One of my favorite series that I’ve done on this website is the “Geek Confessional.” It’s a chance for me to unburden myself about some of the more geeky things I’ve done or loved over the years. You can check out what I’ve admitted by clicking this link. I’ve got…
So last night, I went to see Captain America: Civil War and I’m still in shock from how awesome it is. This is easily the best superhero movie I’ve ever seen. Here’s a quick summary of the story: the Avengers are still assembling to take out bad guys, only they’re…
This past Sunday evening, I dipped my toe back into the blogosphere (do they still call it that?) and asked some questions about what you’d want to see in my little corner of the internet. If you haven’t taken the time to share your opinion yet, please do so now!…

Um, I won’t waste your time with lots of introductory stuff. This fan-made film is simply one of the best I think I’ve ever seen. Holy cow! Watch it now!
