When the original King Kong premiered in 1933 
the special effects were groundbreaking for their time. The stop motion effects were achieved by Willis O’Brien and Buzz Gibson. Stop motion isn’t used much (if not at all) any longer but for the time period the effects kept the audience mesmerized.

Philip K. Dick, Stanislaw Lem, or Kurt Vonnegut, among others, dealt with the nature of reality, not space travel and ray guns – even if such hardware existed within the story. Continue reading

Equipment: Marvel Select Star-Lord Action Figure from Diamond Select Toys
I have been a big fan of the Marvel Select 
figures from Diamond Select Toys for years. My favorite is still the Hawkeye figure from The Avengers (2014). It could be because that was my first Marvel Select or maybe it is because Hawkeye is the coolest Avenger; I can’t decide. Diamond has produced some pretty incredible looking figures. One of those cool figures is the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Peter Quill, AKA Star-Lord. WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR INFINITY WAR!
