R.I.P. Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek)

Read More Nichelle Nichols Finally, did you know that Nichelle Nichols (the actress that plays Lieutenant Uhura) have released not one, but two albums ? I actually didn't know she was a recording artist until I started doing research for this article. …

Nichelle Nichols, who portrayed communications officer Uhura from the original Star Trek series, has died on Saturday. She was 89 years old.

We did see her at Wizard World Minneapolis in 2017, but were not allowed to take her photo. To be honest, I thought she looked worse for wear, requiring an assistant and wheelchair to get around.

For Star Trek and music fans, Nichelle Nichols releaesd two albums, Down to Earth and Out of This World.

Variety noted Nichols’ landmark moment:

Nichols shared one of the first interracial kisses in television history on “Star Trek.” That moment, with her co-star William Shatner, was a courageous move on the part of her, “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry and NBC considering the climate at the time, but the episode “Plato’s Stepchildren,” which aired in 1968, was written to give all involved an out: Uhura and Captain Kirk did not choose to kiss but were instead made to do so involuntarily by aliens with the ability to control the movements of humans. Nevertheless, it was a landmark moment.

There had been a couple of interracial kisses on American television before. A year earlier on “Movin’ With Nancy,” Sammy Davis Jr. kissed Nancy Sinatra on the cheek in what appeared to be a spontaneous gesture but was in fact carefully planned. The Uhura-Kirk kiss was likely the first televised white/African American lip-to-lip kiss.

Remakes and Reboots

Read More Zatoichi The Zatoichi series ran 26 movies (1962-1982) and a television series ran for five years (1974-1979). Twenty years later, Takeshi "Beat" Kitano reinvented Zatoichi with his version of the character. ....

DEFIANT (2022)
douban.com

Defiant (目中无人), aka Blind Sword, a 2022 Chinese movie, is clearly a rip off of Zatoichi. You know me, I love Zatoichi, I own all of Toho’s films on DVD and Bluray (thanks to the Criterion boxset), and even owning the television series and later stories: Zatoichi (2003), Ichi (Zatoichi’s blind daughter!), and Zatoichi: The Last (the final film in the official Zatoichi series).

Of course, the new Chinese film isn’t the first to copy Zatoichi, in America, we had Blind Fury in 1989, about a blind Vietnam Vet with a cane sword and in Italy, we had Blindman, a Spaghetti Western about a blind gunman.

Defiant is about a blind master swordsman and ex-military general. It has all the traits of Zatoichi, for example you find him in a gambling den at the start of the film. Of course, he has the advantage, despite being blind. Then you have the goons at the establishment trying to rob the blind gambler of his money - big mistake!

The whole thing really felt like a Chinese version of a Zatoichi movie. The only difference is that instead of a pretense of a bumbling blind masseur, the Defiant character is a blind bounty hunter by day. And he seems sure of himself, walking around, with his horse, like a normal person.

I think the writer/director of the film counted on their audience to not know Zatoichi, so when Defiant reveals the swords in the cane, it was no surprise to me… but I bet everyone in China thought that was a really cool reveal.

Defiant has some cool fight scenes, especially the big throw-down finale, but it also has some typical, cheesy moments (any scenes with the young bride).

There’s nothing wrong with Defiant, especially if you know it’s a Chinese version of Zatoichi, but I wish it would do a little more to set it apart from the source material. For example, a few years ago, South Korea released The Swordsman, about the country’s best swordsman, who became blind. No one could accuse the film of copying Zatoichi, as the South Korean film is very different than a typical Zatoichi adventure.

My other complaint about Defiant is that the main character is so sure of himself, so confident in his Kung Fu abilities, that, you, as an audience, never thought he could be in any real danger. Even during the scenes with him being hit with arrows… I never thought he could die. With the original Zatoichi, he let others thinks his blindness is a disadvantage… so he plays the bumbling idiot. It’s only in a real fight does Zatoichi shows his true deadly sword skills… and by that time, it’s too late for the villains.

Maybe it is unfair to compare Defiant to Zatoichi, but given how much material the Chinese film stole from the source, I think it’s fair game to criticize it a little.

FIRESTARTER (2022)
firestartermovie.com

Like Carrie and Pet Sematary, no one asked for a remake of Firestarter… yet, here we are, with the 2022 horror film, based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King.

