Sean Bean stabbed in a barfight defending Playboy Bunny's honor

2011-06-14T12:07:00.001-07:00

Yell at me all you want for this not being specifically movie related, but I figured you'd rather hear this excellent story than have me write about some new film that just got greenlit about CGI dogs and cats hunting ghosts.

You probably best know Sean Bean for his role in LORD OF THE RINGS, but recently he's returned to the genre for the lead role in HBO's Game of Thrones. But this story shows that he doesn't just play the badass hero, he is one.
The incident kicked off when the 52-year-old Bean and 22-year-old Playboy bunny April Summers (real name Nadia Foster) went outside Camden's Hill Bar and Brasserie to smoke. A passerby spotted the duo (or at least one half of the duo) and began making lewd comments, leading Bean to confront the big talker.
All was seemingly well until the stranger returned later on, at which point a scuffle broke out, and Bean was reportedly punched in the face, causing a bruise over his eye, and stabbed in the arm with broken glass.
Getting into a barfight defending a Playboy Bunny (and seriously, Google her) when you're 52? Badass enough. But what happens next is what makes the story.
Despite his wounds, Bean refused any medical attention and opted not to go to a hospital. Instead, the actor accepted a first aid kit from the bar staff, then ordered another drink.
I liked him before, but I've got a newfound respect for the man now. I hope I'm half as awesome at his age

Risk is the latest board game to become a movie

2011-06-10T08:51:00.001-07:00

I never really played much of the board game RISK when I was younger -- the game seemed to take forever, and I was probably looking for a bit more immediate carnage in my global domination, so things often resulted in the pieces ultimately being grabbed and hurled at opponents in fury.
But it's a popular and recognizable property, so like BATTLESHIP and CANDYLAND and MONOPOLY and others, it's getting adapted into a movie.
The Hasbro (and former Parker Brothers) turn-based strategy game will somehow become a contemporary action-thriller from Sony, who apparently sees value in the brand instead of just, y'know, making an original contemporary action-thriller about world domination.
A script is in the works by writer John Hlavin, who spent time on "The Shield" and penned the upcoming fourth UNDERWORLD flick.
Since its initial release in 1959, the RISK game has been released in a variety of licensed versions, including STAR WARS, LORD OF THE RINGS, HALO, NARNIA and TRANSFORMERS, which all undoubtedly had more imaginatively stimulating pieces than the plastic Roman numerals from my wayback (in the days when the idea of board game movies was just material for sketch comedy shows).

Warner Bros. producing new Looney Tunes shorts with Mel Blanc's voice

2011-06-10T08:42:00.000-07:00

God knows they've tried, but things haven't been the same at Looney Tunes since Mel Blanc, the voice of the vast majority of those characters, died in 1989. There are some voice actors who've had the unenviable position of trying to voice Bugs, Daffy, Elmer and crew since but it just isn't working. It would be like recasting Moe, Larry and Curly and trying to make a THREE STOOGES movie (wait...).

So in an effort to help revitalize the brand, Warner Bros. is producing new theatrical shorts that will feature archival vocal recordings of Blanc as some of his most famous characters. In the first, "Daffy's Rhapsody," Elmer Fudd is chasing Daffy on stage during a musical performance. The short would include audio of Blanc performing "Daffy Duck's Rhapsody." The original song, which can be heard here, was recorded as a novelty song in 1950 but was never animated.

"I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat" will be a new Sylvester and Tweety cartoon that follows the usual structure of their shorts and will include a song by the same name. Blanc also recorded that song in the 50s, as Tweety, and it even became a hit in the UK.

While both of these shorts include new songs once recorded by Blanc as his famous characters, I'm assuming there will also be some vocal recordings by new actors. How that will mesh and work remains to be seen. The first of these shorts will run before HAPPY FEET TWO later this year.

First look at Sacha Baron Cohen in costume as The Dictator

2011-06-09T16:02:00.000-07:00

He's done Ali G, Borat and Bruno films, so now it's time for Sacha Baron Cohen to begininventing NEW ridiculous characters for future projects. And he's definitely outdone himself this time.
Below you'll find the first shot of Cohen in costume for THE DICTATOR, his new film inspired by a book written by Saddam Hussein. In the film, a dictator is secretly replaced by a goat herder lookalike so he can travel to New York where he falls for a beautiful fruit vendor. That role will go to Anna Faris, while Cohen will be playing both the dictator and the goat herder.

The original Hussein book, "Zabibah and the King," is about a king who falls for a young woman brutalized by her husband. It's a not so subtle allegory about Hussein, the Iraqi people, and America, and this film seems to be a rough satire of that concept

Warner Bros. might have to digitally replace the Tyson Hangover 2 tattoo!

2011-06-09T15:47:00.000-07:00

Many of you have probably heard about the lawsuit that Mike Tyson's tattoo artist filed over Ed Helm's facial ink from THE HANGOVER PART II. It didn't do anything to the release of the film, but the lawsuit is still ongoing, and if a settlement isn't able to be reached, Warners says they'll actually go and digitally change the tattoo for the DVD release.
“If the parties are unable to resolve their dispute, Warner Bros. does not intend to makeany use of the allegedly infringing tattoo after the film ends its run in theaters because Warner Bros. will digitally alter the film to substitute a different tattoo on Ed Helms’s face."
"The home video release is currently scheduled for early December 2011, which would allow Warner Bros. sufficient time to make the change if it becomes necessary."
The crux of the joke is that the tattoo in fact the one Mike Tyson has, but I'm not sure if they actually put in a line stating that in the film. It seems like something that should have been mentioned, but I have a hunch it was maybe a scene that was cut after the lawsuit was filed.

So what are they going to replace it with? Just another weird tribal squiggle, or will they try to make it an entirely new joke. How about in the theatrical cut it's a butterfly, and in the Unrated version it's a giant dong

Of course Roland Emmerich has been offered Asteroids....

2011-06-09T12:02:00.001-07:00

n case you forgot, one of the most ridiculous ideas floating around Hollywood today is a big budget adaptation of the Atari game ASTEROIDS. The game and the movie will likely share nothing more than the destruction of asteroids, as that's really all it CAN share as there isn't actually anything more to the game.
So who could possible direct such an opus of constant chaos and destruction? Why Roland Emmerich of course, which is why it's no surprise that Vulture is reporting that Universal has offered him the job. The man has destroyed the earth with aliens, weather, monsters and whatever the hell happened in 2012, so it's no stretch to think he could do the same here.
ASTEROIDS is currently one of my best examples of what's wrong with Hollywood today. There was actually a BIDDING WAR over who would get the rights to Asteroids. Seriously, you can't just make a movie about dangerous asteroids? You really needed to base it off the substance-less Atari game? I would have given Universal a lot more credit if they just wrote a script for a new sci-fi film and called it an original production, which this actually will have to be because THE GAME DOESN'T HAVE A DAMN PLOT.
Anyway, if Emmerich takes the job, I'm sure he'll figure out some way to ensure the earth is destroyed by the end of the film, and I can re-shift my focus to ripping on BATTLESHIP instead.

