Thor Finally Gets A Decent Film

The Titan Arrives It has taken ten years and almost twenty films to get to his big moment, but Thanos finally arrived on the silver screen in Avengers:  Infinity War in April.  As of this writing it has easily cleared the one billion mark and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down any time soon.  ThereContinue reading “Thor Finally Gets A Decent Film”

Addictive Apples

Storybrooke, ME I’ve been all over the place with my nerd viewing in recent months.  I’ve bounced around from The IT Crowd (which I love and recommend) to multiple rewatchings of Star Trek, Star Trek Voyager, and Star Trek: The Next Generation, to shows like Luke Cage and Robotech.  My wife, who rarely becomes passionateContinue reading “Addictive Apples”

My Geeky Christmas List!

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaaaah! I am not ashamed to admit that Christmas is my favorite holiday.  I love the music, the cheesy Hallmark movies, the gaudy decorations, and all of the wonderful smells that range from the pine of the Christmas trees to the cinnamon of the cookies baked for the holidays.  I also love the smell ofContinue reading “My Geeky Christmas List!”

I Went To A Thor Movie….

And A Comedy Broke Out Marvel has done it again.  Made an excellent film, you say?  No.  Did an excellent job of promoting and hyping a film that turned out to be less than expected?  Yep. That’s not to say that Thor: Ragnarok is a bad film.  It’s just not as great as I hopedContinue reading “I Went To A Thor Movie….”

Looking Like Thor By The Summer

Lake Charles, LA Thor is a character that I’ve loved since I was a youngster.  He’s never really been the it hero for me, but he’s always flying around with Mjolnir in the background.  What’s not to like about the guy?  He’s a little bit cocky yet still has a down to Earth (technically I thinkContinue reading “Looking Like Thor By The Summer”

Comic-al Craziness!!

Lake Charles, LA Last week saw the internetz explode with excitement over the trailer for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy film.  To be quite honest, I wasn’t all that excited.  Don’t get me wrong, I want to see the film.  I just am not as hyped up about it as everyone else seems toContinue reading “Comic-al Craziness!!”
