Dear Journal, Today I found out that two Spider-Men (mans?) are not always better than one.

Who would have ever guessed that Antonio Banderaz would be getting acting parts for his voice talent? What may have seemed like a sidekick character at first in the Shrek Series, mostly cause it was, the Puss in Boots character blew up in popularity.

Hi. My name is Briana Lawrence and I — deep breath — am a Naruto fan. Well, that’s not entirely true. I’m more of a recovering addict. My fangirl mind has become exhausted with the series and, recently, I haven’t felt the excitement I use to feel oh so many years ago back when Naruto was a wee little lad […]
