I’m not that much on horror. Like at all. Honestly, I do not seek horror out but it occasionally finds me, usually when I stumble into a movie has some horror elements. I might even make it to the end of the movie. But I ain’t gonna read horror. Just, no. Recently, though, I decided to start rewatching X-Files. The original. From the beginning. In small bits of a couple of episodes at a time. Don’t know how far I will make it but we’ll see. Thing is, I had forgotten just how much horror there was in that series. Or buried the information inRead More →

When I see images like the following, I realize just how weird it was that the “comic book powers that be” thought it was OK to pair Superman with Wonder Woman for more than some kind of alternate reality. And how far he (Superman) has come. Thankfully. Will there probably be missteps in the future? Sure. But this, this is perfection.Read More →

Really hilarious.  Okay, full disclosure. I watched the first season or so of the Merlin TV series when it first aired. And then it just got too ridiculous for me. Or ridiculous and overly dramatic. Oh, I don’t know how to put it. It was kind of like watching some bizarre fractured fairy tale and while most of the time that works for me, hence the attempt at liking it, this one just didn’t work. I did, however, watch the series finale after it went off the air and I may eventually watch it all the way through. So I’m not giving up. Having saidRead More →

Okay, just for the record this post will probably contain some slight spoilers but, seriously, anyone who doesn’t have some idea of the major beats of this story has been living in a cave for the last three decades.  Anyway, my children got me these two videos for Mother’s Day. Boy, do they know their mother.  My son and I ended up watching it together on Mother’s Day and the only thing that really threw us was starting out with basically the New 52 Superman in The Death of Superman… who was hooked on and apparently dating Lois Lane. Not that we had any quibbleRead More →

I’ve had a Pinterest account for years but never really did anything on it except find or post the occasional interesting thing. Recently though I found out that Pinterest already contains a wealth of really old paperback covers but they’re kind of scattered. So I’ve started my own “vintage paperback covers” board and started by searching out covers from some old favorites. It’s a beginning and I’ll probably add others from my own collection, too, if they’re not already there. As I discover some good ones, I’ll post them individually here just to let you know I’m still working on this little project. Read More →

This is the first post in an ongoing series each Sunday that I’m calling my weekly “reading” journal. Reading is in quotes there because it’s actually going to be a running log of what book reading, video watching and game playing I manage to get in during a week plus any other random thoughts that come up. One of the reasons it’s going to be so freewheeling is that I’ve been experimenting with dictating my thoughts into notes on my phone (and/or typing/editing them up if I’m at a computer) whenever the mood strikes. The idea is to then just copy and paste into aRead More →

The family aspect of DC’s Superman is more prominent than ever thanks to “Rebirth” and the success of Super Sons, and it was almost going to be the premise of a Warner Bros. animated series. Long-time animation artist/director Vinton Heuck has shared artwork from Superman Family, an animated series he was pitching to Warner Bros. Animation. Heuck, who recently worked on Young Justice and is now working on DC Universe’s Harley Quinn, wanted to bring the Kent family to cartoons with a heaping helping of “crazy Silver Age stories” inspired by comic books of the past. Inside the SUPERMAN FAMILY Animated Series That Almost Was On the oneRead More →

Because honestly, I did not know this. Or if I ever did at any point it was buried so far back into my subconscious that it was lost in a memory black hole. But he was related. In the original radio broadcast he was the grandson/grand-nephew of The Lone Ranger because that broadcast was a spin-off of The Lone Ranger radio show. And then that little tidbit got lost when it went into TV because of ownership issues. Does it crop up every once in a while? I don’t know. I haven’t seen the recent movies. Any comments on that? I did some digging. NotRead More →

I recently ran across a new to me website that I’ve fallen in love with – The Silver Petticoat Review: Romance in Entertainment. What I love about it is that it feeds my “and I want some romance in what I watch” craving with regards to video fare. To be perfectly honest I usually don’t seek out stuff on TV and in the movies for romance. If it’s called a romance, half the time I’ll be leery of it in the first place. But I like to know what’s out there at the same time.Read More →

Eighty years after Superman arrived on Earth, Bruce Wayne first donned his cowl and Steve Rogers transformed into Captain America, the boundless imagination once confined to the pages of popular comic books has become a bottomless well of inspiration to real-life military researchers around the world.The cutting-edge science and otherworldly gadgets that have been integral to the rise of iconic American superheroes — and helped fuel their unprecedented success at the box office and fan conventions over the past two decades — can no longer be considered purely science fiction, insiders and analysts say. Iron Man-inspired, jetpack-powered exoskeleton wows military leadersRead More →

Have you ever reread a book that you enjoyed and wondering why you don’t remember half of it? I’m rereading Hot and Badgered before diving into In A Badger Way and seriously wondering if I was asleep when I read it the first time because there are huge chunks of it that I honestly don’t remember. And yet I remember the broad outline of what happens.  So I know I read it…. didn’t I?Read More →

In A Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston came out today and I bought it on ebook the second I woke up. I only realized yesterday the hero was Shen Li, the panda shifter from Bite Me. I think my brain just exploded. I honestly never thought she’d give Shen his own book. Also, this definitely means I get more Vic for sure & possibly Livy from my top favorite in the Pride series, Bite Me. Double yah! Now back to reading. Read More →

In our spare time lately, my daughter and I have been tag-teaming each other replaying this game. Well I think I’m replaying it and she may be playing most of it for the first time. One of us will play and the other will navigate using the walk-through and then we’ll switch up playing and navigating. The strange thing is I don’t remember liking this game all that much when I played it the first time. But I’m really enjoying it this time. Weird. Or maybe it’s just the company.  🙂Read More →

For the last week or so I’ve been rereading one of my all-time favorite romance series – Shelly Laurenston’s Pride shifter series. I’m currently on the last and my favorite Bite Me with Vic and Livy. Yum.  One of the reasons I like her writing and that series in particular is that it makes me laugh. Which for me is comfort food. And after the month I’ve had with one illness after another that’s the antidote I needed. Other readers may want to cry. I want to laugh my head off. Now I will admit that her characters and her humor aren’t going to be for everyone.Read More →
