Pride and Prejudice Zombies Coming At Ya February 2016.

1:10:00 PM
Pretty much anything gets zombified now-a-days right?

All you literature and zombie buffs are going to love this! Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is being zombified and will be hitting theaters February 2016.Well it's actually an adaptation from Seth Grahame-Smith’s 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' parody from 2009. It's a mashup combining Jane Austen's classic novel (1813) and well... ZOMBIES. It will be directed by Burr Steers. 

 Pride and Prejudice and Zombies will star Lily James as Elizabeth, Bella Heathcote as Jane, Ellie Bamber as Lydia, Millie Brady as Mary, Suki Waterhouse and more.   


The book is about a woman’s journey towards love and then BOOM! There's an outbreak of a deadly virus that turns the undead into vicious killers! Sounds dreamy doesn't it? I'm really looking forward to this. I feel like it's going to be awesome and has a great cast. 

 What do you guys think?

Throwback - New York Comic Con Past.

11:38:00 AM
Who's excited for Comic Con? 

Due to some inconveniences, I won't be able to attend San Diego Comic Con (damn you!) But my heart belong to New York anyways and I can't wait for Press Registration to open up for New York Comic Con. My friends over at Reed Pop are killing the game. October is going to be a GREAT month!

Being that it's Throwback Thursday and all, I thought I'd provide you with some cool images I took at New York Comic Con probably about 4 years ago (2011 I believe). Enjoy!

X Files Returns On Fox!

11:21:00 AM
Who Else Thinks Scully is Hot? 

Mulder + Scully + UFO = FUCK YEAH! 

X-Files was an epic show that ended over 13 years ago. We've all been graced with the news that it's coming back to Fox as a six-episode limited series starring original cast members David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. The show won 16 Emmy Awards and was nominated 62 times over nine seasons. It also had a spin-off, comics book, and who can forget the movie?! It also has an 8.8 rating on IMDB which for a show that ran that long ain't too shabby. 

I think we can thank Netflix's for all these revivals in a way. As I mentioned in an post I wrote a while back, people miss old TV shows and Netflix certainly capitalizes on that. I almost feel like Fox said "Meh, Why Not?". Personally, I think it's going to be a hit! 

I always loved shows about aliens/UFOs. Though my teeny bopper soul prefers the nicer aliens sometimes like the ones from the series Roswell (still can't get that Dido theme song out of my head!)... any alien is better than no alien I suppose. Plus, X-Files had so much suspense. 

Fox had great success in ratings with 24: Live Another Day, so this power move their making with the X-Files doesn't really surprise me much. 



Anyways, it'll be fun to see how they pick this story up again. All you binge watchers out there (myself included) should pat yourselves on the back... Keep bringing the good stuff back! Binge watch FOREVER!

Dennis Salvatier (Tanoshiboy) LilBFF's Series.

10:48:00 AM
I Am So Smitten With These!
(Dexter and DeeDee)

Dennis Salvatier AKA Tanoshiboy created a series of LilBFFS and I can't stop starring at them. I love looking at art that makes me happy. He's brought some intense joy into my day by making me think back to my childhood (simpler days) and remember how much fun I would have watching these cartoons he's drawn. 

 From Super Heros, Dexters Lab, Ducktales, to some of my favorites shows on Nickleodeon! Ren and Stimpy, Rugrats. He's even featured Babs and Buster Bunny from Tiny Toons and those zany Animaniacs.

New Photos from Terminator Genisys.

10:09:00 AM
I'll Be Back.

I bumped into these photos from the new Terminator Genisys movie (via Coming Soon). They're from the May issue of Empire magazine. I'm excited to see the movie which hit's theaters May 1st 2015, but these photos don't really move me at all... they seem a bit too staged maybe?  


The movie stars Emilia Clarke (Sarah Conner), Jai Courtney(Kyle Reese) , Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator), and J.K. Simmons (Detective O'Brien). 


I'd like to see something a little more raw and cutting edge for behind the scenes photos. 



  "After finding himself in a new time-line, Kyle Reese teams up with John Connor's mother Sarah and an aging terminator to try and stop the one thing that the future fears, "Judgement Day"."


Nevertheless I'm still looking forward to check the film out. What are your thoughts?

Mortal Kombat X: Jason Voorhees Reveal.

12:58:00 PM
Who Doesn't Love A Horror Classic?



I used to love fighting video games... I still do really. I don't have much time to play them anymore because of moving around and not having the game console at the moment. However, I still get really excited when I see things like THIS.

I think perhaps if I were to name my top 3 killers from classic horror movies that used to scare the shit out of me when I was a little girl it would be in the order of...

1)Freddy Krueger 
2)Michael Myers
3)Jason Voorhees

3 isn't a terrible place to be... it's like bronze right? Anyway, to be frank... 2 and 3 are pretty much 50/50. I think Michael Myers got bumped up about one percent because I really enjoyed the first Rob Zombie remake for 'Halloween' (2007)... the second one... ehhhhh...(Love you Rob!).

My friend Dane knows about my love for these killers and shared this Mortal Kombat X: Jason Voorhees Reveal on my Facebook wall. Looks pretty sick right? Get ready to see bodies drop at Camp Crystal Lake. Video game x Horror Movie fans rejoice! I can tell this is going to be a goodie.

Never Have I Ever: The Game Of Bad Life Decisions.

