I Like It and I Don’t Care What You Think!
Here’s the thing… I like Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Spike TV was having a marathon last weekend… as usual. And possibly in lieu of the 30th anniversary of Return of the Jedi. And sure… it’s a weak installment in the canon and I could write a list of things that didn’t work…
30th anniversary, bad ass, Clone Wars, Costumes, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Episode I, Episode VII, extended universe, foreshadowing, Jedi counsel, John Williams, marathon, original trilogy, prequels, Qui-Gon Jinn, Return of the Jedi, Spike TV, Star Wars, Star Wars Christmas Special, the Phantom Menace -
Star Trek Into Darkness

Forget the Royal Wedding… this is nerd royalty at it’s finest!!! Again… Magneto performing the wedding of Professor X!! Wait… Gandalf is officiating Captain Picard’s wedding. Anyway you slice…

Men Who Write
I am a gigantic nerd for all things Jane Austen. Many women are. In a world in which romance is rapidly vanishing, the Austen novels offer up some of the most romantic stories available to humanity! My two very favorite Austen men are Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice and Captain Wentworth from Persuasion. They…

Newsies!!
So… I never saw the movie Newsies when I was younger. I didn’t grow up loving it. For some reason I just missed out on it. I blame my parents (it’s their job to introduce me to the important things in life!!) It’s especially wrong because I have a deep and abiding love for musicals…
