Meme-vengers... Assemble!

I sometimes think about the information that is stored in my Brain and how it's about 85% movie quotes and useless trivia about pop culture. If you asked me what my social security number was or what I had for breakfast I Would just stand there, staring at you for a good minute until I give up and declare that I have no idea. But for some reason , I know that Gandalf's horse is called Shadowfax and that the planet in the alien movie is called lv-426. Why? Why would my Brain decide to store that…

This listicle features some the most timeless and iconic movie posters in movie history, and they were all illustrated by one man - Drew Struzan. Now, I'll be honest with you, I never actually given any real thought as to who actually made all these movie posters, simply because I took them for granted. It made sense that awesome movies have awesome posters. I guess I just figured that the studios reach out to several different artists and end up picking the best one and that there was an agree…

I knew all those years of watching TV endlessly and reading Sci-fi books would pay off! All that time I spent reading obscure lord of the Rings facts and watching YouTube deep dives into the intricate history of the Star Wars Universe. Hours upon hours spent in unknown reddit threads, reading overly detailed fan theories and searching through endless Facebook discussions, cramming each piece of useless information into my rotting mind have finally paid off - I got the obscure reference behind t…

You have a weird sense of humor—FALSE! The jokes and memes you like are objectively funny; they just require prior knowledge of certain pop culture cornerstones that not everyone possesses. While other people's interests and references are based on current world events and mainstream celebrity culture, yours are more obscure and specific. One might even say, more sophisticated. Don't get me wrong, it's still super silly and immature, but it's built on a much more intelligent foundation . For in…

For too long have the nerds 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 have the geeks had to fight 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 Nerds and Geeks, My fellow dorks and dweebs! Unite under one banner - the banner of crossover meme…

There are so many signs out there. Every moment you spend outside your house, you are bombarded with signs—advertisements, traffic signs, warnings, detours, notes, and even small stickers or graffiti. Signs are everywhere! In fact, we have so many signs that we tend to just block them out completely (which kind of defeats the whole purpose behind signs). In today's urban jungle , you have to stand out—like a bird with crazy colorful feathers or a monkey with a big red butt! One surefire way to…

Have you ever worked on something for years? I mean really poured your heart and soul into it, giving it all you've got. I can tell you that, personally, I have been working on a book for the past several years and I am nearly finished. But now I am absolutely terrified of actually showing it to anyone because after putting so much work into it, I don't think I could handle any kind of rejection. It would be devastating! Well, think about J.K. Rowling , who worked on the first book for over fiv…

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…

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…

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…
