Well, we’re almost to The Walking Dead episode 6. Hope you think better late than ever on the ep. 5 “Now” recap; consider it an extended, day of recap. We’re going in two takes, it’s not going to fully recap the show, and this week has a couple side commentaries. Leave your own comments below, whether you agree or disagree! Spoilers ahead. Take the first. Apparently, TWD has been unsteady in the ratings this season. I mention that side commentary, because I have enjoyed the story telling this year. It started off with a saga, moved into a character study, and “Now” gave us a broad picture of the emotional landscape of the resident s of Alexandria. It seemed like...
Sometimes the best events can't be planned. We have reached 10 toy sales on GA Gives Day.
Because it's GA Gives Day, that toy donation has to go to Children's Healthcare of, where else?, Atlanta. Even better, in the spirit of GA Gives Day, we're going to match our 10 sales donation with a second toy.
Next Wednesday, we'll be dropping off a Chopper plush and a Despicable Me 2 Operation, at the Hughes Spalding location.
Thank you for your purchases, and let's keep giving!
We Geek around at Have a Blast Toys & Games; let’s make this a weekly thing. People who read this blog last time around, thanks very much! Again, spoilers ahead! I’m gonna stick with my two takes and assume you have watched the show yourself. Unless you’re my friend who just has to press the red button- in this case DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE NOT UP TO DATE ON THE WALKING DEAD as of 2 November 2015. Take the first; Master Splinter and the goat were going to die. The Walking Dead can’t hit every note perfectly. Having an inevitable conclusion takes a little air out of the drama. I guess my biggest disappointment was the way...
Ok, everyone take a deep breath and stop reading this if you don’t want me to spoil The Walking Dead all over the place. Buy something on your way out please? We got Rick, Daryl, and some fun Mystery Minis. It’s Tuesday. Like my Force Awakens post, I feel everyone needs time to process a major geek moment. Also, I didn’t watch episode three live (we’re experimenting with cord cutting…), so I couldn’t respond to the minute if I wanted to! I’m going to write in two takes again and save the controversy for last. Take the first, despite the three side stories; this was Rick’s episode (a Rickasode?). Everything that happened had Rick’s either obvious or thematic influence. After...
A few days (and a few viewings) have passed since The Force Awakens epic trailer. Here are my two takes. No spoilers, but if you don’t want to read half-baked fanboy theories, leave now. Please buy something on your way out? Take the first, I’m 100% bought in now. I was honestly afraid that JJ Abrams was going to basically make Star Wars (1977) into Star Wars (2015). A Resistance, a First Order, a Jedi, a Heroine, and a Flyboy? Thus would turn the Hollywood merry go round. Harrison Ford (Mr. “It’s all true.”) laid aside all my worries. That quote really hammered home the 30 years later in the movie! They can’t just remake Star Wars! If they...
