Illustrator Andrew Wilson has done a fantastic job creating the following poster in celebration of some of the greatest movies of 1988. Can you recognize all four movies referenced in the poster? I’m loving the tributes to Akira and Beetlejuice, but I’m a bit disappointed that another great 1988 movie — Die Hard — wasn’t included. (Did you […]
The Movie Genres Recipe [Infographic]
Here are some popular movie genres, visually boiled down to their basic components. I especially love the last element of the Alien Invasion Movie Recipe! It’s interesting to see how many of my favorite films follow these recipes to a tee; I guess it just goes to show that formulas for success exist for a […]
Wacky Street Fighter Characters
What if Ronald McDonald were to face Colonel Sanders in a Street Fighter-style brawl? How about Waldo (of “Where’s Waldo?” fame) matched up against the Michelin Man?

A Handy Vampire Hunter Comparison Chart
Sorry for the lack of posts as of late. Just as Claire got better from her cold, I caught it…and managed to pass it on to Aerin as well. 🙁 The good news? J’s parents gave me some Chinese cough medicine that made me feel infinitely better. Only when I looked at the label did I […]

‘Mad Men’ Prototype Barbie Dolls
I confess that when I watched the first season of Mad Men, I couldn’t understand what the big hype was about. Sure, the costumes were spectacular and nostalgia for this era was understandable, but I believed the plot and storyline were a bit too dry for my taste. But I kept watching, and boy, am […]
