Have you ever read somthing that was so ignorant and derogatory,  that you don’t what to say or how to address it.   Well if  you haven’t here it is.   I don’t know if this is a bad attempt at humor or just a really bad list by a ignorant person.

I saw The Happening around the same time I saw The Incredible Hulk, but chose to not do a quick review at the time. Now that I’ve had time to process the movie, I feel like I have to say something about it. There is nothing wrong with a director doing a [...]

This is a great article. I think it really gives some insight into “Fanboys”. Now I only wish they would give the Fanboys who tend to look more like Lando than Legolas (if you know what I mean) their props. Translation everybody at your con doesn’t like Heavy Metal or Folk Music. Can we get [...]

Surfing the internet as we are proned to do, I found an interesting website about Black Women in Science Fiction. I can’t tell when the last time the site was updated, but I found the list…curious.
