Exuding Geekiness since 1984

Lately, I've been noticing that I've been doing way, and I mean WAY   too many film reviews, and as much as I enjoy them, I really don't want to have one sort of content on my blog. So, this blog won't be a film  review (although, I was really tempted to write one for The Incredibles 2 ) instead it will be a game review of a really fun game that involves the subject-matter that is near and dear to my heart, CATS! So for all future and current cat ladies (and everyone else) today I will be reviewing Cat Lady . The mechanics: Easy to play (30 minute game) card game that involves rows and columns, where there are different cards, which are: Cats (these felines need to be adopted by you and the other players. Milk, tuna, meat cards (which you trade in for little pegs, that represent either milk, tuna or meat to feed your kitties). Cat toys, these give extra stuff at the end of the game. Cat nip, also these give extra stuff at the end of game. BoardGameGeek ...

Alright, yes this review is most likely late, since the movie has been out for a while and I'm pretty sure that many of you have seen it. But, first, I'm a slow reader, ok?! Second, it's hard for me to keep up with all the movies that I would like to go see, so sue me, lol. ( Don't really sue me though, cuz' I have lots of bills to pay, thanks ) Moving on, so, yes, I (of all days, I know) just watched the film adaptation of Ernest Cline's "Ready Player One"  and yes, I've read the book before hand. And let me tell you, that the studio wasn't kidding when they said that they had 'adapted' the film from the movie. And we all know what that means, that the script took liberties (many) in the events from the book. The essence of the story IS there, but I did have some issues regarding some points in the film. The story itself felt rushed, the characters were introduced too fast and it seemed like the audience was expected to grow an...

Sometimes, being spoiler free, is ridiculously hard. Arrghh!! Nevertheless, I still want to maintain my credo of not giving things away and potentially spoiling things for everyone else, so this won't be a ridiculously in depth review about Avengers: Infinity War  it will most certainly be a commentary about my thoughts about the movie (yes, without spoiling the movie, so no, don't get the pitch forks, just yet). Where to start: Pacing... although despite some commentaries on the internet, have griped about the film being "rushed" in my humble opinion, it not so much seemed rushed, more that it had that eminent feel too it. The mood was more of "let's do something about it now... before Thanos gets all the stones" feel to it. But, I think that the film overall had good pacing. There were too many tugged at your heart strings moments, because we've come to love and care for these characters over the past 10 years, so, yes, it is an emotion...

While rummaging around the internet, as one does, I found a really distressing rumor/idea/proposal of a petition to ask Meryl Streep to be General Leia in the upcoming Star Wars installment. Yup, if you haven't heard this news by now, um, where have you been living?! But in all seriousness, SAY WHAT?! Whomever thought this was a good idea, NEEDS TO STOP. Don't get me wrong, I love Meryl Streep just like the next person. I think she's a wonderful actress who can either play loving mothers, or downright b*tches. And this has NOTHING to do with her quality of work, or as a personal friend of the late Carrie Fisher, but SERIOUSLY?! Pinterest Ok, we get it, she played a 'version' of Carrie Fisher in 'Postcards from the Edge'  but how does this qualify her to don the magnificent dresses and iconic status of General Leia Organa Solo?! In what universe? Was the person who came up with this idea, drunk at the time? Princess/General Leia is an icon...

I had been debating all day long in deciding whether or not I wanted to post this. And although many of you are aware of the news by now, I really don't want to become one of those gossip news blogger sites where, I just hash out news left and right from "un-reputable" sources and call it a day. I've worked really hard (even though, my blog might not reach the level of notoriety that I hoped for, but to whom ever it does reach) to not be one of those sites. So, I will tread with a word of caution, that despite me giving you guys the following information from another  site, this by no means says that I agree or even condone (whether true or not their information is), but I will give you what I think, simple as that. And I sound like I'm rambling because I probably am. A couple of days ago, it was reported through The Hollywood Reporter , that sources (who of course, like always wish to remain 'anonymous') that beloved legend Stan Lee was being abused a...

Remember a while back, when I made the entry of early reviews from the live-action 'Full Metal Alchemist' movie, not being the best? Well.... the disappointing reviews are true! 😭😭 And if you haven't seen it, well, I will spare you the trauma with this entry. Seriously, stay away from it. To be completely honest, I didn't even make it all the way through the film, before I started to yell, very violently I may add, to my t.v. screen. There are so many problems with the film, that it is seriously hard to even begin, but I guess I must. First problem, starting point of the movie. And yes, I'm aware that film adaptations can take liberties, when it comes to books, manga, anime, etc. But hear me out, taking some liberties, is not always a bad thing. Taking liberties that either completely ruin the plot or totally change film is another. Oops, went on a tangent there, back to where I was going... Geek Tyrant The starting point is one of the problem...

Hello World!!! Yes, I am still very much alive, thank you very much. No, I was not abducted by aliens, nor is it a 'Deep State conspiracy,' the most simple answer I can give you is that I have been working a LOT (yes, in the real world) and by the time I come back home I just sleep. There's pretty much my boring explanation of where I've been for the first three months of 2018 😄. All that put aside, YES, SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED SINCE I'VE BEEN AWAY!!!! and no, I'm not going to even try to catch up, but I will basically start from this point on. I finally got caught up with the MCU and now, I (like the rest of the entire world) is waiting for April in order to watch Infinity War . With that being said, I have my own theories of who will make it out alive and who will not (  I will need to bring lots of tissue paper, cuz' it'll be a cry-fest for me ) IMDb.com Instead of concentrating on who'll die, I want to concentrate on who I ho...
