  • Captain America #600 Speculation!

    I’ve been getting pretty excited for the big anniversary issue (#600) and have been trying to figure out what this huge reveal/development/twist is going to be that Marvel has been so vocal about the last few weeks.

    At this point we’ve pretty much all seen the ads for ‘REBORN’ in the last few weeks’ comics, but it seriously raises some interesting questions that may develop in #600:

    Who or what is being reborn?

    The obvious answer would be the return of Steve Rogers but Brubaker has been building up Bucky for a long time now and the character (as Cap) has only just recently been integrated into the Marvel Universe proper, it would seem illogical to bring Steve back right now. But with the movie in the works, Steve will have to be back by 2010 making it very possible he will return soon.

  • Real life Sea serpents!

    I was up late last night and saw a cool little film of “The Monk Fish” which was one of the featured videos last night on You Tube. Deep sea creatures  always intrigue me so I checked out a vide from some time ago I saw with an amazing creature called the Oar Fish. I guess real sea serpents do exist. Check out this amazing animal in a rare sighting near shore:

    Oh and here’s the video I saw of the Monk Fish too which is very creepy!!

  • Schwarzenegger to star in new Predator flick?!

    I have just read some interesting news on one of my favorite websites Bloodydisgusting.com about good ol’ Arnold who’s been getting ALOT of attention here lately. Anyway it seems that Robert Rodriguez who is helming the new movie “Predators”  has been making calls and courting Schwarzenegger to return as “Dutch” in the new, now revealed sequel rather than a remake (thank god) . The only problem is Arnie ain’t calling back!

  • It’s Saturday Night! GET Metal with ALF!

  • Speaking of Schwarzenegger…?????

    Ummm… yeah, I was talking the other day About Schwarzenegger being in the new movie “The Expendables”. How cool is that huh? Well also Arnold did alot of commercials in Japan but I’m not so sure this was such a good idea. Everyone please remember he’s our Governor of California….check this out:

  • Small Wonder: Television’s Best Kept Secret

    After reading today, that an update of Short Circuit is in the works, I started thinking about my favorite 80’s robot from the sitcom, Small Wonder!

    An extremely entertaining show full of ugly people that is best enjoyed the second time around. It stars Tiffany Brissette as Vicki the Robot, a little android girl created by her Geppetto-like father for the amusement of the rest of the Lawson family. Vicki sleeps inside a cabinet located in her hormonal ‘brother’ Jamie’s room when she’s not rapidly vaccuming the den or flapping her arms to gain flight for the viewer’s entertainment.

    Small Wonder has many bizarre moments, most of which deal with Vicki’s dark side and her programming’s limits when it comes to common human-specific issues. Check out this video of Vicki learning about mortality:

    If you’ve never seen this show and want the story before you plunk down hundreds of dollars for high-res bootlegs of the entire series’ run, then keep reading, but WARNING: SPOILERS ABOUND!!!

  • Van Damme! What a FOOL!!

    I’m sure everyone has heard all about “The Expendables” movie already? If not It’s a new movie  that Sylvester Stallone is writing, directing and starring in! I don’t give a shit what anyone says his last RAMBO movie was soooo bad ass! So naturally I am pretty excited for this one. The premise is simple: a team of  mercenaries head off to South America to kick the crap out of a dictator. Sounds like nothin special huh? Well what is so rad about this movie is the cast. Arnold Schwarzeneger, Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lungren, Danny Trejo!! Oh man the only one they are missing is Van Damme!!

  • Summertime & The Spider-man theme park ride!! GO NOW!!

    It’s finally officially summertime in Portland Oregon! I must say too it is about time!! One thing I won’t be doing in PDX this year is going to “Islands Of Adventure” and riding the Spider-Man ride. Damn!! I was lucky enough to have lived in Florida (or maybe unlucky? Cuz mostly Florida kinda blows..) for two years and got to go to this amazing theme park several times and ride the BEST theme park ride of all time over and over!!

  • Dragged to hell (…well, actually, I paid to go).

    So yesterday I went and watched the latest Sam Raimi film, Drag Me To Hell, staring the insanely good-looking Alison Lohman as sexy branch-manager-to-be, Christine Brown. This coupled with the equally attractive opening credits sequence of the film had me ready for that unfortunately-all-too-rare feeling of total satisfaction while leaving a cool theater on a hot day. But no. Actually this piece of shit, fell off about half-way through. Seriously, I was so stoked about it for the first half (the nosebleed being the peak of that excitement) but everything that happened after was like a steady downhill ride into…well…hell.

  • tony stark get’s drunk with the toxic avenger!?!

    I just came across this cool little cartoon series “The Greatest Fan Film of All Time” today and found it to be QUITE amusing! It has alot of  neat appearances  by some pretty awesome characters and best of all it’s pretty damn humorous! I love the fact to that they include Vindicator of Alpha flight into the mix too as well as The Toxic Avenger as he get’s drunk with Tony Stark. Check out the Stan Lee appearance too near the end-classic! I just watched the first two episodes and it’s pretty cool. Now I’m gonna check out the last three to see how this turns out. check out the first two here:
