Senior Writer at GeekVibesNation - I am a 60 something child of the 70’s who admits to being a Star Trek/Star Wars/Comic Book junkie who once dove headfirst over a cliff (Ok, it was a small hill) to try to rescue his Fantastic Four comic from a watery grave. I am married to a lovely woman who is as crazy as I am and the proud parent of a 21-year-old young man with autism. My wife and son are my real heroes.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/8fhOItB0zUM” align=”center”][vc_column_text]With all the movie trailers being released during the Super Bowl, it made sense for HBO and Game of Thrones to get in on the party. The way those chose to do it was to say the least, unusual and to say the most for “Bud Knight,” crushing (See above). I have to admit, at first I thought it was a typical Bud Light commercial. You know, “Dilly, Dilly” and all that. That quickly changed when the “Bud Knight” was unceremoniously unseated and you saw who was responsible. It only got worse from there as the Mountain did to the…

I promise it will never happen again and if you still need to see one, the review can be posted for Ruin. In the meantime, let’s get back to the city they call Gotham. Jim had received a tip from Barbara (she received something from him too, but that was last episode: teaser), so he went to visit an arms dealer who had sold an RPG recently. They find him…

They must’ve saved the best for last because here is the #ToyStory4 #SuperBowl spot pic.twitter.com/ITI024Q6H7 — Geek Vibes Nation (@GeekVibesNation) February 4, 2019 Disney was a busy camper during the Super Bowl with at least three different trailers encompassing both their Marvel and Pixar lines. For Pixar, they showed a new trailer for their upcoming Toy Story 4 ( see above). In the trailer, Sheriff Woody and the redesigned Bo Peep are waiting at an amusement park for Buzz Lightyear who has got himself attached to the prize wall at a Carnival game.  Meanwhile, the toys  who WERE the top prizes available…

It’s here! The big Game you all been waiting for! #AvengersEndGame pic.twitter.com/Wvxj2FgT8F — Geek Vibes Nation (@GeekVibesNation) February 3, 2019 While the Super Bowl itself started slow, Marvel’s Trailer game started with a bang as within the first few minutes, they presented a new trailer for Avengers: End Game (see above). In it, we hear Steve Rogers explain how while other people have luxury of “moving on,” they do not. We also get to see glimpses of Tony and Nebula, Black Widow, Thor, Ronin, Rocket, Ant Man, War Machine, Bruce and of course, Cap and his Shield, together again. The trailer…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14774″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]In what might be considered a rubbing of salt into an open wound, a report originally found on Revenge of the Fans, has stated what that film might have looked like. Had Ben Affleck and Warner Bros. reached an agreement for his return as Batman, the new film would have had Affleck’s Dark Knight appear in the film as the present day Batman in the beginnng and in the end of the story. In addition, it also appeared that Affleck’s Batman would have been in the plans of Birds of Prey starring Margot Robbie which is currently in production. However, as was announced…

Some more than once. In true HBO fashion, they have held their tongue, although they have been somewhat cryptic with their responses. In a recent interview with Kit Harrington by KISS FM UK, he was asked again for his thoughts on the finale and if the ending made him happy or sad.…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14670″ img_size=”800×600″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]I’ve always wanted to write like The Batman director Matt Reeves. Now, judging from the length of his initial script for his version of Batman, I might actually have accomplished it. The Hollywood Reporter recently reported that Reeves first run at The Batman script was 160 pages long. That is a LOT of Batman story. Considering my predilection to be very verbose in my writing, even I might have a problem writing THAT many pages. Ok, that’s not true but for a script, that is quite a bit of pages. Of course, Reeves is already hard at work revising his script and paring…
