They Did… WHAT? So Disney went and bought Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion dollars. Marvel, if for some reason you are unaware, was one of the last remaining independent entertainment houses left, responsible for making comic books cool, and bringing us franchises such as X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and over 5000 characters. Marvel has always been “idolized” per se, but [...]
One of the First Nicktoons: I was in first grade when Rugrats premiered on Nickelodeon. It debuted alongside two other cartoons, “Doug” and “Ren & Stimpy”. All three cartoons were runaway successes. Ren & Stimpy lasted for five years, Doug for three years, and Rugrats lasted for a whopping twelve(!) years, not counting a brief lapse in production from 1994 [...]
Please note that this article is about the movie “Orphan”, but there are NO spoilers in this article. If you post spoilers to the movie in the comments, then I will moderate them. I’m not big on moderating comments, but I’m also not big on spoilers, so there you go. Labeling the Movie I went to see “Orphan” in the [...]
My Guilty Pleasure… I don’t have Game Show Network on my cable package, but as of this moment, I am strongly considering upgrading so that I can get it. Game shows are a strong, guilty pleasure for me, and when I start watching them, I can’t get enough! On the surface, it seems weird to want to watch a show [...]
Movie Sign! If you are at least in your late teens, and live in the United States with some form of TV access, then I’d be very surprised if you haven’t seen Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) at least once in your life, even if you don’t know the show by name. MST3K was, simply put, a show where a [...]
Nobody Is Innocent! We’re all guilty of teasing other people. Some of us are less guilty as adults than others, but we have all, at some point or other, teased other people as children. It’s in our nature. Human beings are programmed to protect their ego at all costs, and one of the easiest ways to do so is to [...]
Today, Michael Jackson collapsed at his home, and was rushed to a local hospital where he later passed away. He was only 50 years old. I’ve actually been working on a Michael Jackson article in the past few weeks, and I may still post it, but I just wanted to say that as a musician, Michael Jackson has had as [...]
Everyone Has An Opinion! Okay, if there’s one subject that can usually generate a response from someone, it’s Star Wars. People seem to love it or hate it. And even the people that love it usually fall into two categories. The either love everything Star Wars, or they love the original Star Wars, and hate the newer ones. There’s not [...]
Reckless Youth… As of this writing, Lindsay Lohan is only twenty-two years old, and has appeared in a mere twelve theatrical movies and a handful of television appearances. Yet, people can’t seem to get enough information about her. Everywhere you look, people are either talking about her, or she’s on the cover of some tabloid newspaper. Lindsay Lohan grew up [...]
I’m Not A Fanboy… I don’t watch Pro Wrestling nearly as much as I used to. I feel that the current product is laughable compared to how it used to be. The writing has gone way downhill, a lack of competition has made it stagnant, and there are still ugly stereotypes and precedents that insure that the less talented performers [...]
History Lesson! Once upon a time, millions of young children all across the world came to discover the wonders of video games through the Nintendo Entertainment System. Released in 1985, The N.E.S. went on to single-handedly rescue the video game industry, on the brink of destruction due to Atari’s mishandling of the industry in 1983. The Great Video Game Crash [...]
