Plus, lets not forget the most important event of them all, Batman is going to renounce his Scottish heritage and then marry the Duchess of Whitechapel. You know who I talking about, right? Whats-her-face - Jill the ripper - Jacks sister. I'm sure that's her name is anyway, because these people told me it. Those nice guys and girls who run... Monster Parties OK. I have to confess. I was joking about Batman renouncing his heritage and marrying Jill. The Scottish git has never even met her, because she's been too busy getting together all of this great stuff to celebrate this 'year of the Brit'. Here, check out these A-OK UK products: Inflatable Foil Torch Now what screams 'Olympic' more than an inflatable foil torch, huh?

But I suppose I best not mention him until his court case has been resolved.&nbsp; (click here for more information) Olympics Decoration Pack 3&nbsp; Just picture the scene, the day has finally come around when everyone goes nut's over Britain, prompting all in sundry to eat, drink, and be merry, in a rather dignified fashion. Probably. So what better way to enhance this experience than with a Olympic style decoration pack! It's packed to the brim with banners, balloons, bunting, the lot!

True story. Just as true as the fact that everyone loves cup cakes Union-Jack style. Agreed?

Thnoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) If you come to think about it green is a very symbolic color. It represents the country of Ireland. It is associated with a frog called Kermit. Plus in addition to this, it is the hue of heroes such as the Hulk, Green Arrow, and the one in this movie. This one Directed by Martin Campbell; and Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Tim Robbins. It was painted in 2011, and it took about 114 minutes to dry. Green Lantern THE STORY: Roguish test-pilot, Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds), has found himself in a rather situation type situation at the moment. No. Don't fret. It does not have anything to do with him crashing a governmental airplane on its maiden flight. Although his boss, Carrol Ferris (Blake Lively), plus his family, isn't that pleased about this dramatic incident. Instead, Hal is given a powerful green ring by a dieing purple alien called Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison). Oh! Pretty strange turn of events, I am sure that you'll agree. Well, that is what scientist, Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard) thinks, anyway, when he is called in by the government to inspect Abin's dead body. So too for that matter does Abin's college in the intergalactic 'Green Lantern Corps', Thal Sinestro (Mark Strong), when he addresses his superiors, the immortal Guardians, whilst explaining to them how Abin was killed by a 'fear entity' called Parallax. But what about Hal, huh? What does he make of these alien proceedings? Err - simply put - confused. Initially Hal is confused when he first discovers that this ring needs to be recharged by its accompanying 'power battery'. He is then confused when this ring takes him into outer space, and presents him to where it originated from, the planet Oa, the home of the Guardians. And he is ultimately confused when the Guardians peace keeping force, the Green Lantern Corps, introduce themselves, before slapping him about a bit to test his resolve. In fact, Hal is so confused by this turn of event's, he tells 'the Corps' to f*ck off, before flying back to Earth again, to get on with his life. Meanwhile, during this time, the scientist, Hector Hammond, goes through an evolution as well. You see, whilst he is inspecting Abin's dead body, the fear entity which killed Abin, Parallax, infects him as well. Granted, Hector does not really realize this has happened to him, until he starts inadvertently reading people's minds. Moreover, when he also attempt's to kill his overbearing Dad, Hammond (Tim Robbins), when he, Hal, and Carol, are all at a launch party together. Oh! But don't you worry though; Hal does the right thing and powers-up to save the day. Just like he does when he comes to the realization that Parallax has its grips on Hector, prompting him to set the stage for a confrontation to end all confrontations... ... fear verses will. Well, I suppose that is why what next transpires is a right emotional affair all in all. As the public cheer - heroes know fear - airplanes step up a gear - and aliens come over a bit queer. &nbsp; &nbsp; THE REVIEW: OK, so this is the film which most of my readers have asked me to review for quite some now, 'Green Lantern'. And do you know what? Now that I have actually sat down and taken the time to see what's what with this flick, I can point my finger on what all that hullabaloo was about, concerning its fall from grace - this movie tries to do too many things. You see, in essence, there is so much going on with this comic book franchise film, that it has actually forgotten to tell a story. Moreover, what it has also failed to neglect, is that this film needs to have some personality as well - something more than just introduce / set-up / deploy / and see you again for the probable sequel. And why has it forgotten to do that? Well, as I said previously, it tries so hard to juggle so many elements within the overall pretext, it has not given each segment that much time to gestate and grow within the overall narrative. Is it a love story? Is it an origin story? It is about PaCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLAIf you come to think about it green is a very symbolic color.

Wrnoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) [ SUPER DISCOUNT ]&nbsp; So the villains have stared to travel. I could tell by the sound of foot on gravel. First comes' the clump. Then comes' the dump. Plus to top it all off comes' the dead celebrity Jimmy Saville. Or maybe it's these live celebs? Writer: Geoff Johns; Artist: Gary Frank and Jim Lee; with Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. So what’s the STORY morning glory? In this first part of 'The Villains Journey', I am sorry to say that our gang of colourful heroes just don't know what they are getting themselves into. Batman, Superman, and Cyborg, are puzzled as to why the Key has broken the inmates out of Arkham Asylum. Whilst Green Lantern, the Flash, and Wonder Woman, try to come to grips with why Weapons Master has smashed up Iron Heights penitentiary. Regretfully though, poor love-stuck Steve Trevor knows first hand what is really going on. Especially when he is currently being tortured by some depressive wacko called Graves, who instigated these two events from behind closed doors. Meanwhile, in the 'Shazam' back-up feature, we get a glimpse of Billy and his new foster family's disastrous first day at Fawcett High School. Also, how Doctor Sivana sees magic in a Baghdad cave.&nbsp; What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? There were a two pieces of dialogue for both of the stories in this book that I liked quite a bit. In the Shazam tale it was when Sivana said 'I can see magic' - that was very foreboding I thought. Whereas in the Justice League tale, it was the scene where Hal and Barry were arguing with each other about who was going to play the good cop and who was going to play the bad cop.&nbsp;"I'm going to get very... upset", ha! That Barry! What a straight laced guy. What was the BEST thing about this issue? In the past I felt that Steve Trevor was a character that has always been ignored by DC. He was an army man. He was 'Mister Wonder Woman'. And he was a git. But now it appears that this 'League Liaison' is starting to turn into their new 'Snapper Carr', just with a dash more relevance and an erstwhile manner. Intriguing where Jones and Lee will go with this, huh?&nbsp; What was the WORST thing about this issue? Now the majority of this issue was really good all in all. And if I did have a small gripe about it, it would be because I am puzzled why DC Comics are charging so much for this comic. $3.99 is a bit steep in this globally defunct time, and by increasing the price they are obviously decreasing the readership as well. Shame. Because these people are missing out on a great story. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Although it does not appear to have any relevance on the story as of yet, I did find it original how the 'mini-flashbacks' gave each member of the team some pathos. Very nice. And not in an intrusive way. ART: Both Gary Frank and Jim Lee convey 'character' very well in this issue. As ever, Gary made what could have been a rather mundane story into a bold slice of life. Whilst Jim excelled himself when he conveys melancholy and cruelty in the more darker and harsher scenes. Posters all the way. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? DOCTOR WHITE: It is just me, or does this quickly killed doctor look a lot like stand-up comic, Martin Mull, from the eighties movie 'Clue'? His middle names 'Eugene' don't you know. MR BRYER: When this rich prick first showed his face in the Shazam part of the book, straight away I thought to myself "Jeff Bridges has the same beard as he does!". SHAZAM!!! If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Liaising For A Bunch Of Super Powers Heroes Can Cause Harm. Please Take Precautions For Chapped Hands.

"Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man". Also, something else taken by this program, was my door keys last night. It must have been for about 60-minutes some time in 2012. But I could be mistaken you know. The Up Series THE STORY: Thirteen children. Thirteen lives. One documentary. And in this particular instalment of '56 Up', we get to see what has happened to the 'final five participants' out of 'the thirteen'. What now follows is a breakdown on the life and times of Bruce, Lynn, John, and Tony. BRUCE: ACADENIC ADVENTURER Now Bruce spent the majority of his younger years in academia, learning and teaching both at home and abroad, until at 42 years of age he married a nice lady called Penny, and settled down to have two sons. Currently he is teaching in a school in the English countryside, whilst practicing the erstwhile religion of Quakerism. LYNN: WOOLWORTHS CARE OF LIFE Lynn married her now husband, Russ, when she was 19 years old. By 21 she was involved in a mobile library. And then, a few years later, when this profession was abolished because of budgetary cuts, she managed to get a job in a library, before becoming a helper at this place of learning, plus with her two daughters and three grandchildren. Life is good for Lynn. JOHN: BULGARIA OR BUST John knew of his Bulgarian origins ever since he was at boarding school. However, I am sure that he would not have been able to foresee how his own ethnicity curbed his future whilst he was studying to become a barrister quite a few years later. He married a Bulgarians Ambassadors daughter named Clair at 35. Plus he has also dedicated himself to perusing charitable ventures in his parental homeland. ANDREW: LAWYERS R US Just like his school friend, John, Andrew spent the majority of his adolescent years studying the legal profession. Though, unlike John, at the age of 28, Andrew married a nice Yorkshire lass called Jane, had two children, and is now living in very eco-friendly surroundings in the English countryside. &nbsp; TONY: JOCKEY TURNED CABBIE As a kid Tony wanted to be a Jockey. And although he was able to fulfill this dream for a short while at least, by the age of 28 he became a cab-driver, had two daughters, and moved to Essex from East London. At the moment Tony is living in sunny Spain with his family, occasionally popping back home to reminisce and do a spot of work. &nbsp; THE REVIEW: Now last review (click here for review) I promised you some facts about the man behind this series, Michael Apted. Well, here they are: (1) Michael was born in Alesbury, Buckinghamshire, in 1941. He has been married twice and has had two children. (2) The first 'Seven Up' program was not directed by Mr Apted, he was just a researcher for the Granada televisions series that broadcast this program 'World in Action'. Canadian director, Paul Almond, directed it instead. It was meant to have been a 'one-off' special. (3) In 2003, Michael was elected as the president of the director's guild of America. (4) Mr Apted was involved with selecting the fourteen children' for this show, all of them had to represent a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds in Britain at that time, with the presumption that each child's class would predetermine their future. (5) Since 2002, he has been a member of the documentary branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. (6) Unbeknown to Michael at the time, since 1973, other countries have taken the concept behind this documentary, and converted it to their own socio-economic leanings. For example: Australia [Gilliam Armstrong], Beligum [Paul Jambers], Canada [Janis Lundman], Czech Republic [Helena Trestikova], France [Michel Fresnel], Germany [Winfried Junge], Denmark [Årgang], Japan [Unknown], The Netherlands [Bijna volwassen], South Africa [Angus Gibson], Sweden [Rainer Hartleb], Russia [Sergei MiroshCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLADid you know that the premise of this series was taken from a quote stated by famed Spanish Jesuit, Ignatius Loyola?

