Star Trek Into Darkness... is Here.

2013-05-17T00:00:00.000-05:00

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

I am not reading any reviews, watching any reviews... so stop until the weekend is out to give your thoughts. I hated people who felt the need to ruin Iron Man III on Friday morning, cause they saw it midnight and here comes their opinion on Facebook... I get it you saw it, I say please "SHHHHHHHH" for others to see it.

Die-hard fans will see it sometime from opening night until Sunday, keep it to yourself... the rest will see it that think this is the buzz and the rest... just go see the Great Gatsby.

So are you a spoiler or a friend of mine?

Can You Answer It?... and don't say "SHOWGIRLS"

2013-05-16T00:00:00.000-05:00

Many of the Italian horror films still haunt me and many of the British witch-hunt films from the late sixties and early seventies... scar'd me.

So for a film that scares me... I sadly cannot remember the title, though I can tell you the scene I recall. A woman was hanging upside on a board in a hallway with the moonlight peering in a window to reveal her naked body. Though a layer of her skin had been peeled off and someone covered her in a paint lacquer from head to toe. She couldn't scream and she was still alive... the film was this house where the people were tortured and they could not get out. Somewhere in the late 70's, anyone ever hear/see this? Now it was a image I see once in awhile and my parents tell me that it was a dream and they wouldn't let me watch something so horrid.

Oh my childhood leads me to the life I live... no not in horror!

MANGA, What is it REALLY?

2013-05-15T04:18:00.000-05:00

Manga are comics created in Japan, or by Japanese creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century.They have a long, complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art.

Kanagaki Robun and Kawanabe Kyosai created the first manga magazine in 1874: Eshinbun Nipponchi. The magazine was heavily influenced by Japan Punch, founded in 1862 by Charles Wirgman, a British cartoonist. Eshinbun Nipponchi had a very simple style of drawings and did not become popular with many people. Eshinbun Nipponchi ended after three issues. The magazine Kisho Shimbun in 1875 was inspired by Eshinbun Nipponchi, which was followed by Marumaru Chinbun in 1877, and then Garakuta Chinpo in 1879. Shōnen Sekai was the first shōnen magazine created in 1895 by Iwaya Sazanami, a famous writer of Japanese children's literature back then. Shōnen Sekai had a strong focus on the First Sino-Japanese War.

Sorry for the quick history lesson, I really thought it was the same thing as ANIME... I really need to get my terms right or Anime Central Convention will eat me alive...

You might ask yourself what that is, well look below in today's earlier posts. Also... I am really hating the CAPTCHA sites, I have great friends with great posts and still they leave these damn things on. Topper too is then they have the "Approval" on too... trust me you can just turn off "ANONYMOUS" and 95% of your worries are gone. So to those friends, sorry I visit... no more comments.

I am not a robot!

Iron Man is Fiction: City Of Chattanooga Is Upset About 'Iron Man 3

2013-05-14T00:00:00.000-05:00

Judging From This Email: The City Of Chattanooga
Is Pretty Upset About 'Iron Man 3

Story Reported by: Nicholas Carlson

--------------------

But apparently, there's a scene in the movie where Robert Downey Jr.'s character, Tony Stark, tries to use the Internet while in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and he finds it very slow. This depiction has the city of Chattanooga rather upset. A spokesperson for its chamber of commerce just emailed us to say so.

A spokesperson for its chamber of commerce just emailed us to say so. Here's the relevant bit of that note:

For those who plan to hit theaters to catch "Iron Man 3," keep an eye out for the inaccurate depiction of Chattanooga, Tennessee. In the movie, Iron Man had a hard time with a slow Internet connection. If Iron Man had visited the real Chattanooga, he would have been saving the world with the help of the first American city to offer gig-a-second Internet speeds (1,000 megabits per second), which Chattanooga has made available to every home and business across a 600 square mile service area since 2010.

Iron Man is Nothing Without a Little Pepper and a Message to Laura Eno..

So I wanted to give a special thanks to my "Minions: Assemble" team for being a strong back and support to the April Challenge... thanking them one at a time and sharing their sites with you...

Shout out: Laura @ Laura Eno..

Having a "can do" helping our challenge, I believe if Laura had a Iron-Lady suit... we all would be in trouble [in a good way]. I give you this special song... MEET A GIRL LIKE YOU!!

Thank you!!

-----------------------------------------------------

Okay Happy Day... I had plans to do something else, but may of you have noticed the changes I wanted to address them. I am dropping the "ZOMBIES" from this point on, cause no matter how I spin it everyone still calls it a strictly "Zombie Site", now I will cover things of a zombie nature like "The Walking Dead", etc... I just tired of being known for a limited audience... many of my friends know I do design/art and that will not change I love to make new things.

