Since Legend of Korra finished its first season a month ago, I decided to revisit one of the best animated series of all time once more after more than 2 years of last seeing it. And boy it’s still as great as I remember it back then. I was initially hesitant to watch Avatar TLA again, I watched it so many times 2 years ago and have such fond memories of it.

I thought now that I’m older I wouldn’t like it as much. However now that I’ve watched Book 1: Water again, I must say this is a way better …

Six years ago, Fast & Furious producer Neil Moritz tried to make an American version of the dystopian Japanese film known as Battle Royal. But due to the Virginia Tech shootings they felt as though it was a bad time and put the idea on hold.

Jem is her name and no one else is the same! In 1986 those words were what this fictional rock star sang to legions of little girls and adventure-loving boys, as she and her band, “The Holograms” performed on children’s television sets for about three seasons. Although the cartoon didn’t have a proper ending, it was good enough for fans to have a form of closure as the show came to an end in mid 1988.

Although the dolls were aimed at girls, 20-some years later they make great pieces of history and even better collectables. The Jem dolls were quite …
