    Tiangong-1, translated to ‘Heavenly Palace,’ is a 9.4 ton Chinese bus-sized space station that was launched in 2011 and was China’s first space station, but they lost contact with it in 2016.

  • A Wrinkly Wrinkle: Review of ‘A Wrinkle in Time’

    I’ve been waiting years, decades even, for a decent adaptation of the timeless classic by Madeleine L’Engle and I finally got one. I read the series of books several times growing up and I’ve often wondered why, with all of the remakes and reboots, we had only been presented with a made-for-TV movie in 2003…

  • Fan Fiction: The Madness That Binds Us–Chapter Twelve

    Chapter 12 “Desperation”   No matter how hard I try to focus on anything, all my mind can settle on is that alluring spark that burned in Rey’s eyes when I saw her last. The light that flickered into life when we watched each other reach for the other’s hand. A beautiful beacon calling me…

  • More Recent Mandela Effect Examples That Will Hurt Your Brain

    In my last article regarding the Mandela Effect, I barely scratched the surface of the “changes” that have been reported by so many different people. The Lindbergh baby, Al Capone’s death, Ed McMahon and his disappearing career, the Egyptian pyramids, and heck – even the namesake of this phenomenon, could quite likely be things that…

  • Getting Weird in Helen: Atlanta S2E4

    Let’s Get Weird  Episode four of Atlanta is markedly weirder than those before it. If you thought season one had plenty of bizarre, surreal imagery, season two, especially last Thursday’s “Helen,” promises a departure into dreamlike territory. Think Raymond Roussel’s Locus Solus and Andre Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism. Back when Donald Glover and company were promoting…

  • The Evolution of Batman

    With my recent article on the Syfy channel’s upcoming Superman related Krypton, I got to thinking about the movie history of DC comics’ other superhero ‘Batman.’ Batman has always been a personal favorite. I even have several related tattoos and had a rather large comic book collection once-upon-a-time. I’ve also seen the mass majority of…
