RIP STAN WINSTON

The Modern Day Ray Harryhausen.

Creator of the Terminator, Predator, Alien Queen and involved in dozens of special effects movies, most recently Iron Man. I got a book highlighting his career for Xmas last year. Thanks Joe for the book and thanks Stan for making some of the most iconic figures in sci-fi and horror film in the last 30 years.

Um.. wha?

Diet Coke with Bacon.

 

house cleaning

I just deleted 3 blogs I was working on. Nothing important.. just random stuff I was working on and now deem insignificant, uninteresting to anyone but me or pure drivel.

The new Fat Free shirts are on the way!   I’m actually getting excited about the show now. :D ROCK AND PIGS! YEAH!

 

..cool stuff, rant and babble

The Gibson Robot SG now comes in Metallic Green.. DROOL..

They are remaking Robocop?  WTF? Isnt it bad enough they shit on Frank Millers’ sequels and made a shittier TV show?

I have spoiled a BDay present by finding THIS. I dont care if the movie sucks or not.. its Kevin Smith.. and he has a good track record for me… and stars Seth Rogen.. who is pretty funny.. ok I predict the movie wont suck as bad as Jersey Girl). While I’m at it.. This always makes me smile a bit, too.

 

Not so Green

Today I found Seven Things You Thought You Could Recycle… but Can’t.

Normally I dont care but my county (in MD) is recycle happy so I need to keep up with this stuff.

Thankfully, I drink Soy Milk and have alot of frozen food packages around I can toss out without issue now.

I weep. or not.

I should have learned by now not to put my hopes up too high.

I speak not of Indy 4.. no sirs and ladies, I speak of the Venture Brothers Season premiere.

*POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD.. but who cares.. fans have probably seen it by now*

It left me flat and kind of cold.

The animation seemed off. #21 and #24 looked odder than usual. I like the idea of more backstory of the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend. It didnt need a whole episode. Heck It could have been integrated over a few episodes as they went along.

#21 worked with the Monarch under Phantom Limb? That didnt seem right.

There are WAY too many coincidences running through the show.  The “College Gang” episode was funny.. but its almost a crutch now.

Mostly.. I miss the Venture Bros. Brock! Hank! Dean! Rusty! I even miss Orpheus.. and Trianna (ah.. cute cartoon girls never seem to get old).

I realized that the ever-expanding cast (from last season) and the big character sheet for this year will make it bigger.

This episode probably (and hopefully) gets a few things out of the way and setting up some new episodic content.

GO TEAM VENTURE!

 

Wii dont have a problem

A fun weekend!

M’s Bday was alot of fun.. except for our trip to Costco. Where people turn into mindless animals.

While at costco, I did in fact find a Wii! Lucky me, you say? No. This is actually my 3rd Wii find in a 18 months. (picked up for my bud, superlizard)
My first one I stumbled on when I was actually looking to buy the Halo 3 360. Resold on ebay.

The second one I grabbed Xmas Eve walking into a Best Buy. The guy at the door simply handed me a paper “Wii coupon #24″. Sits under the TV now.

So why are so many people have trouble getting Wiis?

Am I just the king of Wii-hunting? Not that I really tried to get one to begin with.. they just keep coming my way.
