Here's the print of the LOST t-shirt I bought a few weeks ago.
I Think I Just Found My New Favorite Super-Hero
Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure theme park recently revealed the latest superhero from the Marvel Universe. He's a bit slower than the others, but I think he'll catch on.
I love the kid trying to catch up with them. "Hey guys! Wait for me!"
LOST Comics
I've still got love for LOST, despite the story not advancing for the past 2 episodes, and so does artist JJ Harrison. Although, his love appears to be greater than mine. Harrison has been creating LOST mini-comics online at his site. His visuals are simple & cartoony and his sense of humor toward/about the show is dead on. Below is a sample of his work (click it to make it bigger -THAT'S WHAT SHE SAD! ...sorry, I just had Michael Scott moment). Be sure to check out JJ's other, non-LOST inspired artwork here.

I Think My High School Sponsored These Videos
Although they serve as a good laugh for everyone, these videos are really intended for all 5 of my high school classmates that I still remain in contact with. As soon as I heard the words "acquire the fire" I felt sick and started having flashbacks of naive teenagers raising their hands and singing hallelujahs. Enjoy and try not to cringe too much.
LOST 365 Art Blog
Seriously, this is the best thing I've seen in a while. Artist Jared Stumpenhorst has taken it upon himself to create one piece of LOST inspired art a day. A piece of art a day! That's dedication my friend. His style is minimal, but powerful. Below are my top 10 favorite images from the past 33 days. Be sure to check out of his LOST blog here and his personal blog where you can purchase some of his cool t-shirts. Enjoy.
Trailer Trash, Pt. 17
This week's trash features what the Dukes of Hazard would be like in an alternate universe (and they had vaginas), a movie which asks the age-old question "Is it marriage or legalized rape?", a young boy who infects his WHOLE town with rabies, and finally what no film should be without - giant spiders!!! Enjoy.
Dixie Dynamite (1976)
The Blood Spattered Bride (1974)
I Drink Your Blood & I Eat Your Skin (1970)
The Giant Spider Invasion (1975)
WTF? I Still Love Her
In the video below, Kirsten Dunst covers "Turning Japanese" (a song thought to be about masturbation) while dressed as some sort of Anime character and dancing around Tokyo. Is it a promotional video? Movie tie-in? Was she bored? Your guess is as good as mine. Enjoy.
Stand Up Or Roll Over
I have no idea why these guys are angry (nor can I understand them), but what I do know is that the guy in the middle is ready to beat someone's ass and then dance-skate all over them.

Artist Spotlight: Polly Morgan
Based out of the U.K., Polly Morgan (as seen in the first photo below) is not your typical artist. She somewhat magically recreates life where there was once death in what can only be described as taxidermy art. Now before you get your panties in a bunch over whether or not this is cruelty to animals, Morgan's website has a disclaimer on how & where she received her "materials". Check out more of Polly's work here. Enjoy.
The Wolfman Review
When my friend asked if I wanted to see The Wolfman last night my initial reaction was to tell him no, but I haven’t been to the movies in a while and figured why not? That and I was secretly hoping that he’d change his mind once we got to the theatre and want to see Shutter Island instead. Alas, it didn’t happen and I ended up watching Benicio Del Toro run around screaming in a torn shirt for an hour and a half. Don’t get me wrong I like werewolves. I think they’re cool monsters, but lately no one has gotten them right and The Wolfman is another one of those films.
My hopes weren’t high going in, and unfortunately the film did little to nothing at all to help me see the good side of it. Sure there were some cool special effect scenes, but does this make me actually like the movie as a whole? Will I one day think back, "The Wolfman was good because it had that one scene where that thing happened and that guy was like..." probably not. I did like the fact that it was set in the past and I can only imagine how much worse the film would have been if were set in the present, but that’s about it. Not even the acting held my attention. The actors themselves (especially Anthony Hopkins) seemed to be about as interested in the film as I was. I tried to like The Wolfman. I really did, but it just kind of sat there like I did waiting for it to end.
Overall rating: Wait for the DVD if you really want to see it.
**Cracked.com has an article about why no one gives a shit about werewolves and it’s true.
Trailer Trash, Pt. 16
This week's selection of 'so bad they're good' movies includes the worst dinner party ever, Ida & Vincent - a really lovely old couple, one of the lamest attempts to kill people, and a gang of cycle-mad mommas (I did not make that up).
Deranged (1974)
Motel Hell (1980)
Rollercoaster (1977)
The Hellcats (1967)
Trailer Trash, Pt. 15
I've missed the past 2 weeks with this article, but it's back with hot dog-mouthed creatures from the sea in the first horror-monster musical(seriously?), women who are defiled by invaders from outer space, a double feature of demons & KUNG FU, and finally one of the best year book photos I've ever seen.
The Horror of Party Beach (1964)
5 Million Years to Earth (1967)
Devil Woman + Dragons Never Die (1976)
(This dude is totally in love with the sound of his own voice.)
Fear No Evil (1981)
The Demarcus and Chang Show
A lot of us will have to scramble in finding a new show to watch once LOST ends this season. Might I offer up The Demarcus and Chang Show as a replacement? I'm just saying.
