‘Machete’ is on the way finally!!! PLUS more PREDATORS, MINUS ARNOLD….

Remember all those rad trailers at the beginning of  Tarantino & Rodriguez’s “Grindhouse” double feature in 2007? Well I have just heard that filming for the “Machete” movie, based on the amazing fake trailer shown before the double feature is going to officially start filming in June in Austin, Texas. With Robert Rodriguez writing, directing and producing this one it’s sure to be another amazing, completely over the top film. Machete, a film about the blade- wielding antihero, features the legendary Danny Trejo as the title charcter. A Mexican ex-Federale with a knack for chopping up bad guys like sushi, masquerading as a day laborer, who’s double-crossed by a corrupt state senator.

Can someone please find Elektra bigger gun?

This is one of my all time favorite pictures of Elektra by Bill Seinkeiwicz who in my opinion is one of the best artist ever in comic book history. I even have the poster of this on my bedroom wall.  But still every time I look at it I can’t help but wonder why her gun is SO damn big?!!

This version of Elektra would not be caught dead anywhere near Ben Affleck….

Sex, Drugs, and Rock N Roll!

Well ok maybe more disco than rock.

 Alot of people consider Dazzler as one of the more lame X-men characters, but always had a soft spot for her in my heart. She first appeared in one of the best X-stories ever The Dark Phoenix Saga and then went on to star in her own graphic novel and series. I always dug the graphic novel cause for its time it really showed what a mutants life was like and not just as a super hero. She drinks, parties, over eats, and sleeps her way to the top . She even outs herself as a mutant to gain publicity for her new movie and singing career. This all doesn’t turn out so well, but you need to read the Graphic Novel to find out more.  After that she joined the X-men, lost her memory, marries Longshot and finally returns with pink short hair. 
Oh and she can’t be that lame if she was asked to be the Herald of Galactus! Good Marvel What If story by the way.

Mentally challenged magneto!!!

Here we have perhaps the greatest cartoon of all time!! The Menace of  Magneto!! This episode from the Fantastic Four series w/ Herbie the Robot  is one of my all time favorites. I own this on VHS and have watched this, shown it to friends a million times and it NEVER disappoints! There is clearly something very wrong with Magneto on this particular afternoon! The first clue is that damn ridiculous car he’s driving around!! Is that the best he could do for a vehicle?!

Are you craving a good monster movie??

I must say as far as horror movies go I am a HUGE fan of monster movies!! So any time I see a good one I want to make sure I get the word out there about it. I finally got to see “Splinter” which i somehow missed the first time around when it played in town here last year. Well last tuesday it was released on dvd and I made sure to pick it up! If I would have caught this one in the theater it would have most definaltely made it into my top 10 horror flicks of 2008 list I did a while back.

Pacman a new horror movie?

No matter what game system or new graphics come out I can say Pacman will always be one of my favorite games ever.  Never once did I  think that maybe it was the ghost guys that were innocent and Pacman was the monster.

Check out this awesome video of what might be the scariest movie out this year and see who is really the evil one.

Too bad it’s not a real trailer.

The Incredible Hulk cartoon from the 80’s!

Last week saturday I talked about how much I missed the ‘Spider-man and His Amazing Friends’ cartoon from the 80’s. Well shortly there after they added a solo ‘Incredible Hulk’ cartoon to the Marvel power hour on saturday mornings! I was so PUMPED! It was like a dream come true! This one season Hulk show was one of my all time favorites. Recently I bought a bootleg of the whole season at a comic convention and it’s just as good as it was back then. Here’s the opening to this classic cartoon. If you search around on youtube you can find the full episodes!!! 

THE BEST KUNG FU MOVIE EVER.

What? You have never seen ‘The Crippled Masters’? This movie popped into my head this morning for some strange reason and it led me on a search for it on ebay. I remember seeing this amazing flick at like midnight, on Kung Fu Theater (which  used to show every friday night in the 80’s when I lived in Milwaukee  Wisconsin) when I was a kid and being completely blown away. I guarantee you’ve never see anything quite like this before. I owned this a few years back on vhs but somehow lost it in my move to Oregon. It’s a true rare kung fu classic. One I can only imagine is loved dearly by the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Go hunt this down as soon as possible and get ready to view kung fu movies in a whole new light!!

Will there be a little shatner in the new STAR TREK MOTION PICTURE?

I am sooooo pumped about the new Star Trek movie! Only weeks away now! I have the highest hopes that it is going to blow my mind. I am super pleased with the costumes as they look VERY similar to the original series and so far I am totally into the official Star Trek prequel comic book that has been coming out. I love the fact that it follows the continuity of the movies and features Nimoy returning as an older Spock! Hell I even loved the fact that they wouldn’t let Shatner return as Kirk in this movie since he officially died in Star trek “Generations”. I am very happy with the decision of Zachary Quinto as Spock but what worries me most of all is the portrayal of James T. Kirk in this new revamp.
