to the awesome that was Changes, his last effort. There were some positives though,...

Superman #1 is to introduce a new love interest for Lois Lane. DC Comics has revealed that the Daily Planet reporter will date a co-worker named Jonathan Carroll in the relaunched title, the New York Daily News reports. "Superman is one of the World's Greatest Super Heroes, but he can't have it all," said DC co-publisher Jim Lee. "Many of us know what it's like to be the odd man out and we think readers will have a soft spot for Clark when they see his reaction to Lois's new boyfriend." (more)...

Buoyed by one nifty title character, "Hannah", an offbeat political thriller from Reinhard Schwabenitzky ("An Almost Perfect Affair"), emerged as a certified crowd-pleaser at the recent Nortel Palm Springs International Film Festival, where it received its U.S. premiere.
Austria's Oscar submission for best foreign-language film, the caper stars Schwabenitzky collaborator Elfi Eschke as an irrepressible publicist who lands a dream job at a toy company only to uncover some nasty neo-Nazi activity lurking just beyond the shelves full of cute dolls and teddy bears.
The film should do some solid art-house business once it lines up a domestic distribution deal.
Eschke's Hannah Fischer is a zaftig dynamo with a strongly independent spirit who manages to pleasantly take others aback with her no-nonsense approach to life. One such admirer is Wolfgang Heck (August Zirner), the handsome junior executive director of the Hochstedt Co., where Hannah has just secured a director of marketing gig.
Unfortunately, just as their little love affair blossoms, Hannah inadvertently discovers that the prominent toy company is actually a front for a faction of racist extremists headed up by Heck's uncle (Jurgen Hentsch) and father (David Cameron). Sharing her discovery with a newspaper reporter friend (Max Tidof), Hannah, herself the child of a Jewish parent, soon finds herself embroiled in political intrigue with wide-reaching ramifications.
Schwabenitzky's script (co-written by Susanne Ayoub with an assist from Jonathan Carroll) runs the gamut from snappy romantic comedy to dark political thriller. And while the gear-shifting goes relatively smoothly, it's still a bit of a leap, particularly when it reaches its cautionary-tale, anti-fascist finale. Nimbly keeping it all together is Eschke, an actress who alternately manages to convey a earthy joie de vivre and a deep-seated melancholy with the blink of an eye. An ideal match, both actress and character are richly deserving of a return engagement.
Other performances are also strong, highlighted by love interest Zirner's portrayal of an executive whose charming demeanor is masking a troubling secret; and Hentsch (also seen during the festival in the powerful "The Deathmaker") as the toy company's cold-blooded commander.
