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 underst...

Oh, THE FEELS, THE FEELS!!

So, finally today... Wait where are my manners?! 😱 Happy Holidays to all of you kiddies!!! Hoping you got to enjoy the festivities, food and company. ⛄❄⛄❄⛄ Anyway, as I was saying, finally today we got the chance to watch STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS at our local movie theater and let me first say that my "review" will be spoiler free, for those who still have not yet had the opportunity to go see it.  ALL the excitement from my childhood came flooding back as I sat there and saw familiar faces and get to love me ones as well. Source: screenrant.com It had the perfect balance between comedic, tender, heartbreaking moments.  The ending point for this first installment was adequate with many unanswered questions, but I believe that is what the movie is aiming for.  Some of the new faces that definitely stood out for me was Rey, BB8, Finn, Kylo and Poe. The film those have a couple of mysteries that have yet not been completely mentioned not ...

PERHAPS TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO GEEK!

Hello kiddies!! No, I did not die, but it almost feels like I did. Sorry i have not been able to post anything these past two months, but for us poor mortals who need to work in order to pay bills, this season is one of the busiest, specially for those who work in retail (ahem, like i do). So, if you also work retail, or have ever been tortured to do so (at some point in your life), i  basically do not have a life. I sold my soul to the Retail God, and as of late, I've been non existant. Any ways, so today I had the energy to post, so here we go!! For those who have not noticed this year has been our year, since sci-fi, comics based, fantasy, etc genres have been dominating the big screen, and to that I say, it's about time!! So, not only has our community been anxiously waiting for The Force Awakens, but just today, Team Roddenberry released the trailer for Star Trek Beyond. And to tell you the truth, I'm pretty psyched about it! Not only are we being introduce...

Comikaze Expo 2015 Review...

Hello kiddies!!  As promised I'm back from this year's Comikaze Expo. at the L.A. Covention Center. So, without further delays, here is my review of this year's excellent adventure! 1') Overall Organization- it was well organized, despite being held at a massive place like the L.A. Convention Center. The guide of events and map of the venue was helpful (although, the map was a bit small, that it was hard to read). What made it extremely helpful was that there were signs posted all over the place to guide you and let you make a determination of where you needed to go or be. Parking, despite being $30 fee, it was secure and worth the cost instead of trying to leave your car parked in public places, but risk being vandalized or ticketed.  2.) Staff & Vendors- The staff working this year was enthusiastic, helpful and overall welcoming. If you had any questions they were ready and willing to help. Staff was able to be identified easily by their bright...

READY TO NERD OUT AT STAN LEE'S COMIKAZE 2015 (Sunday)

I'm not dead!! I promise you kiddies that I'm still very much alive & it won't be so easy to get rid of me, except if it is work. Work has been brutal, COMPLETELY drastic work schedule from when I started working for my current employer, phew! And to top it off October has been a whirlwind, since in the beginning of this month my daughter fell sick (her asthma went out of control) and she had to be hospitalized for two days. BUUT, I am back and with a special announcement: I was keeping it hush-hush for a bit because I wasn't sure if I would be allowed the day off or not, but the good news is that I was able to convince "Umbridge" aka: my boss, to give me this Sunday off in order to attend: STAN LEE'S COMIKAZE EXPO!!! Source: Stanleescomikaze.com Yes, yours truly will be there with the many other souls that will be attending on that particular day. And you guys cannot imagine how ECSTATIC I am... my first Con in MANY, MANY years!!...

'THE WITCH'S FAMILIAR': REACTION & REVIEW

Source: www.ign.com, Property: BBC/BBC America It took me an entire day to fully digest last night's Doctor Who episode!! Basically, they had my heart on a string and kept tugging at it that I thought i might not have made it until the end. But, here I am, still here, in one piece. So, kiddies here is my small & insignificant contribution to last night: Highlights: 1.) My constant panic at & concerning Missy betraying The Doctor and/or Clara (or in that case both). We all know that The Master has teamed up in the past with The Doctor when it is either convinient or they have a common enemy. But her/his unpredictability to switching sides is a constant reminder for us the viewers, that she should & must not be trusted. 2.) Direct reference when Clara was convinced, by MIssy no less, to get inside the Dalek. Evoking the first time Clara (Oswin Oswald) met The Doctor (in his 11th incarnation). It brought back a sad memory, but it also brough...

"Holy Smokes, Batman, now we can go to a ThinkGeek store IRL!"

Hello kiddies!! Yes, yes it is absolutely freakin' true, everyone's favorite Geek/Nerd provider of awesomeness has opened not just one, but two stores in FL.!!! YES, FLORIDA... They were not content to their online domination & take over, so they decided to take over IRL. AND, we can't thank them enough, at least I can't. And I do hope they have lots & lots of success because we need them to conquer the west coast ASAP!! It looks like today was their opening date, too! So, for those of you who still like the thrill of acquiring items at the moment and not have to wait for packages in mail (although, ThinkGeek has excellent delivery) we can simply go to one of their stores and buy to our heart's contents without having to wait for our packages to arrive. I will be leaving you the link to their website, so you guys can find out where the stores are located in Florida. For those lucky to live nearby, I so envy you right now! And to ThinkGeek, ...
