CONGRATS TO BRY, SHEILA & BIG SISTER ASHLEY!!!!!
Andrew posted this over at his place and I just had to share! It's a life-size latex and foam ALIEN, formed on a steel armature with poseable tail. Its 7ft 7inch tall and based on Giger's original creature from the first ALIEN film. I freaking love it! The body is very skinny compared to the real one, but it doesn't bother me. It actually reminds me of KILIAN PLUNKETT's ALIEN drawings from the comic "ALIENS: LABYRINTH", a mini-series I loved (pick up the trade!). Anyway, this thing is rad and I want one for my living room. Hmmm, or my desk at work. Guess I need two of em. I posted more pics HERE.
Today's "Hero of the Day" goes to a collie named "LASSIE" in Indiana. Lassie's home was on fire and she woke up her family enabling them to barely escape the burning home. Unfortunately, Lassie did not make it out. I know! SAD!!! But she was a hero and gave her life so others might live. Captain America would be proud. Rest in peace, Lassie! You're my hero of the day!!!!
Disney's return to traditional 2D animated movies (WooHoo!!!) begins with "THE FROG PRINCESS" and will star their first African-American Princess, "Maddy." The story is described as "an American fairy tale" set in the French Quarter of New Orleans. "From the heart of Louisiana's mystical bayous and the banks of the mighty Mississippi comes an unforgettable tale of love, enchantment and discovery with a soulful singing crocodile, voodoo spells and Cajun charm at every turn." Plus Randy Newman on music, because there's still a few people out there not tired of his music in Disney movies. I mean, what better musician than him to make music about Black New Orleans?! The Villain is set to be George W. Bush, who does nothing throughout the entire movie, but does make a brief appearance at the end of the credits.
BEHOLD THE MIGHTY TEXAS CENTAUR!!!!
So it looks like the GIJOE movie is going to suck hard. But atleast we're about to get some killer looking new toys based on the original incarnation! Give the pic a click to enlarge and get a better look!!
Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura had this to say about the upcoming GIJOE movie, "Action Man is the equivalent of G.I. Joe internationally pretty much. It's a different character, but pretty much the same idea and his name is Alex Mann. So we're creating a buddy movie between Duke and Alex. That's what we're doing. All the characters will be there and it'll be really fun..."
Another ALIEN model from the fine folks of KOTOBUKIYA. Neat sculpt and scenario, too bad its from AVP. The Alien looks like a hybrid of sorts between the "Dog Alien" of ALIEN3 and the Resurrection/AVP Aliens. Personally I don't like the pose. Its cool as a pose on its own for maybe another kind of creature, but not for the ALIEN. Still, if this fucker's $90 like the rest of Koto's models, I'll probably have to get it. Its a sickness. I'm quite aware of it.
Hey BATTLESTAR GALACTICA fans! If you saw sunday's episode "MAELSTROM" you saw the scene with Adama's emotional outburst thereby destroying a small sailing ship model! Well, apparently the violent moment was a bit of unscripted improvising on the actor's part. Er, and the ship wasn't a model... it was actually an extremely valuable museum piece. Oops! You can hear actor Edward James Olmos (Adama) talk about it here.
*WARNING: If you haven't read CAPTAIN AMERICA #25 or heard the news on all the News channels, then DO NOT read on....SPOILERS IMMEDIATELY BELOW:

Sideshow Collectibles has a new Alien maquette, based on the "Dog Alien" from ALIEN3. Ok design, nice sculpt and really nice paintjob me thinks. Although the proportions are bid off and overtly elongated in a Ingres' Grande Odalisque kind of way. But really, why the need for an ALIEN3 statue is beyond me. Especially since this little fucker costs $900. Is there that big of a demand for this design? I would think more people would want something from ALIEN or ALIENS. Regardless, its kind of a neat statue, especially for an ALIEN fanatic like myself.
I'm so mad at Marvel right now (see previous post below). So here is a post to promote a great DC comic book:
Covers to the first 2 collections, on sale now:
Hey Douchebags!!! Thanks for spoiling today who dies post-Civil War, the day the fucking issue comes out. It's not even 10am and as I'm reading the news, there it is on MSNBC, CNN, YahooNews, etc. Great! You couldn't have waited, say, a fucking DAY? You know, allow people to go GET the fucking issue first? Thank god Quesada (Editor In Chief) and crew aren't in charge of movies: "The sequel to Star Wars, 'THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK', comes out this friday! Go see it, cause its revealed Darth Vader is really Luke's father!" or "Bruce Willis is already dead and helps a young boy who sees dead people!!" Man, fuck you, Marvel. Thanks alot, Dickheads. I call bullshit and yet another stupid desperate cheap marketing grab for money. Go blow a whale, Marvel. You suck. My money's going somewhere else from now on, assholes. Oh, and I'm not even going to go into WHO they killed and why.
Since HOLLYWOOD is currently being run by unimaginitive idiots, focused on remakes, sequels and making a quick buck, I thought I'd help them out with an idea for sequels. Reignite Tom Hanks' delightful brother, JIM HANKS, and cast him in the same roles as his brother (he's much cheaper than Tom's salary!). Here are a few sequels you can put into effect:
You may have heard the news about a great idea of having a NUDE Gym. Well here's a pic of said gym. I really can't express how disgusting this idea is. At first you'd think "hell yeah, nude hot people working out." No. If you've ever been to a gym, I think you know how this is a really really bad, and health hazard infested, idea. I hate finding sweat puddles on benches and seats, let alone skid marks. *shudder*