Or maybe something sung by Writer: Cullen Bunn; Artist: Panoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) [ HEAD SALE ]&nbsp; Alas, Doctor Rot is back. And he looks like a complete prat. Logan agrees with me. The X-Men eats flees with me. Whilst the rest of the Marvel Universe listens to 'Take That'. Or maybe something sung by Writer: Cullen Bunn; Artist: Paul Pelletier; and Publisher: Marvel Comics in April 2012. Because they do sound similar. So what’s the STORY morning glory? Part two of 'Rot' reminds me never to look a gift horse in the mouth. It just might bite my face off and then spit out the brains. Well, I am sorry to say that Wolverine is in very deep doo-doo at the moment. The police are searching for him because he has been identified as a suspect associated to a string of murders. And worst of all, he knows who is behind it. Doctor Rot. Therefore, whilst the detectives associated with his case interview people affiliated with Logan, like the teachers at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, and his ex-girlfriend, Melita Garner. Logan himself follows a trail right to Dr Rot's front door, care of Rott's Dad and a couple of Hillbillies with very discernible attributes. However, Logan's confrontation with the Hillbillies does not pan out too well for him at all. Because he is strangely overpowered and then strapped by Rot's request. Sh*t. To be continued...&nbsp;&nbsp; What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? I found Doctor Rot's closing remarks to this story like something out of the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'... 'I'm going to help you. I'm going to remind you who you are. After all, you are part of my family now. Or you soon will be'. Half of me thought he would end this sentence with 'Lets do the Time Warp Again!'. Wouldn't that be great? What was the BEST thing about this issue? I really enjoyed the dual strand detective&nbsp;vibe this tale had. One strand was dedicated to the police's search for Wolverine. Whilst the other strand was dedicated to Wolverines search for Doctor Rot.&nbsp; Very simple. Very nice to read. And very synchronistic in tone. What was the WORST thing about this issue? I was not too keen on how Wolverine was overpowered so easily when he first encountered Baylee Ann, Charlie, and that scrawny looking one with the knives. It was as if he rushed into things too quickly, without really thinking about what could happen to him. Not like Logan at all, huh? Or maybe it is? What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: For me, the highlight to this tale was the section where Wolverine spoke to Rot's Dad. In many ways it reminded me of a seventies horror flick, where a detective of some kind goes into a decrepit house and finds something he was not expecting at all. Alternate and conventional at the same time. Class mix. ART: Paul Pelletier really stepped up the gore stakes in this issue I can tell you. I particularly liked the scene where Rot's Dad's head was carved out, plus the way Wolverines eye protruded out a bit when he was on the mend during his battle with 'the cousins'. Bold yet daring. You've got to love it. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? BAYLEE ANN: Now for this pretty piece of trailer trash, you need an actress that is physically appealing but vacant behind the eyes. What about Kristanna Loken? She did just this in 'Terminator 3'. SCRAWNY LOOKING SOD: Just have a look at Billy Bob Thornton. And tell me that he does not look like a man who would carry around knives and bear a grudge. If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? If You Go Down In The Wood's Today Wolverine With Cut You In Half. If You Go Down In The Wood's Today Doctor Rot With Give You A Bath.&nbsp; Now Die.&nbsp; If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; Again with this current creative team, I am getting a seventies flavour to their work, tinged with an eighties attitude about their vibrancy.

Nick Brnoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) Have you ever wondered why some people are kinky whilst other people aren't? You know what I mean by this, right? Normal looking guys and girls who have the need within themselves, to be spanked, stitched up, and then used as... errr... ashtrays. Nick Broomfield knows what I mean by this, as seen in this 84 minute documentary made in 1996. Fetishes THE STORY: This documentary is Nick Broomfield's venture into how fetishistic behavior affects those who are involved in this industry, plus those who wish to subscribe to it. Now this feature starts off by presenting a number of kitch archival clips, which manage to illustrate this form of 'taboo subject' in a rather tame manner. After that, Nick and his crew visit a high class bondage house called 'Pandora's Box', that is located on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York. Please allow me just say that the very pretty owner of this establishment is called Mistress Raven, and that she allows her mistresses to demonstrate to Nick, with some help from their clients, some of the services they have on offer. Here is a brief run down on how this documentary plays out: INDUCTION: There are fifteen mistresses in total employed at this plush place of work, and they charge $175 per season, depending on what a client wishes to have done to them. All of their clients have to fill out application &nbsp;form first, which will describe what they like / don't like. And in turn they are given a 'safe word' just in case their 'seasons' are too rough for them.&nbsp; SHOE FETISH: One of the clients explains to one of the mistresses on the telephone, how he is aroused by stinky and smelly shoes, and how he attempts to get this item of footwear off of people on the street. SLAVES: Many of the clients want to be submissive slaves to the mistresses in Pandora's Box. Generally, this entails a form of humiliation, both physical and verbal, as well as the clients having to wear an item of clothing that is either confining or flamboyant in appearance. Also, the slaves run a number of errands for the mistresses too; be it domesticated, ritual, or otherwise. RUBBER: Many of the high powered clients like to be encased in a custom-built rubber suit, and then controlled by the mistresses in a very domineering fashion. BEHAVIORAL MODIFICATION: Some clients like powerful women to dominate them in a diverse and surreal way. Be it in a clinical setting, be it in a medieval setting, or be it in an exotic setting. WRESTLING: This one on one wrestling match sees a client and his mistress do what it says on the tin. Most of the times anyway.&nbsp; INFANTILISM: Certain clients enjoy being treated like an infant by the mistresses, and they are dressed up accordingly, whilst being incrementally abased at the same time. SOCIAL-POLITICAL: There are many different forms of social-political fetishes on offer. For example, a white policeman calls up Pandora's Box, and explains to the mistress how he beat up a black suspect in the morning, and then tried to repent for his brash behaviour later that same night, by conjuring up fantasies of the man he did wrong,getting aroused in the process. Also, on a similar note, there are ethnic people who visit the mistresses, and ask to be humiliated by them on racial grounds. One genocidal chap even wanted to have his head stuck down the toilette, and treated like... errr... you know what I mean. &nbsp;&nbsp; THE PLAYERS: Both at work and at home, Nick manages to get to interview some of the mistresses, and tries to gauge from them if their chosen profession has affected them in any way shape or form. Plus in addition to this, Nick also manages to get to interview some of the clients as well, ascertaining why they feel the need to subscribe to this form of 'relaxation', and how they feel after the event. THE REVIEW: First off, please allow me just say that 'Fetishes' isn't what I would call a pornographic or exploitative documentary, although a couple of tit's and dick's are on display in a veryCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLAHave you ever wondered why some people are kinky whilst other people aren't?

However, like everything else in Matt's life at the moment, this is not your usual run of the mill date. Oh no.&nbsp; Kirsten blindfolds herself so she can gauge if Matt is Daredevil or not. Whereas Matt hires Spiderman to watch over them just in case someone attacks. Now during their time together, Matt tells Kirsten a story of times past, about when he and Foggy first met a College. But&nbsp;it appears that at this juncture in both Nelson and Murdock lives, things were not very nice for either of them really. Matt had financial problems paying for his school fees. Whilst Foggy had a problem with a hard-line tutor, Leopold York, who kicks him off the course for plagiarism. Foggy was innocent though, and Matt tries his best to prove it too. Trust me; this is a really nice tale. Unlike a member of the crime syndicate, the Black Spectre, who suddenly threatens Matt and Kirsten as soon as he completes this tale! To be continued... What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? Now most of the dialogue in this issue was a real joy to read. But I liked Matt's little introduction about Foggy the best... 'I hated him.&nbsp; I called him Foggy not because he was dim - he was actually a brilliant student. But because to my ears he sounded like a human foghorn'. I can relate to that. What was the BEST thing about this issue? There was so much about this issue to love, that I honestly do not know where to begin. But I suppose I can start by saying that I did like the idea that conceptually this issue was more about Matt and Foggy, than it was about Matt and Kirsten - which was a nice twist. Then I really did enjoy all of the little visual nods and winks to continuity - like the 'Daredevil Bra' and the 'Bobble-head Devil'. Plus I have to mention that the whole thing was just a kick to read from beginning to end - it was a blooming smashing story. What was the WORST thing about this issue? Now if I did have a small-little-minuscule gripe with this tale, it would have to be that Spideman's disappearance was explained away too conveniently by the bad-guy. That's all though. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: It is very difficult for me to single out just one thing which I thought was the most creative aspect about this yarn. But at a push, maybe the 'Daredevil Bra' really stood out for me (in more ways than one, hint-hint). ART: In my opinion Chris Samnee is an artist of the same calibre than Michael Lark. He has an earthy and noir-ish tone that suits an every-man story more than a dynamic wham, bam, thank you mam type of a tale. Where this particular issue is concerned though, I did like his non-distracting pace and imaginative layouts. Especially the close-up shots of the characters faces. They were very expressive.&nbsp; &nbsp; If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? KIRSTEN: For this hot DA, you need a foxy babe who looks like she would flash her tits at a blind-man. Oh! I know. Nicole Scherzinger from that band that dances a lot. She has all the correct equipment me thinks. LEOPOLD: Now as soon as I caught a glimpse of this surly teacher, I thought of Hugh Laurie from 'House'. But no. He might be too young for this part. Max von Sydow from 'The Seventh Seal' on the other hand, he'd be perfect. If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Laughing. Flirting. Reminiscing.

