NO, NO, POWER RANGERS!!

SAY IT ISN'T SO!! For those of us who were still hopeful that a new instalment of the Power Rangers rebooted franchise would be green lit, apparently, this will not be happening any time soon. Due to not so favorable box office outcomes in China <which apparently, the Asian countries were the saving grace for the film, since domestically it didn't do so well> and Japan, which executives were betting their money on for the film to exceed the amount expect for the possibility of having more installments.  According to the article on Screen Rant: http://screenrant.com/power-rangers-sequel-unlikely-box-office-bomb/  the film still had hope if it did well in those markets.  Trailers. TUBE The mixed review of the film also did not help with the decision from the executives, for now, shelve any other future film in the franchise. The reviews from different articles either liking or hating it, had an impact, but nothing had the biggest impact than $$...

Franchises, Celebrations and Competitions.

Hello kiddies!!! Once again I find myself writing to bring you interesting news from our favorite internet sources to keep you (and myself) updated on what's going on in the world of Geekdom/Nerdom. So, let's begin, shall we?! M.A.C. + Star Trek= Fabulousness: For those of you who aren't necessarily Trekkies/Trekkers, this year will mark the 50th anniversary of the premier of Star Trek TOS (The Original Series).  Well it looks like in celebration the the cosmetic line is teaming up with Star Trek and will be releasing make up inspired by the women in the series. I think that it is a fabulous idea! We definitely need representation in this industry.  (Source: twitter.com/Paramount/Roddenberry) Just like last year, Cover Girl in celebration of The Force Awakens released their Star Wars make up line, we need this for long time Trekkies. According to the article, the line was going to be inspired by 7of 9, Uhura, Green Alien, and Deanna Troi. The only 'but...

THE FANDOM AWAKENS!!!!

May the Force be with J.J. ABRAMS!!! So, after so many times being rick-rolled over “official” trailers for the new Star Wars The Force Awakens, it finally happened!!! We finally got an actual snippet of the trailer that has broken the internet since we found out that J.J. Abrams took the helm of this project. Critics (positive and negative) have abound with their opinions about their personal expectations for this upcoming film. And quite frankly, it’s not over possessiveness, but we want justice after the fiasco of the “Special Editions” and the Prequels. Anyways, all around the fringes of cyberspace comments have been made, expectations either have been heightened or completely destroyed, but it seems a lot more real than those pesky “rumors.” And in my most personal opinion, I only have to say this…. I will reserve any comment, judgment on and or about this (or for that matter, any future teasers, trailers, etc.) teaser trailer until right before the first ...

Star Wars or Star Trek: Which one sets your Geeky heart a flutter?

A couple of days ago, while sitting down and watching Fanboys , got me thinking of the touch-y subject (and at times controversial, I guess) of which one is better, Star Wars or Star Trek? Sure, both franchises have some things in common, like the obvious, both contain Star  in their titles and both revolve around space (and at this point, you maybe yelling at me by saying "No duh"). I promise, this post WILL get better! Ok., aside from the blatantly obvious, both franchises could not be more different. It would be like comparing apples to watermelons. But, I'm not here to discuss the differences, neither am I here to sway you from one or the other. Mainly I'm here to ask you guys, which one and mainly WHY  do you prefer one better than the other? Personally for me, I have so much love for both.  Both were significant and integral parts of my childhood and continue to be. As a child one of my fondest memories is watching reruns of Star ...