Some things I am hoping to offer is more of the meet some other blogger friends, art/design, bringing you stuff I have in my house [toys, magazines, collectibles, etc.] and try to sell/trade/giveaway. What does that mean? This means if you see something you like and you have only have to comment or email your interest. I was suppose to have a different life and for awhile it was my path...

I had a stupid health scare in the start of the new year, that seem to make all material things worthless to me and made my love for my sites become a black hole. It made me look at me and see my life with different eyes, it made me afraid of the things I leave behind. I am just finishing up on "FOUR" Books that are a journey of my art/designs over the last "FOUR" years... my wake up call.

As they come available, maybe you who have sold books can give me some advice, these books are so much of a story telling of my life. I need to move forward... get back on track and find that purpose again.

Iron Man III [2013] - FUN FACTS

2013-05-06T00:00:00.000-05:00

So you have by now have seen IRON MAN III and if you didn't... maybe soon! Here are some of the things you might not know...

Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” is based on the comic created by Stan Lee, Don Heck, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby. Iron Man first appeared in “Tales of Suspense #39” in March, 1963. The film brings the favorite Iron Man series cast together: Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Iron Patriot/Colonel James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), alongside franchise newcomers Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), Maya Hansen (Rebecca Hall) and The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley).

Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” blends two classic storylines from the “Iron Man” comics, bringing Tony Stark’s archenemy the Mandarin into play and combining that element with the Extreme storyline, which deals with the biological enhancement of humans.

Production on Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” commenced on May 25, 2012, in Wilmington, North Carolina, where the production shot onstage at the Sony Screen Gems Studios and various locations in and around the city of Wilmington. Other filming locations included Raleigh, N.C. and Miami, Fla.

Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Marvel’s “Iron Man 3.” This time around, Downey Jr. re-teams with director Shane Black, who previously directed Downey Jr. in “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.”

Academy Award®–winning actor Ben Kingsley plays the Mandarin, a frightening, modern-day villain bent on destroying Tony Stark and everything he stands for. To define the Mandarin’s persona, Kingsley came up with the Mandarin’s enigmatic voice and costume designer Louise Frogley collaborated with Marvel’s Head of Visual Development, Ryan Meinerding, to pull off a highly original look to his wardrobe.

For the first time ever in an “Iron Man” movie, Pepper Potts, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, gets to don a suit in Marvel’s “Iron Man 3.” Paltrow did not mind wearing the suit, finding it to be light and comfortable—not to mention that her kids thought she was really cool.

The filmmakers looked far and wide for a young actor to play the part of Harley, a boy Tony Stark encounters when he is stranded in Tennessee. The part went to Ty Simpkins, whose natural and honest interaction with Robert Downey Jr. was just what the filmmakers were looking for. Ty was very surprised and elated when Robert Downey Jr. himself called to tell him he had won the part.

Jon Favreau appears again as Happy Hogan, Pepper and Tony’s trusted bodyguard, chauffeur and friend. For the first time in Marvel’s “Iron Man” franchise, Favreau stepped into the role of executive producer leaving the directing to Shane Black. Black was grateful to have Favreau’s input and experience so readily available, both on and off set.

In the Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” story, after the events in New York with The Avengers, the U.S. Government needed a weapon that it could rely upon to protect the country, so it turns to James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) to man the revamped War Machine armor, which has been reconfigured, painted red, white and blue and rebranded as The Iron Patriot.

When last seen in “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Tony Stark was wearing the Mark 7 suit. When Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” opens, we see him in the Mark 42, so Stark’s been spending a lot of time tinkering in his workshop. The Mark 42 is called a prehensile suit, which allows individual pieces of the suit to fly to Stark and latch onto him at his command; however, the suit is definitely still a prototype.

For the first time in the “Iron Man” film franchise, the filmmakers go deeper into revealing more about Tony Stark’s Hall of Amor. The Hall of Armor houses all of the suits that Stark conceived, representing any and all of his ideas regarding suit technology.

Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” brings back the notable cliffside Stark Mansion. This set was built on a soundstage in Wilmington, N.C. and required 16 weeks of construction and set decoration in order to get it ready. The set was built on an impressive moving gimble, which allowed the entire structure to be tilted 45 degrees and reset at a moment’s notice, providing for the dramatic stunt work required to film the House Attack sequence.

For the filmmakers, creating the small town where Iron Man crash lands after his home is destroyed was something that could not be done on stage, so the production headed to Rose Hill, North Carolina. Rose Hill has its own claim to fame for having the world’s largest frying pan, which is 15 feet in diameter, weighs two tons and can cook 365 chickens at a time.

