CYBER MONDAY: HELP REIGNITE INSANE MISSION

INSANE MISSION UPDATE 021:

I've started to slightly reignite the ole INSANE MISSION to fill a bookcase with copies of the ALIENS Novelization; I returned from my Thanksgiving Travels with 3 more copies in hand! This brings the total amount of books to 68!!

I think I just need 14 more books to fill up SHELF #2....

So while you're buying presents for all your loved ones today on "CYBER MONDAY", why not also buy me some ALIENS NOVELIZATIONS?! For the cost of a Starbucks coffee, you can contribute to the INSANE MISSION and drive Mrs Smash further into Madness!

TO CONTRIBUTE:
Amazon currently has almost 100 used copies priced at a PENNY (with $3.99 shipping). So, to contribute to the INSANE MISSION, simply send an amazon.com gift card to jimsmash@gmail.com ($4, 8, 12, 16, etc - see link for further info). Or if you have a copy, email me!

Note: Non-U.S. donors, please send a gift card via the U.S. based Amazon website as it will not accept amazon.uk, etc gift codes (lame!).
Upon each new books' arrival, I will post an update & pic of the shelves. I also place inside each book a card with the above "Hulk reading Aliens" image with the generous donor's name written up the right side. Fun!

Here's an updated pic of the shelves which now include the newly added 3 books:
TOTAL BOOKS ON SHELF TO DATE: 68

Buyers of Books 1-68 listed here
THANKS EVERYONE!!!

DEADPOOL PENCIL HOLDER

I'm not a huge DEADPOOL fan (although I did enjoy the Kelly/MC2 run), but I will say this Deadpool PENCIL HOLDER is pretty funny. All Deadpool Fans should get one.

STILL CAN'T GET IT RIGHT

Apparently, this is the new GODZILLA in the upcoming latest reboot attempt. It looks kinda cool... its better than that piece of shit Emmerch abomination that I don't acknowledge.... but as a Godzilla Fan, this new design doesn't thrill me.

To uber-nerd out, here are my whiny complaints:

1) Godzilla is dark GREEN, not brown & tan.
2) I miss the classic Godzilla skin texture!
3) There's too many spikes all over (arms & legs), which effect the overall design.
4) The needle teeth make him appear to ravenous.
5) He doesn't look iconic. Godzilla's silhoutte should be unmistakable.
Overall, its not terrible - I'm just a bit picky. What's cool is that he's thick and looks like he could brawl with the best of them on Monster Island. I do hope they'll keep Godzilla in JAPAN.

LEGO: ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR

Check out this impressive (most impressive!) LEGO scene from 'Return of the Jedi', by Jay Hoff. Pretty fantastic!!

Ok, so full-on kidding here.... in ultra nerd voice....
"What's Wrong With This Picture?"

1) Why are Vader & Palpatine switched?
2) Why is there a long, wide Red line on the floor? That's not in the movie.
3) Whos' that "Black Guard" behind the Emperor? Isn't that from a Video Game?
4) Who's the "Dark Jedi" behind the Emperor? This is madness!
5) Why are their Clonetroopers in there?

Kidding aside, great job Jay!

Hey Jim! Long time reader, first time writer. First off, love the blog, keep up the good work! Second, I saw the picture of Russell Crowe as Jor-El, and i just don't know... and I'm sure you've seen it by now? So i just wanted to hear that ole' JimSmash opinion on it? Thoughts? -Pete.
Thanks, Pete! Yeah, I've seen the Russell Crowe JOR-EL photos... I'm not quite sure how to properly express my thoughts & opinions with words, so I shall simply create a single image to express them:

COMIC SCORE: GL EMERALD DAWN II TPB

My long hunt for the out-of-print, hard to find GREEN LANTERN: EMERALD DAWN II Tpb is over! For the past few years I was unable to find it at all... and if I did, it was jacked up to $40-75. But after a long journey of patience & searching, I found it for only $11! Score!

The chodes selling it online for $40-75 can bite me.
