Shameless Plug

Anyone who knows me will find the following to be no surpise at all. The inagural Shameless Plug is none other than..................

I have been harping on this book for well over a year now. My paperback copy looks like it went skydiving it is so worn through. Author David Wong perfectly captures his characters and the B-movie horror feel he is going for.

The first pressing sold out so quickly that paperback copies are going for roughly 200 apiece and Don Coscarelli has already stated claim to direct a film version of this.

So......... Go here to find it on Amazon, it is also available at all fine retailers. Support the little guy.

Best Episode Ever: Hey our COPS is on!!!!

Sorry about the delay in posting.... Router dropped on me took a while to get back up.


This is quite possibly what I am most looking forward to on this blog a breakdown of not seasons or full on shows, but the best episodes of what can be considered some of TV's greatest shows. There were a few options of what to go with but those will be covered in due time.... We open with My Name is Earl: Season 2 Episode 12 "Our COPS is on."

Premise: "Earl" is centered around the title character who won $100k on a lotto scratch off and then gets hit by a car. While hospitalized he learns of karma and decides to change his life around and make up for all the bad things he has done in his life.

While all this is taking place we get flashbacks of the old Earl and this episode is fully devoted to the ways of old Earl. The COPS crew comes to Camden and takes very little time before finding their way to Earl and company only to find hilarity ensuing around everyone corner. Earl stealing cop cars and kidnapping camera men, Randy climbing into trees and getting to scared to come down, Darnell "Crabman" getting caught growing weed and hiding in various places, Joy throwing Earl's belongings off the trailer roof and later being chased while running naked.

This episode is by far a shining gem on what is already a great show, it is a damn shame this show got shit canned. Hopefully another network picks it up soon.

Comicbook Wednesday

Ok, so I may have misled with my original post. Wednesdays will be about comics, but not just the comics that have come out this week.

With that here's my review of Dynamo 5: Post-Nuclear Family Volume 1.

Captain Dynamo is dead, tower city was open to criminals and supervillians to take over and run rampant... Until, Madeline "Maddie" Warner the widow of Captain Dynamo finds his little black book and uses that information to find children he has fathered through his infidelity... there are unsurprisingly five of them.

Hector Chang aka Visionary: X-ray vision, laser vision, telescopic vision
Olivia "Livvie" Lewis aka Slingshot: Flight
Spencer Bridges aka Myriad: Shape shifting
Bridget Flynn aka Scrap: Superhuman Strength
Gage Reinhart aka Scatterbrain: Telepathy

The book opens with the team already formed and fighting crime while also leading their normal lives, Gage plays football, Bridget is a movie theater employee, Hector is a highschool nerd, Olivia is an activist, and Spencer is a player.

There are really two main focuses of this book I can go into without spoiling anything for you:
First is how these five half siblings have to adapt to each other and their differences to become a team learn to get along with each other as they all also come to terms with the fact they are now members of a brand new family.

Secondly, and the one I found particularly interesting was the story about Maddie, her past, and how she is dealing with the fact that her huband was a superslut while being a superhero.

This is another great title by image that I would highly reccomend, as always I promise these will get better with time, it will just take time.

Tuneage Tuesday: Pepper

First heard of Pepper about five years ago when they were opening for the Kottonmouth Kings on tour. Decided to go ahead and give them a shot, I was immediately impressed with the punk/ska/reggae sound that reminded me of Sublime.


Live Performance: Crazy Love off the album No Shame





Stand and Fall off the album Pink Crustaceans and Good Vibrations



Finally offical video for their biggest hit: Give It Up off the album Kona Town



Enjoy.

RAW(view)

So another Monday brings another WWE Monday Night RAW.

Show opens with this weeks special guests host Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, I really don't care for this whole "weekly host" thing there have only been a handful who have brought anything good to the table... Opening segment really brought nothing new to the show or to get me excited for it just set up the matches later in the night or in the case of the Miz, right after commercial.

Miz and Evan Bourne put on a good show, people hate on Miz all the time for being an old Real World cast member but it breaks down to him being a wrestling fan. That showed when he was on the RW and has carried into his career, the guy is putting in genuine effort to better himself and it shows. Evan Bourne is the best WWE high-flier since the Hardys/E&C feud in the early 2000's. Solid match between the two, Miz wins.

Kofi Kingston v. Randy Orton has potential to be a GREAT story if they play it out right. I've been a Kofi fan since he debuted on ECW and been an Orton fan since like 2005. Match got turned into a six-man-tag-team-extravaganza, which is good, this entire match was setup for Survivor Series where Kofi and Orton will most likely be captains on their respective teams.

Sheamus damn near killed Jamie Noble, stiff shots and such. Either Noble sold like a champ or he actually got hurt on that powerbomb.

Throwaway segments, RAW's got Talent to play off Sharon Osbourne then a women's battle royal. I nearly fell asleep with seven hot women on my screen if that tells you anything.

Main event Triple Threat: Cena v. Jericho v. Big Show w/ D-Generation X on commentary. Pretty solid match featuring Cena v. Jericho/Big Show or one of the two. Standard breakdown between JeriShow towards the end of the match and a nice way to make Show look strong and Jericho still sneaky with him falling on Cena after Show delivers the knockout punch. I like where they are taking the story with Jericho and Big Show as tag champs. DX added nothing to the match, if anything they took away from it. Best part of them being on commentary was when Shawn admitted he knew he was the Robin to Triple H's Batman.

Overall thoughts: If i had started this blog a week ago I would've had a much more solid show to write about, but this is these are the setup shows leading into one of the "Big 4" pay-per-views so I can see why they booked the show the way they did.

Have a nice night kiddos.

Bustin' feels pretty good.

So I might be a day late with this but who cares...Never really been a fan of Hoobastanks music but I do believe this could be one of the most fun tributes to the Ghostbusters I have seen in recent memory.
