The addictive nature of this pastime can be attributed to a myriad of factors, making it a compelling and immersive experience for those who delve into the world of Gundam model building.

Anime Rise in the US
Anime's introduction to the United States marks a fascinating journey that spans several decades, transforming from a niche interest to a mainstream cultural phenomenon. The roots of anime in the U.S. can be traced back to the mid-20th century when early Japanese animated series like "Astro Boy" and "Speed Racer" were introduced to American television audiences in the 1960s and 1970s. These shows, while initially localized and sometimes adapted, laid the groundwork for the growing fascination with Japanese animation. However, it was in the 1980s that anime began to make a more profound impact on American viewers.

Rebel Moon is the Future of Entertainment. Top Story - December 2023.
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD. There is no nice way of putting it. Rebel Moon is terrible. But not terrible for the reasons that most people have noticed. After being out for a little less than two weeks, most people have panned the movie for what it is. A sloppy, copy and paste job of some of the most popular science fiction franchises. However, Rebel Moon is far more problematic than that. It goes beyond common sci-fi tropes. It mashes together nearly every successful genre possible in hopes of appealing to the majority people. In doing this, it is everything and nothing at once.

The Night of the Iguana
Le Femme Theatre Production of " The Night of the Iguana" is the best rendition of this play that I have seen. Tennessee Williams masterpiece if not done well can be a long drawn out evening at the theater. What makes this "Iguana" really good has to do with several reasons. the first being exquisite sound by Darron L.West, the incredible lighting by Jeff Croiter, the deft costumes by Jennifer Von Mayrhauser and the direction by Emily Mann.

Til Death
"Till Death" is filled with twists and turns; Abingdon Theater Company produced this play with direction by Chad Austin and it is effective both from the projection stand point (Lisa Renkel) and the set design (Teresa L. Williams). The plot is about a 75 year old dying mother, her second husband, Michael (Robert Cuccioli), her three children and grandson. As things slowly unravel we see the difference in the two girls, a brilliant Anne (Whitney Morse), a high strung Lucy, (Amy Hargreaves) and a son who is money hungry, Jason (Dominick Laruffa Jr). Playwright Elizabeth Coplan has written for the most part a good body of work that was daring and somewhat edgy. For 75 minutes, Coplan takes us on a journey.The conflicts between Michael and Lucy are monumental. Lucy sees her step father who is also a widower as an interloper on the family. He sees her as overbearing and brusque.

The Reincarnation Of A Special Grade Interest
On the edge of summer, really the cusp of fall, I spent $140 on eight manhwa volumes. Which . . . isn't even fair. The first one was "Daughter of the Emperor", at the Barnes & Noble in Coral Gables. I was there with my cousin, just strolling in because that place offered free parking for a couple of hours- more than enough time to allow me to complete my goal of hitting up that sweet little boba shop and the paleta place further down. A bathroom break was requested, and while I waited, I couldn't help but peruse. I mainly loitered by the romance section, unwilling to deep dive and give myself any room for weakness. But there was no need to fear making room for it, when weakness was in the very marrow of my bones.

How Rick And Morty Made The Case for the Mid-Season Finale Gambit
Gambling can be fun sometimes, especially if done safely, kids - and clearly, Dan Harmon Co-Creator of the series and writers of this episode, Albro Lundyand and James Siciliano are betting men. Season 7 episode 5 “Unmortricken” is the episode where Rick, or the Rick we follow at least - a parasitical grandpa/deadbeat father/Jerry tormentor gets everything he asked for. It has everything: lore, backstory, intrigue, revenge, and a dash of ghoulish overkill. Mainly of the spare ‘thematic’ Ricks. It’s very big, it’s very clever, but is it it? If any season of any show needed to prove itself, it is this one - and usually this is done by a traditional season structure. But since when has Rick and Morty played by the rules?
