The Black Hole (1979)
I remember having the V.I.N.C.E.N.T. and Maximilian pencil holders when I was a kid, as well as some of the action figures, the soundtrack album, as well as the storybook album, the comics and finally I had a giant puzzle from the CNE one year.

IDW Star Trek (Ongoing) – Issue 1 & 2 – Where No Man Has Gone Before
I dabble in comics occasionally, Superman, Batman, Justice League, Buffy, Iron Man. For the longest time, I had fallen out of them, but am slowly finding my way back in.

Prometheus (2012) – Some Thoughts and Questions…
Prometheus is a film with some big ideas. This is a film I’ve been looking forward to since I learned Sir Ridley was returning to the universe that he helped create and establish. Is Prometheus a perfect movie? Far from, many of the secondary characters and even some of the leads are interchangeable. But it’s…
Niagara Falls Comic Con
Sue and I are on our way to the Niagara Falls Comic Con this morning. We both stayed up way too late last night to see Prometheus (more on that soon), and had to rouse ourselves at 4 in the morning. Did you know it’s still dark then? We met up at the local bus…
