Fan Friction: Ranking Disney Royalty

Man, oh man this was hard, dudes. Deciding who to rank, who is royalty enough, who is too royal for their own good, and then putting them in order from yuck to yay? Ugh. Especially for Disneycentric rankings it’s easy for things to get out of hand and I had to draw … Get hard

SPOILERS. I have so many thoughts on Bryan Singers’ long awaited third installment of the X-Men franchise.

While it seems that the fangirl culture … Get hard

Autobiography in Movies: “X-Men”

Optional Music Accompaniment: The theme to the X-MEN animated series. On repeat.  I’ve always been a man defined by his hobbies and obsessions, whether it be Ninja Turtles, baseball, Beanie Babies, Star Wars, fantasy sports, or TV.

“Once Upon A Time” There Was A Surprisingly Brilliant Revival

When Did “Grimm” Get Awesome?
