Magic Trek!
There’s an expression in fan chat rooms and message boards that has fallen a little by the wayside. It refers to when a classic series is updated or “improved” to be made more palatable for a modern audience. I refer, of course to: “Eat it, Grandpa!” a sort of a battle cry for those who [...]

Issue 85 - A Shaved Chest For The Ladies (The Wolverine Review) [50:34m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadThe Spirit is Willing…on DVD

The LA Times blog Hero Complex, has posted an interview with Beyonce where she claims to want to play Wonder Woman.
While we here at TUG believe that she has the legs for the part, we question whether she has the (acting) chops. Not that we are kidding ourselves and somehow believe that WW would be [...]
