I am posting this just in case some of you out there have never seen this! It was made by some one at the Stan Winston studio a few years back and features “Boner” from Growing Pains as The Joker! Personally i think this version of the Joker & Batman are the closest we have seen on film to how they look in the comics. I always hoped in the major motion pictures they would have given Batman this classic look instead of the armor like suits he has always donned. Anyway if you have never seen this check it out and be warned of the strange twist the movie takes (i guess it makes sense that this was someone from Stan Winstons’ studio when you see who the guest stars are). If you have seen it already enjoy it again one more time…
Check out this bizarre clip fingernails of our favorite hermit beard comic author beard, reading watchmen fingernails as his beard character Rorschach nails:
I’m kind of surprised by his soundtrack! I mean, I didn’t think Moore would go for such a (great but) played song. I always imagined he just sat around his castle listening to his own music. I guess this is what he’s doing with his time while waiting for the Watchmen movie to release, you know, so he can not watch it.

Two of things I love most in life are comic books and Prince. Amazingly, Revolutionary Comics Co. had the foresight to devote an issue to the greatest tiny man of all time: Prince Rogers Nelson! Check out the front and back covers

The Karate Kid may very well be the BEST movie ever made! However i completely forgot that they made action figures. Check out that kid doing an impression of Mr. Miagi. Hey wait, where the HELL is The Cobra Kai and Master Sensei though? WEAK!!

Today was a day unlike any other.
For the last year or so, I have been determined to collect and read the entire West Coast Avengers run. Well, a stop at the Goodwill yielded about 30% of it.
That’s right, I found issues #7-45 (save the issues that I already had, like John Byrne’s Vision Quest Arc) along with a dozen other gems such as the complete run of 1986-87′s Comet Man, Some Black Widow goodness courtesy of Marvel Fanfare, some X-Tinction Agenda issues as well as a couple of Typhoid Mary’s early Daredevil appearances!!
This store (off McLaughlin just outside of Portland), had 3 long boxes full of 1980′s goodness. Many interesting DC titles (that confuse me but are probably great reads) and even a copy of The Dark Night Returns.
At .49 a copy, I felt like I was robbing them, I’ve had a smile on my face all day since!

Wow, recently I was turned on to a great music video by some guy I had never heard of named “Chris Dane Owens“. A friend of mine sent me this video as a joke and I have to say it is pretty funny. But then I took a closer look at it and all of a sudden I was really into it and borderline obsessing over it. I watched the video over and over. The catchy faux funk baseline over some epic, drawn out guitar lines and vocal melodies had me hooked. But what had me more hooked was the story-line, A FANTASY ADVENTURE starring himself, a lady, a Dr. Doom type villain, several groups of 3 hot ladies, his knife throwing buddy, another buddy, an older buddy, and a fleet of fire welding dragons. Take a look for yourself.
This video now gets me all stoked like watching Lord of the Rings. But what can I say, I’m a sucker for fantasy adventure stories, especially when they involve medieval funk grooves. Who is this “Chris Dane Owens”? I did a little research and this is what I found out. (more…)

Hey it’s time to look back on all of the horror films i saw in theatres or released on dvd in 2008 and decide which ones were the coolest! Keep in mind i have not yet seen “Let the Right One In” yet or “Splinter” which i hear were pretty rad-so it’s very possible those could enter the top 10. So let’s get down to business!!!
10. The Cottage: This was a surprisingly great horror comedy starring Andy Serkis (LOTR’s Golem). A cool gory fast paced tale of 2 criminals buffoons who kidnap the daughter of an underground kingpin holding her for ransom in a cottage in the farmland. What ensues is a comedic bloodbath when they realize they’re tresspassing on a hulking mutated rednecks land. Fans of “Shaun of the Dead” and “Severance” will be all over this one. A fun gory romp!

So if this is not proof that Hordak was the coolest thing to happen to Masters of the Universe i don’t know what is!! Really now, in the 80′s was there anything as rad as the Horde Slime Pit? I mean you could only watch Slimer “slime” people on the Ghostbusters and dream you could get slimed one day on Nickelodeon’s “You Can’t Do That On Television”. So when this Slime pit came out i think every kid in America nearly lost their goddamn minds! Hordak i love you but did you really have to bring along She-Ra with you to the Masters of the Universe?
