New Marvel's Ant-Man - Trailer 1

8:19:00 AM
Yay Monday Means New Trailer...Today At Least! 

Marvel has just dropped it's first full length Ant-Man movie trailer starring Paul Rudd as Scott Lang. The trailer looks pretty promising for the comic book movie. 

 It's cool to see Paul Rudd in this kind of role as apposed to so much comedy. You get to see him shrink to ant size and have a short and sweet conversation with an Ant. The trailer includes a quick backstory, some humor, a face off, he even gets punch by a chick! Ch-ch-ch- Check it out. 


The Ant-Man film is set to be in theaters July 17th. 
What do you guys think so far?

Orange Is The New Black Season 3 Trailer.

12:30:00 PM
One Of Our Favorite Women's Prison Shows Is Back! 

 The Orange Is The New Black season 3 trailer has finally dropped. I don't know about you guys but I was a BIG Fan of season 1 and season 2 had me feeling blahhh... It was ok. 


The Season 3 trailer looks a little more promising and I'm super happy with the return of Alex Vause (Laura Prepon). I feel like the lack of her in season 2 was one of the reasons I didn't enjoy it as much. I wonder what will happen to her and Piper (Taylor Schilling) in season 3 and if Piper has anything to do with Alex being back in jail. 

 Anyway, the trailer looks like they'll be plenty on drama and I can't wait for season 3 to drop on Netflix. 

On another note, after I was a bit disappointed about season 2 I discovered Wentworth on Netflix. An Aussie women's prison show similar to 'Orange Is The New Black'. In a lot of aspects I like Wentworth more than Orange Is The New Black... It's a bit more rough and realistic in my opinion. If you have Netflix, you can check out the first 2 seasons of Wentworth HERE.  


At the end of the day I love both shows, cheers!

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!

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.

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?

Trailer And Poster For Bill Plympton's Animated Film CHEATIN'.

11:23:00 AM
I am a big fan of Bill Plympton So I'm Very Excited For CHEATIN'.

There's a lot of reasons I'm a fan of Mr. Plympton's. To name a few...

  • I'm a fan of his kooky, surreal, signature animated style.
  • I love his everlasting appreciation for the art of silent films. He's a superb visual story-teller.  
  • He is a big fan of fellow animators and constantly encourages more people to pursue the career. 
  • I always enjoy his racy story lines that tend to be a mix of Romance, Sex, Drama, Naughty Behavior, and Death.
  • He's almost like a real life cartoon in a great way.
  • He actually drew all 40,000 frames of Cheatin' (Who Does That? AMAZING.)
  • He kicked ass with his Kick-Starter for CHEATIN' which was inspiring to see. 
  • He makes animated films for adults to enjoy with real adult problems and situations! (Wake up and smell the coffee Hollywood! When will you get this?!)
  • He has a great sense of humor. You should check out his book "Make Toons That Sell Without Selling Out" He also laughs when I've asked him questions in the past like "Why do you always wear Hawaiian shirts?" ha. 
  • He's great to talk to in person. I've had a few conversations with him and he's very approachable, encouraging and detailed. 

 For these reasons and many, many more you should become familiar with his films. He's a crazy, passionate hard worker. 

His latest film CHEATIN' is going to be released Friday, April 3 in New York (Village East) with a national roll out to follow including: Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Minneapolis, Denver, Portland and others throughout April.  

 Below is a poster and trailer for the animated film.

Las Vegas Super Toy Con 2105 Day 1.

12:51:00 PM
This past weekend I attended Las Vegas Super Toy Con...

I didn't know what to expect really. I'm still fairly new to Las Vegas and moving from New York to Nevada has been a pretty huge change for me. I must say I was pretty pleasantly surprised.The venue was nicely filled with people walking around but not so full that I couldn't breathe (like some Comic Con conventions).  Toy collectors, aspiring collectors and lovers eagerly bounced around from booth to booth shopping, conversing, laughing, getting to know each other... it was a beautiful thing. I myself am not a collector (yet) but I like to own nice things so I always shop... I have a weakness for Funko Vinyl Figures (those big headed, creepy looking lil things, love em.) 

There was also special guest appearances by Tom Zahorsky of Tomica Toys, WWE's Ric Flair (Woo!), Mattel Barbie Designer Linda Kyaw, Mattel WWE Designer Bill Miekina, Garbage Pail Kids Designer Joe Simko, Hot Wheels Designer Larry Wood and MORE. 

Below are some random photos I shot of cool things I liked at the convention. Enjoy!


Who doesn't enjoy seeing the good ol' Delorean from 'Back To The Future".




The awesome Bubble Ray!



To The Bat Mobile! Of the 1960s that is. A true beauty.




Cereal Killers! Love these boxes and stickers that combine our favorite monsters and cereal characters into 1. You can check these guys out at SweetRot.com and Wax Eye. 



Below is some great collectables from the beloved Toy Shack booth. The store is located right in the heart of Fremont Downtown Vegas. 




I was admiring these Batgirl and Poison Ivy Barbie dolls... kept in pretty great condition may I add. 


Wizard of Oz


Gamers!


Star Wars freaks feast your eyes on these pieces of heaven on earth right here. 



Here's a quick peek of some classic stuff and that I found at Rogue Toys. 



Who doesn't love LEGO's? These next few photos are from a vendors who sells on ebay mainly. I misplaced the card unfortunately but you can probably check out Super Toy Con for more info. 





8 bit love.



Chewie!



Sick Captain America.





Love this Joker. 


Classic LIFE Batman cover. 



More Legos.


DC Villains and more at the Kimzar Kollectables booth. 




I had a pretty rad time and will be adding more updates in a bit. I would attend the convention again personally and suggest other check it out too if you like to collect toys/action figures and want to mingle with some pretty cool people. I think the convention has great growth potential so I'm excited to keep up with it, Cheers!
