From what I have heard thus far it’s being hyped as a possible real video, but I am certain it’s just a “show” as AP has already says the show is for pure entertainment. It sure would be cool if the video of the kids on the beach turned out to be authentic, at least for a moment here we can believe in their existence. The only real problem here is that to me this “Mermaid” looks a bit on the CG side.

Still you can’t help but wonder if there really were mermaids they probably wouldn’t look like Daryl Hanna from “SPLASH” and yeah that’s too bad they’d probably look like a strange sea creature.

So if you really have the Mermaids on the brain and liked the found footage from Animal Planet’s documentary then you need to check out She Creature, the remake by Stan Winston, easily the BEST monster mermaid movie ever made!! Check it!

I know the whole false documentary thing is a little over played nowdays but I think  this movie has enough originality going for it with it’s subject matter so far to make it stand out on it’s own. As you know I’m a sucker for a good monster movie and though this one seems to bare alot in common with Cloverfield and maybe that 90′s movie Twister, these newly released clips have got me pretty dang excited!! Make sure to check out the other clips after the trailer-you’ll get a little more Troll in those…

Ok well if that wasn’t good enough we have this new picture that I just saw on Yahoo news of Bigfoot from the northwoods of Minnesota. While this one isn’t really all that impressive it’s still keeping Bigfoot in the news! As you all know I am a big fan of him and wanna give him props and publicity whenever possible. It seems that this photo was taken from a motion activated camera. I think at first glance it looks like it could be my Uncle Jim wandering around the woods! This really looks like a dude in a snowmobile suit to me. But whatever, if they say it’s Bigfoot I’m cool with that too!

I realize that no one is safe from cut backs and the potential of pink slips. But it appears that one select group of individuals has been hit extremely hard…Big Movie Monsters! The reality is simple, these hardworking and dedicated icons of the silver screen are only called upon from time to time and ultimately face type casting after only one appearance. If they want to get out of the jungles, forests, and oceans of the world and make the move to Hollywood life, their limited utility is a standard clause of their contract. So they live simple lives while not working in movies and are probably the most frugal of all Hollywood stars. But when their benefits, savings, living areas (i.e., aviaries, sanctuaries, hives, etc.), and investments were tossed aside and lost in a plummeting market, they were forces to find new lines of employment just to provide some basic necessities.

Sure the strong backs and large footprints that these monsters lends them to heavy labor and construction. But most found this not to be able to support their long term needs and many were let go as they faced allegations of being involved in missing workers reports or often drove out of suburban development areas as those living there felt their lives and their families were at risk. So Mattel, the makers of Hot Wheels stepped up to provide relief to these hard stricken monsters.

Over the years, Hot Wheels has always challenged children to sling their favorite die cast eye gouging car through loops, ramps, and hoops or fury. Over time, a successful model to up the ante for these daredevils was to present big arse monsters that threaten the cars and they come spiraling through bends and tracks. Testing the resolve, timing, and skill of the car launchers to evade these creatures and reach the end of the course. So to continue to build on this, Mattel has hired many of the Big Movie Monsters to be commercial icons and models for their toy lines. The monsters not only get paid up front for their work, but receive royalties for the commercial and ads that are released for each toy. Also, when a parent makes the wise decision to purchase a Hot Wheels track featuring one of these humunga-dunga beasts, a couple dollars go to a relief fund for long term Big Movie Monster support.

Here are a couple of then an nows of this crisis now in hopeful resolution:

The T-Rex from the Jurassic Park series waits in a snowy line for his benefits:

Now T-Rex stomps out cities and lives through his plastic likeness…attaching Hot Wheels cars with joy.

The Croc from Lake Placid, Rogue, to name a few…was living in the sewers of NYC living off of rats and standing in long lines hoping to find employment. In an interview…he felt that it was ironic that he was reduced to live exactly as one of his earlier movie appearances depicted him.

The Croc has been integrated successfully into the Mattel legacy toy line and is receiving continued relief in hopes that the movie work some day turns around.

The once indisputable teeth of the ocean was reduced to wither and dry up with land lovers as he looks for a steady job. Of all monsters…Jaws has seen the most work in his various film rolls from the original Jaws, and Deep Blue Sea; to the continued Syfy film series on shark attacks and dismembered naked ladies.

Now the teeth of the race track, Jaws is an icon for his bite on the passing ill fated racers!

Probably one of the hardest hit is the Cobra…from King Cobra and Komodo vs. Cobra.

But now with the help of Mattel and Hot Wheels, King Cobra is slithering his way to a venomous strike on the high speed horse powered youths of the world.

Of recent success, the T-Rex Skeleton from Night at the Museum and its sequel Battle for the Smithsonian, was bitten by some unfair restrictions of his contract as not really being a living monster and therefore unable to hold many of the rights in the actors guild. Forced to find other sources of revenue, he awaits another sequel in the museum series and the potential of many more direct to DVDs I’m sure.

Now sustaining himself on the royalties and work with Hot Wheels, T-Rex skeleton is facing the facts of his skeletal restrictions, but still staying busy and making a couple bucks on the side until Hollywood comes a knocking once again.

You may ask yourself, this unemployment for type cast stars cannot be limited to the Big Movie Monsters…and you are right. Several other icons are faced with the same issues. Here is an example of Skeletor, lost after the He-Man franchise has been played with for years. Only hoping that a new film will at some point be in the works.

Apparently, Hot Wheels and Mattel are piloting a program to look at others that might be affected by this unemployment. In Skeletor’s case, perhaps he can regain the throne in Snake Mountain, but for now, settle with a Hot Wheels track set that pays homage to him…and the bills.

Please support Hot Wheels in the global effort to raise donations and awareness to the strife facing out Big Movie Monsters!

 The story is this creature supposedly emerged from a cave behind a waterfall and four teenagers apparently feared for their lives saying it charged them. Highly unlikely I say, but then of course the stupid kids beat it to death with some rocks and then threw it back in the lake.  Real cool huh? Um, it sounds to me like we’ve got a bunch of stupid monster murdering kids on our hands here. Below is a picture of the area that this creature appeared and died.

Apparently there is speculation that this creature could be a shaved sloth or a pitbull terrier. Really? A shaved sloth? Who in the world is shaving down  sloths?! It sure as hell is not using an electric razor out in the forest by itself! And really, a pitbull terrier?!! Scientists think this thing is a pit bull? Has the whole world lost their mind? Well whatever it is, thanks to those dumb jack ass teenagers it’s now dead. What do you think?

Then also there was just recently this Bigfoot sighting!

Then this recent lake monster in Florida! Damn bring on the monsters!!
