Anyone who cares can download my awesome AMV right there. Check it out!

Also, I have something for those of you who have always wanted to know a little more about Yatta!.

In other, well.. don't drink and drive

Thank you all!

And yes, I did have to say Humdinger.

Sorry about the lack of anything otherwise known as news, I have been busy debating whether I should change the way the site is coded or not. Just feel lucky that I even remembered to post the new comic for today.

Stay tuned for some real news later in the day.

On the topic of vampires we can expect Snipes back in Blade 3: Trinity. Now in the genre of comics we have Nicolas Cage as Ghost Rider, but that's not all, Cage will also be starring in Dead to Rights as Jack Slate.

Moving on to my anticipation of Chronicles of Riddick I decided to look into Diesel's future, much to my disappointment, I saw Fast and the Furious 3 where a new Triple X should be, I was even more disappointed to see that there will be a xXx: State of the Union, completely devoid of Diesel, with the uncalled-for substitution of Ice Cube. Fortunately we do have one Diesel film to look forward to, since everyone else is making historical films, why the hell not Hannibal?

I love sequels, and I was happy to see that both Barry Pepper and John Travolta will be in Battlefield Earth 2, then I saw Independance Day 2 and Se7en 2 and I remembered why most people hate the idea of sequels. Well, that's all I have for you right now, hope I improved the quality of your life and such.

The 8th of this month will be the 2004 Venus Transit.

Venus Transits occur approximately 4 times in 243 years, more precisely in pairs of transit events separated by about 8 years and these pairs are separated by about 120 years. The reason for these long intervals lies in the fact that the orbits of Venus and the Earth do not lie in the same plane and a transit can only occur if both planets and the Sun are situated exactly on one line (the "line of nodes"). It takes Venus about 225 days and the Earth about 365 days to circle the Sun. This means that when Venus returns to one of the nodes, Earth is not yet there, and vice versa. In addition, a couple of smaller, complicated effects lead to the observed long and slightly irregular intervals. Following the event in June 2004, the next Venus Transit will happen on June 6, 2012, and thereafter in December 2117 and December 2125.

If you feel like watching this happen, here is a nice map with the areas of Earth where the transit will be visble and for what duration.

On an even less related note, scientists have captured sattelite images that show a possible location for the famed city of Atlantis. Apparently they show remains of some rectangles and circles that Plato said existed a long time ago. The measurements between the landmarks are accurate with Plato's writings. This should make some Platologists and Atlantoleosts very happy.

Maybe equally as related as the Atlantis thing for the fact that it is also a sattelite, here is The Moon!!

Last but not least..well, yes least. Here are some pictures of clouds and stuff.

Crazy mammatus clouds

Crazy fireball type thingy

Crazy whatchamacallit type clouds

Ooh, UFO-ish looking clouds

Ok peoples, the show is over..go back to your homes. Nothing to see here.. move it along..

Crazy shit happened today, news at 11.

As for the news well.. uh.. I can't find anything interesting at this moment.

But Day After Tomorrow was good! :P

I was exposed for the first time to a full trailer for I, Robot, and all I can say is FUCKIN'SHIT! I know Will Smith's movies have had that general downhill trend, from the awesome Independance Day, to the still pretty great Men in Black, to the see it once and move on Wild Wild West, and to what should have been the death of his career, Men in Black II. I, Robot seems to have that Second Renaissance feel to it, that and maybe a little bit of Blade Runner's dark moral dilemmas.

Another first for me was the trailer for Alexander, starring Colin Farrell as, of course, Alexander the Great, the trailer had that, put together quick feel to it, the same feel Deep Impact had when it came running and out of breath into theaters right after Armageddon. Quick follow-ups aren't what they used to be though, with the massive amounts of money and technology now available to throw into a project. That in mind, along with Farrell's past films, and the fact that there was an elephant in the trailer, I think it might not be too bad.

We were also treated to a very lengthy trailer for Chronicles of Riddick, there's not much to say about this, at least not much that words can express. There were two other trailers, one that I am looking very forward to, Dodgeball, and another that just scares me, White Chicks.

Behold! The mighty power of Krang!

Yeah.. that's really all I got for now.

Other than that, it's good to see that Festus has finally gotten around to watching Bubba Ho-Tep. Good movie, that.

1. If you are going to use propane and charcoal, don't use gasoline as well

2. If you're going to use gasoline, put it in before the food is on the grill

3. If you use the restroom in someone else's home, check for toilet paper before commencing

4. If you're going to store the grill from October to May in a shed that will experience temperatures ranging from 0k to 100f inside, make sure it is empty, meet the Mummydog...

Aside from that I have a tidbit of toy news for you, the highly customizable Stikfas have announced the expansion of their lines once again, promising new figures like Phantom, Super Hero, Ninja, baseball and several others, among the classics of course, speaking of Stikfas, here's the Hessian Stikfa I did a little while ago, I'll take better pictures with my next project, I think I'll try to do Samus and Meta Ridley with the Beta Female and Dragon set.

We went to see Shrek 2 yesterday and, in the words of Jack Kielsmeier, it turned out to be quite "Awesome". It was like someone had built a fully automatic parody firing device that could shoot up to 200 rounds per minute. And not just crappy parodies..but the good ones ;)

Also, we watched Battle Royale and Battle Royale 2 the other day. Battle Royale was quite a good movie, however Battle Royale 2 lost its focus part of the way through. Still a pretty fun movie, but it felt like it was made for those with ADHD.

Oh, I think Festus wanted me to say some more stuff but I forget what all.. Thusly, I will let him add it himself in the morning if he sees fit to.

Now that I've covered a completely random topic, I think I'll run through a few things that are actually involved with this site. In case you didn't notice, I use toys to create the comics for this site, and I've got some meaty tidbits for you today. For some reason summer always means vast toy line releases, most likely correlating with the more whimsical summer movies, like Van Helsing, Spider-man 2, Chronicles of Riddick... So-on. The Van Helsing line by Jakks Pacific Inc. I got a look at this line and decided that Jakks should stick to toy trucks, Van Helsing looks more like Angus MacFadyen from Equilibrium and apparently now Frankenstein's monster is partially ethereal. All is not lost, however, they may redeem themselves with some of these, the Dracula's Bride Trio brings new meaning to the word "bust." There can't a be a Marvel movie coming out in theaters without at least some repercussion in the toy world, Toy Biz's new Spider-man 2 line promises highly dexterous Spider-men and several engaged versions of Doctor Octopus, since Spidey seems to be ToyFare's territory I guess we'll have to leave him alone... for now. Next, Sota Toys is projecting their Chronicles of Riddick line for early June. Lastly, leave it up to the amazing people at Palisades to bring us the good shit, like their badass Aliens vs. Predator line, the delightful AOD comic fodder, or greatest duo in history, even if SpikeTV did try to ruin their reputation. Well, I think I've done enough damage for right now.