If at first you don't succeed, re-boot! THE WOLFMAN instant redux!

2011-06-09T11:31:00.000-07:00

The recent update of Universal's classic lycanthrope THE WOLFMAN held plenty of promise but didn't prove entirely satisfying -- even director Joe Johnston acknowledged its flaws.

But that hardly means we've seen the last of the legendary fanged moon-howler. In fact, it seems as though the studio already wants to reboot the property for the big screen. Universal had been considering a sequel to last year's disappointment, but Moviehole says that intended follow-up is now "being rewritten and reworked to be an original film – almost a reboot of the classic Universal monster movie series."

Benicio del Toro obviously won't be back in the fur shirt, but Moviehole says the new project will look for directors soon for a possible start in the fall. And it might even get a different title... possibly just WEREWOLF.
The new movie will apparently share some kind of link to the studio's 1941 Lon Chaney version of the folklore tale, about a guy suffering from a curse that causes him to uncontrollably transform into a hairy, murderous beast every full moon

Early April Fools? See The First Image Of Adrianne Palicki As Wonder Woman!

2011-03-18T16:38:00.000-07:00

The immediate thought that comes to mind when looking at the very first image of Adrianne Palicki in full costume as the title character in NBC’s reboot of the superhero series, Wonder Woman, is that this has to be some kind of joke…right? April Fools’ Day is close, but it’s not here yet, correct?
To be perfectly blunt, this image is pure pain to look at and the endless difficulties had while trying to produce a movie and TV series based on the property make a whole lot more sense now. Think of every Wonder Woman Halloween costume you’ve ever seen, and know that 90% of them are likely better than this.
Be sure to click on over to the other side to see the first official image from NBC’s new Wonder Woman and speak your thoughts freely in the comments below!

These words may seem harsh, yes, but when something like this is being made you like to see that some sort of effort is being put in and, so far, no, there’s none here. We can only hope that much like that unpleasant first peek at Thor way back when, the show itself will look much better than this.

Rock-nroll all night and party every day with KISS KONDOMS!

2011-03-06T20:50:00.000-08:00

Time to put the “X in Sex” and explode with a “Sonic Boom” like the “God of Thunder” — the band KISS is releasing new KISS Kondoms for fans to stay safe when they’re taking their significant others for a “Rocket Ride.”
Apologies for the song title puns used here, but c’mon… this is KISS and it’s a story about Gene Simmons pimping out some condoms — I just couldn’t help myself.
The difference with this release of KISS Kondoms is that they have pictures on them, which is kind of odd when you think about where these things are going to end up when you’re done using them.

At any rate, this release of KISS Kondom, which features a picture of Gene Simmons as The Demon, complete with his trademark tongue, will they’ll be hitting shelves (and mattresses) during this month. A Paul Stanley version is said to be scheduled for release later in the year. But for the time being, if you’re interested in getting yourself some KISS Kondoms, they’re currently on sale already at Condomania.

Meanwhile, in other KISS news, the band is working towards completing their next album, a follow-up to 2009′s Sonic Boom. It’s also been announced that KISS will be headlining the Rock USA festival on July 16 at Ford Festival Park in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, playing along with other bands such as Korn, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Daughtry, Buckcherry, and Cheap Trick

The world is a little less sexy and dangerous now....rest in peace Tura Satana

2011-02-06T21:37:00.000-08:00

“You’re a beautiful animal…and I’m weak, and I want you…”
Took the words right out of my face.
Immortal lines uttered at Tura Satana in the iconic actress’ most famous role as the ultra-sexy and tough as nails Varla in the grindhouse classic, Faster Pussycat, Kill…Kill! (1965). “She’s a cold one—more stallion than mare. Too much for one man to handle!” was another quote that perfectly summed up Tura, who throughout her life was everything from an erotic dancer and gang leader, to a model and martial arts expert.

Tura Satana, having one of the most all-time coolest names ever, passed away at 73 years old on February 4th, 2011, leaving behind a grindhouse film legacy of female empowerment that literally rewrote the rules on tough chick womanhood. Truly, there would be no Joan Jett without Tura Satana’s gender redefining trailblazing.

Thundercats HO!!!!!!!!! Cartoon Network!

2011-01-26T17:25:00.000-08:00

Back in late 2009, it was reported that the planned THUNDERCATS movie at Warner Bros. was dead in the water. While it's possible we may still see a movie somewhere down the line, the plan was shifted to relaunch the brand via a new toy line and a new cartoon series on WB's Cartoon Network. Well the time has come when we to see our first image of what the new era of "ThunderCats" will look like:

That's Lion-O, Panthro, Cheetara and Tygra via Warner Bros. Animation (no word yet on whether Snarf will return). As you can see, they're given a new anime-style look and a leaked pic from the London Toy Fair shows Cheetara has another anime staple: huge boobs.

It's unclear when the series will begin airing on Cartoon Network but it is set for a 2011 debut. What this means for a possible THUNDERCATS movie remains to be seen but if you ever want to see Cheetara shaking her cleavage on-screen, you might want to tune in.

Alrighty then....

PIKES PEAK, Colo. -- Millions of visitors come to Colorado Spring each year to drive to the 14,000 foot summit of Pikes Peak, but one man has an idea that would attract some visitors from out of this world.

UFO Phil Hill, 40, wants to build a 480-foot tall pyramid on the summit to attract aliens.”A lot of people talk about pyramids. They say they buried Pharaohs, and that is true in the smaller ones, but the larger one was a power plant,” said Hill.

Hill has created a mini version of what the pyramid would look like. He said the real pyramid would look exactly like the great pyramid of Giza.

Hill proposed that it be built the same way as the one in Egypt. He suggested that it be built out of limestone so massive that it would take 57 men to lift one block, which he estimated would weights 2.75 tons.

“Those guys would have to carry them all the way to the top of Pikes Peak,” said Hill.

He said he would also help by touching the stone, feeling the energy of the vibration. “Because I am in contact with the aliens; they put there vibrations into (me),” explained Hill. He said he would pass vibrations into the brick.

Hill, who moved to Colorado Springs last March from Spokane, Wash., claimed that aliens visited him and gave him the idea.

He showed KRDO NEWSCHANNEL 13 a drawing of a blue colored, human like figure, which he said is named Zaxon. “He comes to me and tells me thing.”

