Alright, quick recap of Part I: To celebrate July 4th, I traveled to the prehistoric land of Indiana to shop at Trav's, where I bought a bunch of sci-fi fireworks and watched a family fall apart. I brought them back to Ma and Pa Sci-Fi's farm in Kentucky to blow them up. Then I got tired of writing and quit. This is where I start again.
This year I spent the 4th of July like a lot of other Americans did; in the theatre watching TransFormers. I am a Yankee Doodle Dandy, however, so my weekend was all apple pie and Uncle Sam. Click the pic to check out a bunch of illegal, sci-fi themed fireworks.
Nothing screams "Hey, look, I've got a ninja folder!" louder than a guy who's screaming "Hey, look, I've got a ninja folder!" into a microphone plugged into a professional concert amplifier and output through a Cold War era air-raid siren speaker array. But if something were to be able to scream that as loudly, it would be actually owning a ninja folder for real. Well, color me a screamer, baby, 'cause I gots me a ninja folder! HELL YEAH!!
Well fellow sci-fi geeks, we have our first picture of Heath Ledger as the Joker. Check it out.
Don't wanna spend a lot for your Spidey fix? We've gotcha covered. Come on in for a heaping helping of Spider-Man merchandise, none of which will cost you more than a dollar.
Robots + Mega Bloks + Spider-Man = Chris being a very happy camper. In the last few years, Mega Bloks has really stepped up and given Lego a run for their money. Pound for pound, and especially dollar for dollar, these things deliver far more fun than any Lego product I've ever owned.

You read that right. Back in 1991, James Cameron, notable sci-fi movie maker who wrote and directed The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Abyss, and Aliens, took a stab at penning everyone's favorite webslinger. Eleven years later, some of his ideas made it into the first Spider-Man movie. Click the pic to read Cameron's vision for Spidey.
Candy dispensers my ass. These things dispense candy in exactly the same way that an AK-47 gently tosses bullets to its targets. These are like Pez dispensers for Smarties, only replace the words 'Pez dispensers' with 'rocket-powered skeet launchers.' They're fantastic. Click the pic to come in and check 'em out in action.
In the first of what will be many Spider-Man Mega Bloks reviews - not that he found a really great sale or anything - Chris tells us all about the 'Mega Blocks Amazing Spider-Man Building 2 Playset,' known better as The Daily Bugle.
