"There is a big difference between LEGOLand and one of these small LEGO Discovery Centers. LEGOLand is a big theme park. The Discovery Centers just fill in empty store fronts.
I visited the Discovery Center in Kansas City and my kids, 4 and 8, who…"

The Cormac McCarthy book was tough read. For me, I could literally feel my chest tightening from concern over this father and son traveling in a post-apocalyptic world. For GeekDads the story seems…Continue

Troy Bird replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'The Road'"This has been one on my list to see. I saw the preview and would think that I would enjoy watching the journey. I always like watching something where a person struggles, but hopefully succeeds in retaining their humanity while the world…"
Troy Bird replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Astroboy'"I am late on the bandwagon here, but my boys absolutely loved AstroBoy. Like hellorobert, it also sparked an interest in the AstroBoy animated series on Netflix of which we eventually watched them all.
It was kind of funny, because I did not…"
John Booth replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Hunger Games'"Oddly enough, you've touched on the very reasons why I liked it so much and found it so compelling that I went back and saw it again just two days after the first time.
Not all movies (or books, or TV shows, etc.) are for straight-up…"
Kevin Clem replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Hunger Games'"I agree that they were overdone, but I think it was done to add enough chaos to the scenes in order to downplay the violence.

Erik Johnson replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Hunger Games'"I would like to share this link to the NY Times that helps to explain things from the author's perspective.

Erik Johnson replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Hunger Games'"I think they were purposely trying for the 'reality' thing -- the books are from Katniss' point of view, after all."
Erik Johnson replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Hunger Games'"I was surprised that the book was so gory, considering that it is a Scholastic title. It should be disturbing to someone who has not read the books. I agree, it is insane to send our children off to kill each other."
Oliver Gingrich replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Hunger Games'"I saw this movie and, although I tend to like cartoonish violence, Terminator, Aliens, Matrix, anime(some), etc. etc., I found it profoundly disturbing. I hate spoilers, so I didn't read the book (my wife has it) and I didn't do more…"
Doug Cornelius replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Hunger Games'"My biggest complaint about the movie was the overuse of handheld cameras. I understand the shakiness during the battle scenes, but many shots would have benefited from using a mount."

The first big "summer" movie comes out this week: The Hunger Games.Any predictions on how good it will be and whether it will be a must see?Personally, I found the first book to be a good read. But I thought it was "twighlight-ed" by making it about teenagers and squeezing in a love triangle. I kept thinking the story…See More
Erik Johnson replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Hunger Games'"The movie will be a blockbuster -- I am a fan of the books and will probably see the movie with our boys this weekend.
Remember the Scholastic demographic -- this is not really intended to be a book series for adults, but for YA, so young love is a…"
John Booth replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Hunger Games'"See, I thought the love triangle was nicely underplayed - it could have been much more of a story driver, which I think would have been disastrous - and its presence in the story undoubtedly helped the book gain traction with an audience it might…"
