Deadpool! Finally saw it. Yeah, the weekend we were going to go initially I was in the hospital, then more surgical crap, then the plague… So, yes, last night we went to the boozy theater and finally watched Deadpool. I loved it. It was not without its problematic bits. There was a transphobic joke, a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #322 – Review: Deadpool
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is the boldest superhero film yet with some of the choices it makes. A few quibbles aside, it delivers the goods and then some. See it. The ending alone is worth it. Eighteen months after much of Metropolis was destroyed during the conflict between Superman (Henry Cavill) and General… Read More Review: Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
In spite of the head cold of doom’s best efforts, I had a good time at Norwescon. You may have noticed that I hadn’t been posting much for the last month, well, I had a little health issue. I had a kidney stone, that turned into an infection, that led to something else… I’m all… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #321 – Norwescon 2016
Ok, I love ThinkGeek.com as much as the next nerd with occasional disposable income. But sometimes, man… These images were on their “Valentine’s” email: Really? A scarf? While he gets the super cool Captain America shield backpack I’ve been coveting for a year? Sexist much? Now, to cut them some slack, on the page… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #320 – Really, ThinkGeek?
Well, fingers, but seriously… So on Geek Girls Rule #216 about Kickstarter banning a card game focused on rape, I just recently got this comment from someone calling himself Sensei (could you be more pathetic?): Okay then next we ban everything that someone else cant stomach. If you have been raped, well shit im sorry,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #319 – Did those words really leave your mouth?
Ok, so Captain America: Civil War is due to come out around my birthday. I will undoubtedly go see it, probably opening weekend. But I don’t entirely know how I feel about it. See, I hate the Civil War storyline. Hate it. Look, Mark Millar, I get it. When you wrote Wanted, it was all… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #318 – Team Cap All the Way
So, I’ve talked about this show in a few places now. Short: It’s brilliant. Now for the long version. Jessica Jones is, hands down, the best depiction I have ever seen of a sexual assault survivor dealing with PTSD and its assorted symptoms, like hyper-vigilance, flashbacks, nightmares and the like. Krysten Ritter is fantastic as… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #317 – Review: Jessica Jones
I don’t have a lot to dispute regarding Danielle’s review. However, I did want to talk about my own feelings regarding this franchise and world. I saw the original Star Wars in the theater when I was 6. I was Leia for Halloween the next year, and my sister and I had Darth Vader and… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #316 – Star Wars: The Force Awakens – GGR’s Review
It will thrill you. It will make you laugh. It will break your heart. What it won’t do is disappoint you. Without spoiling things, it’s the story of Finn (John Boyega) and Rey (Daisy Ridley), how they meet Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), and how they come to oppose the First Order… Read More Review: Star Wars ep. : The Force Awakens
Ok, so there’s been a lot going on at the Geek House What Rules. I had my gallbladder out last year, and that was more of an ordeal than I was promised. So it’s been a year adjusting to a new diet and the fact that many of the foods I love do horrible things… Read More I’m Baaaaaaaack!