Was it something to do with an Eskimo accidentally stepping on to his own knife and fork, and then skidding off into infinity and beyond? Err - maybe? Though I'm sure that these guys know better than me. Director: John Gordon; and Actors: Will Ferrel and Jon Heder. Particularly for 93-minutes in 2007. Blades of Glory THE STORY: Welcome one and all to the wonderful world of ice skating. Here you will find bold characters like orphan, Jimmy MacElroy (John Heder) - a prim and proper performer with a blondish swagger, and a very prissy attitude to match. Plus there’s someone like sex-addict, Chazz Michaels (Will Ferrel), too - a lone wolf with a brash attitude that is only surpassed by his own outlandish antics upon the ice. However, what do you think happens when these two diametrically opposite figure-skaters tie at the World Winter Sport Games finals? Correct - they argue- they fight - and they both get banned from ice-skating for life. Sh*t! Now three years after this frosty confrontation, both Chazz and Jimmy find themselves pursuing a completely different career path and lifestyle altogether. Chazz is a fat drunken wizard who performs to tiny-tots on a Ice Capades show. Whereas Jimmy is a nice shoe clerk in a branch of 'Foot Locker'. Ha! But not for that much longer! You see, one day, an old fan of Jimmy’s, Hector (Nick Swardson), tells him about a strange loophole in the ban - one that will allows him to compete in ‘pair’ figure-skating instead of 'singles' figure-skating. In turn, Jimmy goes off to see his old coach, Robert (Craig T. Nelson), and asks him if he can somehow help him use this information to his advantage, just so he can get back into the game again. But is Robert able to do this fro Chazz? Especially since the time frame available to enter the new ice-skating competition is so near? Also, who will become Jimmy's new partner? No. Not Chazz surely! They'd obviously clash again, and get thrown in jail. Yes - they do that - and on live television no less. Nevertheless, this brash incident thrusts Jimmy and Chazz into a strange pact, joined together with both blade and bravado to enter the figure-staking contest as a ‘male pair’. Granted, at first, they both think that this is a dreadful idea - well, they are two men who hate each others guts. Still, Robert is a somewhat crafty coach by nature, and with the use of subtle goading and cleaver word play, they both agree - err - in a round about way. Now this agreement sets a course for both Chazz and Jimmy to live together – practice together – learn how to dance together – perform together – and obviously, over time, bond together as friends. But wait a God damned minute! What about their new arch rivals, brother and sister combo Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg (Will Arnett and Amy Poehler)!&nbsp;Plus their put-upon sister, Katie (Jenna Fischer), too? Are they able to throw the proverbial spanner in the works? Because Chazz does start to develop a bit of a crush on Kate don't you know. Maybe. And that is why what next transpires is like scraping a steel blade across your partners neck. As contests are fought - deals are bought - love is in the air - and don't ice-skaters have such lovely hair? THE REVIEW: Conceptually, 'Blades of Glory' is a sports comedy set in the same vein as Zoolander (click here for review) and Dodgeball (click here for review). Plus, in my most humble opinion, is a much better comedy too. You see,&nbsp;at first glance,&nbsp;although Will Ferrel, Jon Heder, comedy, and ice-skating, may all sound like a very strange combination for a film. When you throw into the mix some&nbsp;broad humor, a basic plot, simple execution, and a sport that can be both dangerous and elegant at the same time, what you get is four very different elements that I really-really enjoy watching&nbsp;(yes, that does include ice-skating).

Writer: Geoff Johnnoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) [ SINKING SALE ]&nbsp; Abin Sur was a dirty old git. He used to play about quite a bit. There was a lady in Hong Kong. Plus one who looked like King Kong. Who had a tash that was made out of spit. Well, that is what these guys told me. Writer: Geoff Johns; Artist: Doug Mahnke; and Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. So what’s the STORY morning glory? Although he is not in it, part three of 'The Secret of the Indigo Tribe' is strangely an Abin Sur focussed issue. Well, everything that is happening to Hal and Sinestro at the moment, is somehow related to him one way or another. For example: Whilst in the thrall of the Indigo Tribe, Sinestro recollects that he once banged Abin's sister before she snuffed it. As soon as Hal breaks free from his confinement, he bumps into one of Abin's old pals, Natromo, whom explains to him how Mister Sur formed this purple faction group in the first place. Plus why their formation was to topple the Guardians of the Universe. In the past, all the members of 'the Tribe' were once bad guys captured by Abin, and now have been 'woken up' by Natromo when hears some very bad news from Hal. Sh*t! Nok! To be continued... What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? I liked Natromo explanation of 'Nok' to Hal...&nbsp; 'Roughly translated to your language, "Nok" mean's "compassion be with you". Nok is also the name of our world, uneducated one'. Great! I am sure that this new 'chat-up' line of mine will work even better for me now! NOK! What was the BEST thing about this issue? There were two aspects about this issue that I really did like. Firstly, even though this was an en exposition type tale, I enjoyed the fact that it did not come across as an exposition type tale. The Yoda like Natromo was a great device to relay the back-story via, because it gave this yarn some personality and flavor. &nbsp; Plus secondly, I liked Natromo. He is the type of wise doddery old character that I have wanted to see on this book for quite some time now. Please don't kill him off guys. What was the WORST thing about this issue? I found it slightly hard to believe that Natromo did not know that Abin was dead, or that the 'Blackest Night' already happened. OK, I understand that he is a bit of a reclusive character. But I am afraid to say that this particular aspect about his personality wasn't expanded upon to gauge how reclusive. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Listen, this may sound a bit weird, but I did get a kick when I found out that Sinestro had a fling with Abin's sister. It's like hearing Darth Vader had an affair with Obi Wan Kenobi's Foxy Auntie. Strange, yet intriguing somehow.&nbsp; ART: I did enjoy how the planet 'Nok' was presented in a very stark an earthy manner. It was as if this barren wasteland was designed by a Goth with a fetish for all things Aboriginal and purple. Moreover, the panelled pacing to this story was very tranquil in tone as well. Giving it &nbsp;that 'Silent Movie' flavor in places.&nbsp; &nbsp; If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? NATROMO: Good or bad, as soon as I saw this pug faced shaman, I though of Mel Brooks in the film Spaceballs. No. Not President Skroob. Yogurt. The golden face dwarf that was one half used car salesman, one half maths teacher. Good match, right? ABIN'S SISTER: OK, so what pretty actress keeps on falling for the bad boys, huh? Yes. Correct. Winona Ryder. She is still as pretty and as versatile as she ever was. And I could see her painted from head to toe in... in... err... what colour is that, huh? Extreme Pink? If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Abin Sur Is At The Centre Of The Universe. Shame He's Dead. He Would Have Liked It.&nbsp; If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; Conceptually this tale was a tale about a tale, agreed?

'The Godfather' series of films was based on the Italian crime families of New York. The bio-pic 'Ray' was based on the life and times of Johnny Cash. And the 'Amityville' horror franchise was based on a ride at Euro-Disney. My buddy Faceless knows what I am talking about. Here, check out a conversation we had just the other day, whilst were were discussing a movie he's currently devising. &nbsp; Hostage to the Devil 1) In your own words Faceless, how would you describe your web-site, whoismrtom.com? &nbsp;Its frightening. Eye-opening. Its also a protest, a rebellion -- you have no idea how hard I've fought to get this footage out there... its been a real struggle. When I first set out to make this film it was not about "Mr. Tom" -- it was originally about the state of modern exorcism. Many startling things were revealed to me; how prevalent it is, how the church has refused to acknowledge how its been changing and what those changes mean for all of us... of course the most fascinating of all these things was the slow reveal of a man known as "Mr. Tom"... what I've learnt about him, what he does, his gift... it changes everything. 2) How would you describe your documentary, ‘Eli Dante’? And what inspired you to create it? &nbsp;It’s a little like... Grizzly Man meets The Exorcist. Bowling for Columbine meets The Evil Dead. The Last Exorcism meets Men in Black. Paranormal Activity meets Wall-E. Its absolutely mind boggling the things I'm being introduced too. Its difficult to label at this point, I'm just spending as much time with Tom and Eli as I possibly can... getting a feel for the lives they lead. Its... remarkable. 3) Have you had any personal experiences with exorcism / possessions yourself? &nbsp;Yes. And well - to say the least - I'm EXTREMELY lucky to be alive. The worst of my experiences has been documented on our website. My leg is still scarred. I'm not entirely sure what it was I witnessed but Eli has promised me answers; provided I can gather the resources necessary (funds!) to get this documentary off the ground the public at large will get answers too. Immediately after Tom attacked my camera a car drove up - like this old Black tractor - and I was forced into the car and taken to a public park about twenty minutes away where a very agitated male nurse. I forgot his name. But he knew Tom and Eli very well, tended to my leg and stitched me up. No matter how much I yelled and screamed everybody stayed quiet… nobody spoke to me directly. Tom and Eli did their best to make sure my camera was broken; kicking it, smashing it. Neither of them really knew how to handle it, or what to look for. As if the technology was somewhat foreign to them - they never got a hold of the memory card inside. Once my leg had been stitched-up I was driven to a bus station, shoved out of the car and told to forget everything I'd seen and leave them alone. Prior to this whole experience though, I only knew the concept of exorcisms and possession academically. At one time I studied at a seminary for a brief period, as it was my intention at that time to become a Priest. But that didn't work out. 4) What piece of music, movie, or object, would you say your movie was like, and why? &nbsp;Louis Armstrong is Tom's favorite artist. At least as far as I can tell. When I think of Tom I hear his music. 5) If you could assign a smell to your style of story, what odor would that be, and again, why?&nbsp;Strange question. But if I must -- maybe new car Smell? Because Tom and Eli drive this amazing classic car that they keep in mint condition. I mean I’m in love with the car. Somehow they've preserved that scent; the clean leather, the disinfectant; their air filter must be made of rose petals. It’s really something. But when I'm not in the car... I'm usually smelling dead chickens. Don't ask.