Filming in Rose Hill, North Carolina, was no easy task. As if five straight weeks of night shoots weren’t grueling enough, the short summer days made for a tight schedule. The very complicated and elaborate sequences meant that the crew was always racing to complete work before dawn broke.

Some of the exterior shots in Rose Hill were winter scenes complete with snowfall. Since it was summer in North Carolina during filming, 90-degree temperatures were common, but the local background extras took it all in stride, despite the fact they were dressed in full winter clothing.

Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” showcases one of Marvel Studios’ most complicated action sequences to date. In the film, 13 people fall out of a plane and Iron Man attempts to save them all—even though he can only carry four. With the help of the Red Bull skydiving team, and with rigorous and meticulous planning by second-unit director Brian Smrz and stunt coordinator Jeff Habberstad, 630 jumps over 10 days went off without a hitch.

The majority of scenes involving The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) were shot in Miami. Production designer Bill Brzeski created The Mandarin’s compound there by shooting the exteriors on the 10-acre grounds of the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, a National Historic Landmark built in 1916, and the interiors were shot at a private waterfront residence in South Beach.

Prop master Russell Bobbit, who worked on Marvel’s “Iron Man” and “Iron Man 2,” returned to work with Marvel Studios on “Iron Man 3.” One of Russell’s favorite props was The Mandarin’s set of ten rings. Bobbit collaborated with jewelers through several concepts and manufactured specific stones for the rings, giving each ring a custom paint job. The process took a few months in order to get the rings right and ready for Ben Kingsley’s first day. Bobbit was able to use the same “ten rings” images he designed for use in the first “Iron Man” film.

Florida pop-art artist Bask was hired to create distinctive artwork for the office and bedroom of the Mandarin’s residence that would mesh with the villain’s persona. Although the basis of Bask’s work is pop art, it is infused with influences from comic books, graffiti and punk rock fliers.

On Friday, July 6, 2012, the production moved to a local Wilmington hospital to shoot Tony Stark delivering an impromptu message to the world’s press. While the crew was only there for six hours, this happened to be the exact same time executive producer Stephen Broussard and his wife Claire were delivering their first child at that very same hospital. Once his wife and new baby boy, Rex Sebastian Broussard, were confirmed healthy and happy, Broussard was actually able to visit his friends on set for a few minutes. He describes the whole day as “even more surreal and wonderful than I would have thought. Work followed me to the birth of my son.” Soon after, at the “half-way there” party for the crew, Robert Downey Jr. raffled items to raise money for the hospital’s Women’s & Children’s ward.

“Iron Man 3” pairs Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Kingsley working together for the first time. Both actors also played memorable roles in films directed by Richard Attenborough (Downey Jr. in Attenborough’s “Chaplin” and Ben Kingsley in Attenborough’s “Gandhi”). The first day they met on set, Downey Jr. and Kingsley snapped a photo together to send to their mutual friend.

It's a lot to read... go ahead take your time, it's interesting stuff! I will be back on Wednesday...

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes...

2013-05-01T00:00:00.000-05:00

I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still, the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame?
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n' rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now, you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

T - They Are Out of This World "The Neighbors"

2013-04-23T00:00:00.000-05:00

Set in New Jersey, revolves around a family that has relocated to a gated townhouse community called "Hidden Hills". Upon their arrival, they discover that the entire community is populated by residents from another planet. These aliens have adopted, as their own, the names of sport celebrities, receive nourishment through their eyes and mind by reading books rather than eating, and cry out green goo from their ears. Since the aliens have assumed human form, they can also revert to their original appearances by clapping their hands above their heads. They have been stuck on Earth for 10 years, still awaiting instructions to return home.

Watching this on a whim, now we are watching weekly... something about it makes it more human than humans should be.

Okay you know you love it... period!

R - Raising Hope

2013-04-20T00:00:00.000-05:00

James "Jimmy" Chance is a clueless 25-year-old who impregnates a serial killer during a one-night-stand. Earning custody of his daughter after the mother is sentenced to death and electrocuted, Jimmy relies on his eccentric but well-intentioned family for support in raising the child. Renewed for a fourth season.

This is made by the same folks that had a hand in "My Name Is Earl", just more of a carrying family... well really it is. So Flip it On!

P - Perception

2013-04-18T00:00:00.000-05:00

Dr. Daniel Pierce, a talented but eccentric neuropsychiatrist, is enlisted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to assist in solving some of its most complex cases in Chicago. Dr. Pierce works closely with Special Agent Kate Moretti, a former student who recruited him to work with the FBI. Also on the team are Max Lewicki, Dr. Pierce's teaching assistant and Natalie Vincent, his best friend.

So these are shows that are new in the last couple of years and I enjoy them... though I am always afraid there is not enough attention to keep them on the air... So I am sharing them.
