The Walking Dead

Posted on by

The Walking Dead posterIn 2010, AMC launched it’s new series, The Walking Dead. A modern Zombie story about a group of people who find themselves among the last surviving members of the human race, at least in the Atlanta Area.

The story centers on Rick Grimes played by Andrew Lincoln. Rick was a police officer who was hospitalized during the zombie outbreak and wakes up to a world gone mad. He’s been in a coma for a good while and has no clue what happened.

Conveniently, he meets up with some good people, and ends up conveniently, finding the group that his wife & son are with. As is his former partner, who’s been having an affair with his wife. Hilarity ensues. Well, except for the zombies.

You don’t see that many zombies in modern television but with the success of the vampires and werewolves these days, you can see why they want their own series!

Chris and I watch the short first season (6 episodes) and I thought we liked it. When we heard they were coming back for a second season, I was happy. Chris has cooled on the whole zombie narrative however. So I’ll be on my own.

During San Diego ComicCon this week, the trailer for season 2 was revealed and it’s hard core. They are really ratcheting things up, and apparently moving back toward the original comic/graphic novel story, despite last year’s CDC storyline.

Anyway – here’s the trailer. WARNING – It’s graphic.

Enough of the men

Posted on by

I think I owe some of you an apology. Over the last while, I’ve posted more than a few pictures of men, mostly in various states of undress. And while some of you appreciated it, some of you also did not. So, to that end, I’m not going to post them here anymore. I’ve created a brand new blog, totally separate from this one.

If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll send you the link once it’s complete and open to the public. It’s going to be a “user-oriented” site with voting and stuff. Fun!

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

FailBlog: Footloose Fail

Posted on by

Failblog is full of fascinating examples of people doing dumb things. Whenever I’m feeling down, I visit the holy quint-ology of sites that make me smile.

  1. I Can Has Cheezburger (aka LolCatz)
  2. I Has A Hotdog
  3. Engrish Funny
  4. RoflRazzi
  5. Fail Blog

While I don’t recall seeing this on their site, I did find it on YouTube in their channel and thought it was hysterical.

Given the recent news about Zac Efron trying to re-make the classic Kevin Bacon film Footloose (which is a treasured film for me and many others) you wonder if this isn’t why they’ve stopped for now. I know this isn’t Zac, he’s much cuter than this guy, and better dancer, but a remake of a classic film like Footloose could end up going just as badly as this video. Have a look…

While I have no doubt Footloose will get remade at some point, much to the disappointment of those of us who remember the original, and are forced to take our kids to see the remake, I would really hope it doesn’t go as badly as some other remakes.

In the meantime, it’s easy to laugh at this douche’s bad acting, bad dancing, and inevitable fail.

Bullying victim faces jail

Posted on by

Thanks to Twitter and @Unmarketing for pointing out this appalling story.

Basically, a month after The huge anti-bullying rally across Canada which had thousands of people showing their support by wearing a pink shirt, we get this story.

Rob Scorcia was bullied for years and nothing ever really happened to the bully. Rob reported it to school authorities, police, parents etc and it just kept happening and escalating.

So one day Rob takes an imitation gun and threatens the guy with it. Which was dumb, but considering there was no real danger, and nothing happened beyond a verbal threat you would expect it to end there.

Instead, Rob was arrested and charged with using an imitation handgun in the commission of a robbery and now faces a year in jail for it. An automatic one year sentence. The jury in the trial didn’t believe or didn’t consider the fact that he’d been bullied for years.

It’s a mis-carriage of justice in my lay-opinion. Not that Rob was in the right, but that the bully has gotten away with years of this crap and then turns around and has Rob arrested because he finally stood up.

I’m sure there’s way more to this than I’ve read or inferred from one article, but I wanted to vent and share this with you.

The family is trying to raise money for an appeal.

And the bully?

In his second day at college this year, he got charged with sexual assault for pushing and fondling a female student and robbery after a male student was repeatedly kicked and spat on during a demand for his property.
