Star Wars memories
This weekend Star Wars Celebration begins, and I couldn't be more excited. Star Wars has played such a huge part of my life, I can't remember a time when I wasn't a fan. I was so nuts about the toys I couldn't even part with them while I slept.

Unhappily Ever After: The Little Mermaid
In this picture, I imagined an alternate timeline where Prince Eric drowned during his battle with Ursula, and brokenhearted, Ariel kept his remains in her undersea grotto.

My namesake
Not many people know this, but I was actually named after this brave man. My great great great grandfather, Jefferson S. Victor IV fought bravely, but lost his life in the great robot uprising of 1878. This is the only known photograph of him.

The Secret of Nimh
For children of a certain age, this movie left an indelible impression. I seriously can't believe Hollywood is thinking of remaking this one, but hey, if there's a buck to be made on an existing property, amirite?

The Evolution of the Batman Films Part 8
The Dark Knight was a bonafide smash hit. How do you follow it up? The Dark Knight Rises was a bold attempt, but due to many strange plot inconsistencies, and an overall less interesting main villain, the story never seemed to quite gel. It has it's many admirers, but overall it didn't seem to end the series on a high note.
So that's it guys....done! WHEW. Thank you guys for liking, sharing, and commenting on this series. It's been a real labor of love, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it.

The Evolution of Batman Films Part 7
In 2008, WB released what is arguably not only the best Batman movie ever, but the single best superhero movie ever made: The Dark Knight. Received enthusiastically by fans and critics, many described it as elevating the superhero movie genre. Many other reboots, similar in tone were attempted in the wake of Dark Knight, but none captured the lightning in the bottle that this film did. Anchored by an incredible Joker performance by Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight is a milestone in blockbuster filmmaking.

The Evolution of Batman Films Part 6
Universally hated by just about everyone, Batman and Robin effectively killed the comic movie for a few years. However, after the success of the X-men and Spider-man films, WB decided to give Batman another shot, rebooting the franchise from scratch. Hiring director Christopher Nolan proved to be a very wise choice, as his more realistic version of Batman seemed to be just the things fans were hungry for. Batman Begins was a solid hit, earning critical praise as well. But the strongest Batman film yet was just around the corner...
The Evolution of Batman Films Part 5
So we've come to it at last. Batman and Robin. The absolute nadir of not only the Batman franchise, but widely considered one of the worst films ever made. Warner Bros spent a fortune on this film, and tried to cash in on as much merchandising as possible. Unfortunately, the movie was a campy, jokey disaster. Comic fans hated it, the public hated it, and even the stars and director all but apologized for it. The reception was so toxic that it all but killed comic book movies for three years. Batman needed a fresh start, badly. Luckily, help was on its way...
