Our second day at Fan Expo is in the can. Some features we have to bring you include: One-on-one video interviews with Star Trek Voyager’s Kate Mulgrew, legendary director Wes Craven, cult favourite Henry Winkler, and the 2nd man on the moon, Buzz Aldrin. Legendary comic book artist Brian Bolland (The Killing Joke) sits down in front of the camera to discuss a little bit of everything.  He also gave us a little present that we’ll be giving away very soon.  More on that later. Tons and tons of insider…

Fan Expo Day 1: Through a Convention Centre, darkly

Danny X , 0 comment

August 22, 2008 – 11:48 PM: Day 1 of Fan Expo is over, and what a day it was. It all started out with what was easily the finest example of poor planning and organization as we, along with several other members of the press, sat in a little room on hard plastic chairs for 5 straight hours on the promise that our press badges were going to be delivered to us “any minute now”. It absolutely has to be said that, considering its size and importance in the Convention…

Fan Expo: Indie Comic publisher “Fantasy Prone” wants to take you to a whole new world…with dinosaurs

Danny X , , , 7 Comments

In “United Free Worlds”, mankind discovers a new planet in our solar system and decides to colonize it. This is, apparently, a mistake. The book was written by Blake Leibel (Director & Writer, Spaceballs:  The Animated Series) and drawn by Jason Raines (Director, Spaceballs: TAS). Fantasy Prone president Lawrence Longo and staff writer Jeff Wood were kind enough to take a couple of minutes to discuss the book with us.  Check the video out here. (It’s labeled “rgb Fan Expo B”.) rgbFilter will be giving away prize packs including UFW…

It’s not TV, it’s NIN

Danny X 1 Comment

According to the LA Times, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor is in talks to bring his politically charged “Year Zero” to HBO as a 2-season series.  The story of Year Zero has so far been released in 2 formats; first, as the 2007 Nine Inch Nails album of the same name, and second, as an Alternate Reality Game  consisting of a variety of media and forms of communication that expanded upon the album’s storyline.

“TROPIC THUNDER” just plain stupid fun, but doesn’t live up to the hype.

Danny X 3 Comments

AN RGBFILTER MOVIE REVIEW:Tropic Thunder Written by Ben Stiller & Justin Theroux Directed by Ben Stiller Starring Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr, Jack Black, Jay Baruchel, Brandon T. Jackson. If this summer’s lot of superhero hype has left you wanting for some lighter-hearted fare (and you couldn’t get tickets to Pineapple Express), then Tropic Thunder should fit the bill. The movie comes out of the gate swinging with an utterly hilarious cold-opening sequence that manages to introduce us to the mains as well as set the tone for the entire story…

New Bell ads channel Daft Hands, Apple Eater Bites

drsquid , 1 Comment

Along with the launch of Bell’s new advertising campaign, which seems like a mash up of Telus ads and a Daft Punk song, was the launch of their Apple iphone competitor, the Samsung Instinct. Boldly proclaiming it an ‘Apple eater’, and a slew of other adjectives (stunner, sexier, cooler, sleeker, everything-er), Bell is hoping this phone (judging by the amount of billboards and ads plaster around Toronto) will be the handset that turns around their flagging cellular arm. Early reports however from the popular cell-phone geek website HowardForums, and a…

Leaked Fall Series are absolutely totally probably not intentional, maybe.

Danny X 6 Comments

   Fall’s coming.  Leaves changing, kids back in school (and sharing your subway commute with you to work every day), weather gets a little brisk…good thing there’s plenty of new stuff on TV to keep you indoors. You may or may not have already seen the promos…I remember sitting through a 2:30 commercial for Life on Mars just for me to say at the end, “meh, the British version was better.”   Obviously, the hype machine isn’t working too well on me, and to be honest, with marketing including the line…

More WATCHMEN eye candy from ComicCon

Danny X 2 Comments

Our friends over at SuperHeroHype have posted the high-rez images of the Watchmen posters that were unveiled at ComicCon San Diego last week. Normally I’m no fan of showing too much of a hyped movie, especially one as touchy as Watchmen, because it only serves to build things up in one’s mind and leads to greater disappointment when things don’t pan out as one expects.  If it were up to me, my entire marketing campaign would cost 50 bucks…and would consist of nothing more than a couple quick glimpses of…

Apocalipstix Interview With Ray Fawkes and Cameron Stewart

Doug Groves 0 comment

This past Wednesday, we at rgbFilter went to the Toronto launch party for the new comic The Apocalipstix by writer Ray Fawkes and artist Cameron Stewart.  Ray and Cameron were kind enough to give Alex some time to talk to them about the comic, and other projects they have coming up. It was a great night, presented by Chris from The Beguiling.  After an intro and book signing session, the party continued with a couple of great bands, Dame and Terror Lake.  There will definitely be more coverage of the…

Canadian Band “The Craft Economy” hates Bill C-61

Danny X , 1 Comment

Toronto indie band The Craft Economy has gotten active in its dislike towards Canadian copyright bill C-61 by taking some of its latest tracks, putting them together on a CD as a single and B-side, and distributing them around the city attached to light poles for people to pick up at their leisure. For free. At least one of the songs on the disc is released under the Creative Commons licence, an action becoming more and more popular, it would seem. Folk artist Johnathan Coulton, who gave up his day…