And Brain-damaged buggers. These are three things that have consistently been linked together in infamy. Well, if you have ever been to this type of boozed laden-ed lo-cal before, you will always see a boozer and a brain-damaged bugger. Heck, if you don't believe me, then why don't you watch this film! One Directed by Edgar Wright, and Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Dylan Moran, and Bill Nighy. It was made in 2004, and lasts for 99 minutes. Shaun of the Dead THE STORY: Is twenty something sales-manager, Shawn (Simon Pegg), someone you would call a 'people's person'? Well, his flatmates, Ed and Pete (Nick Frost and Peter Serafinowicz), thinks that he's alright - although they don't like each other. His girlfriend, Kate (Kate Ashfield), thinks that he is a bit of a prat - and wants to give him the old heave-hoe. Plus that dead b*tch sauntering around in his garden, doesn't really think - she just wants to KILL! You see, over the last day or so, Shaun has noticed that there is something weird happening in the world around him. A strange sound here, plus a wry glimpse there. However, it is only when he and his pal, Nick, spot this dead b*tch pissing about in the garden, that he finally sees the light. OK - that - plus hearing upon the television that London has been overrun by ‘a perculiar epidemic’, which is causing a strange ‘zombie-like' sensation to all in sundry. Now obviously panic stricken about this strange turn of events - kind of - both Shaun and Ed go bonkers, and slap, kick, punch, and bash, all of the zombies who cross their path, until they are able to reach salvation. For instance:&nbsp;The b*tch in the garden, POW! Some fat bloke standing next to her, THUNK! Their flatmate Pete, BOOM! Plus a number of others ugly sods as well, ZIP! Before they jump into Pete’s car, and drive to... SCREECH... Shawn's Mum's house. Oh... OK. Granted, not 'salvation' per-say. But a location where Nick and Shawn can pick up Shawn's Mum and Stepfather, Barbra and Philip (Penelope Wilton and Bill Nighy), as they then go to his girlfriends flat next, Liz, pick her up too, plus her pal’s, David and Dianne (Dylan Moran and Lucy Davis). Oh... lovely. OK? So now what? Salvation? Right? Err - kind of. Because Shawn likes to think that there next port of call is some type of safe-haven - the Winchester pub. But Liz don't. David doesn't. And Philip doesn't either. Plus neither do any of the pug-faced zombies whom camp outside this drinking establishment, whom stop them from entering. Oh... sh*t! Though I suppose Phillip can't, huh? Especially since he has been turned into a zombie himself. Moreover, by this point in their adventure together, Shawn and the gang are feeling as shattered a the pain of glass on the Winchester pub, when they eventually venture inside, CRASH! Still, that's most probably why what next transpires is a right somber affair all in all. As human's moan - zombies groan - people die - and the whole wide world does not lie. Kind of. THE REVIEW: There comes a time in everybody's life when you watch a film and then say to yourself ‘Boy-oh-boy, that was really good!’. And do you know what? That is precisely what happened to me when I first saw 'Shawn of the Dead'. Well, you have to take into consideration that I am somewhat familiar with Simon's, Nick’s, and Edgar’s, work on the television series, 'Spaced', you see. So all those years ago when I first heard that they were going to make the 'big jump' to the 'big screen' together, I could have guessed that this was the sort of thing that they were going to do. The movie pastiches. The verbal humor. The mix-mash of styles. Plus the urban settings. All of these aspects stage this flick within a universe that is both relatable, and surreal, at the same time. Here, check out some of my filmic-facts to see what I mean: (1) Many of the 'zombies' were fans recruited via the 'Spaced Out' fan site [www.spaced-out.org.uk], and were paid £1 a day if they were not used.(2COMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLABritain.

It stars the talk show host Jimmy O Fallon. Robin does not like it. In fact just to spite it. He drinks just under a gallon. True. As told to me by Writer: Peter Tomasi; Artinoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) [ TAKE THAT DISCOUNT ]&nbsp; There is a new TV show called America's Got Talon. It stars the talk show host Jimmy O Fallon. Robin does not like it. In fact just to spite it. He drinks just under a gallon. True. As told to me by Writer: Peter Tomasi; Artist: Lee Garbett; and Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. Or was it Batman? So what’s the STORY morning glory? 'Robin Hears A Hoo' is a Damien solo tale that impregnates the brat wonder into 'Night Of Owls' cross-over event. You see, after hearing Alfred's distress signal from Wayne Manor, this tiny titan is instructed to save Major General Benjamin Burrows from a Talon attack whilst he is out and about on manoeuvres, with the army. Thankfully Robin finds the General just in time, and tells him what is going on just before all hell breaks loose, BANG! Robin runs. Generals limp. Talons talks. Armies... errr... arm? All of which results in a resolution and a back-story that will knock your block off, CHOP! Physically and emotionally of course. What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? I liked the scene when Robin took charge of the situation, and said to the reluctant army men prior to the Talons subsequent attack... 'This kid read Clausewitz and Jomini at the age of six while you were still trying to figure out what buttons to press on x-box, you imbecile. Now all of you - follow my orders! The Talon will not be in a fixed position, and neither would we'. Very Dirty Harry come Glee, isn't it? What was the BEST thing about this issue? Damien's recognition that he and the Talon share similar origins was a very cleaver way of connecting them both together in essence, if not in fact. It was something I never even thought about until he stated this. Very serendipitous. What was the WORST thing about this issue? By in large this was an action and adventure type tale that had a rather plodding pace to it. Also, their was a very Scooby Doo Vibe before the end, when the Talon explained to the General why he was going to kill him, just before he attempted to do so. A very groan worthy delay if ever I saw one. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Alas, there was not that much in this story which I would call creative. Basically it is a 'save the victim' pretext, with a bit of back-story thrown in for good measure. Although the back-story on its own was a very nice read all in all. And had its own encapsulated flavor within the 'bigger picture'. ART: As much as I enjoyed Lee Garbett work on this issue, due to the nature of this 'event', it did feel very 'stand-in' to me. Now that is not to say that I did not like it at all. Because I did. I thought his manga-esque artwork suited a Robin solo-exploit hand's down. It's just that it came across a mite disjointed where an earthy tale was concerned. &nbsp;&nbsp; If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? MAJOR GENERAL BENJAMIN BURROWS: Just because it would look funny if he was saved by a kid, I would like to see 'Escape from New York's' Kurt Russell play this major on the run. Can't you see him scowling at the small sod? THE SOLDIER ROBIN TALKS BACK TO: OK, for this role, you have to have an actor who you can see being told off by a kid in a mask. Hey! What about Sam's brother, Ted Raimi? He looks like the type of a chap that kids want to shout at. If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Run Away. A Man With A Mask Is Going To Monologue. If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; From a visual and textural stand-point this, story was a mixture of Predator meets Scooby Doo. You know the type of thing. Bad guy wants to kill someone due to a preconceived agenda. And some pesky kid manages to stop them from doing so before the end credits roll. Just like... Or maybe not! FINAL thoughts... To be completely honest with you, I am a bit disappointed with this issue really.

And that is why I admire my mate Clarence with what he has managed to do with his great pop-culture web site - Red Headed Mule. Just the other day he was telling me about what a kick he gets out of it. Here, check out this conversation we had whilst repeatedly punching a politician in the face with they're own ego. Pop Culture Encyclopedia 1) In your own words how would you describe your website, RedHeadedMule? It's a pop culture site with lots of geeky articles. RHM doesn't stick to one area: there are comics reviews, movie reviews, commentary about various things. I also like to do theme weeks: a few weeks ago it was game shows then Marvel's Avengers, and soon there may be more themes. 2) What are your own origins, Clarence, and what path did you take to get where you are today? &nbsp;I've been dabbling with HTML since 1998. I made web sites about pro wrestling, Atlanta Falcons (who were Super Bowl bound that season) and I've also done some consulting. Last year, I also wanted to have a site that entertains and amuses people. I decided to start on a free web host and use content managing software I was comfortable with. Early this year I decided to go dot-com. At this point, I was only updating my Twitter and Facebook. Thankfully I had enough good ideas along with a helpful friend, Roshawn, to re-start the site on a better and paid web host. 3) Where did the name 'RedHeadedMule', and please describe your 'Redhead Mule of the Day'. &nbsp;For those not familiar with American idioms, the name's taken from "beaten like a red-headed stepchild" and "beaten like a government mule". However, at my site there is NO endorsement of abusing anyone or any mules. The name's just me being weird and too clever. 'Redhead Mule of the Day', is a spotlight on a famous redhead/ginger with a video of a mule or something called "mule" appended at the end. These pages are not for bashing / hating anyone. Also, there will be no political or historically infamous figures featured. Mules don't get primary focus because there aren't many famous mules in pop culture and there are many beloved (and photogenic) gingers. 4) What piece of music, movie, or object, would you say your website was like, and why? For what I want out of the site, it's loosely played jazz music. I enjoy looking for ways to tease the reader. 5) If you could assign a smell to your site, what odor would that be, and again, why?&nbsp; Imagine a well-groomed mule that groomed, bathed, dabs some cologne/perfume, then proudly goes to then becomes the center of attention at a party. Hopefully the resulting smell is pleasant. 6) If your site was a ‘singleton’ looking for a ‘date’, who would that date be and why?&nbsp; I don't sexualize web sites, but the closest thing to a date would be major search engines, especially Google. Having search engines index your site means you've made it. That's how a web site "gains experience" to build readership, so to speak. 7) If there was one thing that you would want your readers to gauge from your site, what would that be an why? That reading RHM is a worthwhile enough that readers will return to the site and also share links to articles. Why? Because I like to know that my efforts are not in vain. So there you have it dear reader, my mate&nbsp;Clarence and his pop-culture site, RedHeadedMule. Now when you have the time please give it a click or three. Plus don't don't forget that you can follow this site on twitter, facebook, and gplus. Trust me, you won't be sorry.&nbsp; COMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLASometimes it's a good thing to have some well focused direction with your work - up preferably.

