  • Space Tourism

    For those that think Virgin Galactic’s “space tourism” is a venial use of technology for the idle rich, I’d like to remind them that it is just stepping stone to space travel for the rest of us. And that Space Tourism is a noble endeavor. Especially when it’s narrated by Carl Sagan, backed by a…

  • Sexy Gandalf

    Warning you can’t UNsee this: While neither Party City or Amazon.com sold a costume titled “Sexy Gandalf”, it doesn’t mean you can’t become one for Halloween. Proving that RULE 34 is always in effect. I on the otherhand went with a less salacious though equally rustic Halloween costume. A cape. And cap. https://www.flickr.com/photos/moondogindustries/sets/72157649073203235/  

  • Wonder Wow

    Except for the impractical high heels and the Saxon looking sword, this version of Wonder Woman looks like Xena and by that, I mean it looks absolutely spot on. Kudo’s to Zach for getting it right. I’m hoping the red will pop more in her costume in the actual film, though Zach is fond of…

Over 50,000 children have been detained in just the last 6 months. • Instead of saying straight out that these children will be DEPORTED back to…

  • Life Imitates Anime

    Damn, at first I thought it was Cosplay. But is it just me or do you think Natalia Poklonskaya, the new Russian Attorney General of Crimea, looks shockingly like Lt. Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist. Which leads me to wonder if Putin isn’t actually Führer King Bradley and possibly a Humonculi. And yes Natalia does put…

  • The Best and Worst films of Disney/Pixar

    THE BEST Finding Nemo Possibly the finest children’s film every made because it is actually a ‘parents’ film. A perfect balance of emotion, comedy and action. It is visually rich and realistic without the ‘cotton candy’ color scheme used in A Bug’s Life and Monster’s Inc. Toy Story This classic established a new paradigm and is the benchmark for every…

  • Frozen

    We read the various spoilers and discussions on the “Disney Princess” trope and weren’t sure if we wanted to see this but our 4 year old daughter did. We’re glad we went to see it. It was a much better film than Wreck-It-Ralph (which was a bit of a wreck, pun intended). • A TON…
