...course, another movie that fanboys were panting about at Comic-Con was last summer's Snakes on a Plane, which New Line Cinema pumped to the Web audience but declined to screen for mainstream critics. "We thought it was a stupid title, but we wanted to see it," says Garabedian. "There was swearing, snakes biting into breasts." But the fanboys are outsiders for a reason: the rest of America doesn't always share their taste. And the poor performance of Grindhouse, the double feature from two fanboy deities, directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, shows that fanboy love...
...Infante's other passion was flying; he loved piloting his own plane. When he survived a crash in 1949, he got a metal plate in his head and a perverse sense of invincibility.

Lead guitar Jody Porter keeps things moving along with vigorous, sometimes restless guitar riffs right through to the album’s closer, a slightly twangy ditty about seemingly endless plane flights. On the other hand, lovely, mellow ballads like “Fire in the Canyon” and “I-95” assure us that the group’s newfound, ramped-up energy doesn’t come at the expense of their gentler, more...
