All Things End

The past couple of weeks have been interesting as several pop-culture phenomenon have concluded all at the same time. We have seen the end of stories about a fantasy world, political satire, superheroes, and some nerds who eat together, that have captured the collective hearts and imaginations of millions of people around the world in… […]

Weird words we use everyday

To tell you the truth I think all words are weird. Language in general is a very peculiar thing. It is just grunts and sounds arranged in a particular pattern or sequence that we have all collectively agreed has some sort of meaning. English in particular is complex and hard to learn as in it’s… […]

MET Gala 2019

I know this is a little late but I had to do a post about this year’s MET Gala. Every year the beautiful and the rich get together in an extravagant display of excess and wealth for…some reason. They choose a theme, people prepare, they make a scene, and stop for lots and lots of […]

Some Stuff

As you know, I stopped posting for over a year and started again just recently. But during that time it wasn’t that I was not writing, I just didn’t complete anything that I wrote. Currently I have 18 draft posts just sitting there waiting to be re-examined and maybe posted. Well this is one of […]

Bad Trek

The last post I wrote for this blog before I went on a ridiculously long break was about Star Trek Discovery. The show had just started, airing the first 2 episodes which created and destroyed the world I thought this story was to take place in. I had enjoyed the episodes but because I hadn’t… […]

Product placement

I still have friends that complain about product placement in movies. It used to be something that got to me as well but many years ago I kinda just got over it. Why? Because it properly reflects a realistic version of the world we live in. Look down at your clothes, look at your desk, […]

Until

Music is a strange thing. It is a series of strung together sounds that are pleasing to the listener. Unless of course you are an old crotchety man waving his stick at the damned youth of today. But music has a way of instilling emotions, making you move fast, or slowing you down for just… […]

Get untethered

I don’t like horror movies. As a young child I was afflicted with night terrors and that combined with an over active imagination did not bode well for an evening’s slumber. As I grew older the terrors waned but my dislike for horror persisted. But every once in a while a horror movie catches my… […]

Alita Battle Angel Movie Poster

If you liked the Manga…

Every once in a while I have the audacity to let someone else pick the movie I am going to watch. That is just crazy! But the other day my friend begged me to go see Alita: Battle Angel. Despite my reservations and due to him offering to pay, I said yes. This was a movie I… […]

Stop Living in the Past

Nostalgianoun a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal association something done or presented in order to evoke feelings of nostalgia I get why nostalgia sells. For the most part it just makes people feel good. It is a familiarity taking you back to a […]

Who throws a horse?

Apparently vampires do. Last night I had the stupendous privilage of seeing Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and I know many people out there would like to believe that it is simply ridiculous. But the reality is it is ridiculously awesome. …more

My Elephant Keeps Moving

That title may seem cryptic but it really isn’t just take it for what it is, “My elephant keeps moving.” A friend of mine just came back from a trip that took her through India and Nepal. She was gone for 2 and a half weeks and was greatly missed. When she came back… …more

Knowledge can mean Death

This weekend I made it to the theatre to see Prometheus. I was not able to see the midnight showing I was hoping for I knew the next day it would be almost impossible not to hear something about the movie. And I was not wrong about that. Everywhere I turned there was a mention… […]

Retro Review

The year was 1996. A large group of grade 10 students sat in an otherwise empty movie theatre. They were giddy, excited at being out of school in a cinema instead of a classroom. This was the reward given at the end of a couple of months reading Shakespeare. All the thou-ing this, doth-ing that… …more

What’s been happening

Nothing particularly exciting actually. My life has gotten somewhat lame as I live vicariously through the stories that others tell me. Everything I have been doing has been quite… sedentary. I may be turning into dust. Anyways, where should I start? Books is a good a place as any. I have to say I have… …more

Bright Lights, Bigger City

I don’t think I have ever mentioned my love of Cee-Lo Green’s last album ‘The Lady Killer’, the album that brought you the song ‘Fuck You’ aka ‘Forget You’ as the radio-safe version. I never found that the album got the proper recognition that it deserved. Sure that song was/is everywhere but nothing else that… […]

And I’m Full

I know I haven’t really written in a while but that wasn’t because I didn’t want to, it was because of disappointment and boredom. Sure I could have written about comicon – I didn’t originally plan on going but I did cuz I had nothing else to do – and I could have taken… …more

More Vids

So I know I haven’t been doing a whole lot of actual writing, simply dropping some fun vids for you but hopefully later this week that will change. Actually I think I am being a bit ambitious with that statement it will probably be next week. Until then I have some more videos that I… […]

You are not Gods

A co-worker of mine passed on this very cool music video that I thought I should pass on to you. It was done by a friend of his who definitely deserves some props. They are family. Awwwww. While watching the video I was reminded of Ren & Stimpy and that apparently… …more

And that is why

Even though I love comics and collectibles I have been avoiding stores with said merchandise for a long time. But this weekend while out running errands I wondered into The Silver Snail. At first I stopped myself, stood out side the store contemplating my decision to go in. There was a comic I had heard about that I was… […]
