IMPORTANT NEWS (at least in my world)

Last night my best buddy Derek proposed to his girlfriend Dana and SHE SAID YES! I cannot, at least in words, express how excited I am about this. Here is a decent comparison though:

If them getting engaged was the N-64 and Nathan and I were the kid than that is about it. Either way it is wonderful news because they are adorable together. Like two puzzle pieces or spaghetti and meatballs...... maybe lamb and tunafish? (big daddy reference anybody?)

I wish them a lifetime of happiness and a long and fruitful experience. HUZZAH TO THEM I SAY!

Christopher Nolan in the hizzy: Interstellar trailer

The new Interstellar trailer dropped and I still am trying to process it. I know it is about huuuuuge travel and my buddy Jeff mentioned that the ship is using an alcubierre drive which I'm also trying to process. I digress though.... (Post #209)

and for those who care: Edge of Tomorrow has a new trailer too. Click continue reading to view that one

On demand Natural Hallucination: WARNING....not intense but still interesting

I just did this so I know it works. It wasn't anything like a psycadelic trip AT ALL but it is a neat optical illusion, just like staring at an american flag then instantly looking at blank paper to see your vision produce a negative version for a few seconds. EITHER WAY.... do what this video says.

Continue reading to see the actual video, this is just a reference picture. although it will cause optical illusions too.

Marvel Cinematic Universe Timeline (made Easy...now with Pictures)

Ever since the beginning of phase one (i'm talking....post Iron Man 2 specifically.....when the universe idea was just being booted..) people have been trying to keep the chronology in order as far as cannon/history/lore of the movies go. I've seen pages, and text pages and even some charts/graphs with images and easte-eggs and what not, but today I came across a website that had a pretty sweet and tangible graphic that explains about the MCU (aka....marvel cinematic universe) up until the present.

THIS IS NOT THE IMAGE!!!!!!

I just want to stress this enough. The above image IS NOT what I am talking about. For some reason I can't link the images on this blog so you've got to visit THIS PAGE HERE to actually view what I am talking about.

ENJOY (and you're welcome......btw THANKS internet for making a concise and detailed infographic)

COMIC CON!!!

Today was the annual MOTOR CITY COMIC CON. This year I went with my girlfriend Nancy, my buddy Jeff, my best buddy Nathan, My best buddy Derek and his girlfriend Dana. It was an awesome event. Filled with walking, energy drinks, talks of comics and things of nerdy natures, more walking, comics, peeing, comics, more walking, nancy shaking Ernie Hudson's hand and me peeing with Khal Drogo. I didn't take any pictures this year but you bet you're bottom dollar I'm going to post some pics from other cons. 

Some notable guests include: Chris Claremont, Hershel and Shane from THE WALKING DEAD, Tommy the Green Ranger, The Nasty boys, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, William Shatner, Ernie Hudson, Khal Drogo, that girl from SONS OF ANARCHY and many more that I can't recall.

OH MY!

Baloo the bear, Leo the lion, and Shere Khan the tiger were found locked in a basement undernourished and abused.

The trio were originally owned by a drug dealer who didn't  properly care for them, leading to neglect and poor health.

In 2001, Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary, a nonprofit that cares for animals in need, came to the rescue, and took them to Locust Grove, Georgia, where they were treated for injuries.

BILL NYE!

It's that Picture I was talking about

Man..... I'm on a posting rampage. First I go MIA (Sorry again you 3 people who read this) for a month then I come back (out of the blue I might add) and now I'm on my 3rd post in less than 2 hrs. NICE!

