A Plain and Simple Story

Deep Space Nine was robbed of having follow up stories in motion pictures by the poor performance of the later Next Generation films. 

So sad.

The Area Where DC is Untouchable

As stated, Marvel is kind of beating the pants off of DC in many areas of the media.

However, there is one set of outputs over a period of time (I recently watched again) where DC's quality is untouchable and unlikely to be equaled.

The DC Animated Universe.

Godzilla X Kong! You know what the "X" is for?

X-ceptional!

X-citing!

X-ception to American Studios screwing up Toho properties!

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Return to Arkham City

After two and a half years (and setting an alarm this year) I finally remembered to return to this Playstation 3 superhero video game and bring Batman to meet Calendar Man on Saint Patrick's Day to finish that one holiday a month, year long, requirement in the urban setting turned prison that is Arkham City.

DC and Marvel, What kind of Guy?

 Given my history (and my tattoo) people identify me pretty quickly as "You're a DC Guy."

General Dungeon Master Philosophy- New Young Players

Teacher Tributes: German

I have always had an excellent memory, the ability to read and retain things quickly, and often well past when I needed them. 

The ENORMOUS exception to this is languages other than English.

Books to Open Your Mind- Frog and Toad

As a kid I had Frog and Toad are Friends by Arnold Lobell, and took his three other books in the series out of the grammar school library frequently. 

The set is one of the most frequent gifts I give to people when they have a baby. 

And reading them were featured performances of my doing voices when my daughter was little.

That's a remarkable string of happenings considering how much I dislike the animals the main characters are based on. 

There must be something special about these books.

 Excessive Elephants

Half Way Across The Spider-Verse

 

Whoah, over thirteen years of blogging and this is the only post that landed on a Leap Day.

One would think it would be something more exciting than a late movie review.

One would, in that case, clearly not know me very well.

What If... Marvel Made the Second Season Even More Engaging!?

The new season of What If? was loads of fun. It embraced the wild and free sense of the best of the original comics, more than the dark, downer endings that many of the modern runs have taken.

Moving Under New Leadership

This is normally the time of year where I say nice things about Miss Chris.

This will not change as she continues to teach, choreograph, and help out in moving the Moving Company through various twists and turns towards the future in her role as Danceworks Founder.

Mesmerizing Modern Art

A Mid-Dumber Night's Dream

My mind should just let me forget my dreams. 

It never goes well. 

Do they sell brain leashes or something? 

I would have preferred, off the shelf, standard script, regular, terrifying nightmare.

This was more of a "stress mare." 

A highly vivid, deranged, lucid and realistic feeling "stress mare."

Some Special Doctor Who Specials

The thirteenth anniversary of this blog, (earlier this week but after the last post) will be a look at another anniversary. 

Doctor Who! 

(at the end of last year)

That's as good an excuse as any for how late this is.

The Sixtieth Anniversary, the return of Christmas Specials and a new Doctor!
What a time to be a Whovian!

A Whovian who has been a fan of the show for over forty years.

Ouch.

Obviously I am very happy about the return of the old Logo shape.

Ravishing Rockets

Echoes of the Future

The reason for the title is that I'm hoping this show will lead the way to characterization and story taking point in projects over continuity and spectacle. Those are the core of every good comic book run. Hey, I can dream!

How about that Echo show? Only five episodes but it packed in a boatload! Cultural history, an outstandingly portrayed character who went through personal and power based transitional arcs, a fun, well detailed and relatable supporting cast, and an excellently developed villain.

What if...

After the First Creed Film, when Adonis was a Light Heavyweight contender, he fell into a time tunnel and the only way to return was to live through the life and fights of his mentor- Rocky Balboa?

That's a much cooler question than 

"What if, Jeff played video games all night instead of actually writing content?" 

isn't it?

The Triumphant Return of Grandma Treks- The Movies

Can't have "Treklets" without the follow up "Grandma Treks."

Because geekiness is and always has been a multi-generational trait in my family.

And we're darn proud. I can never thank my Mom and Dad enough for so many things, but one of them is introducing me to so many fun and cool fandoms at a young age.
