After reading today, that an update of Short Circuit is in the works, I started thinking about my favorite 80’s robot from the sitcom, Small Wonder! An extremely entertaining show full of ugly people that is best enjoyed the second time around. It stars Tiffany Brissette as Vicki the Robot, a little android girl created…

So yesterday I went and watched the latest Sam Raimi film, Drag Me To Hell, staring the insanely good-looking Alison Lohman as sexy branch-manager-to-be, Christine Brown. This coupled with the equally attractive opening credits sequence of the film had me ready for that unfortunately-all-too-rare feeling of total satisfaction while leaving a cool theater on a…

Today was one of those rare comic days where I not only find myself overwhelmed by the amount of pulls that week but that I am also totally satisfied by my purchase’s content. My haul for today (Note: I didn’t see Ghost Rider #35 or that would be reviewed for sure): Wolverine #72, Wolverine Origins…

The other day I was re-reading the somewhat forgotten Wolverine graphic novel, ‘The Jungle Adventure’, a great solo Wolverine story by Walt Simonson and Mike Mignola. In this tale, Wolverine escapes from his recent troubles with the X-Men by hanging out in the Savage Land. Eventually he becomes a pretty prominent member of a native…

So far we have: Electro (Marvel Knights) After doing some hard time and discovering a “new side”, Electro turns down a shape-shifting prostitute in Mark Millar’s Marvel Knights Spiderman title. Mystique Chris…

“Never rub another man’s rhubarb.” -The Joker I was watching the 1989 Batman movie the other day, mainly as an attempt to convince myself that it’s actually another Prince movie (which is the reason I look forward to time travel. I will convince his Purple Majesty to make more), but instead I found myself enjoying…

Although most of you guys know blogger extrordinaire Mr. Saturday for his love of all things Hulk, Star Trek and D&D, you may not know that he was once a world class video gamer. He holds 1st through 6th place records on the internationally beloved old school game ‘Unreal Tournament’. Sure, every one of us…

Forget what you’re hearing about Kenner’s Super Powers line being the caviar of 80’s super hero toys. The truest were Mattel’s Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars action figures. These amazing toys were an outlet for (all hail) Jim Shooter to sell us Marvel Comic’s mega-event Secret Wars, though strangely enough, there were no Beyonder or…

I have recently taken to educating myself on many of the basic scientific principles. This has led me to seek out answers to many things that most of my peers learned by not only attending but also graduating high-school! My recent searches have led me to what I can certainly descibe as the greatest source…
