Joss Whedon quit Twitter a few days ago. He hasn’t said exactly why, but I think we can all use some educated guessing and rampant speculation to assume that it is because everyone on Twitter was shouting at him. You see, there are some people very angry about his new movie, Avengers: Age of Ultron. They […]

The 10 Movies You HAVE to See this Summer, If I Am Going to Win My Fantasy Summer Movie League
I was at my niece’s birthday party when Cave Dane jumped out of the shadows and announced a surprise fantasy movie draft. Some of you may remember that last summer my brother-in-law decided to run a fantasy league for summer movies, in which we all got a pool of money with which to purchase summer […]
The Pros and Cons of a New Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Spin-off
It was just leaked/announced that Marvel is developing a spin-off show from its popular hit “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” This is exciting news for me, because I love that show and all things Marvel. It is also exciting because the last spin-off they did, “Marvel’s Agent Carter,” was so ridiculously awesome. Seriously. If you did not […]
50 Things Only 10-sies Kids Can Understand
Signs that you were raised in the greatest generation, with a childhood from 2010-2019!

We are spending the month looking for meaning in the media, specifically in movies and television. The movie I decided to focus on is “The Avengers.” Not the 1998 film […]
The Greatest Crossovers of All Time
There is nothing like a good crossover. It’s the reason why “The Avengers” was the number one movie last year, and why there is so much fan-fiction written that attempts to blend two different universes. There is just something inherently exciting and geek-tastic about two (or more) of your favorite characters meeting and interacting. I […]
The Problem With My Brain
There is a problem with my brain. I suspect that I may have ADD. Or ADHD. Or whatever they are calling it these days. Thinking about it now, I was definitely that kid back in school, and even though they didn’t have Ritalin in those days, I’m sure they would have tried to give it […]

Hey, where did that Hulk come from!? Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor, together at last! When Disney bought Marvel, they made one small change […]
Letting Go: Further Confessions of a Former Collector
As many of you will know from a previous post, I am in the process of cleaning out my life. I am trying to get over my attachment to stuff, and as I have recently learned, it is not so much a decision as it is a slow, painful journey. As part of my rehabilitation, […]
A Well Rounded Child
Sometimes I worry that my children are going to be too much like me. I mean, of course they are going to be somewhat like me, but really what I hope is that they can take all the best parts of me, plus the best parts of everyone else on the planet, and become some […]
