  • Indy is Returning to Film and Comics

    Indiana Jones for a new generation… Lucasfilm’s celebrated action/adventure hero, Indiana Jones, the forerunner of popular characters such as Lara Croft, will be making a triumphant return in 2008 with the yet-to-be-titled fourth installment of the Indiana Jones film series.

  • SDCC Exclusives

    Personally I hate exclusives. And I especially hate them when they are impossible to get. I am referring to the Star Trek Snoopy and Woodstock bobble heads from Funko. Which are only available at San Diego Comic Con [going on right now].  Being on the east coast I cannot easily or affordably head over and…

  • There Once Was a drink from Nantucket…

    I recently heard a commercial on the radio for Nantucket Nectars which rubs me the wrong way. Don’t get me wrong I really enjoy there drinks. It is just this commercial drives me nuts.  It starts with the saying they are playing a spelling game, but instead of ever spelling anything all they do is…

  • Bad Time Equals Good Times

    You might wonder how that can be, but sometimes something is just so awful that it becomes laughable. That was the case when we visited the restaurant On The Border in Exton last night. Let me start at the beginning. We arrived and were promptly taken to our table. Nothing wrong there. Well that was…

  • FEARnet on demand video sucks

    As an on demand service under the movie category I expect certain things. One of which is no commercials. They have put commercials smack in the middle of their films. When I first heard about this new service from Comcast I was very happy, especially since we do not get the channels that Direct TV…

  • Battlestar Galactica is done for….

    Well the writing is on the wall for this great series. The powers that be have annouced that Battlestar Galactica will be ending with the fourth season which will be starting in November with a 2 hour episode but officially begins in early 2008. The shows creators think the story was heading to a climax…

  • Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus

    This film, [amazon_link id=”B000XW5A50″ target=”_blank” ]Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus[/amazon_link], which is very loosely based on Diane Arbus is pure fantasy. The title an imaginary portrait does not even begin to touch on how imaginary this really is. As one reviewer put it, this is “a modern day beauty and the beast”. Nicole…

  • Star Wars is getting a FatHead [so to speak]

    It is the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars and everything seems to be turning into something from a galaxy far, far away. Take a look at the US post office for one. R2D2 mailboxes have been popping up in cities all over the country. And now FatHead is bringing us some great Star Wars wall…

  • Denny Crane Quote

    I finally watched the season finale of Boston Legal and William Shatners character Denny Crane is the greatest. I hate to say it but I think this is the Shatner’s best role ever. Quote from the finale that stuck in my head was…  “I once captained my own spaceship…[I’m] multi-talented. “

  • Wacko Woman at Walmart

    I was in the parking lot of the local Wal-Mart [so that should tell you the type of people we are dealing with here] when I heard this woman screaming F*** this and F*** that on the top of her lungs. So of course I had to look and listen while putting my groceries into…

  • Batwoman on My Desk

    I got an opener figure today at Suncoast Video. And a discount to boot [the package was all smashed]. Wahoo! She was immediately ripped open, stuck on her stand and placed on a spot of honor on my desk at work. Figre description: Direct from the pages of DC’s Weekly Blockbuster comes Batwoman. Standing at…
