Hard Rock Zombies

This is the only "you tube" clip I could find... but I watched this movie last night. Netflix, I didnt buy it.

I only have one thing to tell you... Eva Braun is a zombie werewolf in California in 1985 !?!?!

Jet Li in The Mummy 3

I dug the Mummy flicks in a Saturday matinee way, so I'm sorta stoked about this. Could be a lot of fun. The article mentions both Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. Groovy.

SCI FI Drive-In

The Sci Fi channel launched a free streaming movie site called Sci Fi Drive-In. They're all old flicks but they have some classics like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Metropolis along with some more obscure stuff.
Sci Fi Drive-In

Whoa. This looks very promising.



Heh, heh; Violence of the Lambs, indeed.

They can rebuild him...sort of

Monkey Head Transplant!!

Didn't I run this game before?

New movie coming out in March from the guys who did the Saw movies. Plot line is very similar to something I ran in my first Cthulhu campaign ... which resulted in one exploded house and an entire party on the run from the law. Good times, good times ...

Glee!

Top Shelf comics has announced LXG 3 to be released in 2008. This is not the same as The Black Dossier, which is another companion volume coming out from DC Comics, but an entirely new story.

I'm as giddy as a schoolboy ...

DVD's have officially Jumped the Shark

Bad enough that Sledge Hammer is available on DVD, but coming out tomorrow is both Gymkata and Looker ... at least with Looker you can get tits in the afternoon any time you want ...

You know how I know you're gay ...

... you listen to any of the bands on this list.

Strangely enough, Asia is noticeably absent ...

Five Geek Social Fallacies

I mentioned the Five Geek Social Fallacies in conversation with John and Tom earlier tonight, and I wanted to share with everyone. See how many people you know who have suffered under one or more of these delusions ...

College students and stoners are in mourning everywhere

Because the inventor of Cup O' Noodles has died. I wonder if he'll be cremated, then stored in one of those little styrofoam cups ...

Tuesday, January 02, 2007

And people wonder why I'm not a Trek fan ...



The song in this video is by Voltaire, who was also responsible for The Vampire Club, which some of you might remember from my con road trip mix ... Good times, good times...

The Seventh Seal Has Been Broken

Could go either way but I'm extremely happy about this.

Saddam is dead

Right around 11pm (our time) on December 29th, or about 6am on the 30th in Iraq. They showed Hussein being led to the gallows and the noose being placed on his neck, but Iraqi state TV froze the picture before the actual hanging.

The Taliban and Al Qaeda are already asserting that the Jihad against the United States and it's allies will intensify. Even though he was found guilty and sentanced to death by a court comprised of Iraqi's.

So, I was watching CNN at 3 in the morning... a car bomb was set off in a parking garage at a Madrid airport. Reps from the airport said they got a warning call 45 minutes before the bomb was detinated.

They said this is the M.O. of Baathist separatists. Saddam was the leader of the Baath Party... Coincedence?

The reason why I hate Thanksgiving

A night-time prayer from your Uncle Bill ...

Thanks for the wild turkey and
the passenger pigeons, destined
to be shit out through wholesome
American guts.

Thanks for a continent to despoil
and poison.

Thanks for Indians to provide a
modicum of challenge and
danger.

Thanks for vast herds of bison to
kill and skin leaving the
carcasses to rot.

Thanks for bounties on wolves
and coyotes.

Thanks for the American dream,
To vulgarize and to falsify until
the bare lies shine through.

Thanks for the KKK.

For nigger-killin' lawmen,
feelin' their notches.

For decent church-goin' women,
with their mean, pinched, bitter,
evil faces.

Thanks for "Kill a Queer for
Christ" stickers.

Thanks for laboratory AIDS.

Thanks for Prohibition and the
war against drugs.

Thanks for a country where
nobody's allowed to mind their
own business.

Thanks for a nation of finks.

Yes, thanks for all the
memories-- all right let's see
your arms!

You always were a headache and
you always were a bore.

Thanks for the last and greatest
betrayal of the last and greatest
of human dreams.

Welcoming the Holidays

Organized Chaos, Inc.

Ok here's the link for Mount and Blade, the shareware game I can't shut up about. You have to stick with the game until you get on a horse in a big battle. www.taleworlds.com They have a very cool LOTR mod and the Story mod is very good as well.

Man... I think I have to finally give up on them.

His voice is gone, and without the growl... there is nothing left. Load and Reload had a couple of good moments (there were 4 or 5 good songs spread over those 2 albums), St. Anger was horrible - and if this is any indication it will be more of the same Bob Rock influenced shit. I held out a glimmer of hope because Rick Rubin is producing the next album. But, I think the king is dead...

This brought a tear to my eye

This is a bunch of Japanese chicks watching 'Ringu'


I just want to reiterate that she WILL be mine!




This one too...

Happy Halloween!

This one's for Mel, courtesy of Neil Gaiman's blog ...

Should we start up a collection now?

The guys who built the Ultimate Game Table are planning on putting it up for auction on eBay on November 12. How cool would this be? It's fairly mighty though, and we could never have more than 7 players around it at a time, but fuck it looks cool!

Frank Miller's 300 Teaser trailer live!

The official web page for Frank Miller's 300 has the teaser trailer for this new film posted. It's currently listed as a March 2007 release, so we'll have to see how that goes ...

Like I don't have enough addictions ...

Here's a group from NYC that's trying to start Jedi sparring leagues using replica lightsabers. I wonder if I can write off a light saber as "exercise equipment ..."

DM of the Rings

Oh good Lord this is funny. A usually cliché idea (what if Lord of the Rings was run like a game of D&D) which winds up with some terrific jokes. Joe Bob says, "Check it out."

Goliath Airship

I heart Legos



Me, I'd have to do a Savage game with it somehow. ;)

I call dibs!!!

WotC has again plundered the TSR vault, this time with an update to the original Ravenloft module. God knows how many times we've played this one. It was an instant classic at the time, and I've been wanting to run it for a long time now.

"Mine, mine, mine!!!" :D

Physics of Superheroes 1 - Death of Gwen Stacy


A wonderful little video about physics and comic books. There's a few other clips on YouTube, but this is the funniest one. Check it out.

Cthulhu in 2007

A Cthulhu movie with a budget. Hard to tell from the trailer, but it might be cool.

A man after my own ... heart

Wow. Talk about a flash-back. The guy over at Scar Stuff has a collection of Halloween-themed recordings, including a ton of old Vincent Price recordings from the 70's. I used to get these albums from the local library all the time, and went a long way to making me a horror fan.
