Yeh yeh yeh blah blah financial blah…… WE ALREADY covered this a few months ago
Jay and Friday want to take time to thank all of yalls for stopping by the blog, hanging out, reading our stuff and adding your input! You are the best!
AS you know, this blog is a labor of love. Our love for comic books, pop culture, and all things fan-related! We strive half-assed-ly to write the very BEST blog possible in 15minutes or less – AND we’re gonna continue to post better stuff, like our CASTING COUCH for the LOBO MOVIE! and a new ‘What If…? Elongated Man were a porn star? (…cuz someone has to do it!)
Right now we are asking each of you to look deep, deep…>DEEP inside your wallets hearts, and find that special place next to your gullet - and that take that warm puppy-like fuzzy feeling….and translate that Gooey Goodness into donations. $$$
Yes, we do this for free. But we can do more with $1 per person! – AND because we LOVE YOU ALL. If Sally Struthers can feed the entire continent of Africa on $1 a day – SURELY we can bang out awesome blogs on $1 donations! So we need a concentrated effort from all of you……..
All 120,000 of youse!
120,000+ strong! – Which is waaay more than that Michelle Dugger lady could ever accomplish! (she of 19 kids…sheeesh!)
So – we shall add a Payapal ‘dough-nation’ button and PLEASE – make all donations to the cause!!

just kidding folks.
We just wanted to announce that the‘1st Appearances‘ section that you enjoy so much will be broken down into HEROES – VILLAINS – and CIVILIANS!
The new Kick-Ass trailer (and poster) is out – featuring HIT-GIRL! and she is THE REASON I am rushing to go see this movie!
***WARNING: NOT for minors! ***
.
O. M. F. G!! This may be the most bad-azz of all bad-azzest trailers…..EVER!
Kick-Ass is already a modern classic comic book – with 1st print prices going through the ROOF! Writer Mark Millar taps into the simple setup of what normal people would look like trying to be superheroes. The results are far less than spectacular lol. Like the poster tagline says: I may not fly; I may not have x-ray vision;I may not be strong….but I can STILL kick your ass!
And the biggest pay-off for me is seeing Hit-Girl in action on the big screen!
I admit, I have a certain ‘thing’ for movies featuring young girls wrecking havoc on people! You know….the ‘violent femme’ -type. Like young Natalie Portman in the classick ‘Leon, the Professional‘! (international version, mind you). Or Zhang ZiYi in ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon‘. Whoooo weee! Or, howzabout Go Go Yubari from ‘Kill Bill 2′?? Now SHE was badassss!
Trust me when I say that Hit-Girlwill be the GEM of the already awesome ‘Kick-Ass’ movie! You heard it here first
************************
Iron Man 2 looks to be another summer blockbuster, another great movie in Downey Jr.’s career, and another awesome comic book movie!
Not sure I would have chosen Whiplash from the pantheon of Iron Man villains (Mandarin, anyone???) – but hey, based on this teaser trailer….sure, why not?
Amazing how Robert Downey Jr exactly captures Tony Stark’s runaway ego and genius!
I admit I do have a nostalgic soft spot for Rutger Hauer err Mickey Rourke - and Don Chee is looking good for War Machine….but really- We here are dripping wet excited to Scarlett playing BLACK WIDOW! Whoo hoooo!
