In 3 days, 19 hours and some odd minutes, I will be journeying to Middle-Earth #OneLastTime. I don’t know about you, but this whole #OneLastTime hashtag business is a pretty genius marketing scheme for The Hobbit. They aren’t going to let us forget that this is the last Middle-Earth movie, and they’re not going to…
It’s long been known that Stephen Colbert (my spirit animal) is a die-hard Silmarillion-reading Tolkien fan, but this week, the week before the last Middle-Earth movie, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, is released in theaters, and also the week before Stephen’s last episode of The Colbert Report airs on Comedy Central, Stephen did more to…
When it comes to Thrones, I arrived late to the Game. While many of my friends have been watching the series since 2011, or even reading the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin since 1996, I only started watching and reading this year. I received the first season on DVD…
It is currently 7:30 in the morning, United States Central Time. The first moment from Half-Blood Prince (from chapter two, it is called “Spinner’s End, Cokeworth”) was just released half an hour ago. In order to view it, however, you need to solve the riddle and enter the password. Here is the riddle, in picture form,…
The date was May 3rd, 2008. My two closest friends and I were sitting on a hill on campus, brand-new tobacco pipes in hand, like regular Sherlocks. (Side note: this date is the one and only time I’ve used said pipe, though I do still have it.) Reminiscing. Contemplating. Wondering what the future might have in…
Never have I been more disappointed at news regarding new content on Pottermore. Read on, and you’ll see why. Misleading Muggle Media gets it wrong yet again Once again, the “muggle news media” is going on and on about “new Harry Potter stories”, and this time, the headlines are even more misleading than they have been…
Almost a year ago, I shared my thoughts on the whole “originals vs prequels” debate. (I would highly suggest reading that article before reading this one. One, because I’m actually quite proud of that article, and two, because some things in this article won’t make sense unless you read that one first.) Now, finally, I…
Really? Honestly? Seriously? I was already pretty emotional just with the anticipation for The Battle of the Five Armies, then the release of the audio track for this song happened, and then Billy Boyd had to go and make a music video? Do you get that I am running out of metaphors to describe the exaggerated flow…
Despite the announcement early last week that the Jurassic World trailer would be released on Thanksgiving Day, the powers that be gave us a surprise gift and released the trailer two days early. Unfortunately, my long weekend was busy with family gatherings, so I wasn’t able to write about the trailer until now. However, I…
Black Friday has now passed us by and Cyber Monday is mere hours away. This is the perfect time to ask yourselves: Do you have enough ornaments for your tree? Are they geeky enough to be the envy of your friends when they visit you for the holidays? If the answer to either of those…
