…and that’s fine.

Originally cribbed from Newgrounds, c/o Happy Harry productions. I have to say that this is absolutely brilliant. So horribly 80s, so horribly divergent from the source material and so utterly hilarious. I’m not sure if my favorite part is the bit with Nite Owl being a blatant shout out to Michaelangelo’s scene from the old TMNT cartoon or the part with the Comedian and Laurie, which is the creepiest bit in the whole thing.

Watch this. It’s solid gold.

Some real content will be coming soon, too. Just incredibly busy with other stuff at the moment. Don’t know when I’ll post my thoughts on the cinematic Watchmen, either. Popular consensus is that it will do strong opening weekend numbers and then plummet off the face off the Earth. Not sure about that, as I think people who are looking to sate their Dark Knight cravings will eventually go and check this out and ‘word of mouth’ will carry this film for a respectable showing.

Of course, if this film does great you know what that means, right? SEQUEL-TIME, BABY!

Some ideas,

- Somebody’s killing heroes…again. An angry Rorshach is back and is hungry for vengeance. Watch out!

- 40 years into the future, all of the ‘old’ Watchmen are now dead or on their last legs. An aging Dr. Manhattan (played by Mickey Rourke) tries to re-connect with his old flame and looks back on his life, wondering if he did the right thing.

- Since the idea of a gengineered space alien was ‘too weird’ for regular film goers to wrap their heads around, director Zack Snyder opts to use an old Hollywood standby for the sequel to the ‘critically acclaimed’ Watchmen. Also, a subtle wink to the ‘competition’ is incorporated in the sequel, which sees the Comedian rising from the dead to command a horde of zombies and to seek vengeance on Ozymandias. A ‘brilliant’ twist to the zombie genre where the good guys are the monsters!

The best part for me? When the guy is in the coffee shop and explains to the idiot that is AWESTRUCK with Ye Olde Magick Music Programme that his daughter could use Songsmith for two reasons. The first is that I absolutely cannot wait to see what Apple is going to do with this with their ‘I’m a Mac’ commercials. You know they’re going to be doing something. The second is that I remember when people used to live in mortal fear of having their kid know more about the inner workings of their computer and it was sort of referred to in a ‘wink, wink, nudge, nudge’ sort of way. Amazing that not only is Microsoft scared as hell of Apple and their Geico-friendly computers, but they’re utterly and completely failing to address it!

I mean, fuck, this is something you would expect to see on a late night infomercial. Everything, from the production values, to the Stepford-esque mentality being exhibited by everyone is FRIGHTENING.

Well, hello and welcome to the Internet Trashcan, non-existant audience who isn’t reading this!

First of all, I know I’m a little late to the party, but here’s a song, in honor of W, who, if you haven’t heard, is no longer President of the United States. I know! When did THAT happen?

What? It’s appropriate, innit?

Anyway, this is going to be my blog and is going to touch on a variety of topics. I’ll be writing about everything from hockey to comic books to whatever else may go in between. Sometimes I’ll be posting news stories or webpages that I find interesting or useful for whatever stories I may be working on. Yeah, so there’s really nothing that distinguishes me from the other hojillion blogs run by 20somethings out there…yet!

Content will be up and coming, though, so check back during this weekend!
