Like I Said...


My collection is growing. New Doom Patrol figures added, along with Egon and Winston (with Slime Blower) from Ghostbusters 2 and a Funko Pop of Commander Lexa from The 100.

Ghostbusters: Answer The Call

Image
I'll be honest. When the news came out that Paul Feig was rebooting Ghostbusters (the original movie is in my Top 5 films of all time) I was excited. Finally! A new Ghostbusters movie. It didn't really matter to me that there would be new characters (that was to be expected) or that it would be a reboot (although that wasn't the route I would have chosen). I was just excited for some new Ghostbusters adventures. But when I saw the movie in the theater I was disappointed. It wasn't funny enough. There were problems with the plot (they catch ONE ghost and then suddenly they're prepared for a ghost apocalypse?) and how cartoony it got at the end with Rowan turning into the Ghostbusters logo ghost.

Things Have Changed

I spent most of the last year living off of my credit card and only now that I've gotten some money back from my income tax back have I been able to pay it down some.

I haven't watched every episode of Doctor Who. I've only seen a handful of adventures featuring the Classic Doctors. I've never watched the Doctor Who movie with Paul McGann in full. In fact, I didn't really know anything about the show until Matt Smith was cast the 11th Doctor. When his casting was announced I didn't understand what all of the fuss was about. Some friends of mine from the U.K. explained the premise of the show to me: an alien with two hearts travels through time and space in a blue box saving the universe from monsters and every so often (when ratings drop or the main actor feels the need to leave) the Doctor changes his appearance. Basically, this Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey "dies" and has to regenerate his body to such a degree that it completely changes. My friends also recommended that I watch a few episodes before Matt Smith's debut to get more familiar with the concept and the series as a whole. So I started with ...
