But I Digress…, Episode 30 – My Review of ‘Terminator: Genisys’

“But I Digress…”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand
After another long, unintended hiatus, I return with a summer movie review–one that left me with the most nerd rage I’ve had in a long time! The “Terminator” franchise, which includes some of my favorite films, has been “rebooted” stupidly. So much so, my old friend the T-800 returns to protect me from the new movie!
My text review of the movie for GIGA Geek Magazine.
My “Avengers: Age of Ultron” Review.
See the T-800’s original cameo here.

The Lost Digression: King of the Nerds Audition

Back in 2013, a friend told me that the show King of the Nerds was accepting video auditions for the second season, so he suggested I enter. I put together what I thought was a great video, but when I tried to post it, I learned I’d missed the submission deadline. So, this video has been stashed away on my hard drive since then and only recently did I remember it. I decided I’d post it just for the heck of it. Enjoy!

What’d you think? Could I have gotten on the show?

Digression 11: My Tribute to Leonard Nimoy

I reflect on how much impact the legendary Leonard Nimoy has had on my life. He was an amazing man and will be greatly missed by the geek community.

I’ll never be able to watch Spock’s death and funeral from “Star Trek II: The Wrath of the Khan” the same way ever again.

(Featuring the music track “Amazing Grace” by James Horner).

Digression 10: Haters Gonna Hate

After stirring up a bit of controversy in my previous video where I went on a satirical rant about why I hate Fifty Shades of Grey, I respond to some of the internet trolls in this snarky follow-up.

If this video receives any insulting comments–especially any related to autism–I will disable the comments. No trolls will have fun with this.

This is intended to humorous, but I do stand by what I say. I only criticize what was said and how the trolls behaved.

Digression 9 & 9.5: ’50 Shades of RAGE!’ and ‘V-Day Karaoke 2015’

It’s been a while since I posted a Digression–and boy, is this one a doozy! I go on an angry rant about why I hate “Fifty Shades of Grey” and I’m boycotting the film adaptation.

The annual tradition returns!

This year for your listening (dis)pleasure, I sing the classic “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey–and learn that I should never sing tenor ever again! I freely admit I’d be an “American Idol” reject. I hope you find it funny and sing along.

Digression 8: Valentine’s Day Karaoke 2014 – ‘If’ by House of Heroes

I’m a day late, but not a dollar short! I’ve decided to make V-Day karaoke videos an annual tradition. This year, I sing one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. Sadly, I re-learn why I shouldn’t sing tenor. Let’s just say I thought I should start a band called American Idol Rejects. While I didn’t have a specific girl in mind when I sang this, I identify with several lines from the song. Enjoy!

But I Digress…, Episode 19 Teaser Trailer

Here’s a homespun “trailer” for my next vlog. I don’t normally do this, but it’s a review for a major event in fandom and I had a fun idea for a preview, so I made it. I even tried recording a voiceover for teh first time.

Featuring the music from the “Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor” teaser trailer music, composed by Murray Gold.

Special thanks to the Whovians and celebrities I met at Gen-Con 2012 and 2013, who you see in those photo montage. I hope none of you mind me using those pictures.

If you’d like to see the trailer I parodied, watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hRy2N2CMhQ
