VALAR MORGHULIS A.K.A. JANUARY 2016.

And a collective and very well resounding F**K YOU might be necessary and in order.

So, it has been a very rough start for Geekdom/Nerdom, because as all the world knows, this month took away from us, The Goblin King, aka Mr. Starman himself and the uniquely talented Alan Rickman.

Their loss has been heartfelt and felt throughout many many mediums, countries, cities, etc.

And who could blame us? Both were absolutely beyond talented, and any acollade that I can think of would not do them any justice, whatsoever.

And, as many of you can see, I took a while to post (yet again) not so much because I didn't want to or would have liked to, but out of respect for not only talented artists, but for their grieving families, as well.

I know many mediums reported on this because it is their jobs to bring the latest news, but this is my hobby, not my job.

I like reaching whoever likes to read my comments, reviews and overall ideas that are floatng inside my head.

But I do understand that, there are still grieving families, friends; who knew them as a father, husband, friend, brother, etc. And simply keep repeating or posting the news of their loss, to me, seems insensitive.

I am by no means condeming those who decided to post or repost about the news of Bowie and Rickman's deaths, either to spread the news, or make incredible tributes for these great men, just simply put it, it is not my style.

Anyways, yesterday I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up a copy of Deadpool vs. Thanos (I promise, it's related to the main subject of this post) and basically, (without giving too many spoilers, for those who haven't read it) Deadpool and Thanos are competing for the affection, attention and rescuing of their lady love, Death.

And in a very enjoyable Deadpool style, this particular graphic novel touched on a very serious and painful subject of death... and how unfortunately, it is a necessary gift.

Now, before any body dares  to think that I'm implying that both Bowie and Alan deserved or needed to die, NO and NO.

What I'm saying is this, in the comic, Death gets kidnapped and because she is trapped no one in the entire galaxies, cosmos can die. And yet some patients with terminal diseases are happy at first, they soon find out that it is a torture. Eradicated diseases are anew and wreacking havoc.... point is, it's a bloody mess.

Yes, we feel pain and distraught when we lose loved ones, but we can never truly imagine the pain and agony they must have gone through living with incurable illnesses.

Yes, we need to find better treatments and cures to terminal diseases, but we must also be aware that Death, even if we don't like it, is a balancer of life.

Most important we must remind our loved ones everyday how much they mean to us, while they are still amongst us.

Alan Rickman's and David Bowie's legacy will forever be with us. Touching each generation who is willing to recognize and enjoy their unforgettable talent that they worked for and cultivated in their various works.

They will be missed, ALWAYS.

Thank You for your talents, humanity and wherever you may be, may you be at peace.

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.

I Want a Refund

Hello!! O.k, so no I haven't disappeared yet again on you guys, but last week was eventful since, my In-Laws decided to come for an entire week for a much needed family vacation in my neck of the woods. It was a roller coaster, with up's & down's, but overall we all had an enjoyable experience. Except for Friday... On this day, we decided as a family to finally go see Avengers: Endgame  in theaters. So, my husband, along with my MIL, FIL & daughter (and I of course) headed to the movies. In advance, we reserved our tickets, with reserved seating (it was an IMAX theater) and off we went. We decided that we would do one of the last showings just because we already knew that it was a 3 hour long movie, so, we were o.k with that. The movie theater was not full (due to maybe time, etc). So, we went up, took our seats and prepared to be wowed. Maria Rivas/Instagram Nope, we got annoyed. We had noticed that in our same row, there was another small group of
