Aliens is 35 and the header

Aliens remains a masterpiece and James Cameron’s best movie with a real budget. The Terminator is his best with limited money, making it a semi-Indie flick. After these two, I’m not really sold on the remainder because they’re more “Wow! What effects!” which is Titanic; it … Continue reading

In case you don’t know the difference

I couldn’t let October completely pass without a little nod to Italian heritage. This visual joke comes courtesy of my cousin Dana. Pretty funny and accurate since there’s an old joke about us…ahem! How do you make an Italian shut … Continue reading

Two new crossover comics for the Summer of ’16

It’s always exciting to see favorite characters from different owners/licensees get together!

Neat, odd and great crossover comics

Get away from the Alamo you bitch!

Now here are some positive role models!

I bought this design for a young lady who I want to know that women heroes (or heroines) have been kicking ass, saving the world/galaxy/human race and are in charge. Of course I have this shirt too, I grew up … Continue reading
