I heard rumblings of this movie during the last Comicon but never get too excited until I get concrete confirmation of badassness...here it is! Miller, who is better know as the writer of "Sin City" and "300," is trying his hand at directing a movie version of this legendary comic, which is written by Will Eisner. If you are unfamiliar with Eisner's work read up on him here. I will leave an explanation of the movie to the website as not to ruin the plot for those of you who aren't familiar with it already. I get overly excited about anything related to Frank Miller and this is no exception...this is going to be heavy green screen (ala 300) and has Sam Jackson cast as The Octopus...I'm sold! Click the pictures to reach the official website, which has a video introduction by Miller. Now if we can just get a Ronin adaptation made, I'd be in heaven.
Okay, this is awesome! The next evolution in automobile technology is here. A man from Kansas has developed a way to double a Hummer's horsepower while increasing it's MPG using...bio diesel! Read this article for a more technical explanation of what was done then check out this video of a Bio-Impala beating a Lamborghini in a drag race.
Now if we can just get the automobile industry to support this guy and keep the oil tycoons from burying the technology, we might be able to help the environment, ease the strain on our pocket books, and pimp out our rides all at the same time! By the way, if that is what can be done with SUV's and muscle cars, just imagine how great it would work with a car engineered specifically for optimizing fuel!
Yo holms, let me axe you a question. How awesome is this trailer? Sure it's got skills...but will said skills pay the bills? Who knows but there is one thing we can all agree on...the sweet taste of Charleston Chew! Sure the video is full of kick ass scenes...but you don't hear me not complaining. Be sure to pick up the DVD on November 27...I find the most erotic part of a women's body is the boobies!
You watched it! You can't unwatch it!
Here is the IMDb Site for Bender's Big Score - See voice list (Al Gore, Mark Hamill, Sarah Silverman, Tom Kenny)
Here is the Official Bily West Site - See forum for random Futurama news from Fry himself!
I hope everyone is as excited as I am right now because come Nov 27...I'll have no date, a 2 liter bottles of Shasta and my all Rush mix-tape...Lets Rock!
Not since Kingdom Hearts was released for the PS2 have I been so pleased with a combination of my favorite things. Now all we need is for Groening and Lucas to collaborate with a full length episode...much like the Star Trek episode of Futurama!
That is all.
Well the August birthday party for Myself (29th), DJ (25th), Jessica (can't remember...12th I think?), and Sam (8th) was last weekend. Unfortunately, we had to have the bash in Louisville, because Barbara recently had baby Sam and isn't ready to travel with her yet...I don't blame her, I just know how disappointed all of my Murray friends are that they can't be involved. There will be another party held in my honor this Saturday (the 8th) at my friend Jimmy's house if anyone is interested in attending, just ask and I will fill you in on the details. Back to the Louisville bash; it was a blast as usual and here are some highlights for those who couldn't make it:
Barbara made a delectable homemade cake which was decimated in a matter of minutes. Jessica and Doug had to leave early but their presence was enjoyed as always. My mom came up with my brother, Cliff, all the way from Mobile so that was cool.
And of course, no party would be complete without a diaper change Awwwwwwe:
Gifts were abound, food was plentiful, booze was flowin', and cigars were smoked...good times were had by all. Our good friend, Daniel, showed up for the festivities and partnered with Ginny to kick Cliff's, DJ's, and my asses at Trivial Pursuit '80 edition and Pop Culture DVD! It was a fun-filled night. The trip was capped by the viewing of the latest Harry Potter movie at the iMax3D theatre. I highly suggest seeing it in iMax3D if possible. I can't wait for another excuse to make the four hour drive to Louisville to see Sam, I don't think it is possible for me to be more in love with Sam...becoming an Uncle is the best gift I could ever receive and I cherish every second Ginny and I get to spend with her.
Thank You to every one who helped make this years birthday special, memorable, and fun...you know who you are. I look forward to many more gatherings throughout the year and isn't it about time for it to cool the balls off, literally...bring on the Fall!
Society defines me as a married college graduate who possesses a Bachelors Degree in History and Anthropology. As of December 4, 2008, I will be a certified High School Social Studies teacher...although I'm still looking for a teaching job. Hopefully I will start work on my Masters Degree in History in the next few years. My most character defining trait is my passion for movies, music, and video games. I also enjoy reading, discussing politics, and spending time with my wife and daughter. At my core, I see myself as more of an artist than a scholar, a lover rather than a fighter, and am extremely suspicious of all authoritative leaders. Although, I would not define myself as a conspiracy theorist, I do see the benefit of questioning our elected official's decisions, motives, and outcomes.