I actually like and enjoy the original 1984 film starring a young Drew Barrymore, so I was highly skeptical that this new version could be better than the first film. The main problem is that it was produced by one of the worst writer/producer, Akiva Goldsman. Goldsman is responsible for the terrible Batman & Robin, and he’s also responsible for ruining Star Trek. Yes, I used to be a massive Star Trek fan, but the modern Trek stuff is absolutely terrible.

Anyway, due to the pandemic, Blumhouse Productions and Weed Road Pictures put Firestarter on hold until Universal Pictures finally released it in May 2022, simultaneously in theaters and on Peacock.

Naturally, the film received negative reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes, shows only 10% of critics’ reviews were positive.

I think the worst part of the movie are the villains. The new person in charge of the government tracking down Charlie the Firestarter is now played by a woman. While women can be as evil as men, I didn’t understand why it was necessary to make the original white man into a black woman? The bounty hunter is now played by an American Indian named Michael Greyeyes (the original 1984 film featured an assassin named John Rainbird).

Perhaps you’re not meant to “hate” the villains, but, to me, to make the film effective, you have to make the villains evil, so you don’t feel bad when they are nuked by Charlie.

Read More Liam Neeson Based on Lawrence Block’s bestselling series of mystery novels, A Walk Among the Tombstones stars Liam Neeson as Matt Scudder, an ex-NYPD cop who now works as an unlicensed private investigator operating just outside the law. ....

MEMORY (2022)
memorymov.com

Liam Neeson plays a hitman with a heart of gold in Memory. The hitman, suffering from early stages of Alzheimer, decides to make things right after declining a contract to kill a young girl. The 2022 film is based the Belgian film The Alzheimer Case.

Maybe it is because it is based on the film (turned novel De Zaak Alzheimer by Jef Geeraerts), but I did not like any of the characters in the film (except, of course, the incredibly smart hitman). Guy Pearce plays a really dumb detective/policeman, Monica Bellucci plays a wealthy mother, covering up her son’s crimes.

What I do love about Memory is just how amazing Liam Neeson is on screen. Even though the actor is in his 70s, he was still an action star, to me. For example, his brutal, brutal fight scene with the hitman in the parking lot is just so gritty and real. I really did believe Neeson could destroy a man with his bare hands.

As amazing as Neeson is, he really couldn’t save the movie. The story is predictable, and all the other characters, such as the cops, are portrayed as idiots and not well written.

As a big Neeson fan, I really hope this is not his last film, as his career will end on a bad note.

I’ll just say that Memory is a forgettable film.

Clockology

Read More Apple I didn’t intend to get it, but after contemplating about the Black Friday prices for the new Apple Watch SE for about $200, I couldn’t pass it up. As you know, starting last year, Apple ....

One of my biggest complaint about the Apple Watch was that there weren’t many official face options for your watch. While that remains true, I have since discovered Clockology. This changes everything.

With Clockology, you can create any sort of clock face that you want. I have downloaded a few from the internet, and I’ve modified a few of them for my needs.

The app is very powerful and contains a lot of nice perks. The only drawback is that weather and certain features are not available on the non-paid version. Normally, I wouldn’t mind paying once for a feature, but unfortunately, it’s currently subscription-based (about $20 a year).

Since I don’t have access to weather, I’ve removed a lot of those features when I tweaked these clock faces.

The other thing about Clockology is that it is really clunky how to get it to work.I’ll summarize, you need to download a special “enable beta” file. Once you download the file, you need to “Watch Sync” … and voila, the Clockology will now work on your watch.

Since it’s an app on your watch, you need to keep Clockology running… which means you might have to look in your settings to let it run in the background and so on.

So, I take it back, regarding limited clock faces for the Apple Watch. Now with the Clockology app, it’s unlimited what I can do… and now my new problem is deciding which clock face to use! I’m partial to the Star Trek’s LCARS or Fallout’s Pip Boy.

Anyway, I have put together a few of my favorite Clockology clock faces that I’ve downloaded and tweaked to my needs. Download here: drive.google.com.