He said Zaxon is from the planet Zaxon, a planet unknown to scientists, to help Hill spread the idea of a pyramid refueling stations. Hill hopes to generate enough buzz to get leaders in Colorado Springs on board with the idea.

Hill, who has several videos on YouTube, music for sale on iTunes and a movie that was recently released, may just be looking for publicity. For this interview he dressed in a blue and yellow jumpsuit and is well known to callers of the radio show “Coast to Coast AM.”

KRDO NEWSCHANNEL 13 contacted both the city of Colorado Springs and the U.S. Forest Service to see how they feel about Hill’s plan. City leaders have heard about the plan, but said they never have received a call or e-mail from Hill.

“My assistant has called them (city of Colorado Springs) 142 times, but no one has returned his calls,” said Hill.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Forest Service said Hill hasn’t submitted a plan, but that they would look at his proposal.

His plan may not be well received by the Forest Service. He would like to eliminate the visitors’ center and coffee shop to fit his 480-foot pyramid on the summit

Dire Straights in dire straights? Canadian Gay men offended????

2011-01-17T11:45:00.001-08:00

Canadian radio station have been warned to censor the 1985 Dire Straits hit "Money for Nothing," after a complaint that the lyrics of the Grammy Award-winning song were derogatory to gay men.
A St. John's, Newfoundland, station should have edited the song to remove the word "faggot" because it violates Canada's human rights standards, according to ruling this week by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council.
A unnamed listener to OZ FM in the Atlantic Coast province complained to the industry watchdog last year after hearing the song, which features Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler and fellow rock star Sting.
The council said it realized Dire Straits uses the word sarcastically, and its use might have been acceptable in 1985 when the best-selling "Brothers in Arms" album was released, but said it was now inappropriate.
"The decision doesn't really relate to the Dire Straits song at the end of the day, the decision relates to the word in question," Ron Cohen, the council's chairman, told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
OZ FM argued unsuccessfully that the song has been played countless times since it was released more than 25 years ago, has won various industry awards, including a Grammy in 1986, and remains popular with listeners around the world.
The ruling comes in the wake of an uproar sparked by a U.S. scholar who decided to publish an edition of Mark Twain's novel "Huckleberry Finn" that would remove the word "nigger" to make it less offensive to some readers.
Although the Dire Straits ruling only sanctions the St John's station, it means other Canadian radio stations could get in trouble it they air the song without censoring it.
The Broadcast Standards Council is a non-governmental industry group that administers ethical standards established by its members, Canada's private broadcasters
Dire Straits dissolved as a band in the 1990s after a string of hit albums.

Holy crap-a-roo!!!! Tesla tech cereal boxes!!!!!!

2011-01-15T19:21:00.000-08:00

Is this the future? Some wild technology is here right now, and it could just be revving up to change the world as we know it.
At the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, many demonstrations were shown off. One of them involved a new wireless technology that would deliver a whole new type of power source to our homes and beyond.
For the demonstration, Fulton Innovation — the technology’s creator — brought along some shelving and surfaces that look pretty much like any other shelving or surface you might look at. What’s not seen, however, is power surging through these surfaces, which makes some very interesting things possible. The most entertaining of these, for those who aren’t interested in the scientific stuff, are cereal boxes; they look just like regular cereal boxes, naturally, but when placed on these special surfaces, the cereal boxes illuminate playfully. Something sure to catch the eye of any passing child. But that, my friends, is just the beginning.
While light-up cereal boxes are cool, they’re also not all that useful. What will be useful is the ability to develop this into something that could make our world completely wireless. What also might be useful is the charging capabilities: toys, batteries, and virtually any other item that would require charging can be placed on these surfaces, effectively boosting their juice.
On top of that, they also have surfaces with similar capabilities that would allow you to boil a pot of water, program basic cooking commands, and simply place your pan on the surface to commence. They even have special containers of soup with built in heating coils that allow you to put the soup on the surface and walk away as it heats itself up.
These things alone are enough to blow my mind a thousand times, but the company isn’t stopping there. Other ideas they’re working on is putting these surfaces in parking garages and parking spaces everywhere, which would allow us to charge electric cars whenever you park! And with the mass availability of a technology like that, our reliability on gas in everyday life could and would dissipate ferociously.
Insanity, I tells ya!
You can learn more about the company by visiting their website, and you can see much more. You can also find a bunch more videos on YouTube showing off what this company is working on, just search “eCoupled at CES.”

Gotham High the series?????????

2011-01-12T12:13:00.000-08:00

Thank god this never made it past the planning stages. This is what the DC Universe would be like with Diablo Cody as Editor in Chief.

We all go through incredible changes as teenagers: growth spurts, bad skin, a sudden insatiable need to uphold justice and avenge your murdered parents…. Well, that is if you’re Bruce Wayne. As if being a freshman at Gotham High wasn’t tough enough, Bruce’s insomnia and technological fascinations are taking their toll. Instead of spending his time studying, he has begun to obsess over an emerging personality trait: Batman. But under the watchful eye of his guardian and steward, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce is forced to put his intelligence to good use: graduating high school. But given his classmates, can Bruce survive Gotham High?

Mega Python vs Gatoroid

2011-01-01T10:54:00.001-08:00

Source: NBC / Universal

In what promises to be the television movie event of 2011, 1980s singing sensations Debbie Gibson and Tiffany get down and dirty in their long-awaited pop princess smackdown when they co-star in the ripped-from-the-headlines Syfy Saturday Original Movie, Mega Python Vs Gatoroid, which will premiere Saturday, January 29, at 9PM (ET/PT).

A production of The Asylum, Mega Python Vs Gatoroid takes an up-close-and-personal look at the crisis in the Florida Everglades where invasive Burmese pythons are threatening the indigenous alligator population. Gibson portrays a fanatical animal rights advocate who spends her evenings “liberating” illegally imported exotic snakes from pet stores and setting them free in the Everglades, where the pythons grow and thrive.

McDonalds McOatmeal!

2010-12-19T09:44:00.001-08:00

McDonald's joining Starbucks with oatmeal

More evidence that oatmeal for breakfast is a growing trend:
According to the L. A. Times, McDonald's restaurants will begin selling a maple-flavored oatmeal mixture for $1.99 beginning this week. The cereal will also contain apples, raisins, cranberries and cream and will be served in a cardboard cup. McDonald's has probably seen the success that Starbucks has had selling oatmeal over the several years ago. Jamba Juice has also added it to their menu.
Oatmeal is a great comfort food, and gives McDonald's a new, healthy option for breakfast guests.
Will this contribute to a further surge for oatmeal and hot cereals in general?

Alice Cooper to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

2010-12-13T15:43:00.000-08:00

Industry insiders are reporting that rock and metal legend Alice Cooper will finally be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on March 14, 2011 at its 26th yearly induction ceremony.
Alice Cooper began as the lead singer and frontman of the band of the same name with the release of their debut album, Pretties For You, in 1969. Cooper launched his solo career in 1975 with the release of the concept album, Welcome To My Nightmare, an epic recording that was produced by the brilliant Bob Ezrin.
Cooper established himself firmly in the era of shock rock and early glam metal — his career spanning beyond 30 years, and releasing songs such as School’s Out, Poison, Hey Stoopid, and Brutal Planet. He is known for his concept albums, and theatrical live performance that featured the “execution of Alice Cooper” every night — usually portrayed as death by guillotine. He’s left such an impact on the music world and would eventually become a massive influence on almost all sub-genre of metal.

It appears that all members of the original Alice Cooper band might be in consideration for this Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction, as Alice Cooper released a statement saying, “On behalf of Dennis (Dunaway), Neal (Smith), Michael (Bruce) and the late great Glen (Buxton), we are honored to be nominated for induction in to the Hall. Anytime you are nominated in your chosen profession, it’s definitely a compliment to be recognized”.
Alice Cooper will be inducted along with Neil Diamond, Tom Waits, Dr. John, and Darlene Love at the Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan, which will be televised live on Fuse.
In the meantime, Alice Cooper and Bob Ezrin are continuing work on Welcome To My Nightmare II, an album penned to be the sequel to the original continuing the story of “when Steven met Alice Cooper“. Cooper states that the new album is “more bloody” than the first, and according to Wikipedia, there are also indications that original Alice Cooper bandmates Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith, and Michael Bruce have reunited with the frontman for three new songs on the album.

Even Zaborgar got in on the act in it's second as he faced off against the Dinosaur Army.

Were doomed....NASA has found an Arsenic based life form on earth!

2010-12-02T10:14:00.000-08:00

At a 2pm EST press conference later today, NASA is expected to announce that they have found an alien life form on Earth, in a lake in California (of all places). Now before you go wrapping tinfoil around your head and holing up in a makeshift bunker with a rifle and an AM radio, the life form is a simple bacteria and it's being described as "alien" not like the blue-light special aliens of SKYLINE but more in the basic sense of the word: An organism that appears in a region to which it is not native. UPDATE - As BojacRedleif points out below in the comments, NASA has not yet confirmed the bacteria is technically "alien" but are expected to speak more to its origins later today.

So why do I share this with you? Has Steven Spielberg already optioned the life rights to the bacteria. No, not yet but this is truly science fiction come true. I'll spare you the nerdy details but all Earthlings are made up of six basic elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. This new bacteria replaces phosphorus with arsenic, something that has never been seen before. It obviously proves that forms of life radically different than humans exist in our universe and, well, may be on their way here to battle for supremacy and suck our brains out.

Details on exactly how NASA came to find and document this new lifeform will be revealed later today and we'll update accordingly. But if you've seen HUBBLE 3D, you know just how mindbendingly large the universe is and with this new discovery, it's hard not to think that movies we once thought of as science fiction could soon become science....non-fiction?

Benji remake???

2010-12-01T09:00:00.000-08:00

Most kids today probably have no idea who or what BENJI is but that's about to change. Fox and Walden are teaming up on a reboot of the classic film series about a heroic stray dog. Writing and directing the film will be Joe Camp, Jr. (LOVE HAPPENS) who just happens to be the son of Joe Camp, creator of the franchise.

Camp says he's launching a nationwide search to find a new Benji with hopes that, like the original dog, he can find a stray in a dog pound.

He said he paired with Walden because they're interested in the "true emotional journey that Benji went on." Benji went on an emotional journey? I think the kids, specifically that poor little girl bound and gagged in the poster above, was slightly more emotionally traumatized that Benji.

The original BENJI cost only $100,000 and went on to gross over $40 million.

Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus

Will the Asylum ever stop with this? Is the Mega Shark there Gamera? When I first heard of this it was Mega Shark vs Gigantosaurus, but I guess they wanted to rip off Roger Cormans Dinocroc and Supergator flicks. I wonder what else the Mega Shark will face of against? Colossal Alien Hunters perhaps?

I've heard about this for quite sometime and always hoped it would never get off the ground, but god help us here it is! The funky metal chic with the sharp edges is a villian created especially for the production and her name is...Swiss Miss???????? I kid you not Swiss Miss! Alrighty then....

This is what Spiderman directed by Tusi Hark would look like on film.

The Invisibleman vs The Fly! Yes This was a real movie!

2010-11-07T20:21:00.000-08:00

Yes way back in the 50's there was a japanese Invisibleman flick and it did quite well so a follow-up was made. In it a man aquires the ability to shrink himself to the size of a housefly and uses this ability to commit murder of beautiful ladies. The police dub him The Fly. A physicist developes a machine to make objects invisible and he and his colleagues decid to use it on the physicist to make him invisible so he can stop the murderous Fly. This reminds me of an unmade Toho follow-up to the Human Vapor where he was to battle a human torch type of person.

Godzilla the Animated series on Netflix streaming!

2010-11-06T10:17:00.000-07:00

Yes the movie it's based on suck scales! The toon though was quite good. What made it good you ask? Well for starters the gave the beasties fire breath and a but load of monsters to sqaure of against. My personal favorites were the three part story arc that essentially was an updated Destroy All Monsters epic! I also like the episode where it fought the giant Robo gorilla. Netflix even has a couple of episodes that never aired in the USA too!

Now if they would get of there tails and put this on actual dvd/blu-ray that would rock! The two or three three episode discs from a couple years back just don't cut it!

Revoltech Rodan!

2010-11-01T11:35:00.000-07:00

I love revoltech figures! Rodan looks incredible! I'm hoping and praying for Gorosaurus and Sanda to come down the pipe from Revoltech.

Acme warehouse the movie??????

2010-11-01T10:12:00.000-07:00

Yes you read that right? A movie based on the Looney Tunes A.C.M.E warehouse. The logic is that Locationcentirc flicks like Night at the Museum 1,2 and the upcoming Disney Magic Kingdom have (and in MagicKingdoms case will) do well at the box office. The one point that really strikes me as odd is that absolutely no Looney Tunes characters will be in it? How can you have a A.C.M.E. movie without Willey P. Coyote? Seriously how can you?

Chuckie Cheese Pez!

2010-10-20T10:58:00.000-07:00

Normally I could careless about Chuckie Cheese premuims, but this definately is something worth getting your hands on. It's a bit expensive for a Pez though as it will set you back $3.99.

AMT BIGFOOT model reissiued as a glow kit!!!!!!!!!