Well, last week, DC Comicsnoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) Now what do the following five heroes have in common? Obsidian. Tasmanian Devil. Starman. Bunker. And Batwoman. No! They don't all play table tennis with a baseball bat! Instead, they're all heroes of the homosexual persuasion. Well, last week, DC Comics have announced that one of their 'major icons' will be coming 'out of the closet'. So I just want you to have in mind what has come before, just as I now tell you who may be this next 'super shirt-lifter' . Here, check out my top ten candidates to wear the crown of fabulous. Roleplaying in the DC Universe 10) Nightwing: It is pretty safe to say that Dick Grayson has never had any luck with the opposite sex. Barbra. Kory. Raya. And whoever else he has been 'intimate' with in the DCnU. Maybe he will look at Bruce in a different way now, huh? A more alternate way. Hmmm. 9) Bunker: OK. I know that he is already gay. But maybe DC is doing a double bluff? And they are actually going to make this flamboyant hero into a more conservative hero? At least this way he wouldn't have to wear that silly purple costume anymore. 8) Hawkman: Well, he has a lot of feathers on his costume, so maybe old parrot-face just decided to go with the flow, and give in to his more non-pretentious side. At least this way he would be less angry? 7) Spiderman: Listen, I have not forgotten that Peter Parker is a Marvel hero. Nonetheless, this might be a good way of DC trying to sabotage his up and coming 'Amazing' movie, whilst giving themselves a 'Perez Hilton' type credos in the process. 6) Guy Gardner: All of those years of surely behavior and pent-up frustration could be explained away if Guy 'liked the c*ck'. Also, it would additionally justify why he tries to macho-up a bit too much at times. Repression. Repression. Repression. 5) Wonder Woman: DC have 'masculated' Diana quite a lot since the DCnU began. She's tougher. She is more harder edged. She is very stoic. Heck, all they have to do next is slap her into a pair of dungarees and sit her next to Batwoman for a couple of hours. I'd like to see that? Wouldn't you? 4) Green Arrow: Since DC have made 'Mr Queen' into a pale imitation of the man he once was, I suppose making him 'a gay' would not ruin him all that much. At least that way he can think of more imaginative ways of making his arrows fabulous. 3) Superman:&nbsp;Could the last son of Krypton be the first Son of Elton John?&nbsp;He has removed his underwear. He has added a Beatles collar to his tunic. He looks like a nice boy. And I am sure that living on a farm has broadened his horizons. So it's possible. 2) J'onn J'onzz: His hero-name is 'Martian Manhunter'. MAN-Hunter. Not PERSON-Hunter. Get it? Maybe this slight twist to old green genes will come about after he catches his fellow Stormwatch 'hero-homo's', Midnighter and Apollo, in a very compromising position, prompting him to then decide to show him his other muscle. 1) Aquaman: Many years ago there was a rumor floating around DC that Arthur Curry would be a homosexual hero. True. Maybe now the men behind the doors are going to put this into action, making this Curry hotter than usual. So there you have it folks, my top ten list of possible poofter heroes. It's good news that DC are deciding to change their status-quo in this way. I just hope that the other heroes and the public can see it this way as well...

It is a reference which bestows luck into a second instance compared to the first. What? No? Then I suggest that you splash some water on your face, eat after midnight, avoid direct sun-light, and watch this film Directed by Joe Dante; and Starring: Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, John Glover&nbsp;and Christopher Lee. It was made in 1990 and lasts for 106 minutes. Gremlins 2 - The New Batch THE STORY: Now Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) thought that his brand new life in New York City would be a good thing for him and his girlfriend, Kate Beringer (Phoebe Cates). But no. The 'smart' building they both work in is full of glitches. Billy's boss, Marla Bloodstone (Haviland Morris), is a b*tch. The chief of security, Forster (Robert Picardo), is a tyrant to say the least. Plus by chance of fate, Billy discovers that this old fury pal, Gizmo, is in the science lab belonging to Doctor Catheter (Christopher Lee). So what does Billy do about Gizmo? Take him home before anything happens to him? No - he can't - because Marla forces him to go out on a 'business lunch' with her - and he has to get Kate to take him home instead. However, before Kate is able to do this, by mistake, Gizmo gets splashed with some water, causing the little sod to replicate in the process. Worst still, is that some of these replicated 'Gremlins' throw Gizmo down the rubbish shoot before they scavenge for food, whilst a rather wired looking Gremlin gets taken home by Kate by accident. Moreover, once Billy comes home and recognises' that the Gremlin Kate has taken isn't Gizmo, they panic, and both of them run back to their place of work to sort matters out themselves.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ooops! Big mistake. Well, when Billy initially tries to prevent Gizmo getting wet again, he gets detained for the night by the police. And the following day when he then tries to explain to Forster how dangerous the Gremlins can be - BANG - too late. Yep, I am afraid to say that during the interim, the replicated Gremlins have eaten some food after midnight, and are now the grotesque little b*stards that Billy still recollects from all those years ago. Plus to make matters even more dire, some of these ugly critters get into Doctor Catheter lab, and enhance their abilities to a rather strange level! Bat-Gremlin - Electro-Gremlin - Talking-Gremlin - Tomato-Gremlin - Spider-Gremlin - Lady-Gremlin - plus many-many more. All of them go on a rampage, causing havoc in their own amiable way.&nbsp; Now can anybody do anything about this? Maybe Grandpa Fred (Robert Prosky)? Because he does have a Chinese cameraman in toe. Or what about Billy old neighbor from out of town, Murray Futterman (Dick Miller)? He's seems like a do or die kind of a guy. Or better yet, what about the visionary behind Billy's place of work, Daniel Clamp (John Glover)? As he does have very shiny hair. Possibly? Especially with Billy, Kate, Marla, and Gizmo by their sides. And that is why what next transpires is a right stain on the environment I can tell you. As plans do a double take - neighbours get a recipe to bake a new cake - Gremlins get decked - and Clamp has found a new project. Who wants a kiss? Come on. Gimme a kiss. THE REVIEW: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now before I give you my 411 on 'Gremlins 2 - A New Batch' please allow me to squirt some facts in your face first. (1) When 'Gremlins 1' director, Joe Dante, initially refused to make a sequel, the producers then planned to make a second film by committee, and suggested that they should set it in such places as Las Vegas or even Mars. Thankfully, this never came to pass. (2) The original ending had Billy father, Randall Pelzer, giving Gizmo a special wet suit, so that 'the problems' would never arise again. This scene was never shot. (3) At one point during post production, a combat-type character wasCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLAHave you ever heard of the expression "Second times a charm"?

Deadshot does not care. Harley Quinn washes her hair. And King Shark wants to eat Lights thigh. Or maybe he can nibble at Writer: Adam Glass; Artists: Fernando Dagnino and Ken Lashley; plus Published by DC Comics in April 2012. So what’s the STORY morning glory? This part of the Resurrection Man cross-over event called 'Dead Man Walking', is in fact like a Dead Man running, punching, zapping and jumping for his very life. To elaborate... Amanda Waller had her suspicions that something might be off with the Suicides Squads next mission. You see, all they had to do was kill some schmuck called Mitch Shelly, before transporting him and his girl-pal, Kim, back to headquarters. Now at first this plan goes according to plan. Deadshot shoot's Mitch in the head, BANG! And Black-Spider transports both himself and Kim back to home base. ZAP! However, Mitch suddenly becomes reborn in death, and his second coming isn't very pleasing to our friendly pack of hired killers. He has electromagnetic powers!!! Sh*t! As soon as Mitch comes back from the dead, he decides to go biblical on the Suicide Squads ass. Prompting one and all to run like f*ck, or else get f*cked. Strangely enough, Harley is reborn as well back at HQ too. She's now Doctor Harleen Quinzel. To be continued in Resurrection Man #9. What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? I laughed at the exchange between Deadshot and Iceberg at the beginning of this tale. DEADSHOT: Iceberg, I need a vehicle. ICEBERG: I think that I can be better used than that. You know that I can turn anything I touch to ice. DEADSHOT: I'll remember that when I need a cold beer. Meanwhile, fetch me something that does not scream 'Superman, come get us'. Funny, right? What was the BEST thing about this issue? As ever with this series, a tonal thing happens to me whilst I am reading it. Where this issue is concerned, my mind is thrust back to those seventies pursuit movies, where the bad guys and the good guys all meld into one. Making black and white merge into shades of grey. A nice grey though. What was the WORST thing about this issue? This story started off with a bit of a jolt in its execution. It was as if began somewhere else (which it most probably did) and was just continuing the motion. Not a massive gripe - sure. And it did not hinder the story at all. But one worth mentioning all the same. Moreover, I wasn't too sure about that Iceberg chap. He came across as a disposable villain. Plus Amanda Waller's new character comes across more stubborn than she did previously - narrow minded even. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: There were two things that I did love about this tale. Firstly, Yo-Yo is back, Yippee! And secondly, I am not sure if Light snuffed it in this issue or not. It didn't feel as if she did, and left a question hanging in the air. I like questions. ART: The Suicide Squad splash page (as seen above) should be made into a poster. Fernando is a great artist, and I hope that he can stay on this title for as long as he can. He does 'dynamic' very well. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? MITCH: Just give Patrick Dempsey from 'Greys Anatomy' a 'new-do', and he would make for a really great man who can not die. Can't you see him now, zapping all of the nurses with his intense glair? ICEBERG: Shemar Moore from TV's 'Criminal Minds' has that alternate yet brooding look which screams - 'I can turn you into ice without breaking a sweat'. And he goes not even need to use a gun! If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Question: How Do You Kill A Man That Does Not Die? Answer: Run Away!!!!!!! If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; In many ways this tale reminds me of one of those quiz shows that keep's you guessing. You know the type of tCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLA[ SHH! HE'S BARGAINING ]&nbsp; Can Resurrection man truly die? Or is this something by the by? Deadshot does not care.

