WE’VE MOVED!

January 2, 2014

Greetings Moguls! In case you didn’t hear, The Armchair has moved to its NEW SITE! You can still reach us at our old address but we prefer you use the brand new one: http://thearmchairmogul.com/ It’s a little flashier, a little cozier, and there’s a lot more room for content, pics, puns, and all the general nonsense you’ve […]

The ART of STORYTELLING: STAR WARS Edition

September 19, 2013

Howdy Moguls! This is a new column we’re trying out where we attempt to piece together the story of a movie based solely on its poster and a few character names. We call it: We figured we’d kick off the column with Tom Jung’s classic 1977 Star Wars piece…here it is in all its glory. […]

May 21, 2013

Did the geek world become a lot brighter over the last few years? Are modern cameras not built to handle this much light? Observe the posters for the upcoming Star Trek …urm, Man of Steel. Ok, ok, I get it. It’s a neat effect and one poster does not a trend make. Wait a minute… Excuse […]

STAR TREK: The Measure of a Fan

May 20, 2013

All this talk about NuTrek got me thinking about old Trek and sci-fi in general – which, to be honest, I’m usually on the brink of doing at any given moment anyway, so…win-win. Sci-fi has always been at its heart, a series of spiffed-up morality tales; an effort to explore and answer life’s BIG QUESTIONS: […]

Evil Dead: Not Your Mother’s Horror Flick…it’s the remake of it

April 7, 2013