DAVID DUCHOVNY
davidduchovnymusic.com

If you’re an X-Files fan, you should check out actor/musician David Duchovny’s third album Gestureland (GMG/Westbound Kyd). This is the follow-up to his 2018 album, Every Third Thought.

Talking about the record, Duchovny said, “The album represents three years of song writing over which time I think we developed into a band so there’s a stronger element of deep collaboration here. The songs are obviously inspired by present day life and problems but we hope to make them universal. We also stretch our sound a little ——getting both heavier and lighter at different times. You want to know which songs are about me. None of them. They’re about you.”

Duchovny is referencing to the fact that it was a challenge to get is his band, featuring Colin Lee on keys, Pat McCusker on guitars and synths, Mitchell Stewart on bass, Keenan O’Meara on guitars, and Davis Rowan on drums, together to finally record the album.

Guitarist McCusker adds, “shortly after our time at Outlier, the pandemic hit. After a month or so of being in full lockdown mode, we started recording overdubs and vocals at our studio in Long Island City. To have our own space to be able to finish Gestureland safely throughout 2020 was a blessing. The more we’ve all worked together, the more we’re all taking risks and tapping into new influences."

Stay tuned, as Duchovny mentioned that there will be a tour to promote the record. If there is an announcement, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.

WILLIAM SHATNER
williamshatner.com

Award-winning actor, director, producer, writer, and chart-topping recording artist… and recently oldest man in outer space, William Shatner recently released his new album BILL, via Joe Jonas’ new label Let’s Get It! Records/Republic Records.

I’ll confess to owning a few Shatner albums, mostly because I am a big Star Trek fan, and the one thing I can tell you is that he does not actually sing on his albums. I’ve described it as “acting” out the songs. It’s amazing.

From what I’ve read about this new album, it’s more or less spoken word: “Through spoken word and genre-bending music, the songs on BILL chronicle significant autobiographical moments in William Shatner’s life and the ideas, challenges, and questions he’s confronted along the way. The tracks were co-written and produced by Grammy Award-winner Dan Miller [They Might Be Giants], while the lyrics were a collaboration between Shatner and his friend and writer Robert Sharenow. In addition to Joe Jonas and Brad Paisley, BILL features guitarist Joe Walsh [James Gang, Eagles, Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band], pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph [Robert Randolph and the Family Band], musician John Lurie, saxophonist Dave Koz, and more.”

So, the coolest thing is that you can get an autographed from Sutherland for the new album, all for regular $13 price, available for pre-order on Amazon. I would recommend the pre-order, as Sutherland will likely only sign a limited number of CD and Amazon will list it as “Sold Out” once they’ve reached their cap.

A few years ago, I bought a Belle & Sebastian signed CD from Amazon. Best purchase I’ve ever made. It’s incredible hard to get all six band members together to sign something… and yes it immediately sold out.

TV: Devs and Star Trek: Picard

Still under relatively lockdown, and now with the George Floyd riots, I’ve been staying mostly indoors and watching long-form television shows.

With Scott Pilgrim vs the World returning to theaters for its 10 year anniversary in August 2020… Here are two recent Sex Bob-omb’s drummer Alison Pill’s Sci-Fi shows you can watch now… although I don’t recommend one of them.

Read More Movies The British horror film 28 Days Later came out at a time (2002) that there was a dry-spell in the Zombie movie genre. This film may have inspired the term “fast zombies” (all George Romero’s zombie films have always been slow-moving zombies)… …

DEVS
fxnetworks.com

I think the show’s title, Devs, is a bad one. I didn’t know what that title would imply, and it took a lot of recommendations from friends and family, before I begrudgingly decided to check it out. Spoiler alert, I really love Devs.

Going beyond the fantastic science fiction of a computer that can map the past (and therefore apply it to see the future)… the show is really about a love story. You don’t realize it’s a love story, until it hits you, and you noticed that all the clues were there.

All the actors were amazing, particularly Sonoya Mizuno as Lily Chan and Jin Ha as Jamie. Two Asian leads and they really carry the show.

I don’t think there will be a Devs Season 2, nor do I want one, as the ending to Season 1 is so good and wraps up the show nicely. Some shows shouldn’t go on more than one season, like Watchmen.

