Tuesday - A Day That Will Live On In Infamy... 
for no reason what so ever... 


Ever catch a scent in the air that fowls your nose causing you crinkle up your face like a rat? You sniff around trying to find the source of it roaming around your living space searching high and low, and no matter where you look, no matter where you go, that smell is there. Then you realize... that smell is you. Yeah I hate that too... glad I am someone who showers. I just wish the strangers I came into contact with did the same... cus woof! Horse apples are not bars of soap and should not be used as such.

The Book Progresses!

Day by day, bit by bit. I'm clearing a solid 2000+ words per day now while doing rewrites as I go along. I discovered a slight plot hurdle that gummed up the works for a few days. It's really hard to maintain a schedule when you realize something that's been staring you in the face for 2 months comes to light. As such, lots of retooling being done so I have doubts that I'll make my Birthday deadline, which is a bummer but you know what? For all the creative stuff I've been doing, between blogging and launching a Youtube channel... I'm cool with that! I've done a lot of great work in the last 30 days. Could I be doing more and better? Sure I could! But you don't become a pro the first day on the field. It takes time, hard work, and dedication. Maintaining a schedule of blogging every week day at least once for a month has been a huge accomplishment and I give myself a pat on the back!

Super Awesome Wolverine Clip!


Want to see some early action of everyone's favorite angry Canadian? Then take a look at the first clip from The Wolverine! Normally, since I hate spoilers of any kind and all types and that also includes advanced clips shown out of context, I usually don't watch these things. But since Wolverine's last solo adventure kind of sucked quite frankly, I gave myself permission just so I'd know if this was actually worth spending bucks on... and I am quite impressed - Take a look for yourself!



This looks far and away above and beyond better than X-men Origins: Wolverine. That movie's action sequences sucked on digital toast. I hope the 3D conversion holds up because that would be a pretty incredible sequence to see in the 3rd Dimension!

James Cameron and Alfonso Cuaron SPEAK!


Zip on over for to Screenrant, they have a fantastic video up there featuring Cameron and Cuaron talking about the state of the industry. Also you'll find an update about Cameron's Avatar Sequels as well as a bit about the long gestating Battle Angel. It's interesting hearing two directors whom have both made fantastic contributions to sci-fi films talk about the state of things. If you're science fictionally inclined and enjoy the film making process, give it a listen.


This clip has nothing to do with the above... I just loved this episode of South Park!
yeah that's about the truth of it.

Who Likes Their Toys Murderous and Creepy?

That's right ladies and gents - there is a new Chucky movie coming out! Curse of Chucky! Score! Heading straight to video, this little show actually looks like it sports some pretty good production values. It's nice to see they're still doing the practical effects doll instead of going the CGI route. Check out the teaser trailer and get a look for yourself!

Aside from the pretty damn awful third film, this is a series that's held up pretty well. There has always been a sick and twisted sense of humor to the whole thing about a doll that just so happens to be inhabited by the spirit of a deranged serial killer. Also fun is the fact that the great character actor Brad Dourif has stuck with the series going on 30 years now as the voice of everyone's favorite killer doll!

Monday 7/8

Monday...Rinse Wash Repeat

How were people's weekends? No international incidents? No major citywide destruction as you fly about smashing an evil supervillain who also happens to be the last citizen of your destroyed home planet through and into sides of buildings causing untold amounts of collateral damage? No? That's good! Then you did the weekend right!



Well a bit of a milestone passed by me over the last week and I didn't even notice it until a couple days ago. Last Wednesday just happened to be the one month anniversary of the official start of this blog! Damn does time zip by fast. It also sounds like we just started dating - "We have been going now for One Month, Three Days, 4 Hours and like 17 minutes!" I want to thank everyone for reading each day, it's been really exciting to see my daily view numbers creep up, up and up! I've gotten readers from Russia, the UK, Ireland, Australia, the Netherlands, Brazil, Chile, and last but not least Germany, Hungary, and Denmark - My People! Hello extended family that doesn't know me! It's a pretty damn great feeling knowing your weird random thoughts and musings are being enjoyed by people all over the world...even if it's really like 20-30 people...it still counts! Keep reading, and I'll keep writing! ONWARDS!!!!




Awesome Movie Trailer!

I dig movies; can't you tell? I especially love the ones with a little moral message tossed into the fray of a sci-fi epic, or grisly horror movie. Snowpiercer looks to be one such movie. Check out the trailer for yourself:

Looks pretty decent, a bit on the nose using rail transportation as a means to highlight class warfare but could be entertaining. I dig the cast, I spotted John Hurt in there, Tilda Swinton is always awesome and Chris Evans, like in Sunshine is seemingly at his best when he's bearded. Did you see Sunshine? Check it out if you haven't, worth the time. Also as someone that frequently took the Amtrak from Ann Arbor to Chicago; I understand the need to break out of your compartment! NEXT!



More From Comic Con! 


The Hollywood studios that own Comic Con now have disclosed the schedule of movie panels. Interesting attendees include the new Godzilla, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I Frankenstein, Seventh Son, and Chris Hardwick of The Nerdist, all will have a presence at the Con in some fashion. I hope that this means we'll be getting some first real footage out of Godzilla, and Captain America 2. SO when the con gets rolling next week, get ready for a steady stream of trailers and juicy new details! - I really tried to find an "official" pic of Godzilla for this post but none are to be found, even the rumored ones have been taken down by Legendary Pictures so lets hope we get our first official view of the big guy soon! - Still, gotta dig the updated look for Captain America!


Special Feature News!
Check in on Into the 3rd Dimension while you're reading, I have my review for the 3D Blu-ray of Jurassic Park up for your enjoyment! It's big and lots of fun, and if you have a 3D TV, worth the investment!

What? You want more from me? Well, I just so happened to have finished my latest Trailer mashup! That's right ladies and gents and little germs, I bring you Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie Epic Trailer!
