  • “Ghostbusters 3” news!

    There’s been ALOT opf hype lately about the return of the Ghostbusters! Especially since the recent arrival of the Ghostbusters video game which all the original ‘Busters voiced. It seems that all of the original cast members are all back for a third feature film with Rick Moranis only to be rumored and I believe fiming is to begin later this year. I am not sure about everyone else but I’m all about some good nostalgia! I really enjoyed the last Indiana Jones film and I get alot of shit for it all the time. I usually welcome good bands reuniting if at the very least just to see what happens and if they can actually pull it off successfully. So naturally I am pretty excited to see what they do with this new Ghostbusters movie.

  • Rob Liefeld = The modern Jack Kirby?

    I know this may come a little late for some universaldork readers but since I just stumbled across this, I felt it worthy of my reporting time because not only does it bring up a very serious comic book industry issue for me (more on this later), it’s absolutely fucking bananas and makes me feel even more like

    Robert Kirkman is full of shit.

    105 - Robert Kirkman, Greg Pak, Rob Liefeld, Jeff Parker

    First off, Kirkman’s bizarrely confrontational stance here really bothers me. Why does he need to come protect Liefeld from the school bully that is the comic book message boards? In WIZARD, no less!? Two possibilities here:

    A. He genuinely believes this b.s. or

    B. Image put him up to this.

    Unfortunately, I have to go with A, because at the time of this little editorial, Liefeld wasn’t exclusive to Image and in fact was hard at work on the very forgettable Onslaught: Reborn for Marvel. For those who didn’t click on the link, here are a few gems from the commentary:

    “But Rob – who else could you compare to Jack? Rob has the same energy on his pages…”

    No. No he doesn’t. What’s being mistaken for “energy” is the ability to cause the brain to work overtime in order to accurately understand what dimension what object is coming from.

  • let’s hear it for the worst weatherman of all time!!

    I just had to post this here. I saw it last night for the first time and laughed so hard that I was in tears. Check out this video of the worst weatherman of all time as he struggles painfully to keep it together and make it through this daily weather segment!! This is truely brilliant….

  • It’s Fathers Day with “the Stepfather”!!

    Well it’s Father’s Day! To really bring some good vibes on this lovely day I thought it would be nice if here at Universal Dork we spent some quality time with one of our favorite movie dads-The Stepfather!! Man did he have it rough! All he ever wanted was a good wholesome american family and some damn respect!! Instead what does he get? A wife and kid who who constantly piss him off! Let’s face it The Stepfather had to make ALOT of sacrifices to make his family perfect-so what if he had to kill a few people along the way right? Why does everyone got to constantly step to The Stepfather. He even came back from the dead and returned for more damn fatherin’ in a sequel! How dedicated is that? Well let’s take a moment here to remember some good time spent with Terry O’Quinn, LOST’s John Locke, as he shows all the real dads out there how to handle a small family disagreement!

  • Power Man and Iron Fist: Thunderbolts? WTF??

    Marvel’s recent solicitations listed Thunderbolts #136 as”classified” but a recent image posted on former Lying in the Gutters gossip columnist, Rich Johnston’s new site bleedingcool.com shows what Marvel may be hiding until after herocon: Luke Cage and Iron Fist as new Thunderbolts members!

    pmif-thund

    I don’t even know how to rationalize this. I love these guys, especially considering that they were comics’ first openly gay couple (back in the 1970’s), but this has to be a huge piece of misdirection. Luke and Danny have been members of the New Avengers for some time now, still fighting Cap’s exhausted Civil War battle. I can hardly imagine what could possibly cause…

    …wait a minute…

    I get it….(I think)

    This is probably Norman’s Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Just like he has a Hawkeye, Wolverine, Ms. Marvel etc. Boy Marvel, you sure had me there! Any bets on which villains are posing as them? I’m thinking it’s a couple of guys from a crew that occasionally wreck some stuff.

  • aw man….a Teen Wolf Remake?!! No…please…

    Teen Wolf is such an awesome movie and has been one of my favorite 80’s flicks forever! Michael J. Fox as the coolest werewolf in school?! Playing basketball as the Wolf was the best idea ever plus he looked super bad ass in that yellow tank top and shorts! Then they made made “Teen Wolf Too” which ended up as one of the lamest movies ever with Jason Bateman. Well now word on the street from Moviehole.net  is that Teen Wolf is indeed up for a remake! This I think is a bad idea. Haven’t they learned yet that remaking every cool movie and making it a peice of shit isn’t a good idea?

  • From adventureland to Zombieland!

    Remember when Woody Harrelson attacked that papparazzi guy and then said that it was because he thought that dude was a zombie? Well the official trailer for the movie he was filming, Zombieland, can finally be seen! As far as zombie movies go I have said before that they’ve been beat pretty heavily into the dirt since the arrival of “28 Days Later” which started the whole craze like never before years ago. Hey we got some good zombie flicks since then haven’t we? I guess also you could say “Shaun of the Dead” really got the Zombie Horror back on the map as well. Well judging from the new trailer for “Zombieland” it seems very possible maybe Hollywood has at least one last cool horror comedy left in them!

    Yeah Zombieland looks fun as hell from the trailer and it also features Jesse Eisenberg as well in his second movie involving running around theme parks. Check out this out and find out what exactly made ol’ Woody into a real life slayer of the living dead!

  • Epic D&D with universal dork blogger!!

    Hey I had this video up on my myspace page for quite sometime but I thought I would post it here too. I play D&D every Sunday evening and right now I’m currently the DM. This game however I was just a player character. Sometimes we dress up for our games, play by candle light in the basment, all have special voices and we have alot of fun! Here’s a clip from one of our games. Check this out!

  • DEADWORLD movie!! One of BEST zombie comics to hit the big screen!

    It really surprises me how many people have never read or for that matter even heard of the awesome 1987 comic book Deadworld! This is a great apocolyptic zombie tale that follows a group of Teens traveling in a school bus cross country on the run from the undead. There is a twist though, a group of zombies have gained human intellegence and this gang rides around on Harleys, speak their mind and are led by a bad ass undead biker named “King Zombie” who’s determined  to open the gateway to Hell on Earth!

  • 4 Horror flicks you didn’t know you were excited for!

    Being a big horror fan I always looking forward to possible awesome new movies! So right now here the ones I have been hearing the most about that look pretty promising. I doubt most of these will have a theatrical release here but that just means that they’ll probably be that much better than most of the movies passing in the theaters today as horror. Check out these trailers:

    “Trick R’ Treat” is supposed to be an awesome throwback to movies like “Creepshow” that had several creepy tales in one movie. This is something that most movies today can’t seem to get right. I’ve heard alot of great things about this one across the board! It’s coming out sometime in October…
