I really love comic books!! I am a comic book collecting nerd, collecting weekly comic books and forever behind in what I'm reading. From the first time I got 4 comics for a dollar at Book Castle when I was young I was hooked and today I have over 65 long boxes that happily reside at my folks house. (My Mom is a saint for putting up with the collection my Dad and I started.)



I never thought I'd have so many comic books when I started. I collected SUPERMAN titles, found BOOSTER GOLD whom is my favorite hero and a then when I got into weekly/monthly comic book buying there was no turning back. (I'm a DC fangirl mostly, but have lots of old Marvel books and indie titles, in case you were wondering.)



Years ago it was a neighbor who first introduced my Dad to the FRANK AND SON COLLECTIBLE SHOW out in the City of Industry. It's a collectible show that goes on every Wednesday and Saturday, year round. Then my Dad took me and we would take our time in the back issue bins, fill in gaps to our collection and I'd seek out toys I'd been looking for, often splurging a bit more than I should have. It's also a great place to get bulk bag and board supplies and long boxes too. For the collector types its got comics, toys, cards, Magic/Card tournaments, sports stuff, Hot Wheels and so much more. They even do celebrity signings, from Sports folks, to Stan Lee, and next week Linda Blair will be there!!

I often talk Frank and Son up to my fellow collecting pals and a few of us finally planned the trip out to the boonies (as it's the boonies to many L.A. folks). This past Saturday morning it was me, my guy Dave and a couple of friends.

Once there I got my weekly comics and wandered around up and down every aisle. I found a ton of toys I wanted but somehow resisted the temptation to buy them all. Instead I caught a few POKEMON cards for my nieces as they had passed on strict orders to acquire new cards.

While strolling around I caught up with a few vendors I've come to know thanks to my regular visits and sightings at other comic conventions. We talked about collecting, the upcoming Wondercon in L.A. and of our love of comic books. It is a nice nerd haven, that's for sure.

Now, if you're in L.A. I highly recommend the journey down the 60 Freeway (if you can find it!) to get your fix in comic books, toys and lots of cool stuff! You won't be disappointed! YUP!

I LOVE COMIC BOOKS!!!!

I met the awesome @Bobfreelander (a.k.a. Brian) via Twitter (we have met in real life too!) and he's one hell of a movie fan, movie watcher, movie list maker and blogger!



Brian's site, Rupert Pupkin Speaks, is currently running a series where other movie watching bloggers are sharing their movie list of "Old Movies Seen For The First Time" in the past year.

It was a lot of fun to just look at my oldie movie views as they were among my many favorites of what I watched. Here's to more old movie watching in 2012! YUP!

I hope you do make your way over to Brian's site, check out his regular post and many of the other lists, which many of my fellow film fanatical friends made too:

Sinaphile's Favorite Older Films Seen

BTSJunkie's Favorite Older Films Seen

Brian Salisbury's Favorite Older Films Seen

Josh johnson's Favorite Older Films Seen

Marc Heuck's Favorite Older Films Seen

Zack Carlson's Favorite Older Films Seen

Lars Nilsen's Favorite Older Films Seen

**Remember there's more than just the few lists I shared above! Read, enjoy, watch movies old or new! There's just so many movies out there...YUP!!

Sometimes a Free Movie takes more from you than when you fork over the money to watch it, the time spent is gone and gone forever. CONNECT THE CUTS, CONNECT THE CUTS, CONNECT THE CUTS...

My Guy Dave and I made our way to the BURBANK AMC to line up early and see THE DEVIL INSIDE. A new horror movie about exorcisms. While waiting in line a man dressed as a priest walked down and handed out little bags with rosaries. A few other "priests" were wandering around with candles. They were really playin' up the save your soul thing.

As the theater filled a KROQ guy was playing some music and doing giveaways. Once the KROQ table was cleared a priest came down front with his candle in hand and a card from which he began reading. Sitting in the back row we could barely hear him, but there was something said about "free will".

