  • Universal Foodie Presents: “Hot Dogs: How is they made?”

    I don’t know about you, but I often find myself thinking about how hot dogs are made. At the grocery store, biking through traffic, at the bar and even when making love. The mystery behind this processed meat has piqued my interest for some time now and today, I just couldn’t take it anymore – the curiosity was KILLING me!!

    Luckily I was able to find a very helpful video, narrated by an enthusiastic gentleman and backed with some decent beats. What follows is visual ecstacy:

    A japanese boy once accidently ate 53 3/4.

  • This is why Wings are > The Beatles

    Here’s a pretty rad video to go with Wings’ classic “Magneto & Titanium Man” using footage from several Marvel television shows:

    I love Wings, and the last few weeks have brought out my latent love for Spider-Man. It’s absolutely amazing that Paul and Co. sat down and wrote a love song (loosely) from Spidey’s point of view. And kudos to whoever assembled this fantastic video – you are my flavor-of-the-week!

  • Happy Birthday Mister Peter Saturday!

    Congratulations for not dying in 2008!

  • Blind Guardian: the best fantasy metal band ever!!

    Just in case you don’t know who this band is already check them out. I have been surprised to find out how many people actually have never heard them before. Blind Guardian has been around since the 80’s and this track “Otherland” from their latest album is one of my favorite tracks. Take a listen to power metal at it’s Best.

  • Rambo: not just another Joe!

    I almost forgot about the totally rad Rambo action figure line and the cartoon from the 80’s! Check out this comercial for the Rambo toys. Rambo and ninjas? Sounds like a winning combination to me…

    I don’t care what anyone says either the last “Rambo” movie RULED!!

  • Star trek: COUNTDOWN the official movie prequel!!

    Hey i recently picked up Star Trek: Countdown comic book by IDW Publishing which is the official prequel to the upcoming J.J. Abrams film that has got people amped up so high they’re flying in circles at warp speed 20! I highly recommend checking this book out if you just can’t wait for your Trek fix until May of this year. Get the lowdown on Nero (the films Romulan villian who travels back in time to kill James T. Kirk- yeah good luck Nero on that one!) and Spock who now serves as ambassador for the Romulans. He is trying to warn them of a possible supernova that will threaten their very existence. Against the better wishes of the Romulans Spock is able get a group (Nero’s mining crew) together to go on a rogue mission to try and bring the Romulan isotope Decalithium to Vulcan where is can be processed to form a black hole that could possibly consume the supernova. The best thing about this story is who shows up on the books last page-and i can’t reveal it here. You will just have to check it out for yourself! With that said i hope the movie holds some similar surprises! Great art makes this comic a must have and I can’t wait for issue 2! Go get this ASAP!

  • BATMAN & Boner from growing pains = AWESOME!!

    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…

  • Alan Moore is fucking insane. But it’s okay.

    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.

  • Back Issue Gold Presents: Rock ‘N’ Roll Comics #21 PRINCE

    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
