Supernatural, Horror tv for the discriminating viewer

   Supernatural on the C.W. network is consistently one of the best genre shows on T.V., the mix of humor and horror blends well for this cult show that everyone should be watching. The show deals with a pair of demon hunting brothers with the last name Winchester and their quest to avenge the deaths of those close to them.
  The first few seasons were nothing short of magical, with episodes that I would put up against any horror fiction out there (crossroads was my personal favorite) and this is definitely a show you have to watch in order. The last couple of season though have gotten a little heavy handed with the Angels Vs. Demons angle and the preaching about the evils of religion and how God doesn't care about his creations.    That being said the two main characters and Bobby Singer (their surrogate dad/demon hunter) have some of the best on screen chemistry I have ever seen. This one is well worth checking out.

Muppets and other news

So sorry no posts for a couple of days I have been kinda busy. In the last couple of days we have gotten word from hollywood about a new Muppets movie coming out this Thanksgiving.  Now any true Muppets fan will know that they have not been the same since Jim Henson died, but this one might be worth a look never the less.  More info on the Muppets movie can be found in my other blog here .

Macho Man Randy Savage

Sorry to go depressing on this one gang but I just found out that The Macho Man just passed away. Randy Savage was a major part of my childhood, I used to wake up early on Saturdays so I could watch him wrestle. He was and still is my favorite wrestler of all time. I know it may seem silly to mourn an entertainer that I don't know personally ( I did meet him once) but this is really tearing me up today. I haven't felt like this since I heard Lux Interior died (if you dont  know who he is go buy a Cramps C.D. right fuckin now). So as my poor tribute to the great Macho Man tonight I will be watching some vintage matches featuring him, and here's hoping he dropping the atomic elbow on some angel in that big wrestling ring in the sky. Via Con Dios Randy we will miss ya.

Dynamic Forces the only way to buy comics

I just ordered some stuff from Dynamic Forces, and am proud to say as always they are a top notch company. In the past I have ordered several of their random daily deals and wound up with signed comics by Stan Lee, John Romita Sr., Billy Tan, and Greg Pak for pennies on the dollar of what they were worth. For any serious collector they are well worth checking out and if they read this and want to send me some free swag well that would be ok also. www.dynamicforces.com

L.A. Noire or why rockstar seems to want to rip off gamers

L.A. Noire Sucks!!! This has to be one of the glitchiest damn  games I have ever played. Unexplained freezes, pixelization, frame rate issues, and lag (even during single player play, which makes no since). This is a case of Rockstar rushing to market befor enough beta testing was done. So until a patch is released that addresses these problems I would give this one a pass.  Alice, the madness returns is in 2 weeks I have high hopes for that one.
