75th anniversary of Batman

                Ahh, today is the day, the big 7-5.  If you are unsure of what I am talking about I am talking about the 75th anniversary of Batman.  It is a huge occasion in the comic book world that Batman has been around for 75 years now.  Batman was created in 1939 by artist Bob Kane and written by Bill Finger when he first showed up in Detective Comics #27.  So in following in these footsteps I would like to point out the top 3 comics that every Batman fan should read in order to honor the legacy of Mr. Kane and Mr. Finger, so enjoy and check it them out because they are some great reads. Enjoy!

                Batman: Knightfall -  In this classic story, Bane escapes from prison in order to hatch his best plan yet, cause a huge riot with the other inmates of Arkham and cause Batman to attack them all so he can break the bat.  Thus a new Batman is chosen who goes by the name of Azrael, and dispenses his own brand of justice.  It is worth a read to any Batman fan and you can see just how much of 90’s cheese and cliché it really is. 

                Batman: Hush – Another great one, also done by my favorite artist Mr. Lee.  This one has Batman fighting a brand new enemy who can take on the face of anyone he knows while he also brings back some old foes and even old friends and heroes to make Batman question who he really is.  This one even goes so far to make it my number one Batman comic and I even own it in my own collection, such an amazing ride from start to finish. 

                Batman: A Death of the Family -   This one takes place in the new 52 continuity and uses all of the bat family in order to rope the viewer in.  After a year of the Joker thought to be dead, he returns with a brand new plan to rid himself of the Batman family so it can only be him and the bat.  While trying to kill off other members of the family, Batman makes a startling realization of his own.  Such a great read that it deserves to be in every collector’s collection.


                There you have it, the top 3 batman storylines that everyone should read.  Just in time for the 75th anniversary of the Batman. Have a great night all.

Movies That Matter

So me being the movie man that I am have decided to do more of an opinion piece rather than a review today. So for today is something I have been thinking about for a while now . MOVIES THAT MATTER .  I will take 3 or my favorite genres and give you 3 movies per area that you should see at least once and why they matter. Also they are some of my all-time favorites SCI-FI ·          Blade Runner- I pick this as my number one science fiction movie for a few reasons. One, with this movie it gave way to large scale visual effects. Two, Ridley Scott took the existing source material and translated it into something that everyone could enjoy.  Three, this movie helped pave the way for the cyberpunk genre and made more people aware of it. ·          Pandorum- This one was a lesser known sci-fi flick that came out a few years ago but damn was it creepy and kept you guessing until the very end....

The Age of Comic Books

            Comics, we all love them and some of us have even heard of them, but when was the last time you sat down and truly thought about them and their origins.  How they came about and what was the first one.  When did you think about the writers from each comic, to the artists, even the overarching narrative they strive to tell? We all have found ourselves at one point trying to get into a comic or even just reading it without much knowledge about it. That is where I plan on taking you all, down this little rabbit hole of comics and the people behind it. Each comic book has its own following, whether you care about the person, the story, the artist, or even the writer and company.  The special thing about them is no matter what angle you look at them, you in your own right will find something redeeming about the comic in question. . Comic books have been around since the 1930s with the introduction of Famous Funnies . Acro...

Meditation from a friend

     This was a nice piece of advice written by a friend of mine.  All credit goes to  Kenzo Keophakdy .  Smart man, he is helping me out along with a few others.  here is the piece he wrote. Meditation is basically a training method for your mind. When certain things happen to you, your mind generates a certain response whether it be happiness, frustration, anger ect. The way your mind has been inculcated is the path of least resistance and the path it wants to take, and will take unless you know how to mitigate it. Meditation teaches you how and makes it easier to override the process. Who is doing the overriding of this process? Well, that's the million dollar question. But I digress. So here's what I'm getting at: if meditation is too easy, you're doing something wrong. You might be getting yourself really relaxed, but is it possible that's all you're doing? Not saying it is. I don't know, just throwing some ideas out there and it's up to you ...