One minute you could be a pretty regular person with a pretty regular lifestyle. And the next minute you can be a hired assassin with a sexy dame by your side. True. Just look at this film to see what I mean. This comic book film Directed by Timur Bekmambetov; and Starring: James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, and Terence Stamp. It was made in 2008 and lasts for 110 minutes. Wanted THE STORY: Poor lowly accounts manager, Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy), is having a really bad time of it at the moment. For a start he is shot at by his reclusive father's killer, Cross (Thomas Kretschmann). He is then saved by a sexy female assassin called Fox (Angelina Jolie), who takes him to dead fathers well-spoken boss, Sloan (Morgan Freeman). Plus, on top of that, Sloan explains to Wesley that he has untapped potential within himself, and that he and his fraternity of assassins can teach him how to tap into this potential, so that he can avenger his fathers death. Cr*p! OK, so what is Wesley going to do about it, huh? Tell his own boss to f*ck off, slap his best-friend around the mouth with a keyboard because he is shagging his girlfriend, and then go to see Sloan to make him a new man? Errr? Yes. Why not? However, is this the right thing for Wesley to do? Train to be an assassin I mean. Because each and every member of this fraternity is very brutal to him you know. For example, the Repairman and the he Butcher (Marc Warren and Dato Bakhtadze) both beat him senseless until he can fight back. Fox pushes him onto of a subway train so that he can get used to unstable ground. Sloan goads him with his father's past life, just so he can learn about his legacy with the fraternity. Plus to top it all off, Wesley is coaxed to kill an unscrupulous business man, just so that he can test his own abilities in the field.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OK, so now is he ready? Is Wesley now Super-Wes? Well? Kind of. Though I have to admit, that it does not look that way when he accidentally kills a member of the fraternity when Cross attacks him. Nevertheless, Wesley does learn something from this disastrous turn of events, and manages to catch up with Cross with some reluctant help from arms-dealer, Pekwarsky (Terence Stamp). &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But, I am afraid to say, that this fateful confrontation does have a certain mind-shattering aftertaste. As you see, on the one hand, both Wesley and Fox are able to kill cross upon a moving train. Whilst, on the other hand, before Cross dies, he tells Wesley that Sloan's fraternity is a sham, and that he is in fact his... No. No saying. But I suppose that is why what next transpires is a right bullet fest all in all. As true tales are relayed - rat-bombs are laid - confrontations are brave and bold - and the eventful ending was previously foretold. THE REVIEW: When 'Wanted' first came out all those years ago in comic book form, I have to admit, at the time it did not look like anything special to me. Conceptually, it was a well presented book with big guns, bigger tits, and even bigger splash pages full of carnage, death, and destruction, which creators, Mark Millar and J.G. Jones, were good at doing amidst their other works for Image, DC, and Marvel. Still, I did give it a good look for about five minutes or so, just before I then put it back on the racks and picked up 'Savage Dragon' instead. However, now all these years have pasted, and I have watched the 'Wanted' movie, do you think that I have regretted my decision at all?&nbsp; No. Not really. You see, it's always been one of those books that I would have picked up if I had a bit more cash to splash, and I have never felt that I have missed out on something special by not adding it to my pull list. Moreover, after watching the film, I do feel more of the same too, as this flick is one of those good bad movies' that's a tad too unbalanced as a story. Well, not to put too finer point on it, it is the sort ofCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLADon't you find that life can be very surprising at times?

Apollo knows what I am saying. Midnighter is just preying. Whilst Jenny is standing to attention. Unlike new Writer: Peter Milligan; Artist: Miguel Sepulveda; and Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. Though I could be wrong you know. So what’s the STORY morning glory? In the 'Da Vinci Code', our stormy bunch of watcher's are presented with two threats with a tale to tell. Kind of like a dating show with some occasional violence. Well, after she receives warning from the ships monitors, The Engineer splits her team into two, and instructs them to both go to two different locations, to pick up two very different people. Violent people. Jenny, Jack, and J'onn, zip off to Rome, Italy, and get their hand's on some love-struck nut-job who was once a member of an earlier incarnation of their team. Piero Rosci is his name, and his game is revenge upon his one time masters, 'The Dark Lord'. Meanwhile, Apollo and Midnighter fly to Devon, England, and get into a skirmish with a goat-faced Red-Lantern, who just wants to burn everything in his path. No. Not happening. Once the captured and the liberated are all back at Stormwatch HQ, two finite solutions present themselves whilst another more stranger question is posed. What of the future? To be continued... What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? There were two pieces of dialogue that floated my boat in this tale. The first one was when Jack said to the City of Rome whilst rebuilding her 'Rome was not built in the day. Sorry. I could not resist that', because I could sympathise with his comment. Whereas the other piece related to Midnighter's opening inner summation... 'Just how many killings will it take? How many deaths to push me over the edge? I told myself that I joined Stormwatch to bring down evil b*stards. But is that still true?' Nice opening remarks. And sums up what this issue is all about really. What was the BEST thing about this issue? Although this issue is one divisible by two, and has a synchronistic way about what it's trying to accomplish with each strand. Aesthetically the underlining message that this tale is trying to convey is what makes a true hero. Someone who is bold? Someone who is willing to do what other people aren't? Or is it something else entirely? I found that this was subliminally encapsulated in the book-end 'Midnighter sequences' very well, and was quite original too. What was the WORST thing about this issue? The Red Lantern part of the tale felt too much like a titivation that never went anywhere really. OK. I know that I could be wrong in the future. But as of this telling, it came across more like a blatant Red-Lantern cameo. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Including the subliminal message I stated previously, I enjoyed the Da Vinci / Vatican part of this yarn. Plus that open-handed hologram battle between Batman and Midnighter which faded before it could begin. Tease. ART: Miguel Sepulveda is one top class artist. I like the way that Piero Rosci started to hover when he went nuts. In addition to this, I have taken a shine to the overall cinematic feel and tone to the layout as well. Very grand. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? PIERO ROSCI: Rodrigo Santoro from the epic Greek war-time action adventure '300', looks like a man that would do anything for the woman he loves. Well, he did so in British rom-com, 'Love Actually', right? Plus he was 'stupping' J-Lo. RED LANTERN: Rodrigo's '300' co-star, Andrew Pleavin, looks like a goat already. Therefore, it would not take too much make-up to turn him into this very angry Lantern. If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Love May Be Blind. But Heroism Needs Contact Lenses. If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; So this tale wasCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLA[ HE'S GRABBING MY COUPON ]&nbsp; Its nice to have a connection.

Though Eugene did drink a lot you know. Plus watch 60-minutes documentaries such as this one made in 2012. Well, he would have, if he was still alive or course. The Up Series THE STORY: This second instalment of this award winning documentary series, '56 Up', continues from where the previous episode left off (click here for review). However, this time round, the lives of four different candidates 'out of the twelve' will be relayed. There names are Jackie, Suzy, Nick, and Simon. And what now follows is a breakdown of their respective tales. JACKIE - I WANT TO WORK IN WOOLWORTHS Now it is pretty safe to say that Jackie's has had a somewhat grounded life by nature. You see, although in her younger days Jackie never wanted to have children, but always wanted to get married, by her late-thirties she was divorced twice and had three children, and is now living as a single parent Mother in Scotland. Moreover, due to her having contracted arthritis in her forties, she is now being cared for by two of her children. Though, in turn, she is more than happy to care for her new Grandchild.&nbsp; SUZY - WHAT GOES DOWN, CAN GO UP At an early age Suzy's time on this planet was a rather confusing one for her all in all. She went to boarding school because her parents spit-up. Plus in her twenties she was living in Paris and working as a secretary for a short while. However, by her late-thirties, things changed for Suzy quite a lot. She got married. She had three children. Plus she is now living in a very comfortable house in England with her family. NICK - FROM THE FARM TO NUCLEAR FUSION The life of country lad, Nick, has been a somewhat lop-sided for him to follow really. In his youth he went to boarding school. In his twenties he went to University. Plus by his early forties he was divorced and had a child. Nonetheless, also during this time, Nick decided to go to America and eventually married a nice American lady, whilst studying and teaching the principles of Nuclear Energy over there. Occasionally he travels back to England, and touch base with his brother and his aged parents whenever he can. SIMON - FROM CARED TO CARING Just like most of the other 'participants' of this program, Simon's early life was quite a dark state of affairs in hindsight. Boarding school. Divorced and with kids by his mid thirties. Plus his career was mainly as a domestic packer in a freezer plant. Still, when he married a caring lady in his early forties, Nick's frown turned up-side down. He now has a son who he is proud of. He and his wife are both involved with foster care. Plus instead of transporting frozen boxes around a large warehouse, he is currently transporting baggage around an airport. THE REVIEW: After watching '56 Up' last week, I felt that perception would be the key to this particular installment of this show. Therefore, for a change, I decided to watch this it with my parents, just so I could get a different take of how other people saw this documentary. It was a good idea. My Mother kept on saying "Oh my God! Haven't they aged", whilst sipping her cup of herbal tea. Whereas my Father kept on grumbling under his breath "Poor b*stards. Life was tougher in those days" before scratching his nuts (pistachio) and drinking his tea too. But as for me on the other hand? Questions and Answers. That's all I saw. To elaborate... Question: How do our experiences shape who we are today? Answer: Now this question has been used to promoted this specific incarnation of this series, and I cannot help by surmise that it is an highfalutin one to answer as well. Yes. Past experiences do shape who we are today. Life is what you make of it. And in turn it makes of us what it will. Aesthetically, every single person is the sum total of our environment and society, compartmentalised within the path we have travelCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLAAmerican playwright, Eugene O'Neill, one said about the concept of time 'There is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now'.

