Joss Whedon’s Letter to Santa

From the imagination of PopCultureMonster Joss Whedon Dear Santa, Thank you for my present last year. A huge franchise movie, along with two smaller projects were exactly what I wanted.

Torchwood Quotes

Jack: Torchwood... outside the government, beyond the police. Tracking down alien life on Earth, arming the human race against the future. The twenty-first century is when everything changes. And you gotta be ready. Owen: Look I've shared cars with women before, I know what'll happen, there's an emergency, all raring to go, I jump in,…

The Dresden Files – What the hell is it?

Apparently while other Gawker sites have been unraveling, especially in terms of community, io9.com is still hanging in there, being its same old nerdy self. I was looking for a good solid review of Ghost Story (cuz I'm too lazy to write my own) and came across a decent one there on io9. But it…

Fall Promo Fever – Doctor Who

For a long time, I gave up on TV. I thought all the good shows were over, and nothing really interested me. The last few years, I've come to embrace a handful of shows, and this fall, many of them are coming back with a vengeance. Over the next few days, I'll post some promos…

After that, it will be over. No more bookstore stalking or Amazon pre-ordering. No more midnight movie lines. No more creeping at my secret…
