Exuding Geekiness since 1984

Boy do I have news for you guys!! It always brings me an immense joy knowing how our community is slowly but surely (and for the most part) is embracing different individuals from many different walks of life. We within oursleves were outcasts for many many years by the "normal" section of our societies and at times were looked down and made fun of. And it is important that we do not forget where we came from. Individuals who gathered in the confides of their similar thinking peers to play D&D or join a LAN party or LARPing group during your weekends, we were made up of people who came from different backgrounds and partook in "GEEK" interests. And although mainstream has finally catched up to us, and for the most part has started to realize that we weren't losers, but innovators, we need to remember all those who doubted us, and help and embrace others who still have not have had the opportunity to be heard. www.batman-on-film.com Fo...

Happy New Year kiddies!! Let's hope that 2017 brings us happier times than the s$#t storm that was 2016. What did happen last year?! Most of the time it felt like we were collectively living in an episode of the Twilight Zone . (I can just hear the theme in my head as I write this, lol.) But enough reminiscing about the year that just passed by, for many of us, we hope that this new year will be FAR FAR better than last, and by the looks of it, it might just be. Why> Well, at least new releases will be a heck of a better year than last. No, I'm not complaining about the films that came out last year (Doctor Strange, Rogue One, CIvil War, etc) because they were excellent. But this year, we have really awesome arrivals as well. I know I'm looking forward to: The Lego Batman Movie, which quite frankly, looks far better than Batman v.s Superman (sorry...) Release date: February 10, 2017 LEGO.com Logan is also coming out this year, and it looks to be lik...

In a world full of Princesses needing to be rescued by their Knight in Shinning Armor, Princess Leia taught many little girls that you can rescue yourself. Today, the world all ovet mourns the loss of a true icon, cross-generational, inspiring human being and incredible actress, Carrie Fisher. Princess Leia was different, strong-willed, resourceful, intelligent, brilliant diplomat, fearless. As a little girl I wanted to be just like her, because she resembled my own characteristics. I didn't want to be rescued, I wanted to write my own happy ending, I wanted to be different. And in front of me, was this character who embodied everything I hoped to be when I would grow up. Carrie as an actress was unconventiaonal, inspiring because she was human, not a plastic, un-realistic version of a person, she was real with flaws and many more qualities. There are no words to sufficiently describe how much she meant to me and how deeply I am feeling her passing. To her family, loved o...

The Holiday season for most is actually over and while we had to deal with our crazy horde of relatives, I do hope that many of you spent the days with great food and company. So, where have I bloody been?!? Well, real quick to recap, I started a new part-time job near my new abode, so unfortunately it has been a bit hectic around my household. Not to mention we were trying to get ready for the holidays. Either way, I am back!! For the most part we can collectively agree that 2016 has just been a $&1t year.  From start til now, there have been very few joyous moments throughout. Except, a couple of weeks ago with the premier of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story . 🤗🤗 What's not to like about this film?! ( Unless you have no soul) it is absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, I was holding on to my breath ( miraculously, I didn't 💀). Source: wikipedia.com Not only does it re-validates this franchise (cinematically speaking) but it adds so mu...

Hello kiddies!! So, I found an interesting article from moviepilot.com concerning the now long running sitcom The Big Bang Theory.  It seems that there have been issues negotiating pay increases for both Kaley Cuoco (Penny) and Jim Parsons (Sheldon). According to the rumor mill and the article, season 11 was potentially in danger to not get green lit due to the negations. But alas, for now things seemed to have resolved and there will be a season 11 after all. Now, I know that TBBT is a bit controversial in our community due to those Geeks who like the show and those who despise it. The nay-sayers feel like the show derives on moving and further stereotyping the community. They are vocal against the fact that the show laughs at the Geek community instead of with it.   Source: epguides.com On the other hand, the people who have been following the sitcom from the beginning of the fact that, it celebrates all the Geeky awesomeness we have to offer. Both sides, I see...
