Still Kickin'

2013-03-02T11:25:00.000-05:00

Pfew! New house, new job, new... well... that's pretty much it but the last two months have really taken it out of me. I figured it was time for me to pop in here to Hyde and Geek and update the world on why there's been no new posts. Here's the main scoop. I'm slowly transforming this site from a news site into a personal blog. Oh! I'm sure I'll still post fun stuff and news that I find

The Joker Has A Laugh In 'The Batman Chronicles'

2013-01-14T22:28:00.001-05:00

Check out this clip for an upcoming fan-made Batman series called 'The Batman Chronicles'. If the teaser is any indication, this could be fun. For more info, and to help fund the project, check out the serie's IndieGogo page.

The Tweeathon Is On Hold

2012-10-05T10:33:00.000-04:00

Due to some issues with my personal life, the Hyde and Geek / Kids Need to Read Tweetathon is on hold for now. I am still planning on holding the event but, at this time, I don't know when that's going to be. Stay tuned to this page for more info and thanks for understanding.

Calling All Geeks! (The 2012 Edition)

2012-08-05T09:48:00.000-04:00

For the last two years, I've hosted a fun (and often funny) experiment that I call the Hyde and Geek/Kids Need to Read 36 Hour Tweetathon. The idea is that I will sit in front of my computer and tweet every ten minutes for 36 hours straight with no sleep and, after a while, very little sanity. All of this is done to help raise money for charity. In this case, the charity is Kids Need to Read,

New Trailer for Stop-Motion Horror 'ParaNorman'

2012-03-02T13:51:00.001-05:00

It seems like 'Frankenweenie' isn't the only fun kids movie this year that's going to delve into darker territory. The new flick 'ParaNorman' from Laika is the story of a young boy named Norman (hence the punny title) who sees dead people. But when an evil witch threatens to cause the dead to return to life, it's up to Norman and his rag-tag band of friends to save the day. Sounds pretty fun to

The First Trailer for Tim Burton's 'Frankenweenie'

2012-03-02T10:33:00.001-05:00

I haven't been a fan of most of Tim Burton's work since the horrible 'Planet of the Apes' remake back in 2001. It seems as if the once genius filmmaker has slipped into a coma of remakes and adaptations that have his visual flair but not his heart. Hopefully that will change with Disney's upcoming 'Frankenweenie'. 'Frankenweenie' is a full length version of Burton's own 1984 short film of the

Protect Your Rights - Stop SOPA/PIPA

2012-01-18T09:38:00.003-05:00

In February, the United States government is will continue discussion on a piece of legislation that can hurt the free environment that is the internet. Not only does it go against our personal freedoms as US citizens, it also threatens to weaken the stability of the internet as a whole. Please... write your representatives in both the Congress and Senate to help stop the SOPA (Stop Online

Movie Review: The Muppets

2011-11-23T22:55:00.002-05:00

Today, for the first time since 1999’s ‘Muppets from Space’, Kermit and the gang hit the big screen. If you read this blog at all, you already know I’m a big… nay… huge fan of Jim Henson’s lovable band of misfits. So, going in, it is natural to assume that I fully expected to enjoy ‘The Muppets’. But, I do remember the mediocre outings that were ‘Muppets from Space’ and ‘Muppet Treasure Island’,

'The Dark Knight' Trailer Done 1960s Style

2011-11-10T11:38:00.000-05:00

Ever wondered what it would look like if the crew of the 1960's Adam West 'Batman' were to make a trailer for the dark and realistic world of 'The Dark Knight'? Well wonder no longer! Here it is! And as corny as it looks, I unashamedly admit that I would so watch this if it were ever actually made.

The Muppets Hangout on Google+

2011-11-09T14:22:00.000-05:00

Yeah... Here I am again with another Muppets update and video. So sue me. Either way, you know how Google+ was supposed to be the awesome Facebook killer? Well, as it turns out, it's not so much. The coolest feature of G+, though, had to be the hangout. It allowed for multiple people to video-chat realtime. Now, the Muppets and the creators of the new 'The Muppets' movie have taken advantage of

The FINAL Muppet Parody Trailer

2011-10-30T19:57:00.003-04:00

Okay. I realize that since my comic reviews are now on ScienceFiction.com, this blog is starting to look like a Muppet fan site and that's okay by me since I'm a HUGE Muppet fan. That said, here's the latest trailer for Jason Segel's new 'The Muppets' movie that hits theaters this November. Watch it whether you're a fan or not. It's funny. But honestly... if you're not a fan of the Muppets...

The New Muppets Theatrical Trailer In Glorious 1-D!

2011-10-14T09:55:00.000-04:00

I went to see 'Ghostbusters' on the big screen and when the new 'The Muppets' trailer popped up, I was in heaven! I was grinning like a total spaz and nearly bounding out of my seat! I can't wait to see this movie! I'm already planning my outfit for opening night and... ahem... I digress. Here's the new trailer for your Muppety enjoyment... And while I don't have any AMC theaters in my

2011-09-25T09:00:00.000-04:00

Shel Silverstein (1930-1999)To a man who never lost the magic of childhood and was so adept at sharing that magic with the world through his words and drawings.

Thank You, Mr. Henson

Jim Henson (1936-1990)Thank you, Jim, for creating so many worlds that dominated my childhood and for inspiring me to chase my dreams no matter how out there they might be.

Thrilling New Muppets Parody Trailer

2011-09-15T10:17:00.000-04:00

The Muppets Facebook page just posted a new parody trailer. They make you "like" the page to see it. I expect that most sane people would like a Muppet page already but, in case you don't, here's the trailer...

Kermit the Frog Adidas Sneakers

2011-09-09T20:01:00.000-04:00

The internet is abuzz about the new Nike Mag sneakers from 'Back to the Future II'. Actually... so was I until I saw THESE! Adidas will be releasing limited edition Kermit the Frog sneakers. They'll be available through City Sole as early as late October and in stores during the month of November. These would be perfect to wear with my Kermit tee when I go opening day to see 'The Muppets'! So.

Changes to Hyde and Geek

2011-08-02T12:54:00.002-04:00

I'm writing for another site (again) so I won't be double-posting my stuff both here and there. So, from now until further notice, my comic book news will be seen on ScienceFiction.com. You can find the latest headlines from me over on the right side of this page under the heading "The Latest Comic News from Scott and ScienceFiction.com". For now, all other writings (Muppets, Game of Thrones,

New Hi-Res Photos from The Amazing Spider-Man

2011-08-01T12:29:00.001-04:00

Check out these beautiful new hi-res photos of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone from next year's Amazing Spider-Man. As someone who grew up with Peter Parker as a kindred spirit, I am so excited for this film! I'm still not sold on the dark tone from the first trailer (which is posted below the pics for your viewing convenience), but... hey!... it's Spider-Man! (click any of the images to see them

Another New Muppets Poster Revealed!

2011-07-27T16:02:00.001-04:00

As anyone who's read my blog or tweets know, I'm a huge fan of the muppets and have been super excited about the new The Muppets film from Jason Segel and company. The movie comes out this November and looks to be channeling all the insanity and love that I expect from Jim Henson's iconic creations. Before I gush more, The Muppet Mindset today shows us some another theatrical poster and theater

Captain America's Avengers Uniform

2011-07-27T12:43:00.000-04:00

I found this image online of what someone says is Captain America's uniform from the upcoming Avengers film. It sure does look like what we've seen on the Avengers character posters. I like that it's a combination of the classic Cap suit with what he was wearing in the Captain America flick.