If you don’t take my word for it, take the writer/director/show runner Alex Garland’s body of work. He wrote: The Beach, 28 Days Later, Sunshine , Never Let Me Go, and Dredd. For the most part, I have enjoyed most of his films (particularly Dredd and 28 Days Later). I also own his directorial debut for Ex Machina.

P.S. Scott Pilgrim Sex Bob-omb’s drummer Alison Pill stars in Dev.

About:

In Devs, an FX limited series, a young software engineer, Lily Chan, investigates the secret development division of her employer, a cutting-edge tech company based in Silicon Valley, which she believes is behind the murder of her boyfriend.

Devs stars Sonoya Mizuno as “Lily Chan;” Nick Offerman as “Forest,” the CEO of Amaya; Jin Ha as “Jamie,” Lily’s former boyfriend; Karl Glusman as “Sergei,” Lily’s boyfriend; Zach Grenier as “Kenton,” Amaya’s Head of Security; Stephen McKinley Henderson as “Stewart,” one of the top minds working in Amaya’s secret development division; Cailee Spaeny as the young, brilliant “Lyndon;” and Alison Pill as “Katie,” the gifted quantum physicist and second in command at Amaya.

Alex Garland writes, directs and serves as executive producer of Devs along with Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich of DNA TV, Scott Rudin, Eli Bush and Garrett Basch. The series is produced by FX Productions.

STAR TREK: PICARD
cbs.com

As many of you already know, I’m a longtime Trekker, and so, originally, I was excited about Star Trek: Discovery, you quickly realize this new Star Trek by Alex Kurtzman, is definitely not the Star Trek I wanted. It’s like whoever is making new Star Trek don’t understand the franchise creator Gene Roddenberry’s idea of a bright future.

ST:D Season 2 is one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen. You have characters saying “I like science!” to a bomb that destroys everything except for a “blast door”. It’s just stupid. Red Letter Media did a pretty good job making fun of it on their YouTube. You can tell they’re fans, who thought the new Star Trek so overdramatic and had terrible writing.

I gave Star Trek: Picard a chance, of course. ST:P is simply the worst Star Trek in my ranking… yes, even worst than Star Trek: Enterprise. Even though I didn’t love Enterprise, I still own the Bluray and DVDs, because I love Science Fiction and Star Trek. With new Star Trek, I just refuse to buy the DVDs or Blurays, because I’ve no interest in owning these depressing new Star Trek.

ST:P continues this dark universe, characters like Raffi is living as “white trash” trailer and addicted to drugs. Romulans can just teleport anywhere … why not teleport the characters out to their death prison or something? Plus, the most unforgiving thing about new Star Trek is that they say the F-word. Star Trek has always been all-ages. This new Star Trek is not for children.

Picard is just a bad show, I am not going to recommend it for Sci-Fi fans… and especially if you like Star Trek. If you like Star Trek, there is a show called The Orville, which is a Star Trek knock off… but they have an understanding of classic Star Trek. Or if you just want realistic Sci-Fi, The Expanse is an excellent show.

PS, Sex Ba-bomb’s drummer Alison Pill plays Agnes Jurati, an expert on synthetic life, is part of Picard’s crew.

About:

Star Trek: Picard features Sir Patrick Stewart reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard, which he played for seven seasons on Star Trek: The Next Generation. The new series will follow this iconic character into the next chapter of his life.

The series is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment. Alex Kurtzman, Michael Chabon, Akiva Goldsman, James Duff, Patrick Stewart, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth serve as executive producers and Aaron Baiers (Secret Hideout) serves as co-executive producer and Kirsten Beyer as supervising producer. Hanelle Culpepper will direct the first two episodes of the series.

Sci-Fi and Fantasy Television shows of 2019

Watchmen Read More Watchmen Anyway, I'll be taking it easy today, maybe re-read The Watchmen as I just saw the movie in theater over the weekend and was really impressed. As an old comic book fan (especially when it comes to the genius of Alan Moore), I loved it - …

Read more Television.

WATCHMEN
hbo.com/watchmen

HBO’s Watchmen Television show is possibly my favorite TV show of 2019.

The TV show expands on the influential Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons comic book… and it totally works. Instead of re-telling the story in a television format (like how the movie retold the graphic novel), what the show producers did was tell a different story – one set 30 years after the original event. And they honor the original work, by keep in the giant squid monster and going with that idea (in the movie, they changed the ending). It’s clear to me, based on all the homages that the writers all knew (and are fans) of the source material. It’s the love of those things that expands into their story.

