My Dream Crate



Loot Crate is such a great service, monthly pop culture items send to your door, it is every collector's dream. So when I heard that Loot Crate was asking customers to make there own dream crate I couldn’t help but jump at the idea. My actual dream crate has sadly become a reality so I decided that I needed to dream bigger (which at first sent me into a spiral of over creating) in order to achieve this goal, and my idea is pretty out there but stick with me. 

I chose to settle for the BLOOD crate, which at first must sound very unappealing but stick with me, and I promise you this isn’t vampire related. I decided to incorporate two of my pop culture loves Tarantino, and Game of Thrones. At first, these two don’t seem to share a theme, but when you think about it these are both extremely bloody categories, main characters die, and both aren’t shy on focusing on humanities flaws. 

I would include a Bolton T-Shirt and have it center on the Flayed man as nothing in Westeros is as gruesome a sight that the Bolton’s House Sigil. The next item I would include in the crate would, of course, be Jules’ Wallet from Pulp Fiction which has become a pop culture staple since its debut in the mid-nineties. The next item I would include would be a bust of a White Walker, although they may not particularly shed blood themselves they will take it in order to conquer Westeros.

A piece of fan art that I would like to include would be the Giant Weirwood Tree from the last season of Game of Thrones this tree is both beautiful and haunting and would make a great collector's piece. From Dusk till Dawn was written by Quentin Tarantino who also stars in the film, so I thought it would be fun to include a sponge version of the Weapon used by Harvey Keitel’s character to try and stop the vampires (ok I sort of included vampires).

The next item I would include would be a mystery box which would include a random Pop Vinyl from one of these franchises; this could include anything from a Gogo Yubari, Daisy Domergue, Butch Coolidge, Hodor, or even one of the Red Priestess herself, Melisandre. There are so many characters to choose from in both of these universes that no crate may even look the same.

What would your dream crate be? Would it include items from Firefly, Harry Potter, Disney, or a Superhero film? Please let me know below because I have had a million ideas from Horror to Sci-Fi and beyond. You can also visit loot crate for your own inspiration at https://www.lootcrate.com/

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

Mental Illness in TV and Film - Dementors

                                                                                                      Image Source Dementors have haunted me ever since I read The Prisoner of Azkaban way back in 1999. I was a Pre-Teen who was pretty much unaware of the depression that was just around the corner, in a way this book prepared me for what was to come, and after multiple reads, it became my go-to reference when explaining my depression. First off let's give a brief outline of Dementors, these magical wraith-like creatures can generally be found guarding Azkaban Prison, sucking the happiness, hope, and peace out of everyone around them. If you have had a horrible life marked by loss and abuse (just like Harry) you are much more affecte...

My week off!

             [Quickmeme] Hello everybody. I took an inpromptu week off this week. Was only meant to be for Thanksgiving weekend but on Sunday I started to get a bad flu. Still not quite right at the moment. Chicken noodle soup would be great at the moment.                                   [USA Network] So what have I been watching on my week off? Besides the shows I usually write for this week I started watching Mr. robot, and I have to say it is pretty great. Think Fight Club meets The Social Network, very much shot like a David Fincher movie. It's gritty and had me hooked pretty quickly. Definitely a must see for those who haven't watched it already. [Paramount Pictures] So I decided it was time to watch some Christmas Movies and I popped this on. I thought it would be great and I'd be instantly transported back to my childhood. It wa...
