Festivals and Shows.

Here is the list of stuff that I have every intention of attending this year.

• Horrorfind Weekend: March 28-March 30. Baltimore, MD (there is going to be another HF weekend in August - I will probably go to that one instead).
• Buffalo Niagara International Film Festival: March 24-March 29 (I am part of the staff for this one).
• Rue Morgue Festival of Fear: August 22-August 24. Toronto.
• Rotten Jacks Creep Show: September 20.
• Eerie Horror Fest: October 9-October 12. Erie, PA.
• After Dark Film Festival: October 19-October 25. Toronto.

Pwned.

Upcoming Convention Schedule

I know Brian and Tom asked about these, so I figured I'd post the dates for as many game conventions as I'm aware of this year, as well as which ones I'm planning on attending. Feel free to post any other events that should be included:

• SimCon: March 27 - March 30. I've signed up to run two events on that Saturday.
• UBCon: April 11-13. I'm planning on running two events here. We'll see how well attended they are.
• Western New York Savages: April 19. This is being put together by some guys out of Rochester and being held at SUNY Geneseo. Not sure yet how good the turn-out will be, but we'll see.
• Origins: June 25 - June 29. Can't go to this one; my sister's getting married that weekend ... more's the pity.
• GenCon: August 14 - 17. The big one; wouldn't miss this for the world!
• Con on the Cob: October 2 - 5. Another one I wouldn't miss for anything; just too damn much fun.

More shows as I find out about them. I know that Rod mentioned a date for the Creep Show this year, but I don't remember it off-hand. I'm sure he'll put it up soon ...

It's here ...

It's finally here ...



God help me, I believe ...

TV Tropes is a web site dedicated to cataloging the various tropes and clichés present in most modern media. I lost about an hour to it today. Be warned, it's a real time sink.

How to handle telemarketers.

It's almost time ...

... and don't forget to wear your masks!

I saw this, and I giggled like a schoolgirl on christams morning...

Zombie crime drama situation romantic comedy?

A show that almost got picked up for this season.

The "Man" continues to oppress

This is about Troma and how they are seemingly blacklisted all over the industry.

If there is any hope for an escape from movies like fantastic 4 and malibu's most wanted, the indie studios are the way out.

Lloyd is still my hero and personal saviour.

You Fuckers,
Rod

This is kinda like my office ...

It also makes me hella thankful for the Pinnacle forums ...

Weird coincidences abound ...

Strange that this vid should appear just before I head out of town tomorrow ... ;)

Frankenstein never scared me.

Free advice for Britney

Well, it looks like Britney Spears is finally going to become the footnote of musical history she was destined to be. If you didn't see it, she attempted a comeback performance at the VMAs the other night -- and it was the singing and dancing equivalent of a Miss Teen USA contestant explaining geography.

So as a free bit of advice for Britney (one she should have taken long ago), I offer this: if you can't sing worth a shit, this obvious fact can't be covered up by simply dry humping your fellow dancers for 5 minutes in lieu of any actual talent. You at least have to make the train wreck entertaining to watch, or something more like this...

(It may be the musical equivalent of a Don Johnson single, but at least it's watchable.)

Up The Irons!

"To tie in with forthcoming 2008 releases on DVD of the classic 'LIVE AFTER DEATH' and 'MAIDEN ENGLAND' concert videos (more details coming soon) this tour, aptly entitled 'SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME', will revisit the band's history by focusing almost entirely on the 80's in both choice of songs played and the stage set, which will be based around the legendary Egyptian Production of the 1984-85 'Powerslave Tour'. This will arguably be the most elaborate and spectacular show the band have ever presented, and will include some key elements of their Somewhere In Time tour of 1986/7, such as the Cyborg Eddie."

For those that know me, this is really exciting for me and I plan on seeing this show if it comes even remotely near Buffalo. This'll probably be the only chance I get at coming close to seeing the shows that I missed growing up.

Ok Dan, step up!

And its still funny!

Your moment of Zen.

Is she even speaking English?

But hey, at least she really cares about The Iraq.

chocolate nun?

clicky!!

Darth Vader being rude.

There's something kinda frightening about this ...

... and it's the fact that there's someone else out there who thinks like Rod ...

Somebody proposed a design for a rocket propelled chainsaw.

The ideas got legs ... but your targets won't ...

Haiti UFO video

This is getting a lot of attention on the net. It is IMO the BEST fake ufo vid I've ever seen. Its a really nice piece of cgi work.

Anybody want to go to a show?

Video Games Live is a concert tour where a full orchestra plays sounds and songs from your favorite video games. They're coming to Kleinhan's October 14th, tickets go on sale August 15th.

See below for a taste:

Bacon Bars

You be the judge.