One of the coolest thing they did in the show was give Hooded Justice an origin story. And you’ll never guess who and why he wears the hood! It’s unbelievable smart how they answered all the questions you may or may not have about the first “super hero”. In the comic book, they reference the original Minutemen, but you never really got much of a back story for any of those characters… so it’s very cool that the TV show explored Hooded Justice.

As a big fan of the graphic novel, I’m going to have to give it a big thumbs up. I love the comic book, and seeing that story taken to the next step, I love it. Unfortunately, I feel sometime that fans unfamiliar with the comic book (or have only seen the movie), might not fully enjoy all the little Easter “Eggs”, or somewhat complicated plot in the show. The show might be too clever for the average viewer.

I don’t think show creator, Damon Lindelof, should do a Season 2, there’s really no good reasons for them to continue this story.

Witcher Read More The Witcher I also picked up The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, at Walmart, which came with a lot of bonus items like a DVD and Soundtrack (all at the normal cost of a game product). They are on the right track, I definitely …

WITCHER
netflix.com

Critics absolutely hates Netflix’s The Witcher. The reason is that they don’t generally love the source material (a series of fantasy books) and they don’t play the video games. Since they don’t know the books or games, there’s a disconnect and they’re just lost and confused. One critic was so bored, he or she skipped a few episodes to get the plot moving. One critic just cringed at all the nudity.

Sure, there’s nudity, and actress Anya Chalotra (Yennefer) is very comfortable in her birthday suit, but who cares? I didn’t mind it and I think it’s true to the Witcher universe.

I think the biggest problem I have with the show is that I might know too much about the world of the Witcher (via the CD Projekt Red’s games) and was very disappointed to see that the actress (Anna Shaffer) that played Triss Merigold isn’t a redhead (as seen in the game).

I also have a certain vision of Ciri (from the game) that didn’t entirely matched with actress Freya Allan. I know not everyone is going look like the video game, but c’mon, Henry Cavill, is a straight match for the video game version of Geralt of Rivia, even down his “hmph” and talking to Roach, his horse.

I guess it just comes down to if the actress is good, it shouldn’t matter what they look like.

Anyway, the wide divide of critics vs fans is obvious to me - this genre television is meant for fans and clearly not directed to “professional” critics. If you look at Rotten Tomatoes, this divide is also seen in The Orville (fans love it, critics hated it) and Batwoman (fans hated it, critics loved it). As a fan of the game and television, I would have to think that the critics just don’t understand.

Expanse Season 4 Read More The Expanse Song of the Show: "Heroes" by David Bowie BONUS: The Walking Dead: Season 6 (part one), The Expanse. …

EXPANSE
amazon.com

Possibly the best Science Fiction television show on air right now is The Expanse (no, it’s not Star Trek: Discovery). As I previously mentioned, I love this show.

In the world of the Expanse, there are three major factions: Earth, Mars, and the Belters… and the show is so smart (or rather the books it was based on is so smart), that it looks the long-term effect of living without gravity, etc.

Originally, SyFy produced the show. It was probably too expensive for the network and probably wasn’t worth what they were paying for their audience. The show looks fantastic, and the stories are amazing.

Admittedly, the show does take a little patience. The first three season of the Expanse is actually just the “setup” to what the Expanse is really about! It’s so epic, that it took that long to get to the point. Unfortunately, right when they got to the new worlds - SyFy cancelled the series!

There was a massive campaign, put on by the fans, to get another network to continue the series. Through a random chance meeting with the cast, Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos, he decided to just finance the fourth season!

The fourth season sees our favorite crew, James Holden and his crew (Naomi Nagata, Alex Kamal, and Amos Burton) investigating this new planet. There’s complications, of course, Belters vs the Earths (Royal Charter Energy), and Holden caught in the middle.

My biggest complaint about Season 4 is that it seemed like a really short story. They’re basically stuck on this planet and eventually in these ancient ruins (built by the original creators).

My other complaint is the storyline with Bobbie Draper on Mars. It just felt like it wasn’t going anywhere… I know eventually her path will lead back to Holden, but it’s not in Season 4.

