I Love Living In a World Like This...

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 02:17:00 +0000

...where music exists that always puts a smile on my face. I never remember to ask my cousin whether it was the summer of '96 or '97. Was it even the summer? Anyway, she came back from vacation in The Netherlands and introduced me to a boy band she heard while over there. From the first moment I heard The Backstreet Boys' "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," I was an unapologetic fan. Yeah, the music could be schmaltzy, but we were kids. Of course we loved these adorable guys who complemented...

Iron Man 3, It's Been a Pleasure

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Sun, 26 May 2013 17:01:00 +0000

If you haven't seen Iron Man 3, may I ask why? Maybe like me you avoided opening weekend because you'd rather not have to sit on a stranger's lap, the following Saturday and Sunday were completely taken over by Mother's Day, and the rest of your time was spent working. I went on the third weekend and the theater was still nearly full. With good reason. Iron Man (#1) was incredibly enjoyable and surprisingly emotional. With that and The Dark Knight in the same summer, I suddenly started...

Why Do I Put Things Off ~ Avenger's Assemble

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Tue, 21 May 2013 15:15:00 +0000

I'm finally listening to The Avengers soundtrack, Avengers Assemble. I've had it since I got a download code with my Blu-ray copy but for some reason always chose other music when I started up Spotify. Until today I didn't even remember any of the music, or which of the tracks were actually in the movie, because I've seen it only three times so far. Wish I had more time. If only I could quit work. Anyway, I heard the lyrics "Show me how a bleeding heart still pounds" from "Unbroken" and I...

I Was Made to Feel

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Tue, 14 May 2013 04:24:00 +0000

For the longest time, Almost Human - formerly InHuman and then Human - was the only new show that seemed interesting or exciting for the 2013-2014 TV season lineup. (Now I'd also like to give Sleepy Hollow a chance.) I was anticipating it since sometime late last year when Joel Wyman mentioned it, long before filming started. I've never been so invested in something at such an early stage. It's a strange feeling that social media can remove a barrier like that between us and the entertainment...

La-Bibbida-Bibba-Dum

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Sun, 12 May 2013 00:03:00 +0000

Tonight on The Walking Dead, hilarity ensues. Zombies talk, a governor sings, fish have psychic powers, and Andrea is fixated on banjos... Have you ever seen the Bad Lip Reading videos on YouTube? They're so great that I can watch them dozens of times, like an episode of Friends, except these make no sense at all. The NFL one was the first I saw and the best. But "The Walking and Taking Dead" just surpassed it for what I assume is a little nod to David Morrissey's time in the musical mini...

The Governor and a Few Thoughts About the Dead

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Sat, 11 May 2013 12:30:00 +0000

Is it really May 11 already? It's about damn time I posted some thoughts. It's been too long. Now let's celebrate Mother's Day weekend with some good old-fashioned zombies and horrible humans. Enjoy. Spoilers ahead. Please catch up to the third season finale before reading. In the ocean of mostly awful, annoying, or pointless television there are always a few rare gems. Among those, a show has to be exceedingly special for me to write about it. I'm just one person after all, so I have to be...

Backstreet Boys Twentieth

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 21:01:00 +0000

It would have been great to celebrate the Backstreet Boys 20th anniversary. Unfortunately, I don't live anywhere near L.A., so that was an impossible thing. Turns out I don't feel well today anyway, so that would have been a disappointing trip. But I could still be there in spirit, and watch it live with iGoHD.com! Nope. I signed up and then my login info wouldn't work. I keep getting an error message and it won't reset my password. I also can't sign in with Facebook. Who knows? Maybe it's just...

Fringe Posters are Finally Up

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 19:49:00 +0000

*Fringe Celebration Poster by Zort70 Actually, they were up a while ago, but that was the day I hurt myself. Whacked my head into my desk while I was cleaning. Haven't thought about finishing this post since. Maybe it knocked the idea out of place for a bit. Anyway... Did you miss the Fringe Benefits Project posters? That's too bad, because they're great, high quality prints. Yes, they were expensive, $43 a piece with shipping, but they were limited and the show was ending. It was a...

From Dusk Till Shaun

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:58:00 +0000

Shaun of the Dead! Mixed with From Dusk Till Dawn, which I don't care about, but the design is great. Luckily I have the Fuzz of the Dead shirt already, but this one still really hurts to pass on. I have no choice since I've just spent on Dishonored, God of War: Ascension, a font book, Spirit of the Sword, Art of the Knife, Wayne Goddard's $50 Knife Shop, Blade's Guide to Making Knives, a new Unstealthiest Ninja t-shirt, and a couple other things. Why can't the shirts I want be spread around...

Hello Jawa vs. Barrel Roll Master

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:53:00 +0000

Hello Kitty dressed as a Jawa. Star Fox as an actual star fox. Well, this is a battle that's just too cute to take sides on. So, why not get both? For the next 13 hours you can get them at $11 each for S-XL, $12 for 2XL, or $13 for 3XL, plus shipping. I would get Barrel Roll Master, but money was stolen from my checking account recently and I now have to hoard every penny I can get my hands on.

Blurring the Lines

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:27:00 +0000

From two of the creative minds behind Fringe, JJ Abrams and Joel Wyman (JWFRINGE, JHWYMAN), comes the next great sci-fi drama, Human. According to Joel, I know to think of it as Blade Runner if Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer were police officers and partners. So is it man and machine, man versus machine, man in the machine, or machine in the man? What happens when our creations become self aware? Could an android feel more, be more human than his human partner, know people better than his...

