One of my favorite shows is “Game of Thrones.” I love the show so much I immediately began reading the books. Author George R.R. Martin has created a vast, fascinating world populated with unique and memorable characters. Some of these characters stories are not only compelling but are also great premises for sitcoms. So, here’s a list of sitcom spin offs for “Game of Thrones.” Feel free to leave comments. (more…)

Love him or hate him, Grant Morrison can always start a conversation. As one of the most successful writers in comic books, Grant Morrison’s body of work boasts legendary runs on New X-Men, JLA, All Star Superman, We3, and Arkham Asylum: A Strange House on Strange Earth. (Which I adapted into a play. Yes, shameless plug) While others like The Invisibles, The Filth, and Final Crisis have been called incomprehensible. One way or another people have an opinion of him. So when I found out his writing a book about super heroes and philosophy, I was curious. (more…)

Happy New Year everyone! To kick things off I thought I’d post the second half of the “My Favorite Comics” series of posts with my favorites from DC. Please remember like the Marvel one this is *not* a complete list and I am sure to have left out something. But, that’s what these things are supposed to be. I also included links to places where you can purchase these books. So here goes… (more…)
My Favorite Christmas Specials

Since it’s Christmas Eve and I’m in the spirit of the season I’ve decided to compile a list of my favorite Christmas movies and TV Specials. Some are beloved classics while others make you wonder, “What on Earth is he thinking?” but I love them anyway. None of these are in any particular order, but the higher on the list something is the more I enjoy it. Have a Merry White Christmas (speaking of which, check my latest edition of “Todd’s Take”, “Stopping by Ring of Honor on a Snowy Evening”. I know it’s a shameless plug but I needed to get it in somewhere.) and enjoy my picks…