I love seeing Detective Joe Miller back, and I love the new villain, head security Adolphus Murtry. Although, if you ask him, he doesn’t think he’s the bad guy, he’s only looking to protect his crew.

Anyway, give me more Expanse!

Mr Robot Season 4 Read More Mr Robot After resisting the television show Mr Robot on USA Network, I gave in and watched the first season. It was pretty good, it did remind me of plot from Fight Club... and despite figuring out the “twist” midway into the first season …

MR ROBOT
usanetwork.com

I love Mr Robot. After a long two-year break, I was ready to get back into Mr Robot on its final season.

Unfortunately, I have not been loving Season 4 at all. I feel like maybe they kept digging a hole in the story, especially since they setup one lone hacker, Elliot Alderson against the Dark Army (a cyber-terrorist organization of hardcore killers and assassins). There’s no contest… and the only reason why Elliot is alive is that BD Wong (aka Whiterose) is allowing him to live.

I understand it’s just a television show, but I’ve always thought the story and characters were grounded in reality and I can relate to the interesting hacks that Elliot was pulling off.

With Season 4, the story appears to take place in the course of a day or two days - leading up to Christmas. In those few days, you see that Elliot does sleep or eat all day! There was that getting lost in a park in the middle of nowhere, the big police chase, getting kidnapped, and then the big White Rose hack. I mean, take a break from getting hit by a car and falling down a bridge!!! It’s just hard to believe.

The show also feels very different, starting with the episode with Darlene and Dominique. That ending of will they or won’t they make it on the plane is just awful. It’s like some bad romantic comedy.

Then there’s this alternate dimension episode, which felt really out of place for Mr Robot! I couldn’t believe it, and it just didn’t make any sense.

The final two episodes will air tonight (December 22nd), and, as of this writing, I have not seen it yet… but I’m not exactly looking forward to finding out how it will end.

Wizard World at Minneapolis Convention Center (05-07 May 2017)

Wizard World Shows May 19-21 Des Moines Jun 1-4 Philadelphia Jun 16-18 Sacramento Jul 14-16 Albuquerque Aug 4-6 Columbus Aug 11-13 Orlando Aug 24-27 Chicago Sep 8-10 Nashville Sep 22-24 Madison Oct 27-29 Oklahoma City Nov 17-19 Austin Jan 5-7, 2018 New Orleans Read More Wizard World Minneapolis The fourth annual Wizard World Minneapolis is over. Come back later for reviews, in the meantime, here are some photographs from day two and three combined. Saturday’s costume contest was, as usual, a great way to end the day …

Wizard World Minneapolis took place last weekend (May 5-7) at the Minneapolis Convention Center. We’ve already posted a zillion photos, talked about the great cosplayers and music.

Before we talk about the various panels, I will touch on some of our general thoughts about the show. Compared to other entertainment gathering, such as the Renaissance Festival, the Wizard World shows offers more entertainment, especially if you have children. If meeting celebrities aren’t your thing, you can still enjoy a magic show, video gaming, or people watching... there’s a little something for everyone.

Of course, we like sitting down to hear our favorite celebrities talk or fans talking about various comic book-related topics. It’s a great place to meet other fans and learn something.

With the exception of the main auditorium (which was only used on Saturday), the majority of panels were held at four rooms on the same level as the main Wizard show floor. This was a big improvement, as previous years, you had to take the escalator or elevator down a floor. The one Creative stage, in the same room as the Entertainment Stage, was not a great choice to hear anything, especially if they were blasting music at the bigger stage.

FRIDAY, MAY 5
For the first night, May 5th, there weren’t any celebrity panels since many of them did not land until Saturday. We did sit through a variety of comic book panels, including “Funny Folks: How to Draw Humor Comics” to hear Bob Camp, Guy Gilchrist, and Phil Ortiz, talk about their work with Ren & Stimpy, The Simpsons, and Nancy. If you’re not familiar with the latter, Nancy is a widely distributed American daily and Sunday comic strip, originally created by Ernie Bushmiller. Although Danny Fingeroth still moderate a few panels, he’s taken a step back with this current Wizard show.