2010-10-18T17:03:00.000-07:00

I had a total geekgasim over the sight of this! I loved the original kit and always loved the Aurora Glow kits. So this is the definition of "crazygroovycool!" I wonder if Loren Colemen will stock these in the International Cryptozoology Museum?

Peter Venkman on the Spike Scream Awards!

2010-10-18T16:57:00.000-07:00

For years now we have been teased and waited for Ghostbusters 3. For years the biggest road block was Bill "freaking" Murray. Recently serious talk of Ghostbusters 3 was flying around, a new script, Ackroid saying it's a go, Ramis saying it was a go, Weaver saying it was a go, and Murray being a dick about the whole thing. Was any of it for real?

Fast forward to Zombieland and Bill Murray plays himself and shows his house guest Ghostbusters in his home theater, his character is the SDCC exclusive for the retro Ghostbusters figures, He then says he would work with everybody on a new flick! hearts skip a beat! The Bill goes back to dick head mode talking shit about the project, then the Scream awards and well see for yourself....

Are we or are we not going to get Ghostbusters "freaking" 3?

IDW's Godzilla Comic for 2011!

2010-10-09T22:23:00.000-07:00

Hell yeah! Been way to long since the King of the Monsters has been on the racks. IDW negotiated not only Godzilla but several other Toho characters/monsters aswell. This should be a bit more exciting than the ape people from Godzilla vs.MechaGodzilla DarkHorse shilled it out for back in the 90's. Heres a cover by Eric (The Goon)Powell.

Toys "R" us "R" Mart????????

2010-10-06T19:44:00.001-07:00

Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: TRU CARS Budget? How’s About Some Cereal & Beef Jerky?

Apparently TRU is going to be the world’s largest 7-11.*

“On Wednesday, Toys “R” Us will announce the opening in 260 of its 585 stores a new convenience section called the “R” Market, which will offer an assortment of consumables and household items such as cereal, macaroni and cheese, canned food, granola bars, cleaning supplies, paper goods, hand soap, juice boxes and nonperishable milk. The “R” Markets will also offer a wider variety of diapers, baby food and other infant supplies for Toys “R” Us consumers. The company will open “R” Markets in additional stores by the end of the year.”
So in case you’re wondering what exactly TRU is budgeting for purchasing, it ain’t toys or CARS but hand soap and mac & cheese? … gee, where else would we find such staples of life?
Via Time magazine which actually also points out …
“For example, a collectible Lighting McQueen, the main character in the hit Pixar movie Cars, costs $2.97 at Wal-Mart. At Toys “R” Us, he and other key characters go for $3.59. Monopoly is $10.44 at Wal-Mart and $12.99 at Toys “R” Us. Here’s a real shocker: at Wal-Mart, a “Surf’s Up” Barbie doll — basically, Barbie in a bathing suit — costs just $5.44. The retail price at the Phillipsburg Toys “R” Us: $19.99.”
It’s a nice feature that also raises the other issue that kids might not really appreciate being in the Clorox aisle :-/
Though TRU is claiming the only space being given over to this is for 4+ clothes which they will stop selling … and they are going to reconfigure for more toys … okay, we’ll believe that when we see it …
*At least 7-11 has slurpees!

Halloween pop tarts!

2010-09-15T11:29:00.000-07:00

Took'em freaking long enough to do this, theres halloween everything else these days, oreo's,cereal,nerds ect... Though I'm not thrilled with Frosted Pumpkin pie flavor at all. Why not candy corn or candy/carmel apple flavor?

No shit for real Stay Puft marshmellows!

2010-08-27T18:18:00.000-07:00

Yes after decades of waiting at long last you can indulge in Stay puft marshmellows! For reasons unknown these things are loaded with caffine!?!? So whats it gonna be, amping up your little sisters cocoa, or high powered smores?

Sym-Bionic Titan

2010-08-01T13:03:00.000-07:00

I'm really juiced up and waiting for this one. It looks like a cross between Tetsujin 28/Gigantor and Izen-Borg. The alien characters landed here on earth awhile back and weekly or every day must face off against evil threats. They do this by way of sym-bionic link with the Titan robot ala Izen Borg. This is set to show on Cartoon Network and is the brain child of Gendy Tatarosky, the man behind Dexters Lab,Samurai Jack,the Clone Wars non cgi toons, ect...

All four Famous Monsters of Filmland #251 covers!

2010-07-29T14:08:00.000-07:00

Here they are all four covers. I really like the Predator cover.

Candwich! The Sandwich in a can!

2010-07-29T14:03:00.000-07:00

In a word, YUCK!!!!! Of all things to try and market... Canned sandwiches.... From what I've heard if you eat one of these you won't ever want another one, EVER! I flatout refuse to take one for the team and try one of these, not happening people.

Return of the Colorforms Alien Outer Spacemen!!!!!!!

2010-07-20T06:32:00.000-07:00

This blew me away! The Four Horsemen are the great minds behind this extremely cool re-release! The glow phase versions are SDCC 2010 exclusives. They are set to be released in waves of 2 each. Here are pics of the first four.

Godzilla wine???????

2010-07-14T10:20:00.000-07:00

Not exactly what I think of when I think of Godzilla. I admit the bottle looks cool though. Do you think they'll market Gamera cheese to go with it?

Final packaging for the Marvel Legends Galactus!

2010-07-05T09:29:00.000-07:00

A whopping 19 inches of planet munching cosmic power! The first time I saw this bad boy it was in a gate fold box, but now its carded! This will be a pain to find mint because of the blister card.

Hot Wheels Wonder Womans Invisible Jet plane exclusive!

2010-07-05T08:48:00.000-07:00

This was originally a joke on Face Book back on April first, but it proved so popular that it is now going to be a 2010 SDCC exclusive! So this joins the ranks of the Tantaun Sleeping bag and Mo-Larr as gags that are now for real. This also envokes the Sideshow totally Invisibleman action figure from a few years back.

Cool SDCC 2010 Swag!

2010-07-05T08:41:00.000-07:00

Theres always cool stuff to be had at the SDCC. Check out some these goodies! I really want the Mego Peter Venkman! Looks like Mo-Lar is a two pack with Skeletor!

Doctor Who action figure 11 pack!

2010-07-02T08:55:00.000-07:00

This is cool as hell! I like Doctor Who and have wanted the figures for a while, but trying to track down all of the different doctors was a pain. That has now been remedied by Entertainment Earth.

Smoked salmon flavored Vodka?????? BLEECH!!!!!!

2010-06-29T10:44:00.000-07:00

I thought the fruit and nut Pringles were bad enough, but this is going to far! This swill now joins the ranks of Bakon and Russian roasted garlic Vodka already on the market. Who buys this?

