Take That, World. It’s Captain AMERICA!

March 30th, 2011 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

You know, when Captain America is released in Europe and Asia, the title will be changed to reflect a new political correctness of  ridiculous proportions. So, this guy on YouTube redid the trailer. It’s not safe for work or young minds. It’s funny in the way that we now believe that we have to bend […]

Sucker Punch Movie Review

March 28th, 2011 | Posted in Movies

Have you ever been sucker punched? Basically, you never see it coming, it’s a sudden pain you were not expecting, and afterwards you are left confused and wondering where the hell it came from, and more importantly, WHY. Zack Snyder’s first original story for the big screen left me feeling the same way.

Your Opinion is Bad and You Should Feel Bad

March 28th, 2011 | Posted in Daily Rants

So in light of our latest podcast, it was brought to my attention that I have tastes that might…deviate from the norm.  No, I’m not talking about Wonder Woman and how I think her suit is SO AWESOME (it’s not), but specifically American Gods by Neil Gaiman.  That’s right, Kriana, I thought that book was […]

My name is Maynard Winter. My journey is beginning. A journey that I hope will open the doors of gothic horror to me. With the theatrical adaptation of Dark Shadows looming just a year away, my goal is to watch as much of the original series as I can, and share my thoughts on the […]

There has been a lot of drama and controversy surrounding the Firefly ‘verse lately regarding who will or will not win the lottery and start it up again. These people are missing out. Firefly is alive and well, not only in the hearts of it’s fans, but also with the new(ish) independent film: Browncoats: Redemption. […]

Deus Ex Machina

March 18th, 2011 | Posted in Daily Rants, Literature

I thought I’d write a somewhat more speculative article this week (with more potential for controversy, I suppose) about one of my favorite authors–Isaac Asimov. In particular, I’d like to look at whether the good Doctor might have gone one step beyond his acknowledged battle against the “Frankenstein Complex” in some of his writings. Asimov’s […]

See, she loves her some vampire books, but vampire books are apparently really hard to write.

I For One Welcome Our New Fungal Overlords

March 17th, 2011 | Posted in Daily Rants

  Zombies. People seem to have really fallen in love with the genre in the past few years. I remember watching both Resident Evil AND Shaun of the Dead the same night at our local theater, and then dragging my husband back to watch it AGAIN. I was at the edge of my seat during […]