You could learn how to self-publish your comics with Victor Dandridge or how to create your own YouTube channel with RealBreakingNate or character acting with Karl (Captain K) Brevik, the versatile cosplayer swapped identities throughout the weekend, including costumes/personas for Dale Gribble (King of the Hill), J. Jonah Jameson (who also helped judge the costume contest in character) and Sexy Gandalf as part of the Hogwarts panel.

The “Superhero Movies” and “Marvel v DC” panels seemed to go hand-in-hand. We were surprised to learn that local radio personality Brian Oake (of the Current), was a massive die-hard Marvel Comics fan. His guest appearance was a surprise and a delight.

Over in the “First They Came For Batman... Then They Came for Chuck Berry and Prince” a panel about rock music and censorship, with moderator Danny Fingeroth, and Alex Lubet, Scott Currie, and Colleen Doran (who stepped in as a last minute replacement for original guest Barbara Schulz).

SATURDAY, MAY 6
Saturday, was, as usual, the biggest day. Personally speaking, if you had one day to go to Wizard World, make it the Saturday show. The biggest draw are the celebrity panels, which included current Doctor Peter Capaldi. Originally scheduled with co-star Jenna Coleman, but she had to bail out at the last minute for filming conflict.

Capaldi was in great spirit, talking and volunteering some great insights into the world of Doctor Who. His wife, he confessed, was rather “embarrassed” about the nerdiness of it... especially when he would secretly sneak home a Doctor Who magazine every once in a while.

When asked what other shows he’d like to star in, he thought about it and mentioned that he’d like to appear in Game of Thrones, mostly because one of his co-star Maisie Williams (Arya Stark).

On his very first convention appearance, Charlie Sheen was over 30 minutes late to his panel. Winning! When he did appear, with surprise appearance by Kato Kaelin. The OJ Simpson-related personality wasn't announced on the schedules, but ended up hosting the Entertainment Stage for Saturday and Sunday, among other things.

When asked if he’s ever been to Minneapolis, Sheen said he appeared twice, once in 1987 and once in 1997, filming Major League and Major League: Back to the Minors. The follow-up question about those film, Sheen said he’d be delighted to appear in any future Major League sequels.

One of the films that he turned down was Hollow Man, which Kevin Bacon ended up replacing Sheen, because (spoiler alert) the character ended up raping a woman. Kaelin quickly asked what other films he turned down, which we were surprised to learn that he didn’t accept White Men Can’t Jump.

The rest of the day, the auditorium went to the Buffy-verse. Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans gathered around to wait for Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia) and Nicholas Brendon (Xander), and then followed by James Marsters (Spike).

Before the chat, Carpenter requested no videos or photos during the panel. Instead, she would offer us the chance to photograph them before they start talking. A media photographer, who probably missed the announcement, decided to rush to the front of the stage to snag a photo. Immediately, Carpenter pointed him out and asked, “Who are you?” interrupting her train of thought. She really channeled her “inner b**ch” as she puts it. Embarrassingly, the photographer retreated to the back of the stage.

The fans asked the usual questions to these things, like tell us some backstage stories. Xander, who was “behaving” himself, told us about this time that he wasn’t wearing underwear and someone pants him during a scene. He seemed proud that he was so hairy down there, people thought he was wearing a merkin.

James Marsters came on after Carpenter and Brendon left the stage. Personally, it would make sense to include Marsters with the Buffy gang... but seeing as he was a “vampire”, that for whatever reason they had Marsters on his own. Of course, the first thing he did was photographed the crowd for his social media page.

John Barrowman’s One Man Show was entertaining as ever. Barrowman, who came on stage in a dress, actually prepared a series of comedic improvisation show. If you didn’t know, Barrowman is best known as the recurring character Captain Jack Harkness from Doctor Who.

The Nerd Off discussion was also a lot of fun. They pick the topic and have fans debate. Topics includes Star Trek vs Star Wars, Superman vs Dragonballz, and Pokemon vs Digimon. Even if you disagree with the winner of the debate, it’s still very fun to listen to fans fight it out.

Peter Capaldi at Wizard World Minneapolis, Minneapolis Convention Center (06 May 2017)

SUNDAY, MAY 7
Sunday started with a great conversation with Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork of the 60s group and television stars of The Monkees. There were a lot of Monkees fans in the audience, and they all mentioned that they grew up or raising their children to listen to the Monkees’ music.

