A Balloony Surprise!
San Fransokyo Last weekend I took one of my children to see the film Big Hero 6. In all honesty, I had no clue as to exactly what this film was about. I wasn’t familiar with it at all. Basically I went in blind. I also went in with very low expectations and prayed thatContinue reading “A Balloony Surprise!”
Wizard Wipeout????
In Dark Corners Of The ‘Verse For over thirty-eight years now I have been a geek, a nerd, the odd man out, and that shy kid that never drew much attention to himself. While many kids were playing baseball or jumping rope, I was watching 3-2-1 Contact, Doctor Who, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, SuperContinue reading “Wizard Wipeout????”
Catching Up With My “X’s”
Lake Charles, LA Okay, okay. Now before you read this blog, know that I am well aware that X-Men: Days of Future Past has been out on DVD/Blu-ray/digital download for some time now AND that I’m probably not adding much to the whole X discussion that hasn’t already been mentioned, but please realize that IContinue reading “Catching Up With My “X’s””
Halloween Comic Fest And USS Lafitte Halloween Party
Southwest Louisiana Saturday, October 25th was a rather busy day for myself and, to a lesser degree, my youngest child. The day started off awkwardly, with me failing to set my alarm the night before and therefore missing out on bringing my wife to work and my kids out for a quiet breakfast. Nope, myContinue reading “Halloween Comic Fest And USS Lafitte Halloween Party”
Alpha Nerds And Bullies Within Fan Groups
Lake Charles, LA Let me start off by saying that this post will probably tick off a few people.

They don’t see themselves as the problem that I’m about to yap about, but theyContinue reading “Alpha Nerds And Bullies Within Fan Groups”
A Fun Run
Central City and, uh, The CW I’m going to come right out and say that I love The CW’s new show, The Flash. Having been lucky enough to see the old John Wesley Shipp version of the series and being really ticked off when that show was dropped (Does that mean I was Firefly beforeContinue reading “A Fun Run”

Heroes And Villains: A Hit List
Lake Charles, LA Being a geek for the entirety of my life means that I’ve picked up quite a few favorite heroes and villains over the years. Heck, I’ve even looked at a lot of villains as heroes and a lot of heroes as villains as I’ve gotten older. For you, fine reader, I offerContinue reading “Heroes And Villains: A Hit List”
Cowabunga, Dude!
The Sewers of New York I’m old enough to remember when the Teenage Mutatnt Ninja Turtles were the newest, biggest thing on the block. From the comic and the cartoon to the original film and the wonderful toys that came with all of the turtle power one could muster, I was a big fan ofContinue reading “Cowabunga, Dude!”