Writers: Tom DeFalnoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) [ CLUB-POINTS AT THE READY ]&nbsp; Fighting between teens isn't rare. It's like dancing with legend Fred Astaire. Clip follows clop. Punch follows chop. Before the girls start pulling each others hair. Just like what these guys do too. Writers: Tom DeFalco and Scott Lobdell; Artist: Brett Booth; plus Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. So what’s the STORY morning glory? Part one of 'The Culling' reminds me of overdosing on sweets whilst lying in a hospital bed. Doesn't matter how much you take in, you can always get better afterwards. Fabulous!!!! Captured by Harvest. Imprisoned in the Crucible. And now waiting to be pitted against a team of 'Ravagers'. Yes. The Teen Titans have seen better days. Lost in Time. Getting on each others nerves by the minute. And also waiting to be pitted against a team of 'Ravagers'. Yes again. The Legion have seen better days as well. Now are you thinking what I am thinking? Harvest is. And that's most probably why he sets these teams against each other, compounding matters even more so by adding a fringe group to the mix. One comprising of Thunder, Lightning, Beast Boy, Artemis, Terra, and other's I care not to mention. The Ravagers. POW! BASH! THUD! CLANG! ZIP! And THUD! Overall this bold battle results in a solemnly sad death and a strange new beginning for this constrained adventure. And not a nice new beginning either according to Harvest freshly arrived gang of fiends. To br continued in Superboy #9 What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? As usual with Scott, most of his dialogue in this issue was really great to read. My personal favourite piece was the exchange between Red-Robin and Artemis whilst she was holding a sword to his throat... RED-ROBIN: Move - blink, even - and I'll slice your jugular. ARTEMIS: Actually, my carotid artery is about two inches higher. But you have made your point. Funny and informative. What more can you ask for? What was the BEST thing about this issue? Now this annual was a really nice way of starting this crossover event with other book's that I'll probably never get round to picking up. Listen, this is not a criticism. It is a fact. Plus a complement about how this gala event was introduced to 'us readers' with scope, humor, and a simple manner that wasn't overtly confusing. Tough thing to do considering how many characters were involved. What was the WORST thing about this issue? Although I was happy to see a lot of 'special appearances' in this story, I wasn't too keen to see some of them were 'bad-guys' now. Fuji. Warblade. And of the other Wildstorm player. It gave me the same reaction I had last issues with 'Omen'. Happy yet sad. Moreover, why is Gar red? And why kill off Artemis? Slight nags, I know. But points worth mentioning. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Sometimes simplicity is the best form of creativity. Take the basic structure of this tale for example. (1) Introduce the premise. (2) Introduce the teams of heroes. (3) Pit the heroes to fight against each other. (4) Heroes unite against a common foe. And (5) To be continued.&nbsp; Granted, not the most original structure ever known to man. Nonetheless, it was a good one to use when you have about twenty characters to deal with. ART: Poor Brett Booth. His hand must be killing him after drawing all of those heroes in this book. Good. How dare he make Gar red! Ha! The read thing was my only gripe with Brett's artwork really. The rest of it was up to par, better than I actually expected. Poster worthy. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? TIMBER WOLF: I can see Rupert Grint from 'Harry Potter' fame play this 'Hairy Squatter' from the future the older he gets. Can't you? OK, so he has to do something about that posh accent of his. Plus he also needs a couple of slaps to make him a lot tougher as well.

Gianni Versace knonoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) It is generally well known that the fashion industry can be a very emotional profession. You see, at times, appearance means everything to the fashionistas, thus propelling an already cosmetic industry into a quagmire of fake nihilism. Gianni Versace knows what I am talking about, as seen in this 45-minute documentary made in 2010. Gianni Versace - Final 24 THE STORY: This episode of 'The Final 24' recounts the life and death of world famous fashion designer, Gianni Versace. Now to help fill in the details of how this innovative legends spent time upon this planet, there's stock photography, archive footage, re-enactments, and interviews by such people as model, Janise Dickenson, Gianni's partner, Antonio D'Amico, plus close friends, colleges, and authors alike. What now follows is a basic overly of what this program entails: THE YOUNG LAD FROM ITALY: Gianni Versace was born in Southern Italy&nbsp;on December 2, 1946. Now from an early age, Gianni gleaned from his seamstress Mother, Francesca, the art of sculpting clothes to a womanly form, which then gave him the incite to pursue a career in this field of work, after a slight diversion into Architecture. Please note though, also during this period, Gianni had to hide his homosexual tendencies as well, because of the stigma attached to this type of sexual persuasion. &nbsp; THE RISE OF THE ARTIST: When Gianni eventually moved to Milan, he found himself work as a fledgling fashion designer, and began to make a name for himself as a dedicated and innovative artist in his own right. Moreover, this was also a location that gave Gianni the ability to express his own homosexual leanings, and a way of channelling his own overworked energies in a more positive direction.&nbsp; THE HOUSE OF VERSACE: Once Gianni's family got behind him, he found himself in a more lucrative position to expand upon his own talents, by opening up the fashion house 'The House of Versace'. Next, he then capitalised on this new state of play by creating some very stylish clothes for celebrities, models, royalty, and even the National Opera, winning some awards in the process. ANDREW CUNANAN: It is pretty safe to say that Andrew Cunanan was a bit of a fantasist all in all. For example; he wanted to be a fashion designer yet he did not have the gumption to pursue this profession. He spoke of his brief encounter with Gianni Versace in a San Francisco night club, as more than what it was. He thought of himself as something special whilst doing drugs and hustling elderly gay gentlemen for money. Plus on top of that, Andrew fooled himself into thinking that he was HIV positive, thus triggering off something within his mind to go on a murderous rampage, and killing four men before setting his sights on Gianni. THE FINAL 24: The last days of Gianni Versace reads as follows. (5) Gianni and his partner,&nbsp;Antonio D'Amico, go to his mansion in South Beach, Florida, so that he can rest up after his treatment of ear cancer. (4) In the morning, both Gianni and Antonio relax on the Beach and then have a walk along the promenade. (3) Later that same evening, they meet up with a neighbor of theirs and watch a movie, before going home to rest for the night. (2) The following day Gianni goes to the newsagent and buys his weekly magazines. (1) Upon returning home Andrew shoots Gianni in the face two times. Gianni dies on the way to the hospital. Andrew kills himself sometime later. THE REVIEW: Now for a brief period of time whilst I was at college, I was given the name 'Versace' for one of the most ironic reasons ever. No. It's not because my mates thought I was a poof. Instead, it was because I used to wear some of the strangest combination clothing known to man. Just picture it for a moment if you will: A white Panama hat - dark glasses - orange, blue, and red, baggy jogging pants - a musky grey sleeveless builder's shirt - bright green socks - and a pair of black plimsolls - in winter.

And neither does Donald Rumbelow. The crime historian who went plenty of place's as a lad. Just like the creative team of Tony Sally Ann Daniel and Szymon Kudranski; with Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. So what’s the STORY morning glory? Now this continuation of the 'Night of the Owls' saga, entitled 'The Owls take Arkham' we see everyone's favourite mentally deranged physiatrist, Jeremiah Arkham, like Bill Clinton with extra stains. A marked man. To elaborate what I mean by this: Now you would have though that Jeremiah would be sh*ting himself when he heard that 'the Court of Owls' put him on their hit list. But no. He's more than happy to be surrounded by the nuts of Arkham Asylum, and protected by a couple of security guards as well. He was wrong. You see, whilst talking to Black Mask, Jeremiah is attacked by two Talons, whom he quickly evades with the sudden arrival of Batman.&nbsp;Then, once secure in an outpost, Jeremiah devises a two phase attack to get out of this jam. Tear gas and Black Mask. It works after a fashion. Next stop Jeremiah meets Nightwing. In the Two-Face back-up feature, good old Harvey Dent is presented with a propositioned by scum of the Earth, Dominic Sterano - 'Find out who is blackmailing me, and I can make you a free-man once again'. Two-Face agrees. Two-Face hound's flees. Plus Two-face suddenly gets stabbed and drops to his knees. What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? Although this sentence wasn't a defining point in this tale, I liked it when Batman said to Nightwing about Jeremiah... 'I'll dump him off on my way' ...as if this Looney head-shrink was a bundle of washing or something. What was the BEST thing about this issue? I found Jeremiahs laid back and debonair attitude about the situation he was in, very relevant to the type of man he is - An overconfident pain in the ass. Moreover, I did get a kick out of the Nocturna cameo (I haven't seen her in ages), plus the way that Clayface and the other nuts came to Batman's rescue (it made me laugh). What was the WORST thing about this issue? As much as I did enjoy watching Batman being saved by his enemies, at the same time it did confuse me as to why they did not attack him first. Granted, I knew that Black Mask had some sort of hold over them. But this was just touched upon very briefly within this tale, and not given a more relatable explanation. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: In the back-up feature I was titivated by the concept that Two-Face was trying to win back his freedom by kicking the living sh*t out of the underworld. I also liked the way that the story ended too. Very 'OH MY GOD'. However, the main part of this Bat-book was very pedestrian, even if it was a marked improvement from last issues wares. More dynamic and focused, whilst giving us an insight into the mind and life of Jeremiah Arkham. ART: Sally Anne's pencils were a bit more murky on this issue than some of his previous efforts. It was as if he forgot who he was supposed to be channelling at times. Frank Miller or Jim Aparo. Also, on a certain level I can say the same thing about Szymon Kudranski as well. Not channelling though. But in murkiness. Very dark. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? JEREMIAH ARKHAM: Jeremy Irons could play this cracked-quack in his sleep. For a start, both of their forenames are similar, right? Plus on top of that, they both look intellectual-bananas who are about to split. &nbsp; BLACK MASK: 'Heroes' good-guy / bad-guy, Adrian Pasdar, once said that he likes to wear a mask while he is perfuming. Granted, he was referring to a 'make-believe' theatrical mask at the time. Still, if the shoe fits? Shoe? Hmmmm? If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be?

