Movie Review - A Quiet Place
by Beth
It sure is a good spring for movies.
While I missed out on Strangers: Prey at Night (or maybe not missed
if the reviews are anything to judge by), I did get to see Ready
Player One and A Quiet Place. There's also Super Troopers 2 (I know
it won't be as good as the original, but I still want to see it), and
Infinity War coming up. I'm sure I'll see Rampage at some point too,
but as much as I love disaster and monster movies it didn't look like
one I needed to see in the theater. But today I'm mainly hear to talk
about A Quiet Place.

Our Evening With Al
By
Dave
If I was going to make a list of my top 5 heroes or
people that were most influential to me – post probably not coming soon – Weird
Al would be on it. Probably top 3.
Last year when tickets went on sale for The Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised
Vanity Tour I didn’t really know what it was going to be. I just knew that
there was a VIP package and that I had to take the opportunity to meet an
entertainer that has had a lasting and powerful impact on my life. I also knew
that I wanted to bring Phantom, Jr. with me.

Spy Con 2018 Recap
by Beth
Atlanta’s first Spy Con was held at
the Alpharetta Marriott on March 30th-April 1st.
As it was a first I didn’t really know what to expect. I assumed
that it would be on the smaller side, but was just slightly concerned
about my own high standards and expectations. I tried to keep them
lower so that I wouldn’t be disappointed, but it turned out to be
better than I had hoped for. I'm not gonna lie - I am loving these smaller conventions. After two cons in a row that only took place on one floor of one hotel I don't know how I'll survive Dragon Con this year. If you didn’t make it to Spy Con then read on to find out what you missed, and why you should go if
they do it again next year.

Comic Book Wednesday – Previews April 2018: “A Marvelous Month”
By Dave
If you don’t know, Previews
is the catalog that Diamond Comic Distributors use to offer the products they
distribute to comic book stores around the country. This is where you can view
and order (through your favorite Local Comic Book Shop) comic books, trade
paperback collections, t-shirts, books, media, and toys and other collectibles
from hundreds of different vendors that deal in geek-oriented merchandise. The
genius part is that you actually have to pay for your copy of Previews for the privilege of ordering
other things to pay for.
It’s like the Ren Fest except without the horse poo
smell.
So every month a new edition of Previews is sent out to comic book stores. Contained in the pages
within are products that might be currently available or could be released
anytime in the next year; but are typically about two months away. Most of this
month’s offerings are scheduled to ship in June.
Now it’s time to discuss a few of the weird and/or
wonderful items offered in this month’s edition!

What I Did for Spring Break - Universal Orlando Part 2
By
Dave
The Troublemakers visited the Universal theme parks in
Orlando for an early Spring Break a few weeks ago. My son had never been and it
had been around thirteen years since me and the missus were there. Obviously a
lot had changed in the intervening years.
Now Universal’s side of Orlando boasts two Harry Potter
themed areas, a new King Kong ride, new resort hotels, and plenty more to fill
an entire trip. There’s even a whole new water park called Volcano Bay, which
I’ll address in just a bit. Once upon a time I wouldn’t have dreamed of a
vacation in the area that didn’t include Walt Disney World, but it looked like
Universal had stepped up their game enough to earn a few solid days of our
time.
We had more fun than not and I’m satisfied with our
decision to just visit Universal. Barring a weekend for Halloween Horror Nights
I can’t imagine going back in the next several years, but I definitely feel
better about the parks than I did after our last visit.
Here are a few more of the highs and lows of our trip!