3:20:00 PM
You Guys Have To Check Out 'Never Have I Ever' The Game Of Poor Life Decisions.



The card game is pretty much the game you may have played when you were younger where people as you questions and you confess to if you have done what they asked or not.  Never Have I Ever is a game that may expose a lot of your hidden truths and crazy things you've done in your life. More Importantly the game brings such comic relief to you and your group of friends. This card game is AH-MAZ-ING. It's terribly scandalous in the best way possible and will have you literally laughing you're ass off.Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltrow played Never Have I Ever on 'ELLEN' and had a blast. The rules are very easy and you can read them once you open the box. 

Myself personally (since I'm of age) would through some beers or cocktails in the mix for the group while I play for added laughter and silliness. The game is meant for 4-12 people. Below watch me talk a bit about the game with my 2 guest George and Nala (woof) and we'll read some cards for you as a preview. 

You can buy 'Never Have I Ever: The Game Of Poor Life Decisions' on Amazon HERE.
Check out their website HERE and learn more about the game.

Women Wednesday: Geek Girl Declaration.

11:05:00 AM
I found this goodie while searching The Fangirls Guide To The Galaxy...


I thought it was a good message to share on "Women Wednesday. Geek girls don't have to prove themselves. Whether you're new to embracing the geek girl in you or you're a vet... you have to just own it, you don't have to pass any test! You can be a girly girl and still a geek girl... don't let anyone judge you! It's ok to support and encourage the new female characters and writers in the comic book industry (girls have to stick together). GEEK GIRLS DON'T APOLOGIZE. You're smart, beautiful and witty. 

Make sure you read the whole snippet and go do your thing girl! A Fan girl, a Geek Girl, a Feminist... whatever they want to call you, you are a force to be reckoned with!

DC Comics Pulls "Batgirl" Joker Variant Cover At Artist's Request.

12:13:00 PM
Oh The Controversy...

Did you guys see the variant cover for "Batgirl" #41? Well guess what?! It will not be published by DC Comics I learned yesterday. What I found even more crazy but I guess a bit understandable was that the request to pull it was from the cover's artist, Rafael Albuquerque.
"My intention was never to hurt or upset anyone through my art," Albuquerque, the acclaimed artist of "American Vampire," said in a statement. "For that reason, I have recommended to DC that the variant cover be pulled."
DUDE WHY?

I don't think the cover should have been pulled AT ALL. We can agree to disagree on this. Here are a few general reasons why.
1) Rafael Albuquerque is an artist! He's an expressive person and should conserve the right to be creative as he wishes. He's talented and that's why he got hired to begin with. 
2) They're fictional characters!!! The Joker is an evil one at that! How about way worse things that go on in books, TV, movies and all sorts of places that are way more violent towards women than this? 
3) I actually think it fits really well with the story line from the 1988 story "Batman: The Killing Joke". I think he did a good job paying homage. 
4) This can start an ugly trend in the Comic Book industry. Will people start a social media campaign every time a cover slightly offends them? Will more covers/variants get pulled? I feel like this open up a can of worms. 

The variant was inspired from Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's popular 1988 story "Batman: The Killing Joke," in which Barbara Gordon/Batgirl was shot and paralyzed by the Joker. It was always insinuated that the character was also sexually assaulted... but never confirmed.
The hashtag #changethecover  was very active on Twitter and Tumblr asking DC to not release the variant. Then threats and all sorts of craziness started floating around the internet of course. 

Rafael Albuquerque:
My Batgirl variant cover artwork was designed to pay homage to a comic that I really admire, and I know is a favorite of many readers. 'The Killing Joke' is part of Batgirl’s canon and artistically, I couldn't avoid portraying the traumatic relationship between Barbara Gordon and the Joker.
For me, it was just a creepy cover that brought up something from the character’s past that I was able to interpret artistically. But it has become clear, that for others, it touched a very important nerve. I respect these opinions and, despite whether the discussion is right or wrong, no opinion should be discredited.
My intention was never to hurt or upset anyone through my art. For that reason, I have recommended to DC that the variant cover be pulled. I'm incredibly pleased that DC Comics is listening to my concerns and will not be publishing the cover art in June as previously announced.
With all due respect,
Rafa
DC Entertainment:
We publish comic books about the greatest heroes in the world, and the most evil villains imaginable. The Joker variant covers for June are in recognition of the 75th anniversary of the Joker.
Regardless if fans like Rafael Albuquerque’s homage to Alan Moore’s THE KILLING JOKE graphic novel from 25 years ago, or find it inconsistent with the current tonality of the Batgirl books - threats of violence and harassment are wrong and have no place in comics or society.
We stand by our creative talent, and per Rafael’s request, DC Comics will not publish the Batgirl variant. – DC Entertainment   

In all honesty... What do you think about this situation? I highly disagree with the cover being pulled. It was a great piece of art and should have been published.

I Love My Funko Gene Simmons Hello Kitty!

12:05:00 PM
This bad boy is just so cute to pose with...

I purchased my Funko Hello Kitty/Kiss - Demon Vinyl Figure a few years back at New York Comic Con and I find myself always randomly posing with it. It's such a fun figure. I was instantly attracted to the Gene Simmons inspired Hello Kitty because of the bad ass rocker he is and I've always loved the tongue. KISS is a epic rock band as I'm sure many of you know. 



Do you have a current Funko Pop Vinyl Figure you're crushing on?
