What do you get when you combine Space Ghost, Masters of the Universe, Thundercats and a pinch of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers? Well, you get SPACE STALLIONS, a brilliant animated short from The Animation Workshop that evokes memories of all those cheesy cartoons from the 80s!

When I was a kid and the first Star Wars movie came out, my family wasn’t able to afford all the goodies that were being released in toy stores. Keeping my requests modest, I begged my dad for just two Star Wars action figures for my birthday, going so far as showing him the ones… Continue reading ‘Star Wars Geeks to get new toys to celebrate Star Wars: The Phantom Menace’

I mean, how many… Continue reading ‘Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace to debut in 3D at AMC Barrington’
On Tuesday I posted how local comedy company Octavarius was pitting the casts of Harry Potter and Twilight against each other. (If you haven’t done so, please be sure to vote in the poll.) The very next day Octavarius made a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT that I let get lost in my e-mail inbox. :::headdesk::: It’s something… Continue reading ‘The Founding Fathers are lost in our time In “I Made America”’
The last time I wrote a post about Twilight I flirted with incurring the wrath of Twi-hards across the country. I still don’t understand the phenomena, even after having several female friends – and my very own sister – yell at me “Edward’s love for Bella is pure!” until they were blue in the face.… Continue reading ‘Harry Potter vs Twilight!’