Walk it out TGIF

Amazing how these ladies from some 60's variety show synch up to the beat

Boot to the head

One of my favorite all time radio sketches that used to play on the Dr Demento radio show. They anime'tized it.

New Muy Thai movie

Getting ridiculously good reviews overseas. Click on the trailer link. Looks like Ong Bak but with a real story

Someone has been listening to Rod's prayers ...

... it's the Living Dead Girlz, a San Francisco based dance group. You-Tubage below...

1-18-08

If any of you went to see Transformers then you probably saw the trailer for an untitled J.J. Abrams movie. I don't know if it'll be good but the trailer is killer. The viral marketing campaign begins at www.1-18-08.com

I read in a few places that the entire movie is filmed through handheld cameras. Dunno. Gimmick or good movie? We'll have to wait and see. As someone on the net stated: "Like the Blair Witch Project. But good. And less snot." ;)

Payback for Samwell ...

It rubs the lotion on it's skin...

Death metal. bitches.

Thundercats outtakes

If you've never heard these, and you were a Thundercats fan, you really owe it to yourself to check these out. Very NSFW, but funny as hell.

This is for my own reference, really.

It's The Mouse And His Child, a slightly bizarre, but beautiful, animated film based on the book of the same name. I used to watch this repeatedly when I was a kid, since it was in heavy rotation on HBO, even though it was pretty scary. Check out the Wikipedia synopsis for just a taste.

New Russian movie called Mongol

This blog must be cleansed in fire...

Hopefully this can heal some of the damage that Rod's love of all things ass has wrought.

And the hits just keep coming

More early '80's goodness. Where's Dan when you need him?? :D

Here is another one for Tom.

I have found your new Theme Song...

EDIT: Deleted to preserve what is left of our remaining sanity. If you really want to see it, Google for "What What (In The Butt)". And may God have mercy on your eternal soul.

This one's for Tom ....

'Cause no one else is old enough to remember this forgotten gem.

Ooo, this is interesting ...

Dario Argento's is finishing work on this next movie, the third in his Mother's Trilogy. Check out the shaky cam trailer below:



Have to keep an eye out for this ...

Rod's other job...

now we know what Rod's been doing in the off time...

DIABEEETUS

I figure you guys would...

...like to see some of the stuff I have been working on. See the reasons I have been away for the last month or more.

I took all of the pictures myself, and these are all straight from the camera with no editing except resizing for upload. They need some color correcting and some pixel bumping, but that is taking a litle bit o' time

Hey Tom... RAISE YOUR HANDS |,,|, ,|..|

And so passes another of the greats

Don "Mr. Wizard" Herbert dies at 89.

Some of you young scamps would be too young to remember him, but I used to be glued to the set every time he was on. Some of the science was a bit dodgy at times, but he did make learning interesting and fun, and was a big influence on me.

Godspeed, Don.

Speaking of stuff that needs to be here ...

If you're like me and love bad movies, you were probably a big fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000. And if you weren't, get the fuck out my house ... :) Well, Mike Nelson is back with a similar project called Rifftrax. It's been around for a while, but I decided to try them out last night with their track for Star Wars: Episode I.

Hooo boy. It is, in a word, glorious! I can't recommend it enough. There are some terrific gags on there, and they do a great job of helping you set it up.

5 stars. Joe Bob sez, "Check it out."

Jotun vs. The Monkeys

For all you Heroscapers out there...

Because this should have been here a long time ago...

Creator of Cap'n Crunch dies

Pamela Low, the creator of the "covering" of Cap'n Crunch, has died, taking to her grave her unreasoning hatred of young children's soft upper palate.

CHUCK

Dexter

I just watched the first episode of Dexter (it is now 4:20am)

This could possibly be the greatest TV show ever. EVER.

The show speaks to me... I dont know if I should be worried, or if the authorities should be worried.

happy friday!!

The Llama Song

From the "No Shit" File

David Hyde Pierce Officially Comes Out.

Wow. What a shocker. I haven't been this surprised since Rob Halford.

Gaming Table of the Future

This is about the coolest damn thing I've ever seen. Its strange when you see or read about this kind of stuff in science fiction and then it becomes reality.

Charles Nelson Reilly dead at 76

Former star of Lidsville and The Hollywood Squares, Charles Nelson Reilly dead at 76. The center square won't be the same without you. Godspeed.

The Most Sacrilegious Game Ever

Found on Greg Costikyan's Blog, of all places:

Bible Fight

I checked out the Con on the cob thing

I might be interested in going. I like all of that talk about the booze and parties.

Are you guys going? I think I could use a few days of doing nothing but drinking beer and being a disruption to serious DnD players.

them: "my elf opens the chest"
me: "your elf *hic* is a big fag..."
them: "come on, this is a serious game *whine*"
me: "you know how I know your *hic* gay...?"

heh