The lights went out and the movie started. So exorcisms are scary stuff, the devil, possession by demons, uncontrolled levitation and good people fighting for their souls. The thing is, THE DEVIL INSIDE doesn't have any good people. They're all pretty selfish, mocking the devil, fighting the BIG C and just being very very very stupid. CONNECT THE CUTS, CONNECT THE CUTS, CONNECT THE CUTS...

There wasn't much by the way of scares, the whole story was ridiculous and the found footage concept, with video diaries was completely dumb. CONNECT THE CUTS, CONNECT THE CUTS, CONNECT THE CUTS...

When the movie ended most of the theater BOO-ed. There were cries of, "WHAT?" and more boo's. I wonder how many of them were going to fire up their phones or go home to check http://www.therossifiles.com/ which the end credits encouraged.

A lot of people actually stayed through the credits in hopes of another bit of the movie, but just booed again and walked on out. Actually there was a guy in the row in front of us who was asleep and still asleep as we walked on out.

So I saw a bad movie and it was pretty bad. I'm in no way recommending it and think you should save your time for some other movie, heck go to The New Beverly and see two movies for $8. It's a swell deal!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! My Guy Dave and I had a little NEW YEAR'S EVE gathering to ring in 2012 and I got to share HTV with my friends. HTV has long been part of my life since us HORLICK's got our first VCR. The recording began with movies, scenes of movies, cartoons, TV Specials, commercials and more movie moments which filled tape after tape after tape and the VHS collection grew. Thus HTV began!

When there was nothing on TV my dad and I would turn to HTV choosing a random number and watching whatever filled our screen.



For a good rundown and explanation of HTV my dad recently blogged about it over HERE.

On New Year's Eve we started the night with some HTV titles, a tape filled with movie title after movie title, from the moment the movie started to when Directed By hits the screen. Now you're probably wondering, what about a movie that doesn't have a title sequence? Well my dad taped those movies too and kept them playing for a while until he decided to change the channel. Still it makes for fun viewing and it was more fun as we made it a game. The first one to guess what the movie was won a point.

The night continued with other HTV tapes with bits and pieces of movies, and we continued the guessing game. Come midnight, to ring in the New Year we found a Comedy Countdown thanks to a SHOWTIME promotion. Everyone cheered "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

We wrapped things up with a finale of Disney's CAPTAIN EO TV special. That flashback brought back lots of memories and lots of laughs for all watching.



It's was a great way to ring in the new year; VHS, good friends, good homemade eats, and champagne!

Here's to more HTV times and a great 2012 for all! PARTY ON!! Keep Watchin' Lots of Movies!! YUP!

HAPPY 2012! As another year of movie watching begins I'm here to share my movie tally of 2011!! YUP YUP YUP!

It was a good year for movies all in all, and though my viewing pace may have slowed down a bit (compared to the last few years) I saw a lot of good stuff at some fun places!

When December came to an end I had seen 338 movies in all, 217 were NEW and 121 RE-SEES. I saw 66 movies at the New Beverly Cinema, watched DARKMAN twice on VHS, had 26 Monday movie nights (mostly on VHS) and I gave 21 movies a 5.0 (out of 5 rating).

My 5 favorite movies of the year: DRIVE, 13 ASSASSINS, BELLFLOWER, EXTRATERRESTRIAL, and HUGO.
My 5 runner ups, in no particular order: FAST FIVE, ATTACK THE BLOCK, SOUND OF MY VOICE, TABLOID and ANOTHER EARTH.

I must say that among my favorites, I would like to give big props to THE GREY and CABIN IN THE WOODS, but since they're gonna be 2012 films, I'm gonna watch them again and keep them at the top of my favorites for another year! Yup!

My Dad finally saw more movies than me in a year, and wrapped up at 416 films, he shared his tally over on his blog: HERE!!!!

I'm working on a favorites vintage list of all the oldie films I've seen this past year and that's going to be my next post soon so, Stay Tuned!!!

Let's all keep watching movies and tallying them all up!!!
