If You Hear A Strange Sound Outside

The Title:
The Cabin in the Woods
Release Date:
January 14th, 2011

Reasons why you should be excited:

1) It's directed by first time helmer and Cloverfield scribe Drew Goddard, a frequent writer for Lost, Alias, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel.
2) It's co-written by Joss Whedon himself. 'Nuff said.
3) It features the lovely Amy Acker (Angel, Alias, Dollhouse).
4) The rest of the cast is also great and includes the soon-to-be-Thor Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek).
5) It has an awesome set of teaser posters with great tag-lines (which you can view here).
6) It is apparently going to be a creature feature!

If these aren't enough reasons for you to at least give this film a chance then I don't know what could. We've still got a while before the film premieres (and Whedon and Goddard are keeping most production info under wraps), but I figured the numerous Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams connections (and the presence of Whedon himself as a writer/producer) were enough to warrant early coverage since I myself am a huge fan of both filmmakers. I've always wondered what a collaboration between the two might look like, and while The Cabin in the Woods isn't exactly that, perhaps it will serve as a preview of what I hope to eventually see someday.

This is a very Attractive Young Women Whom I would like Copulate with AKA ID TOTALLY HIT THAT!

Seriously, who wouldn't hit that?


1. She likes comics and video games
2. She looks great in a bikini
3. She is going to be in Iron Man 2
4. She is HOT

Olivia Munn is a self proclaimed nerd who is a co-host of the show Attack of the Show in G4. She is in a number of movie, including as mentioned before Iron Man 2. She likes posing in skimpy clothing/bikinis since she does it all the time. I think the only disappointing thing about her is that she was on the cover of playboy but wasn't nude on the inside. But hey, ill allow it. But regardless of all of these random facts I just gave you about her, when it comes down to it ID HIT THAT!

Cornbread's Favorite Comic of the week - 4/7

I decided that this week only warranted a Favorite comic of the week because of how small the week was for me. I think I picked up something like 5 books and all of them were pretty good. Regardless, here is my review!

Favorite Comic - S.H.E.I.L.D #1
*Warning Spoiler Alert*

First off, everyone know that this book was going to be good because it was written by Johnathan Hickman and he is freakin awesome! Secondly, any book that has promotional art with Leonardo Da Vinci is going to be awesome as well. Dustin Weavers art is spectacular and really brings to life Hickman's work and keeps the reader drawn in the whole time. This was a book I was so excited about I pushed it on almost everyone I talked to. It was neat to see the Origins of S.H.E.I.L.D as well as see how so many famous people from history were part of S.H.E.I.L.D and how they had an effect of protecting the people of the world. By far the coolest part of the book was when it showed Galileo and how he created a machine to combat Galactus, who is attacking Italy. Aside from all this history, there is also an overarching storyline about Leonid and his recruitment to S.H.E.I.L.D as well as his fathers involvement with the organization. I cannot find any faults with this book, it is pure greatness and I would not change a thing.

Hey, maybe if we are lucky they will make a movie out of it and they can have Chris Evans and Ryan Reynolds play every character! That would make it even better! WOOO

POST #125!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW.

I can't believe this is post #125!
and this post stinks!
Thank you all you guys and girls (ha)
that have posted your thoughts,
fears and heart aches.
So, what do you think?
Should we change the name?
Does blogsout.net suck?
Myself and friends have thrown other names around.
So please give me your hope and dreams on how to make this thing better.
I'm still amazed that this is post number 125. This is crazy, or crappy, I don't know.

Hey look, no page break.

Over the weekend I had the pleasure to be a part of the Raging Bullets podcast, joining hosts Sean Whelan and Jim Segulin in the last part of their Blackest Night coverage.  Raging Bullets has become one of the most successful DC Comics podcasts and have played hosts to people like Gail Simone and other comics creators in the past.

Sean and Jim are great ambassadors for the comics medium and if you don't already listen to their show, please consider giving them a shot. Raging Bullets goes very in-depth into their discussions so their episodes are pretty lengthy, but they are a lot of fun to listen to. If you're not careful you'll find yourself getting sucked into buying more books that you already do, because you can't help but get caught up in their enthusiasm for the subject matter. And Jared will thank you!  They always let you know what they found great in the books they are covering and spend more time talking about what they like than complaining about what they don't, which is refreshing giving all the negativity prevalent on the Internet.

Their Blackest Night wrapup, their 202nd episode, was released last night and can be downloaded directly by clicking here, or you can visit their website to get it as well as subcribing to the show via your favorite podcast catcher. You can also listen to their epsiodes on Get Your Geek On Radio, our own locally owned and operated Internet radio station.

And you'll at least be guaranteed to hear what a complete idiot I am!

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Review

I know this is very late, but I am going to do this anyway. Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is the latest Animated DC movie produced by Bruce Timm. I just going to get this out of the way, this is mixed bag.