Negative Attention

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:39:00 +0000

How I picture the angry birds of Twitter. I never imagined I would have to defend Fringe and its showrunner, Joel Wyman, after it ended, especially since I loved it more than any other show and it amazes me when someone doesn't get it or has something disparaging to say about the acting. That just proves that they don't know a flawless performance when they see one (i.e. John Noble as Walter Bishop). It also had the best finale I've ever seen. Sadly, that amazing, finely-crafted episode...

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 03:31:00 +0000

Walking down the rail a horn bellows in the night A low rumbling in the distancepulls the darkness closer Thinking about the ease of it wishing things were different Screeching of metal on metal breaks through the haze of indecision A rush of wind as it passes by clears the mind No... not tonight. Just because this came to me out of the blue and I haven’t written anything in years besides a zombie haiku. Miranda Doerfler (@docsaico) seemed to like this and said I should...

Dead Man Down Has a Pulse

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 06:09:00 +0000

"Always kill the devil quickly when you find him." If you see a movie this weekend, consider Dead Man Down, a nicely paced and well-acted revenge thriller with substance and realism to the characters. If nothing else, it made me care about Colin Farrell (Victor) as both an actor and a person. I also found out that Noomi Rapace (Beatrice) can affect me without saying a word. They play damaged and vulnerable characters and deliver the spare dialogue with truly haunted looks. And Terrence...

In Love with Iron Man 3's Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:15:00 +0000

Iron Man is one of my favorite movies, Tony Stark one of my favorite characters, and it's all because Robert Downey, Jr. is one of my favorite actors. It's the kind of movie that is particularly memorable, combining fun and humor with depth and explodey bits. So, shame on me for forgetting to watch this new trailer. What have I been doing? I guess it was work. And then I was busy cleaning and hurting myself on the weekend. Then I took this week off to relax and played games. So, now I'm the...

Grumpy Cat Versus The Fifth Element

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:23:00 +0000

Grumpy Cat! Aww, I love her. She has such an adorable face. But if I were going to choose a shirt, it would have to be the competition. I love The Fifth Element, a rare movie that grew on me, but I don't have a t-shirt telling the world. The first time I saw it, I had no idea what happened. It was so strange. The second time, though, somethng clicked. It was weird, yes, but it was also funny and fun. So many shirts, so little space. If I were rich I would have to have a walk-in closet dedicated...

Fluffball Pup

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 23:37:00 +0000

I think I just died from the absolutely ridiculous cuteness of this puppy, who really can only be described as a cotton ball with paws. Don't know why I haven't been posting adorable animals until now. I watch these kinds of things all the time and family is always sending pictures of animals that are so cute I just have to squeal.

Michonne: Impossible Not to Love

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 18:41:00 +0000

Shit! This is awesome, and I just realized I have not one The Walking Dead shirt. I've seen some before and they're always great, but it doesn't happen when I'm buying. I have other things to pay for and I have so many tees right now. I just bought a Friends quote shirt a couple weeks ago. No, I can't just get this and promise myself not to buy another later. No matter what, I always break that promise. Ugh, so hard not to put this one in my cart, though. The artwork is fantastic. Sad now. But...

See "Dead Man Down" This Friday

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 06:16:00 +0000

Dead Man Down is not a movie I normally care to go see in the theaters. On the surface, it looks like a generic revenge story that isn't exciting or original. Many movies truly do nothing different and are boring or ridiculous or outright terrible. I'm giving this one a chance, though, because I know who wrote it and sometimes a trailer just doesn't do justice. Never mind the fact that it stars Noomi Rapace and Colin Farrell, since neither one is really a draw for me. And I didn't see the...

Under the Sea with Ariel and Big Daddy

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 22:40:00 +0000

It took me a second to see what was going on here. The image in my email was small and dark. I knew it was Ariel by the title, but when I looked closer I saw the familiar "eyes" of a Big Daddy. And when I went to the site I realized that I should be calling her Little Sister Ariel. I loooove this shirt. Damn, I wish I thought of this...but then I would have had to have been able to draw it.

A Tee That'll Be There for You

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 12:26:00 +0000

I haven't bought a shirt in months. Just yesterday I said I was saving money and not going to buy any, and I thought I was going to keep that promise for a while longer. But an exception must be made for this, a Friends t-shirt. I've never seen one and this has a bunch of hilarious quotes. It can't be passed up. As always, it's $10 and the deal is up at the end of the day. Of course the one I wanted to embed is "disabled by request": Ross' Sandwich

Supernatural LARP Shirt

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 21:50:00 +0000

Two shirts I like in one day? One from a favorite game and the other from a favorite show? And me without money to waste? This is a sad day, indeed. I love the design, though. I can't believe "Manny" made it and got it up on RiptApparel so soon after the episode, "LARP and the Real Girl" from Supernatural. It was one of the funny episodes, like "Mystery Spot," where Sam had his own Groundhog Day. These are always my favorites. If you like the design, it's only $10. You have just over 8 hours...

Portal Versus TeeFury

noreply@blogger.com (Reinbeast) — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 15:33:00 +0000

Damn, not another TwoFury! I usually want to buy one of them and it's been such a long while since I have. No more room plus saving money equals sad face. But I'll get over it. You, though, can buy your shirt of choice for the next 13 hours. While the TeeFury bird is cute, the Portal Companion Cube is the clear winner with me. I love Portal. I haven't played it in quite a while, but I have fond memories, especially of the hilarious (and deadly) Wheatley.
