I Spy an Awesome Kid’s Movie: Cloak & Dagger (1984)
You might recall this movie as that time the kid from E.T. got chased by spies, and something or other involving an Atari game of the same name. Cloak & Dagger is a 1984 kid-centric, spy-themed movie that stars Henry Thomas (who played Elliott in E.T: The Extra...
Patrick Bateman wants to show you his Pokemon.
If you listened to the latest episode of the Cult Film Club podcast, you know I'm a huge American Psycho fan and ranked it #1 on my list of favorite cult films of all time. And just from a casual look around this blog, you know I love all things Nintendo. So I...
Oh hello, huge box of TMNT & Nintendo Stuff!
Have I told you lately how much I love The League of Extraordinary Bloggers? Just look at this big box full of cool stuff that our great leader Brian of Cool and Collected sent me: Getting this truly awesome care package in the mail put a huge smile on my face and...

I think I’m in love…with this guy’s insanely cool pop culture artwork.
When I first caught a glimpse of these bleeding cool pop culture portraits by Chilean artist Fabian Ciraolo, my eyes nearly melted in their sockets. It's like he's managed to tap into my stream of consciousness--where there exists a nebulous mashup of music, pop...
Saw it. Loved it. Cried a lot. Now I can’t stop comparing.
My sister and I saw Les Miserables over the weekend. If you're planning to see it, A) make sure you like musicals, and B) make sure you really like musicals, because it is literally over two and a half hours of singing. I only say this because some people seem not...
My childhood arrived in a TurtleVan.
Well, technically it arrived in a box from Amazon.com. One of the shittiest things about breaking up right before Christmas was having to return all the gifts I bought for my boyfriend (actually, the shittiest part was having to unwrap them first, then return...
You guys are the best. (More Christmas stuff & thanks!)
Over the holiday break a number of different packages arrived unexpectedly on my doorstep--Christmas gifts from some of my favorite people! This has been one of the hardest holidays I've ever had to get through, but coming home to these little surprises really...
Miss Bliss, we need to have a serious talk about your best friend’s wardrobe.
Ah, good old Tina Paladrino: Teacher. Sidekick. Fashion victim. Even back in 1988, I have no idea where you would have been able to buy outfits as tacky as hers. They're even tacky for Saved by the Bell, perhaps only a slight improvement over Nikki, who was kind of...
Could ‘House of Secrets’ be the next Harry Potter?
It's been a while since I checked up on House of Secrets, an upcoming trilogy of fantasy adventure books for children being penned by Chris Columbus (yes, the same guy who directed the first two Harry Potter films) and author Ned Vizzini. I had heard about it...
New Retro Wave: The 80’s Dream Compilation Tape