Seth Rogen as the Green Hornet!

2010-06-28T19:58:00.000-07:00

I'm still on the fence about this one. It is interesting to see a slim Seth Rogen though. From what I've seen of the trailer it's pretty much over the top. An origin story and some rampaging around in the Black Beauty.

First Smurfs now Trolls the motion picture....God help us!

2010-06-27T09:28:00.000-07:00

Any day now I expect an announcement of Snorks the movie from Legendary Pictures. Can My little Pony,Popples,Glow Worm and the Glow Friends,Biscits, and the Munchichis be far behind? You find yourself scratching your head over this and wondering who thought this was a good idea. The hubris behind this project is staggering! Then again we already have projects like Bazooka Joe,View Master, Atari flicks like Missle Command and Asteroids, Battleship,and Candy Land already green lit and in production to look forward to so why not?

Destroy all planets not a legit release from Retro Media?

2010-06-26T07:05:00.000-07:00

This is intersting.... You see a point all the other sites sqaucking about this have failed to mention is the fact that this dvd isn't mentioned anywhere on Fred Olen Rays wedsite. It's strictly a on demand made to order from Amazon.com. If it were a legit release then why the lack of mention of the new dvd on your Retromedia wedsite Fred? Did you put 2010 in the title to dodge copyright, you think a commentary by Carl Craig makes your dvd unique? Come on now Fred.

Further more why such a big fuss about about gamera flick? Shout Factory has the Japanese version with English subtitles coming out shortly for wide release. Normally you see this kinda front-back-go action tied to bigtime properties.

A for real Rock'em Sock'em Robots movie!

2010-06-24T15:13:00.000-07:00

A little while ago I wrote about Hugh Jackmans Real Steel robo Boxing flick. Well it seems that there really will be a Rock'em Sock'em Robots movie, done up gladiator style. The blurb goes like so: A Robot who becomes part human and part robot enters a robot gladiator competion. I know that sentence made very little sense to me either. I don't write it, I just pass the info along.

Debbie Gibson and Tiffanny to beat the crap outa each other on SyFy!

2010-06-24T10:42:00.000-07:00

Yes you read that correctly. Debbie Gibson and Tiffany are going toe to toe in SyFy's upcoming flick Mega Python versus Gatoroid! I'm in the dark as to just what a Gatoriod is....

SyFy and Ayslum have burned themselves out on these half assed flics and are setting up a site called B-Movie mogul so all of us can pitch ideas for there flicks! Actors, plot lines, what vs what ect... This should be fun. I claim The Clash of Everything from Everything Else!

Micheal Jackson Marusan Thriller vinyl dolls!

2010-06-21T15:55:00.000-07:00

I never was a big wacko jacko fan, but these vinyls are definately cool! I need these like I need a hole in my head. Chances I will probably buy them and they will enter the already out of control collection of crazygroovycool stuff of mine.

MEGA SHARK VERUS GIGANOTOSAURUS!

2010-06-20T06:47:00.000-07:00

The Ayslum is at again! Due overwhelming demand a sequel to the underwhelming Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus is on its way to a dvd bargin bin near you! oddly this doesn't show on there wed site, but it was on CNN! Like alot of people I'm curious to see just how these two beasties happen to clash against one another given they come from two totally differnt enviorments.

The loons at the Asylum are also giving Moby Dick a go. The poster says the worlds biggest whale against the biggest weapons! I can hardly wait to see there take on Legendary Pictures Godzilla with there in evitable knock off mockbuster flick.

I would have loved to see Sam Arkoff, Ed Wood and the Asylum collaborate! What wild stuff they would have cranked out! But this can never happen. Though I would love a Troma/Asylum collaboration! Wouldn't you?

Rock'um Sock'um Robots the Movie??????

2010-06-18T13:42:00.000-07:00

I can't say I'm totally shocked. Actually the title is Real Steel and it stars Hugh Jackman as a washed up boxer who was made obsolete by 8 foot tall 2000 pound robots that attempt to knock each others blocks off in a boxing ring.

Shirtless Kirk body spray.

2010-06-18T05:54:00.000-07:00

Do you want to be the stud of the next trekkie convention or your local comic shop ladies man? Then get yourself some of this splashed on and beat the geek girls off with a rolled up copy of Previews! Word is it's extra effective on hotties in green body paint....

Live action Blue Beetle tv show!

2010-06-18T05:47:00.000-07:00

Of all the DC characters this is the last one I would have expected to be considered for a live action tv show! So far it's just in the sample pilot stage, but it has to be better than Mercy Reef; the mericfully unpicked up Aquaman pilot from a few years back or the pointless Birds of Prey show. I wonder how long it will be before Marvel starts its airwave assault with 3rd string characters? Mort the Dead Teenager anyone? With vampires and werewolves being the it thing why not Morbius and Werewolf by Night? Marvels been leading the movie and animated movie charge and DC's now picking up the slack in those areas aswell. Now maybe DC will finally get an Ambush Bug tv show of the ground....

First offical Smurfs movie pic.

2010-06-16T18:53:00.000-07:00

This is really going to be different. Doogie and Smurfs, what a combo....

Badass pics from the new Predators flick!

2010-06-16T18:44:00.000-07:00

If the movies half as good as the pics are then this will be one hell of a wild time at the movies! I really like the rogue mutant Predator with the exposed brain! Exposed brains are the edge in physcological warfare.

Nintendo 3DS.

2010-06-16T18:38:00.000-07:00

It was bound to happen people, with 3-D movies all the rage with hollywood execs and 3-d tvs for your home you knew something like this was coming. This little gizmo uses a clever projection of the graphics to mimic a 3-D effect. best of all no freaking glasses! This reminds me alot of the old arcade holoseium from the early 90's.

Bronze age Jaws Japanese gekagi/manga from 1975!

2010-06-16T18:21:00.000-07:00

Now this is pretty freaking cool! Movie adaptations of Hollywood blockbusters are fairly common; but rarely are they ever as interesting as this! This is considered to be quite a rarity among collecters, so if you find one for a bargin price don't let it pass you by!

Fruit and Nut pringles!!!! WTF?????

2010-06-16T17:34:00.000-07:00

I'm down with new flavors of Pringles but this is a little too out there for my tastes. YUCK!

Vintage Monsters #1 Uber Sweet!

2010-04-06T22:26:00.000-07:00

Wow! What a cool magazine! This a German and English fanzine! Love the Planet of vampires cover, dont you?

Famous Monsters of Filmland unused cover for issue #231

2010-04-06T22:07:00.000-07:00

Looks great! It had Forry Ackermans approval aswell but that butt munch Ray Ferry for some mysterious reason didn't use it. So long delayed here it is for your enjoyment.