The plot is a good Lex Luthor for another dimension jumps to the League's dimension in order to get help to deal with the Crime Syndicate (evil Justice League). Now the story is not the best but it is serviceable. The romance between the Martin Manhunter and the President daughter comes out now where and isn't need. Also their is an way to obvious reference to Aliens. But their are some cool moments such as evil Hawkman getting blow up, and the the fights are fun to watch.

Now the voice acting. James Woods does play Owlman well. His voice really hit home the cold and calculating personality of Owlman. Some voices seem out of place. Like Brian Boom, who plays Ultraman (evil Superman), who play like and Italian mobster. Also William tries a intimidating Batman voice but just does not quite succeed. The rest do their jobs well. Overall the voice work is not great but it isn't the worst.

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, is worth checking out, but definitely a rent before you buy.

Green Lantern Uniform will be CGI

One of the milestones that most Green Lantern fans are waiting for is the release of an image of Ryan Reynolds wearing the GL uniform. All of us hoping for a leaked image will be in for a disappointment with the news that Reynolds isn't wearing one.

No, he's not running around nude, but Warner Brothers is going a different route with Hal's uniform, one that will be either incredible awesome or incredibly lame. The costume, according to Slashfilm, will be computer generated in post production. According to their report, Reynolds is wearing a mocap suit similar to the one worn by Billy Crudup when he played Dr. Manhattan in the Watchmen film.

Astonishing Junk in the Trunk

*An excerpt from a post I wrote for my site early last March, posted here at Jared's suggestion.

Thrilling, well-written, and beautifully drawn, Marvel's current Astonishing X-Men series, launched by fanboy god Joss Whedon and artist John Cassaday, is getting a relaunch of sorts. I guess the official word in the comic industry is "reboot," which I don't really understand as this new arc, set to be released later this spring, is less of a reboot and more of a creative new direction. It won't be starting from scratch. Rather, this new story-line, a limited series titled Xenogenesis, will simply offer new readers a chance to jump into the Astonishing mythos without having to have read the thirty-five issues that will have already gone to print.

I'm cool with that idea. What I'm not entirely sold on yet is artist Kaare Andrews. I've glanced at some of his other work and, truth be told, he has some great stuff out there, but unfortunately his promotional art for this series isn't doing him any favors. I'm okay with Cyclops, Wolverine, and Beast, and Armor's look is pretty neat, but I'm not sure how I feel about Storm going back to the Mohawk, and I am definitely not a fan of Emma Frost's ghetto booty. I mean, I am all for artists making comic book women more real, but come on, that is way more than just a little bit of junk in the trunk. And is that her hair flowing down to her feet? What is up with that?

I only worry so much because a large part of why...

A Reason to Wake Up in the Morning

Hey everyone,
Last night I watched an episode of Man v. Food on Travel Channel. Don't know if youre familiar with the premise but here it is: this loud, fat guy (Adam Richman) goes across the country looking for these big challenges (i.e. try to eat a 72 oz steak in 40 minutes). He normally does at least one challenge an episode but when he isn't eating, he's showing you the other items on the menu at these places he's at. Now to where things get better.

This breakfast omelet is called the 'Smothered B.A.' Inside this beauty is a nice piece of country fried steak, hashbrowns, fresh jalapenos, onions, and cheddar cheese. This is beautiful. Oh wait, WHAT?!? That's not all!?!?! No, folks, it is topped with some homemade country gravy. I am crying out of love.

While it wasn't a challenge, it was certainly entertaining to watch and made me start to think that if I were ever to see one I might still be dreaming.

iPad, iSchmad!

Don't drink it!

In my real life I'm a technologist - I buy and implement technology for school districts in the Finger Lakes region of New York.  Part of my role includes visioning and determining how best to integrate technology into classroom curriculum.  I wouldn't say I'm a technology snob, but I do tend to analyze this stuff because schools can't afford to waste money and I won't spend taxpayers' hard earned cash on fads and over hyped gadgets that aren't dependable and can't be supported.

So of course a lot of people I work with have been asking me about the iPad.  I'll share with anyone who wants to read about it that you'd be wasting your money on this first generation attempt at a revolutionary device...and wait until HP launches their Slate later this year if you really want a cool gadget to surf the web on your couch or read color ebooks.  That is, of course, unless you're a Steve Jobs' Kool-Aid drinking Apple cultist who can't see logic through your rose colored iGlasses.

Abin Sur's Ship!?

There's been quite a bit of information coming out of New Orleans where the upcoming Green Lantern film has been shooting for the past few weeks. Some of the information is really amazing including a photo taken of a mysterious ship over the water that may very well belong to Abin Sur.

First off, we have confirmation on the role that Jay O. Saunders will be playing in the movie. Saunders was spotted on the set in the middle of March when filming began and the Old Point Bar, rechristened "Broome's Bar" for the movie. He will be portraying Carl Ferris in the movie, a role in the first draft of the script that didn't have much face time. Given that he was shooting at the bar there must have been more screen time added for the character in the subsequent rewrites of the movie.
