COMIC GLASSES

Toon Tumblers are making comic pint glasses like yesteryear! Most of them are Marvel, but there are some DC in there, too. What I like most about these is that [most of] the images are from the 60s-80s (none of that 90s-now crap). I'm definitely going to pick some up. They will go nicely with the vintage glasses I still have (& use!) from my youth; Star Wars movies & Superman. And will look great filled with blue beverages from the previous post!

NEWS OF THE DAY: NAKED TERMINATOR

A man found naked at a casino claimed he was a Terminator sent from the future.

19-year-old Sean Stanley Smith was arrested on the Nevada border after he was spotted by a motorist wandering around the highway nude. He was ordered by police to stop but proceeded into a nearby casino - where he was then tasered in front of a group of children.

Smith claims he was a Terminator sent back in time from the future - a reference to the film character made popular by Arnold Schwarznegger in the sci-fi franchise. The films usually start with a naked man being transported to the past.

However, it turned out that Smith was not a time-travelling Terminator but was in fact suffering from the effects of LSD and marijuana. He was charged with indecent exposure and resisting a police officer. (article)

Nice.

Which leads us to CollegeHumor explaining
why Terminators time-travel naked:

and just for the hell of it, an awesome screenshot from
the 1st Terminator (my favorite):sweet.

RYAN REYNOLDS IS GREEN LANTERN

Apparently RYAN REYNOLDS has been cast as GREEN LANTERN.

Good grief, do they even READ the comics? (no). Reynolds is no where NEAR right for the part of Hal Jordan. At all.

Ryan Reynolds was born to play 2 parts: Deadpool and WALLY WEST FLASH. Reynolds is completely wrong for the part. It's like having Christopher Reeve play Batman.

Last week it was reported the casting choices were down to three: Reynolds, Bradley Cooper & Justin Timberlake. Of those 3, I would have gone with Cooper. But all 3 are bad choices for Hal.

This casting makes me sad.

*seriously, Justin Timberlake???

PREDALIEN CONCEPT BUST

SideShow Collectibles and Amalgamated Dynamics Inc have teamed up to produce Alien/Predator/AVP merchandise. Here is their latest outing: One of their unused Concept Designs for the PREDALIEN seen in the unwatchable AVP-R. You can buy it for $180 here. They've already produced a full-body statue of another unused Predalien concept design (here).

The sculpt & paint job is really nice and while I don't necessarily like this design, I do prefer it to the one that made it up on screen (review).

You all should know by now my disdain for the Predalien, so I'll spare you another regurgitation of my rant.... (if you don't know, click here: HATING THE PREDALIEN).

Instead I thought I'd share with you some JimSmash Hate Mail I received awhile back from "anonymous" regarding the Predalien and my intelligence:

"Fuck you. you couldn't come up with anything that successful. besides the alien-predator-AVP movie s made billions of dollars so obviously someone liked it. oh and JIM SMASH jim also not speak full sentence as jim have 5 brain cell."

Awesome.

*I receive hate mail all the time. Yippie!

MIRROR, MIRROR ENTERPRISE

Ha, nice. Diamond Select Toys is making an electronic ENTERPRISE based on the slightly altered version from the classic episode "MIRROR, MIRROR".

No, I do not know the episode number.... yet.

*Update: It's Episode 39. You're welcome.

As an added treat, here is your very own Mirror, Mirror evil goatee!
Just print and cut along the dotted lines!