Hot Wheels Ghostbusters Ecto-1!

2010-04-06T22:01:00.000-07:00

How in the blue hell this slipped past me is incredible! This is even cooler than the 1966 tv Batmobile they did! Best of all it can be had pretty cheap on ebay. Before this my fave die cast Ecto-1 was the old 80's Fugi Film premium, that one will set you back a few bucks if you can find one! Don't get me wrong the Jonnylighting Ecto-1's were cool, but this is just crazygroovycool! Just for the record Fuji Film did another cool premium a few years back, a Batman action figure sans all the goofy colors and implausible accessories. It's understandable if you missed out on the Fuji Film goodies as most people just don't think cool gimmies when you think of Fuji Film.

No fooling, a Star Wars sitcom is on its way?????????

2010-04-06T12:26:00.000-07:00

I have been trying to wrap my head around this for days and days, why George, why? apparently the stars wars universe is so rich that comedic seinfeldish events take place in the daily lives of the characters. Is there really a darkside Numan or a jedi Krammer out there in a universe long ago and far away?

Think and Grin.

2010-04-04T21:13:00.000-07:00

Killer Kaiju Monsters! Strange Beasts of Japanese Film a cool new book coming 6/01/2010

2010-04-04T00:27:00.000-07:00

This is great it features a boat load of kaiju and the heroes that stood against them! It has sections covering there strengths,weaknesses,biology,special powers and abilities,ect... It's not often a book like this is produced for America so I suggest snagging a copy as soon as you can! It's hard cover and has a retail of $27.00, not bad. Published by harpercollins. From what I've seen of it it beats August Raygan's books and thats no small feat! The author is one Mr. Ivan Vartanian.

Apples IPAD is total crap!

2010-04-03T11:11:00.000-07:00

I had the chance to monkey around with one of these and well lets just say it's a over hyped useless piece-o-crap! Why you say? Well it doesn't have any usb ports, so no hooking up digital cameras,printers ect.(in fact scratch printing all together, so much for the class room applications.),doesn't support flash so no luck seeing a huge amount of video on line, no way to load software except through apples store online at a stupidly high price, the keyboard as it is doesn't work very well and it's $499.00! Thats alot of dough for a semi useable device don't you think? Sure opening sales will be big, but after people see it for the crap that it is many will be returned and sales will drop dramatically.

If Steve Jobs had put some more effort into this gizmo's developement he just may have had a winner on his hands, but all he produced was a big IPhone that doesn't make calls. Whoopee fragging do!

The complete cover for Famous Monsters of Filmland #251 and peak at the incentive cover for #251

2010-04-03T09:22:00.000-07:00

Looks pretty good so far, not wild about IDW publishing it though, there a small time indie comic publisher and really don't have any magazine experience.

The New Freddy Krueger from the remake.

2010-04-02T12:57:00.000-07:00

I can't say I have high hopes for this flick. Platnium Dunes (yes I misspelled the studios name on purpose,there utter crap.)doesn't have a very good track record on the remake front. The look of our fave dream demon in this unneeded redux is just plain goofy looking! Jackie was okay in watchment but that doesn't mean his a great character actor!

A solid 10 on the yuck meter, Nestle's Soy Sauce Kit Kat!

2010-04-01T15:20:00.000-07:00

I'm all for inovation and keeping a product fresh and relevent but this time Nestle has gone to far! Ungawa this was nasty! For years I've seen a tried all manner of Japanese Kit Kats and other snacks. Some where quite good, Pocky for example. Some are great; HI-CHEWS ROCK! Then there are abominations of culinary sadism like the Soy Sauce Kit Kat from Nestle Japan! Somethings that are fine on there own should not be combined! Would you eat a peanut butter and relish sandwich?

Pics of Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo from the upcoming live action movie!

2010-04-01T11:56:00.000-07:00

Personally I think they look pretty good and faithful to the original cartoons, dont you?

Happy Pagan New Year! aka April Fools Day!

2010-04-01T01:03:00.000-07:00

April first was and is the begining of the new year for pagans. The Church referred to them as April Fools.

News Flash! This just in, Fruit Loops and Crunch Berries are in fact not fruit related! Lawsuit pending!

2010-03-30T15:52:00.000-07:00

Yes you read that correctly, some jackass in sunny California has gotten it into his head he can get a fat payday by suing Kelloggs and Qauker because Froot Loops and Capatain Crunch with Crunch Berries are not fruit related! A judge tossed the Fruit loops case on the grounds of the idea as being utterly ridiculous, but get this the Crunch Berry case is moving forward! A about year ago or so a woman tried to file suit with Qauker because there weren't any such thing as Crunch Berry bushes any where in the world. Anyone with half a brain knows Yoko Ono had them torn out and destroyed decades ago just like she sued the cereal Strawberry Fields out of existance.

Burger King goes slasher!

2010-03-29T16:41:00.000-07:00

What a fragging day! Chucky,Freddy Krueger,Jason Vorhees and the Scream Killer all frequent Burger King during the night shift? I'm not sure what this new ad campaign is all about or what Burger King is trying to express with it! This is why I don't work the night shift!

Shogun Warriors the movie with life size robots!!!!!!!!

2010-03-29T16:04:00.000-07:00

Like the Legendary Godzilla movie confirmation wasn't enough to have me in total bliss! I get this nugget of joy aswell! Jules Urbach a man of serious vision has optioned Giaking and other giant robots from the old 70's mattel toy line to be featured in a huge (and I mean huge literally!) 3-D flick! Instead of the usual cop-out of cgi Jules has opted for life size robots to slug it out on screen! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Cameron! Wow! If this does well the sequel will be Shogun warriors with even more Giant robots! I hoping beyond hope that Godzilla and Rodan show up, they were part of the toy line afterall! So add this to Voltron,Robotech and the Battletech flicks on the way.

Holy smeg it's true! Legendary Pictures is making a new Godzilla movie for the USA!

2010-03-29T15:46:00.000-07:00

I've heard about this project for quite some time but I didn't say much about it due to the fact I never really expected it to happen, especially after the Tri Star mess! Legendary pictures is partnering up with Warner Bros to do this like they teamed with them to make 300 and The Dark Night. So I have some faith that this will be a Godzilla we can recognise. They(Legendary) Say they want to go for the elements that made the old Godzilla films great and stay authentic to the characters! To me that says alien invaders, super science weapons and another big monster to throw down with! Toho will be handling the Japanese distribution of the flick. As I learn more about this I'll share the info. I wonder what the promotional stuff will be like? Fast food toys,cereal,ect... The flick is scheduled for a 2012 release! Maybe this will light a fire under J.J. Abrams ass to get a sequel to Cloverfield of the ground all fraging ready as his dream of an iconic american monster is being washed away.....

