In case you're interested or in case you care or even just in case you're busy and/or too lazy to look it up for yourself I'm posting the roster of expected movies/films to be released in 2014. In sequential order (that way we can tone down the anarchy for a change...)
Starting with March I will take you through December of 2014 and I'll be highlighting some prominent movies I think (keyword there is 'I'.... that's my opinion, not necessarily the 'right' opinion) that are worth noting/seeing/reading about:

Godzilla: The new trailer and brief discussion (Updated 2/27/14)

(the official second trailer, released on tuesday....to the mainstream internet)

Godzilla: The new trailer

Who is Godzilla going to protect us against in the upcoming film? I'm sooooo freaking amped. Legendary pictures confirmed he wont be going up against the military and the wiki page says this about the plot 

"An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence"—Legendary Pictures.?

A few Article I've came across and like to share (nothing special and/or in particular)

I've been doing a lot of reading on the internet (as always) and with that are things that catch my fancy.  Now I could sit here and type out an article for each and every article that I'd like to promote (and believe me that would help attract attention to this blog) but I just haven't got the time lately.... Hence the dramatic lack of updates. BUT since I'm here now I'd like to talk about a few things that might catch your fancy as well (sexual harassment unintended there......geez)

#1- The (hopefully) new and upcoming 15-second gunshot wound sealer....thing:
That's right kids!
REVMEDX has recently developed a new product called 'Xstat' and if FDA approved this could revolutionize quick treatments of wounds both on and off of the battlefield. This new proposed method could be injected and work in a little as 15-seconds, providing for temporary clottage (word? I dunno...is now!) while a person is being transported to a more optimal location. For the popular science article on the subject feel free to click here, here, or here (they're all the same link....amplified for dramatic effect). I find that to be really neat and since this is just the first product in a new era of wound treatment it will only be improved.....probably eventually becoming more compact and absorbent. Innovation rocks!

#2- IwatchStuff.com has recently published an article featuring the remake (unofficial) of ROBOCOP.. well at least 'their' version....whoever they are. The article is aptly titled:

'Our RoboCop Remake': The RoboCop Remake of the People (And So Many Rapists)

"Our RoboCop Remake is the crowd-sourced remake of the people, an even more skewed version of the 1987 Paul Verhoeven classic as retold by some 50 professional and amateur filmmakers (many from Channel 101)" 
originally released through VIMEO's website. Although I'm going to try to find a youtube version for upload purposes.
Ok....well failed to find the whole remake but here's a TASTE... Watch the video VIA IWS here
or through VIMEO's link.... HERE (please give it a watch... it is hilarious) ..ps skip to 42 minutes for some dick blastin' action

now I've got to snip-it off here.... Can't be posting the whole thing without a page break. That junk would get looooooong (giggity) so continue reading to....continue reading.

Thor Deleted Scene: It's loki doing chris evans..... NICE (spoiler?)

I found out about this on SuperHerohype.com:
(read their article here)
Empire has released a clip from the Blu-ray of Thor: The Dark World, which hits shelves February 25. In it, we're treated to an alternate version of Chris Evans' Captain America cameo but, unlike in the final film, this version features Tom Hiddleston in the outfit. That's because Evans' cameo was digitally inserted over the below footage and, on set, Hiddleston had the chance to don the suit and shield.

Awesome Sauce: fun for the whole family!


It's February so.... Time for a meme Round-up (a super-ultra-omega round-up with 1000% more memes) Pt.2 cuz there's more.....)

I decided to cut this meme round up into 2 parts. and since the blog posts these in order of their creation (IE: newest first oldest last....) you should skip this and start directly below first them come back to this and 'continue' from there.... unless you want to be a rebel.... you rebel (either way there is a S%&t ton of memes so.... yeah). Not to mention if you view this is As#-backwards order.... you can think of it as time travel, and it could be all wibbly wobbly and timey wimey..... or stupid like the prequels, depending on your position on that

AWWWW YEAH... part 2 is starting out strong

It's February: Time for a meme Round-up (a super-ultra-omega round-up with 1000% more memes)

HUZZAH! I love doing these. If I could I'd make a majority of my posts meme Round-ups, but that would get redundant and tedious very quickly (like when I have to spell check after every post because my fingers have keybaord dyslexia.... look at keyboard, I'll just leave that one alone). So I hold off and wait, silently, patiently, dark knightingly (yup that just happened).

Without further ado:

Indie support: Local love to a funny short-film

There is this guy (Paris.... he's the balding, big gutted cop with the mustache) that comes into my work who I found out recently has a little production company and he told me about this short film a month or two ago. I finally got around to watching it and it is pretty spot on. The acting is good, the production value is good and the comedy is good. I laughed a few times. Good work guys!

and... in lou of that here's a little shameless self promotion for me:

and part 2:

Random yet heartfelt

I just came across this story on facebook. It is incredible and awe-inspiring. About love and loss and how even the mortal plane cannot separate soul-mates. I wanted to share it with the world:


Grab the Kleenex! 

The night before the burial of her husband 2nd Lt. James Cathey of the United States Marine Corps, killed in Iraq, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of "Cat", and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept.
"I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it" she said.
"I think that's what he would have wanted".

-Not sure what is more honorable: Being married to this faithful wife to the end or the Marine standing next to the casket watching over them both.





I lost my grandpa last  year. He died on February 16th, 2013.He was the most influential figure in my life (along with the unsinkable Sheryl Downs) and he was also a marine. It is a bond you never shake, even if you retire from the service, and they showed up at his funeral and played TAPS for him. Even now I think of him everyday and even now writing this my heart aches because I miss him. But this is just awesome plane and simple. It's a brotherhood for life.
Normally I'll post cynical, or sarcastic or comedic things on here (along with funny and many, many more descriptives) but this garners some attention.

Some exciting new trailers kiddies! (yes I know I've been AWOL....)

Here I am. Alive. Back. Still freezing (just rockin' out to Michigan's intense winters this year) and I've got some 'soup for the soul' per se, NEW TRAILERS! woo hoooo!

So sit in, strap on tight, open those eyes clockwork-orange style and enjoy
