Afm is always my favorite time of the film reporting year. There's always so much information about cool genre movies flying at you from every direction that it's literally a full time job just keeping up with what's going on. It's for that reason that we here at Qe decided to hold off on a lot of our favorite news and make one big giant mega post with all the stuff that had us talking behind the scenes.

To avoid cluttering up the homepage I've decided to bury all the images and information after the break so click through and feast on the many goodies beyond.

9 November 2008 10:12 AM, PST | From Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news

The only caveat we would add is that the article fails to mention Cosby's enormous previous influence on race relations twenty years before as the star of I Spy. In that series, he became the first black actor to have a dramatic lead on a TV series - and won multiple Emmys, even though certain stations in the south refused to air the show.

The Greatest American Hero: New Comics, Animated Lost Episode, and Movie -- Believe It or Not!

28 July 2008 10:39 AM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news

Watch the skys and look out birds! The Greatest American Hero, the hit show from the 1980s, is about to make a comeback.

The Greatest American Hero premiered on March 18, 1981 on ABC and was an immediate success. In the series, William Katt plays Ralph Hinkley, an ordinary special education teacher who's given an alien-made supersuit with powers he never quite masters, having accidentally lost the instruction manual. Robert Culp co-stars as gung-ho FBI agent Bill Maxwell and Connie Selleca plays attorney Pam Davidson, Ralph's love interest. The show aired for three seasons and balanced the comedy of Ralph's situation with the team's crime-fighting exploits. Believe It or Not, the show's catchy theme-song, spent 18 weeks on Billboard's Top 40 list.

Riding a wave of nostalgic show revivals, The Greatest American Hero is being resurrected in a big way -- as a comic book, a series of animated web shorts, and a feature film.
