There are those elements of your childhood that you'll always remember. There are those toys that you'll always look for in bargain bins or the TV shows that you enjoyed. One of the more major parts of my childhood are all the cartoons that I used to watch, and believe me there were a lot of them.
In recent years, it seems to have become hip and highly marketable for movie studios, TV networks and even comic book companies to revisit the cartoons of our youth and update them for modern times... Read Full Story
Unless you're a Filipino queer hiding under a rock, you should know by now that the COMELEC has rejected Ang Ladlad's second party list bid for the second time. Back in March 2007, the COMELEC rejected Ang Ladlad's application as a party list on the grounds that it could not prove that its membership was national in scope. Now they've totally changed their tune for the worst.
For those not so familiar with the group, Ang Ladlad is a Filipino political party devoted to fighting for the rights... Read Full Story
I love Mel Brooks movies.
For this, I only have my dearly departed father to blame. He got me into this particular brand of comedy, including the Airplane! movies and Leslie Nielsen's Naked Gun movies and this probably helped contribute to my overall geekiness over the years. Mel Brooks humor is rather unique in its dry humor, generous use of puns and sight gags and other elements of "lower" humor. However he's known for doing this in a dynamic and witty way that requires the viewer to exer... Read Full Story

Despite the fact that the show managed to come back for a second season despite poor ratings, FOX has finally decided to cancel Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. This was pretty much a sure bet as soon as they announced that the show was going on a month-long break for November and would come back in December.
At the very least, it's been announced that the network will at least finish the show's current... Read Full Story

I'm not promising anything spectacular - I just wanted to take the time today to discuss what each one is.
Yeah, I guess I'm in a geeky training mode today. It is my job after all.

The second week of my first-ever NaNoWriMo is well on it's way and I'm happy to report to you all that I'm happily at 14,001 words.
Sure, based on my daily quota I really should be at around 16,667 words, but that doesn't mean my current word count is not cause to celebrate. Admittedly, I never thought that I would have gotten this far a month ago and so I'm going to keep pushing on in the hopes that I get somewhere with my writing. It'll be even better if I actually get to finish the darne... Read Full Story

Quentin Tarantino has become known for his violent yet quirky movies that are not quite like anything we've seen in a while and yet they're also very, very familiar. He has a passion for classic film genres and he celebrates a lot of the more eccentric movies as seen in the homages he manages to insert into his productions.
And thus he's developed quite the fan following and I myself had a passion for Tarantino films. If you can get past all the swearing and the cartoon violence and gore, yo... Read Full Story