Now I am here to type to you (because I cannot speak of 'talk' in the written medium.... having a 'chat' seemed out of place. Sorry for the initial confusion) about a serious topic. YESTERDAY THE BAT MOBILE WAS TEASED!!! OMG OMG OMG.... Look at that drap. I mean c'mon! I'm dying to know if that is Canvas or maybe a material with a super high thread count..... PSYCHE! That Batmobile under it is looking PRIT-TEA fine there if I do say so myself (which I was literally doing). If you continue reading this delightful spoiler get's even more intense! Complete with an unveiling and a surprise addition of one Affleckedly-Caped-Crusader (but shhhhhh.... that part is a BIGGG surprise)

This just in: Channing Tatum to kinetically charge his next striptease

When Ben Affleck was cast as Batman, I became nervous. When Jesse Eisenberg was cast a Lex Luther, I was strangely O.k. with it (what? I can see him playing a young lex). But the news that came out of left field, a month ago as a rumor, has now become reality..... CHANNING TATUM IS GAMBIT

I confirmation came at a totally random time too. I mean I was just perusing the articles on my normal news sites (SHH, IWS, Geekologie) and 1st I come across the unveiled new BATMOBILE (with surprise bonus -Affleck-finally-suiting-up-action..... More on that later BTW)  which looks really amazing then I see the above picture and I'm taken aghast.

I still don't know how I feel about this one..... On one hand I like Channing Tatum's work and I think he could pull it off...... Then on the other hand I'm thinking this is Topher Grace as Venom but backwards, this was casting Heath Ledger as the joker (although I am proudly wrong about that one.... I will admit) this is like making Sandman float away in a cloud of forgiveness.

Here's what SuperHeroHypes's Article had to say (by the way you can click that link.....in case you didn't know):

Following the reveal this morning that Channing Tatum will play the X-Men character Gambit, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that he will in fact debut in 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse right before appearing in his own solo spin-off film.
Though no writer or director have been attached to the project, it's possible that "Gambit" could be the "Untitled FOX Marvel Movie" which is currently set for release on July 18, 2018. Check back for more information on the project as we learn it. What do you think of Tatum's casting as Gambit?

Real Talk....

I just realized that I HAVEN'T posted ANYTHING the ENTIRE month of April....... wow man, I'm slacking. Then again it is kind of hard sometimes (I swear I'm fending off minor depression) and I get side tracked. Right now I'm going practical in life as opposed to comfortable..... I gotta take care of my finances until I get a new car before I can worry about having fun in life these days.

I'm back and this is how I show it: Chris Columboe's SHIP WAS found....... after 500 years!

I won't even get started on the bullshit-star-spangled story of Christopher Columbus and his journey of discovering the 'new world' and how historically INACCURATE it is (do your research and draw your own conclusion) but I will say this: They found the Santa Maria after 500 years. There you have it..... that's the whole article summed up after the colon.

HOWEVER..... If, by chance, you happen to be interested in the details of this discovery you may want to continue to read. If you continue to read then you will be more informed than the 'summed up' reader, although truthfully you both still reach the same conclusion.

I'm not dead (in case you care[d]) but here's a few things going on....

It's been a few weeks, I know (and I'm sorry), and for the 3 people that read this thing that means there's a gap in a few of the areas in your life.... It's o.k., I'm o.k., this have just been hectic. I've been on the job hunt (because adsense don't pay no bills.....or anything at the moment), I've been building a new destop computer (which is complete now and is the one I'm currently typing this blog from....sorry iMAC), been playing some vidya games etc.... I also had to catch up on muh T.V. shows and started getting in shape again (pssh who does that) so my time is scattered and A LOT has been going on in the world of movies, games, science, life and drugs. Movie trailers will get their own blog post (so look out for that!), science will get its own post, a MEME round-up should be coming soon, and also a random arse news-article post. This is a meta post-post. Where I explain myself and my leave of absence for the three of you! and also post a cool new picture (pre-production....way before any CGI is added) of what ultron and scarlett witch and Quicksilver will be looking like. But you gotta continue reading for that hot commodity.... that's how I getcha!

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

I posted an article on Tuesday talking about the new Godzilla trailer (feature below this little synopsis)
and the possibilities in it. WELL..... since then between the internet gossip, the gossip between my friends and I, and the gossip from this IO9.com page (<-----that's the direct link) I've got a few more tidbits to cover.

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

Enjoy

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!

2. The Superbowl teaser for Transformers: Age of Extinction (I know..... I'm surprised too)
3. The new 'Amazing Spider-man 2' extended trailer (sooo badass BTW)
and 4. This random awesome superbowl trailer that deserves to be a superhero movie

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