Reading Time: 3 minutes There is something special about adding an experiential element to the movie viewing experience.

Reading Time: 11 minutes Me and Don Rosa at Minnesota Fan Fusion 2018. Conventions are stressful affairs, fraught with peril and, usually, good things. It’s getting there that’s the trick. I typically attend my local comic conventions, SpringCon and FallCon, which are very specifically comics-oriented. There’s a cosplay section and artist’s alley for people who […]

Reading Time: 5 minutes 1. Is it based on a true story? No, which to me seemed strange, though not exactly disappointing. The movie’s title character has “Robin” for a last name, instead of a middle name as it of course was for author A.A. Milne’s son. In the world of the movie, all the […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes Season 1 of Star Trek: Discovery was darker than we all expected, but it introduced us to a crew we care about, and gave us some of the best space action we’ve seen on TV. Season 2 looks like it’s going to settle into a move exploratory feel, like The Original […]

Reading Time: 3 minutes Energon Igniters will be released in a variety of sizes. (Image: Hasbro) Muscle cars, VW bugs, Peterbilt trucks…if you didn’t know any better, you’d think these could be reworks of the original Transformers from 1984.

Reading Time: 7 minutes   There has been a ton of press about MoviePass, the movie subscription service that allows you to see basically unlimited movies for $10 a month, ever since they dramatically lowered the price last fall.