Taco Bell is giving away free Atari games!!!!!!!

2010-03-28T21:48:00.000-07:00

I made a run for the border earlier tonight and When I ordered my little daughter her kids meal she immediately tore into it to see what her free toy was. She was a bit perplexed by her prize...It was a mac and PC cd-rom of of Ataris Lunar Lander! Obvisously dad was much more excited than she was. They also have Super Break out, Missile Command,and Super Asteroids! My wife was a bit confused why I came home with an arm load of Taco bell Kids meals. My little one actually enjoyed playing the games with me, it was fun to share some thing from my childhood with her.

Ever wanted to take a bath in Ectoplasm? Then give Gelli Baff a whirl!

2010-03-28T13:42:00.000-07:00

Yuck! Seriously Yuck! Now kids can play in a whole tube full of brightly colored goop and get mosturized at the same time!

Marshmallow gun and blaster! From Marshmallow Fun

2010-03-28T13:34:00.000-07:00

These are pretty cool executive items! Just because you grow up and become sucessful doesn't mean you can't have cool toys to play with at work! They have a Ghostbusters vibe going for them don't they?

Native American Indian Feather Pops???????

2010-03-28T13:23:00.000-07:00

Wow....I thought we were beyond all this type of thing with being politically correct and all. These actually showed at the New York Toy Fair this year.

Return of Voltron and Jumbo Machinders!!!!!!!

2010-03-27T21:31:00.000-07:00

This really got me excited when I saw these at Toyfare this year! Jumbo Machinders are great and Voltron is pretty cool, mix the two together and you have a winner in my book! Keeping my fingers crossed they make some villians or license some othe characters like Dia Majin, Mecha Godzilla,Gorgo, ect....

Heidi Montag wants to fight 3-D sharks with her breasts??????

2010-03-26T23:33:00.000-07:00

Yes Mtv has at long last put the kabosh on the Hills so Heidi thinks she can now be a Hollywood mogul! Hmmm....
Her big plan to launch this dream is to make a movie based on a screen play she wrote, a beach comedy about a beach town attacked by a shark that she must fight with her breasts! She even wrote a part for Dolly Pardon as the town mayor! I don't think even Uwel Boll could be this arrogant! Not even Ed Wood would have touched this with a ten foot pole. Best of luck Heidi.

What do you get when you cross Willy Wonka with Saw? Gobstopper!

2010-03-26T22:38:00.000-07:00

Those guys at Funny or Die make the best faux trailers ever! Christopher Lyod as a phsycotic Willy Wonka, canniabalistic Ommpa Lompa's and the dreaded secret ingredient make for one hell of a flick concept! The original Charlie and the Chocolate factory was creepy as it was!

Marvel Comics Punisher joins the ranks of the undead in Punisher#15!!!!!!! Trashes Nazi Zombie Horde!

2010-03-26T21:27:00.000-07:00

Marvel must have decided the occult was the way to go after the success of the Marvel Zombies. Brother VooDoo is now Doctor VooDoo the new Sorcerer Supreme and Frank Castle aka The Punisher has become a reanimated highly armed super freak called Franken-Castle! It all starts with a literal bang in issue 15 of the Punisher when Franken-Castle takes on a million nazi zombies standing between him and his target. Marvel has publicy stated this new franken-castle is here to stay and not a one trick pony/stunt to generate sales. it can't be any worse than when Frank was trashing demons during his Max reboot.

Buck Rodgers the movie!

2010-03-26T19:50:00.000-07:00

I'm okay with this actually, Buck rodgers has been around since 1920 and is a great action/adventure hero. The studio bringing this our way is Paradox Entertainment, the irony that they hired Paul W.S. Anderson to direct is not lost on me.

Smell like a Iron Man!

2010-03-26T11:18:00.000-07:00

Underneath all that metal and circuts it must be uncomfortable and hot, so it makes sense Tony Stark would want to freshen up between battles as his armour is lacking a exo shower attachment. The good folks at Diesel have produced a limited edition Iron Man 2 Cologne for tough guys! It even comes in a big red iron fist!

Cereal Killers, the book!

2010-03-25T20:02:00.000-07:00

Since 2006 i've waited and waited for this to finally be published. I gotten plenty of up dates on it and lots and lots of pics of it contents, but not the book itself. Reminds quite a bit of Mr. Robb berry and his Magazine Planet-Q; he stated the new issue would be out October 2009....Still waiting. Also still waiting for his 70's cereal boxes and premiums guide book he mentioned years ago and even showed a cover for. Sometimes if your fans wait to long they lose interest and go away.....

Endangered Species, Eli Roth's Giant monster/kaiju flick

2010-03-25T18:11:00.000-07:00

Seems this has been on the burner for awhile but is now moving right along. Eli has stated his monster will be something grounded in realality, just freaking huge! No aliens,robots,or virus; just something unexpected that once roamed the earth now runing amuk. Well dinosaurs,big apes,giant snakes,mega sharks,giant octopuses, and bugs have been done over and over. So what exactly will Eli Roth mutate to giant size?

Iron Sky: Return of the Moon Nazis!

2010-03-24T21:59:00.000-07:00

This is a cool little movie I got to peep. In 1945 a group of Nazi's based in Antartica Who had been working on saucer technology(There were actual reports of Nazi saucers back then.) escape to the moon. Years pass and they sucessfully colonize the dark side of the Moon. 2018 they launch an invasion of Earth! This was made by the same guys who did the popular web flick Star Wreck. Iron Sky is set for world wide theatrical release!

Alien versus Winnie the Pooh?????!!!!????!!!!!!!

2010-03-24T15:31:00.000-07:00

This is just way to fragging strange even for me! At first I thought I was imagining this odd e-book, but it's real, very real! G.H. Burger is a strange individual who will be sued out of existance. Google Alien vs Pooh if you want to. I can't imagine disney letting this stay up for long as they are very protective of there icons, remember what happened to the Air Pirate Funnies or The uncensored Mouse comics? Ridley Scott will probably just chuckle though...

Norman...Norman! Listen too your mother! Polar Lights reissuies the Bates Physco Mansion kit!

2010-03-23T20:50:00.000-07:00

This is a great kit! This time they ramped it up and included a light set and Normans mother plus the option to do a hill top build aswell, hill not included. Overall this crazygroovycool!

Yeah baby! Yeah! Austin Powers 4 on the way!!!!

2010-03-22T22:57:00.000-07:00

This will either rock or it will suck, The big question here what will they do with it? Austins already been to the moon, traveled through time, been cyro-frozen,and has been reunited with his long lost brother/ex-arch enemey Doctor Evil. How many characters will Myers play this time?
