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)

Moe Videos (pun intended): All the Mcbain cuts edited into a 'movie'

In case you grew up watching the simpsons.....this might interest you!
Youtube user RJpeel3 decided to edit together ALL the Mcbain cutaways from various episodes of the simpsons into one big (and when I say big I mean.......under 4 minutes, sorry for the hype) short film:

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!

On the chopping block I've got:
1. The new 'Captain America: The winter Soldier' trailer
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

Free education and now this: Free books online!

Every once in a while I'll repost my old entry about websites that offer free courses in education (for most things) but today I came across a website that has links to a BUNCH of websites that host free online copies (with a myriad of literature ranging from Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Shakespeare and many many many more)

So without further ado here it is

In other news: Penis Pumps...... A 'rising' cost in government spending (pun intended)

(A link to the HUFFINGTON POST's Article where I learned of this originally)


First off: I'm going to be started a new Segment: 'In other news' where I report on things that are irrelevant or asinine in nature.

So Apparently the government spends A LOT  (emphasis on a lot) on Penis Pumps.... Who would've thought... I know... But the truth is stranger than fiction (usually the case...am I right?) and between 2006 and 2011 an estimated $172 million has been spent by our government in providing them (I guess they're a super-effective treatment for E.D. Erectile Dysfunction). Since this belongs in the category of 'Benign Government spending' I figured I'd report on it, make my opinion known and share both with you in an effort to encourage you to read the source article, laugh and draw conclusions to share with others....

The report by the inspector general for the Department of Health and Human Services said Medicare, the government health insurance system for seniors, paid nearly 474,000 claims for vacuum erection systems, or VES, totaling about $172.4 million from 2006 to 2011. Yearly claims for the devices nearly doubled from $20.6 million in 2006 to $38.6 million in 2011.
According to the Mayo Clinic, penis pumps are one of a few treatment options for erectile dysfunction.
Government waste is a major issue in budget talks in the U.S. capital as lawmakers try to reach agreement on a $1 trillion spending bill.

Not to mention, this also provides me the opportunity to showcase an informative picture of a penis pump (intended to be for educational purposes not just crude humor)

No Necessarily a MEME Round-up (but these makes me laugh still)...[ ALSO... post 200!!! (I didn't even notice, this was added post-post) ]

(so true by the way...... Especially with 'Fight Club')

So I'm not posting a MEME round-up per se but the theme, nontheless, is very similar. Funny pictures, hilarious captions and/or thought provoking stupidity ensue! Continue reading for some chuckles....

How Romantic: Poignant props pertaining to perpetual progressive love

On Jarrid’s blog post titled, “I’m Dating Someone Even Thought I’m Married,” he writes: “I have a confession to make. I’m dating someone even though I’m married.

When it comes to any relationship, communication and the action of constant pursuit is key. Nobody wants to be with someone who doesn’t want to pursue them whole-heartedly.
I encourage you to date your spouse, pursue them whole-heartedly, and understand that dating shouldn’t end just because you said, “I do.”
- Jarrid Wilson”

James Downs: Bartender Supereoso

My brother just texted me a link to an article about him on drinkcode.wordpress.com. It is nice that he is getting some SF recognition. The man is a genius with alcohol (and arguably always has been) and invented an official unofficial drink for Anchorman 2 "my best friend baxter"

Though he’s been here for just four months, James already talks like an old soul San Francisco drinks maven, which we’re convinced means either:1) he was destined to find his way to our drinks-splashed city, or2) he’s a really quick study of everything we want in a bartender.Given that the guy fairly oozes authenticity, it’s unlikely he’s just a quick study in the right clothes (which, we have to say, are snappy).  We spent some time with James to get to the bottom of his cocktail savvy, discovering along the way that he’s got some mighty cool creds.

MEME Round-up: 2014 and Snowmageddon

"big as a bridge"

2014's first edition of 'MEME Round-up' is now underway baby

Back from HIATUS (not to be confused to haiti)

The holidays came and went. The Doctor Who X-mas special was amazing. I crashed my car (it's totaled) and 2014 is in full swing. I'm officially back now so updates will happen!

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D to return (as if you didn't expect this one....)

Again.... doing my daily perusing of movie/entertainment updates/news/information/what-ever-you-call-it I came across yet another interesting tid-bit that I'd like to share (I've had a lot of freetime today... it is X-mas EVE after all so NO WORK TODAY! woohoo) and it comes in the snowy christmas form of pretty much nothing!

Now since I did such a good job building up the anticipation I will continue.
ABC and Marvel have released a little teaser image to remind us that January 7th you can watch the 11th episode of the first season of this witty little drama from Joss Whedon (see how I shamelessly plugged it as well....BOOYA!)