One of the thing that came out of the discussion was that the actors were musicians (except for Dolenz, but he would later learn), and begged the studio to let them write and play their own songs. The filming schedule was grueling and that also left little or no time to create original music.

When asked about the documentary Daydream Believers, they confirmed the film was accurate, but like most things, it was overly dramatized.

Regarding one of their big hit song, ‘Last Train to Clarksville’, Peter Tork said that he actually forgot to sing the entire lyrics in the middle of the song. When the producers asked them about it, they were so tired they just “la la la” that whole section.

The two reminisce about their successful 50th anniversary Monkees tour and was also happy to venues selling out their shows. Currently, Peter is in Shoe Suede Blues and they are working on a Lead Belly tribute album. Micky will be continuing a solo tour starting in June (starting at the Suffolk Theater in New York).

As a massive Star Trek: The Next Generation fan, we were also really happy to get Marina Sirtis to talk about her days as Counselor Deanna Troi. Originally, they had assigned Tony Kim, but she quickly dismissed him at the start of the panel. She prefer to talk directly to fans.

One of the best questions asked was why her character had a different costume vs standard regulation uniform. While the answer is actually quite long, it came down to the fact that Hollywood thought that she was “fat”, according to Sirtis.

She was very humble and she told us that before she was casted on ST:TNG, she was literally broke and had to fly back to England with an expired VISA. She didn’t have a home in America, so Gene Roddenberry sorted adopted her into their home.

After hearing her entertaining stories, she would put in her final say: that everything she has now is thanks to her fans. It’s the fans that gave her a career, it’s the fans that gave her a life... and she always made sure we knew that.

R.I.P. Anton Yelchin (Star Trek)

Read More Star Trek You know I love Star Trek, so it is a sad day when I saw that original Spock actor Leonard Nimoy is dead. Live long and prosper. .... George Clinton The major headliners are pretty popular (George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic, Michael Franti and Spearhead & The Neville Brothers), but it ....

June is almost over, and the celebrity/musician deaths are skyrocketing... And speaking of rockets, we were pretty shocked to find out that young actor Anton Yelchin, famous for portraying Pavel Chekov in Star Trek, was killed by his car! From what everyone is saying, his Jeep Grand Cherokee had a faulty shift, so he thought he put it in park - when, in fact, it was in neutral. The car slammed into an unsuspecting Yelchin at the bottom of the hill at the gate.

Before Yelchin became a star, he sang and played guitar in a punk band called The Hammerheads, aka The Hammerheads Hollywood (not to be confused with Minneapolis’ noise band Hammerhead or late 80s band The Hammerheads). The band was active from 2008 to 2011, when Yelchin confirmed that the band broke up in 2011.

According to their Reverb Nation:

The Hammerheads punk rock music is primarily written by singer, songwriter, guitarist and accomplished actor Anton Yelchin. Darian Campbell, son of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell, plays lead guitar. Dave Glowacki, from the LA based rock band Romeo Delta, plays bass and vocals. Ryan Dean is an award winning drummer and graduate of CSUN's Jazz program.

The bands influences are The Cramps, Rancid, Blind Willie McTell, John Lee Hooker, and Iggy Pop. They are currently working on their first EP featuring a rocking single called “Girl (not yet) a Woman”.

The EP is actually called The Hammerheads Sh*** On Your Face.

Also dead: Parliament-Funkadelic’s keyboardist Bernie Worrell passed away at the age of 72 on June 24th.

The Stanley Brothers’ Ralph Stanley died at the age of 89 to skin cancer on June 23rd.

Enya's father Leo Brennan died at the age of 90 on June 22nd.

Pakistani Taliban assassinated Amjad Sabri on June 22nd. He was 45.

The Mar-Keys’ Wayne Jackson passed away at the age of 74 to congestive heart failure on June 21st.

ZZ Top’s manager Bill Ham died at the age of 79 on June 18th.

The Mexican The Voice star Alejandro Jano Fuentes was murdered at the age of 45 on June 18th. This is disturbing, considering that The Voice’s star Christina Grimmie was also murdered some weeks ago.

Below are more deaths for the month of June - for the full death list: Musicians who died in 2016.
