River Tam and the Fireflies

Image
A while back there was some Firefly fan art roaming around the internet. Some of the greatest fan art to come along in recent years. It was made to look like an old album cover and it looked like this. Well now you have the chance to own that piece of artwork on a Tee shirt, for the next few hours at least. Tee Fury's shirt of the day features the front cover and can be purchased here until the end of the day when a new shirt will take its place.

Transformer toys give hints at new characters

Look at these: LOOK!!! Do you know what this means? It looks to me like the Dinobots are going to be in the third Trasnformers movie. I'll admit, I never really expected to see these guys in the live action movies. Even when some of the ads for Revenge of The Fallen boasted something like 46 new robots in the movie, I never really expected them to draw from the dinobots line. I guess the next question is, are these the only two that are going to appear, or will we get even more of the line? And does this mean a Beast Wars movie in the future?

Thundercats have a trailer

At WonderCon, a trailer was released for the upcoming Thundercats TV show. I stand by my earlier statement of, I WANT TO SEE THIS!!

Wonder Woman

So tell me the difference between these two outfits? Which looks more ridiculous? I'll give you a guess, it's the one with the shiny bright blue spandex pants with matching blue boots. I was concerned for the new Wonder Woman tv show when they announced the basic premise. I was even more concerned when the original costume idea first appeared a couple weeks back. It seemed like no one involved had any clue what to do with Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. Three distinct personalities, high-heel blue boots, what else could they throw in there? But now I think it might be getting better. This new costume, while still problematic, is a step up from both the original tv costume and her original bathing suit-inspired costume as well. I still have no idea how she can run with such little breast support, but at least she has some pants on now. If Xena: Warrior Princess could use some straps, her Amazonian sister Wonder Woman could too. I'm just saying. And her shoes are the r...

My New Project!

Image
So by now you know that I am a huge Star Wars nerd/geek/fanatic. Well, I have finally decided to take the next step in the relationship. I am joining the Mandalorian Mercs. Don't know who they are? check this out: http://mercs.firespray.net/forum/index.php In order to be an official member, I have to have my own set of beskar'gam (that's Mandalorian armor). I have always wanted my own armor but was afraid for years that it would require me to learn the time consuming and expensive art of vac forming. After doing some browsing through the tips and tricks section of the Merc's forums I found a tutorial showing how to make beskar'gam out of plastic storage totes! I ran outside and, to my supreme joy, there were two sitting in our storage room, completely empty. I snatched them up, printed out templates and got to cutting! So here are some shots of the progress so far. These are the first pieces cut out of green paper Here are the templates transfered onto one of the bu...

Captain America will be released

Image
Captain America you say? You may be thinking that I am talking about this movie. The one that will be hitting theaters later this year. But we all knew that was coming out. What I want to talk about today is this movie Made in 1990, this version of Captain America never actually made it into theaters and has never been released on DVD. Those who dig through Ebay long enough may be able to find a rather rare copy of the VHS copy that was released. However, thanks to the new movie coming out this summer, we will finally be able to see the first Captain America movie make it's debut on DVD some time this May. And not only will it be released but it will be a director's cut version with about 30 extra minutes of footage. Now it is the general consensus that this movie was terrible. And being that I have never seen the whole thing, I can't say for sure one way or the other. But check back in May when I will most certainly have gotten a copy of this. Now if we can just get an off...
