Unpopular Opinion: The Phantom Menace Wasn’t A Bad Movie

by Unknown's avatar

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OVfjn-lrsk Shaddap! Okay we all remember Episode 1 being the most anticipated movie in almost all of history. Fans were nuts! Action figures literally flew off of the shelves (I think I still have a few) and people were ready for Star Wars fever. We’ve been without a new movie for over a decade and were itching for this. What we got… did … Read More Unpopular Opinion: The Phantom Menace Wasn’t A Bad Movie

So we all know how most people feel about the special remastered editions of Star Wars that are sadly now the ‘official’ editions. The theatrical versions that we all know and love have been relegated to the bonus features on ONE release of the DVDs due to Lucas trying to erase them from history. Most of the fans will tell you that Episode 4 … Read More How ROTJ’s Special Edition Could Have Been Saved

Star Wars fans vs. CGI

by Unknown's avatar

I’ve seen a lot of reviews for Rogue One, many of the say it was great, several say ‘not so much.’ Personally, I can understand both sides. This is not a typical Star Wars movie.

by Unknown's avatar

I’ve heard a lot of talk lately since Trump was elected about how ‘We’ve  won the war against the regressive left!’ How their party, the democrats, are now in shambles as the republicans now dominate the senate, house, White House, soon the Supreme Court… and the majority of the elected governors.

The Nazis are Bad!

by Unknown's avatar

There seems to be a rather annoying trend… I won’t say recently because it’s been going on for years, which is why it’s getting annoying. This trend is something we see in all mediums and it follows the same basic formula: Bad Guy + Nazi Imagery = Effective Villain. That’s right… is your bad guy lacking in back story? Are they just not cutting … Read More The Nazis are Bad!

I want to take a few minutes to talk about action figures. For years now, I’ve been collecting Star Wars and Superhero figures. Usually I buy two of each; one in package, the other out to play with my boys with. That way I always have a collectible.