You know what I mean, huh? Get some buck's for your blogging. I have. And thanks to my mates from Pennsylvania, John and Conrad, one day they sat me down in a diamond encrusted wicker chair and explained to me how to do just that. Here, when you have the time, please check out this interview I had with John whilst we were mugging a politician for the sheer hell of it. Cowabunga! Marketing For Dummies 1) In your own words John, how would you describe your service, the&nbsp;concurnewmedia.com? &nbsp;We are the first Direct Response New Media Marketing Agency.&nbsp;A bit long isn't it? There are a few ways to answer this question really. But in a nutshell, we do direct-response marketing for individuals and companies, and give them a great return on their investments. That's sort of the long winded version, the one I usually tell is "We make your business money". Short, sweet, simple, and directly to the point. 2) What are your own origins, and what was the path you took to get where you are today? &nbsp;Conrad and I have known each other since we were little kids. As we grew up he went off into Radio and Advertising, and I went off into Information Technology and Art. We started talking, and he had this idea for Concur Consulting. And over time we changed over to a complete Marketing Agency. We did a complete shift of our business plan and dropped the whole consulting idea and moved into the marketing arena. Both coming from backgrounds where we were in management and leadership positions it seemed only natural where we would be able to place our talents and skill sets. I moved into handling a lot of the day-to-day operational stuff, and strategy, where he took on the chief strategy and the whole face of Concur. He’s far less shy than I am. 3) What piece of music, movie, or object, would you say your service reflects, and why? &nbsp;This is a really good question and very difficult to answer. Our service and strategies vary so greatly from client to client, and from topic to topic, that it’s really difficult to say this or that song or object reflects us. I’m sure everyone who works for Concur would be able to define a song or movie that reflects them. 4) Do you have any amusing stories you can tell us about? Also, have you had any media recognition. &nbsp;There’s been quite a bit of local media recognition, and a few videos on You Tube. There is even a video somewhere of Conrad speaking on a San Diego news broadcast. As for amusing stories. There was this one time that Conrad and I were meeting at a Dunkin Donuts for coffee, and we went in his car. We both drive Lincoln Town Cars so we have Keyless entry on them, so you can lock your keys in the car and enter your little code on the door and unlock the car. So we meet at Dunkin, finished what we had to do, had our meeting, and headed off out to his car to head home. However, somehow Conrad managed to forget what his keyless entry code was. So we were left stranded at Dunkin for thirty minutes until he could remember what the keyless entry code was. 5) When I had my interview with you and Conrad, it came across that you had quite a lot of business acumen. Are you accredited with any professional bodies? &nbsp;That just comes from a lot of hard work and experience. Business is one part knowledge and one part common sense. Its a lot of quick thinking, and logical deductions. I could probably write an entire book on the topic and place it into an already flooded market, lol. Truthfully, a lot has come with experience. Working other jobs since we were younger and watching what other businesses did. Plus why they did these things. I've said it before, everybody should work at least one job in a bad company, where it’s mis-managed and handled in every way incorrectly. That way you can see what that particular company did that was incorrect, and you can note that so that you don’t make the same mistakes.

That's what American documentarian, Joshua Lou Friedman (himself), wants to know, as soon as Bulla is let out of prison. You see, not so long after Josh sorts out some paperwork with Bulla's financial adviser, Jik Jickels (Omid Djalili), he accompanies him around London, and records his daily activities as he goes along. For example, he witnesses Bulla's sorrow by his mother's graveside. He is then&nbsp;introduced to Bulla's psychic and gangster pals by the side of the road. Plus in addition to&nbsp;this, he becomes intertwined Bulla's antics, when he and his mates hijacks a sightseeing tour bus, and then takes in the view. However, upon visiting Bulla's Aunt Queenie (Laila Morse), in a pub that she owns, Josh begins to hear story's about the person who arrested Bulla all those years ago - corrupt police officer, Detective Conrad (Eddie Webber). Well, since Bulla's incarceration, Conrad has bought out most of his assets, made a name for himself in print, and has begun polluting the streets with drugs, whist debasing Bulla's reputation in the process. So what is Bulla going to do about this, huh? Start up cage fighting? Go to his spiritual advisor, Guru Shah (Steven Berkoff), for some help? And what about this annual head-shrink seasons? Yep. Bulla does all of those. Not that it does him any good. Moreover, he also goes to his Gypsy cousin and persuades her to aide him in setting up a 'battle of the midgets' as well. Though, I suppose that is why what next transpires is a right good time to make a cup of tea I can tell you. As battle-lines are drawn - its brain verses brawn - someone goes into the slammer - and someone else dances to M.C. Hammer. Can't touch this... THE REVIEW: Now there were four main reasons why I wanted to watch 'Big Fat Gypsy Gangster'. Firstly, both Rickey Grover and Omid Djalili are two wonderful character actors, who have proven in the past that they can pull off some very funny comedy pieces. Secondly, when I was a young lad, I really did love watching those 'Bulla' inserts from the '11 O'clock Show', as I genuinely thought it was a lot funnier than either Rickey Gervais or Ali G's stuff. Thirdly, I do know quite a few real life Gypsies from my days at college, and I can say with my hand on my heart, that they are a creed which do need some media spotlight once in a while, just so us so-called 'normal people' know of another way of life.&nbsp; And fourthly, my older brother has been pestering me for ages to watch this film, because he just loves it so much. However, do I love it? Do I feel that this directorial debut by writer / actor, Rickey Grover, is a real piece of satirical art? Or something desperately needing to be scrapped from my shoe? Hmmm. Not sure really. You see, there are things in this film that I really do love - due to the fact that I live near the area depicted in this film, and I can partly-associate with some of the characters on as historical level. Whereas, there are other things in this film that I'm not too keen on - because I feel that this movie is trying too hard to make the audience laugh at times, and goes for the cheep gag or the silly story just for the sake of filler. So what do I normally do when I am confused with a film? Correct - advantage / disadvantage time. ADVANTAGE: (1) All of the principle actors were just great in this movie. Ricky, Omar, Steven, and Laila, were just laugh-out loud funny for the majority of tCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLAYou know what? Sometimes it's good to be English. You can walk along the street and mumble sinisterly to yourself, whilst listening to the latest piece of Brit-crap on your Brit-Pod. Whereas, at...<br/> <br/> [[ This is a content summary only.

A bit of och-ei-mein-nu. Followed with a bit of Scooby-dooby-doo. Then topped off by the band Fleetwood Mac. Or maybe Writer: Dan Jurgens; Artist: Aaron Lopresti; and Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. Bless 'em. So what’s the STORY morning glory? 'Into the Firestorm' is like drinking washing-up liquid whilst standing on your head. You want to clean your insides out, but this is not exactly the right way of going about it. To explain... Poor Kevin Cho. If it wasn't bad enough that he has been transformed into a mechanised monster called OMAC. Worst still, through no will of his own, he is being forced to beat-up the Justice League as well. However, as luck would have it, the League is able to subdue OMAC, &nbsp;force him down into the sewers, and then talk to him about daisies and buttercups. NOT! Though they might as well have been. Suddenly, out of the blue, the League get a distress call from Paris.&nbsp;Prompting them all to all fly over there and abruptly discover three fire based heroes kicking up a storm, hint, hint! Meanwhile, somewhere else, Breakdown and his colorful colleges enlist a new member to their team, Crosscut. To be continued... What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? Would it be wrong of me if I said that the best sentence in this story was a sound effect? 'Pappt'. It's the sound a rock makes when OMAC is throwing it at Guy Gardner. Well, I found it a very strange choice for an 'action effect' really. I thought something like 'changethecreativeteam' more appropriate somehow. What was the BEST thing about this issue? I liked that bit of the book where it said 'Continued in Firestorm #9'. Ha! Just kidding. Though to be completely honest with you, this issue was not that great a read. Still, I suppose on some level I did enjoy how Godiva's personality shone through more than usual, giving her a strained quality that I find very interesting. What was the WORST thing about this issue? OK, so you have just had a big fight with a big metal monster. You're surrounded by sh*t in a sewer. Plus you are very pissed off too. So what do you do about? Have a nice chat until another problem arises? That's what the League did with OMAC! No. No. No. This was just inane. I hoped that these 'play-school' type-shenanigans were behind us now. I was wrong. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Oh! Not too sure if there was anything very creative in this issue where the story was concerned. But OMAC's conflicted disposition was a nice touch. Plus Godiva's comment about 'The Prince' asking her to join 'League' was a nice little tit-bit as well.&nbsp; ART: I did like it when Guy Gardner turned himself into Ironman to fight OMAC. Nerdish compliment I know. But one still worth mentioning. Also, I did prefer the green tinged pallet used in the sewer section more than the 'day-light' sections. Felt more urbane somehow.&nbsp; If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? OMAC: Obviously in film the man with the metallic-Mohawk will be mostly computer generated. But wouldn't it be just marvellous if 'Training Day' gangster, Cliff Curtis, encompassed this reluctant hero somehow? Yes? Good reader you. Have a biscuit. CROSSCUT: For this token youth, you need a young actor who comes across as a token youth. How about Kevin McHale from Glee, huh?&nbsp; It'd like to see him getting beaten up in the future. Wouldn't you? If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Never Try To Resolve Any Issues. Something Will Always Turn Up To Take Your Mind Off Your Problems. If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; Now for the completely wrong reasons, I can only compare this issue with the genre of music called 'Real Jazz '. I hate Real Jazz. It reminds me of someone throwing pots and pans down the stairs.
