Why Angell Conwell Should Have Been The New Wonder Woman

I was never the biggest fan of Wonder Woman. I did however on occasion in my youth watch syndicated re-runs of the 1970′s television adaptation of the show starring Lynda Carter as the DC Comics character. Although it lasted only three years and jumped networks in the middle of it’s run, Lynda Carter still stands... Read more »

Young Money rapper Nicki Minaj seems to be the biggest female rapper out there at the moment. When people, especially men, discuss how big she is, they are hardly referring to her rap skills; they are referring to junk in her trunk.  It seems to be working for her in terms of getting the media’s...

Like anyone else I first looked to Wikipedia for information on the production of this film. Searching through it I came across... Read more »

Some Doctor Who Fans Need A Better Defense For Their Show

Ratings. Appreciation Indexes. The word “millions”. I strangely used one, or all three of these types of answers in a blog post on someone else’s site who got pissed off with all of the attention that last Harry Potter film received. That blog post however was about the money people put towards fantasy films, it... Read more »

Why The BBC Should Cancel Doctor Who

(I have made two attempts to explain why this show should be put to rest. This will be my last attempt to do so.) Before I go on as to why I believe Doctor Who should be canceled, I should let it be known that I actually liked a few episodes of the new series... Read more »
