What? What? You folks are falling down on the job when you let the one-two innuendo punch of “revamping Lara Croft’s boob size” and “needing additional shelf space in the gaming world” slip by with nary so much as a chuckle!

The return of Buck Rogers: Good. The return of Buck Rogers at the hand of Frank Miller: Bad. I have absolutely despised the movies Frank Miller has had a hand in. He’s a great creative man, but I just can’t stomach his films. Please don’t let Buck Rogers turn into 300 or Sin City. Please?
