The Juggernaut Awakens: Walmart vs. Target

Hello kiddies! once again, I find myself bringing you news of what's happening in the magical & fantastical land of Geekdom.

 As many of you know, not long ago too, I wrote that Walmart announced that it would carry the Covergirl Star Wars make up line in September, which I can safely say that I'm stil super psyched!

 Well, it appears that Walmart has announced Force Fridays, where they will be selling various merchandise items in the wake of 'The Force Awakens.'

 here is the link straight from the starwars.com page announcing Walmart's "Force Fridays"

And apparently, Walmart is not the only one to partner up with Disney/Lucas and the upcoming franchise.

 Target is also getting in the fun too!

Aside from all the other companies that have partnertships, General Mills, Covergirl, etc., I think it is an incredible opportunity for the fans to be able to acquire to their hearts' contents various merchandise before the big release.

 So, yes, most likely I will be joining others in getting my Star Wars fix and prepare myself until December.

 While in Other Fandoms:

 In other fandom news, actually I wanted to address this quick ( I will be posting a more detailed account on my tumblr, if you guys are interested). There is a wonderful Sherlock Holmes exhibition at the Discovery Science Center, in Orange county, CA., that is happening at the moment all through Sept. 7, 2015.

 I had the opportunity to attend yesterday, and I absolutely loved it! I felt transported back to the time period of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

 The exhibition costs $5.00 (per person) extra aside from the general admission ticket. 

 I will leave you the link to the Discovery Science Center for more info., if you guys want to go check it out before the exhibition runs its course:

Gotta Run Away Fast.

We've all seen the trailers for the upcoming release of Pokemon: Detective Pikachu  and most of us have gotten excited to see our favorite Pokemon come to life (CGI, of course) on the big screen. One of the most iconic Pokemon have been Pikachu, and what we've seen, he is stinkingly adorable in anime form or live-action. The animation for the CGI was well handled for what we've been able to gather from the trailers. digitalspy.com So, it makes sense that other production companies want to cash in the nostalgia fever and releases their own spin on classic icons of classic games. But, what in the HECK are you guys thinking at Paramount?!?! About a day ago or so, the trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog movie was release, and let me tell you, Sonic looks like something that was brought from the darkest pits of hell. Seriously, what were the animators thinking?! It's not cute, nor endearing, or even worth of the namesake. Newsweek.com Whatever that was, it was...

Sink your teeth into Castlevania.

It is almost February and within the time that I've been missing, there have been so many news, that it is kind of hard to talk to you guys about everything. Lately, I must admit that I've been in a weird funk of watching interesting shows, movies, that are not necessarily in everyone's radar. Yes, I could talk about the upcoming Captain Marvel movie, or anything else that has been buzzing around the internet. But lately, with all the nay-sayers, I've kinda gotten into this funk of finding lost treasure in shows that might not be well known, or given enough time of day, due to either people not knowing, or just glossing over.  One of those 'diamonds in the rough' that I recently was made aware of is 'Castlevania' on Netflix. There's only two seasons of the animated series, and I basically binged watched season 1 yesterday with the Hubby.  And seriously, if you haven't seen this animated series, it really is damned good. (See w...

Not your Mother's She-Ra.

On November 13, Netflix finally premiered 'She-Ra & The Princesses of Power.' Not sure if it was long awaited (for other people, I was absolutely waiting for this!)  and even before it was released it was met with a bit of controversy due to the new styling. Well, my daughter and I sat to binge watched season 1 and let me tell you, it was absolutely perfectly well balanced. For those of us old enough to remember the original series, there are tons of references to characters, events, etc. It doesn't dwell too much into, but it gives a respectful nod to the original series. It isn't a carbon copy of the 80's She-ra and it isn't completely different (I'm assuming this was done for the 'nay-sayers.').  It is very well balanced with new elements and nostalgia inducing references. imdb.com Character development is also well done, I absolutely love the fact that Cattra was given a much rounder, complex backstory in this rebo...
