One meme to rule them all, One meme to find them, One meme to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them

It's read-a-million-books-on-the-beach season!

We get it, you don't like AI, you don't trust it, and you think it's an abomination . Really, we get it. However, we are also old enough to remember when people said the same thing about electronic music and even about Photoshop—it's soulless, it's evil, it's technology gone amok, it's taking work from the creative people who have been honing their craft for years. Again, we get you - and we respectfully disagree. AI is a tool, and like any tool in the history of humankind it can be used for go…

Isn't it wild to think about the fact that we can be nostalgic to an era that was dominated by computers, gadgets and video games ? It seems like so much time has passed and yet nothing has really changed. Obviously today's technology is far more advanced than what we had back in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s but is it really that different? The internet was slow, but it was there. Computer screens could display 256 colors (at best), yet they still transported us into dynamic, virtual worlds. If…

Look, Listen, I like Stranger Things just as much as the next GenX nerd; It gave me hours of joy, nostalgic feeling to my childhood, some wonderfully written characters and a ton of fun and clever homages and winks to my favorite decade of all time - the 1980s. That being said - They sure did take their sweet time with this series, which is a huge problem when all your main characters are supposed to be kids riding around their neighborhood on their bicycles. No offence but eleven looks thirty…

For too long, the nerds have been divided. Each guarding their fandom as if it were a precious Arkenstone, each gatekeeping their lore for fear of contaminating it with non-canon events. For too long, the geeks have fought each other on the battleground of TV quotes and movie references, each trying to hoard their memes in the safety of their own subreddits. But I say no more! Unite, my fellow dorks and dweebs! Unite under one banner - the banner of crossover memes . We are not so different - t…

Yesterday was Lynda Carter's 73rd birthday and we wanted to salute our original Wonder Woman and tell her how much we love and appreciate her. Today's youth may only know Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman but back when I was a kid, there was the one and only Lynda Carter! She graced our screens every week (And when I say grace, I mean it! This woman was, and still is the epitome of grace). Was the TV show kind of silly and campy? Of course it was! But that was part of its charm . Lynda introduced a who…

Nobody out Jabbas the Hutt.

Less than half of what we'd hoped for

Being kind of an old geezer, I grew up on the original trilogy. I saw " Return of the Jedi " in the cinema when I was 7 and was completely hooked ever since. I made my parents buy the first two movies on VHS (which I wore out from watching on repeat). I also had the illustrated books, the toys, the soundtrack on vinyl, and whatever else Star Wars I could get my hands on. So when the prequels arrived, I was already too old to enjoy them for what they are—fantasy movies for kids, just like the or…

One meme to rule them all, One meme to find them, One meme to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them

This is a simple, yet effective formula: Take two of the greatest franchises of all time (The Muppets and Lord of the Rings ) and mash them together over and over until they stick together into a big ball of awesomeness. As a kid I remember sitting with my entire family, watching the newest episode of “The Muppets” and loving every second of it. The genius of Jim Hanson along with the sharp writing of the entire team made every episode an absolute blast. Over the years, the Muppets did their fa…
