Well I’m still not quite all the way back from the extended trip to Maine I’ve been on for the past five days, but I’m not going to let something like having driven a combined 16 hours over the past day and a half stop me from doing this even if it means finally turning … Continue reading →

This is apparently the year when everyone decided to apply their dissatisfaction with George Lucas to everything else in the history of ever as I can guarantee that something like 3000 articles will appear about Brave not being as successful as the other Pixar films because it “betrays the brand” by seeming too much like a Disney … Continue reading →

Lego’s newest in-house theme for summer 2012: Monster Fighters. Typically, I prefer the Lego owned themes as they skirt VERY close to other major franchises (Pharaoh’s Quest= The Mummy, Dino= Jurassic Park) without having to pay for those licenses and bringing the savings to the Lego consumer!

While watching The Hunger Games this weekend, I realized that summer is basically here already; it’s only about a month until The Avengers is released and after that is the ridiculousness of Dark Shadows. Anyway, some stuff actually happened this week, which is good because I was expecting ECCC to kind of suck the wind out of the room … Continue reading →
