Believe it or not, at one point in time comic book movies were simply movies. Standalone features, the only cinematic universes they shared were their respective sequels… if they were fortunate enough to get one. Life prior to the MCU and DCEU was incredibly interesting. Don’t get me wrong, studios put headliners like Batman, or Spider-Man, or X-Men on the big screen but a couple lesser known characters also got the live action treatment. Blade, Spawn, even DC’s supernatural, chain smoking (depending on what version), detective John Constantine. Ah the Constantine franchise, something with a ton of entertainment potential but…

Hall hail the Mentum! Which I think is either Latin for the chin or the area also known as the mental region. An under trumpeted attribute of the human face if you ask me. The chin is as equally as important in shaping the face as your forehead, eyes, nose and mouth. Sometimes it’s the final compliment to a perfectly symmetrical dome. Or sometimes it looks like you have an infant’s backside glued to the top of your neck forcing you to wipe after sneezing. Thank you Farrelly Brothers for that one. Now I’m not ready to start up the…

I honestly hope that every single one of you have watched the 2015 short film turned lightweight cultural phenomenon, Kung Fury. It’s basically a casino buffet of an homage to 1980’s action movies, video games, and of course… martial arts. Now if seeing Miami’s greatest hero take on Nazi’s and Dinosaurs isn’t your idea of a great time, I’m not sure what’s wrong with you. The original short got a ton of rightfully deserved attention, so much so that someone decided to greenlight the sequel. And as MovieWeb.com reported on May 16th, Kung Fury 2 will begin shooting this summer with…

You’ve seen Honey, I Shrunk The Kids right? It’s a classic 1989 non-animated Disney feature presentation about a quirky inventor named Wayne Szalinski, played by the retired yet not forgotten Rick Moranis, who has a machine capable of shrinking things down from normal to miniature sized. If you couldn’t tell from the title, the movie gets complicated when his kids, and two of the neighbor’s kids, are shrunk to a quarter of an inch, thrown in the trash, then sent on a crazy adventure through the front yard in hopes of being restored to their regular measurements. The film was…

If Stephen King’s It, yes the one from 2017, scared the crap out of you, just know it could have been weirder, and more terrifying. Believe it or not there was a scene deemed too frightening to make the final cut. TheIndependent.com reported that they were actually going to have a pre-clown Pennywise mauling a six-year old child during Derry’s Pilgrim years. Yeah… one could understand how it might have been a little much. But also, I feel the audience was deprived of getting a chance to see our shape-shifting killer Bozo in a setting we’ve never seen before which…

Finally, the experimental metal band Tool announced the release date for their new album. August 30th, 2019. Did you think it was ever going to happen? Personally I felt we were on the verge of another Chinese Democracy but now that I know the record is on its way, I’m literally praying to our Lord and Savior that the new Tool album is the farthest thing from Guns & Roses’ Slashless blowpus, Chinese Democracy. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the reference, I’ll briefly explain. Believe it or not but at one point Guns & Roses were on…

Karen O… Danger Mouse… never has a modern day musical pairing made more sense since David Byrne and St. Vincent. If tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, their 2019 collaborative effort known as Lux Prima would easily be on my now semi-infamous “Top 8 Albums Of The Year” article that I write for Nerdbot. And not to give away a spot on that list too early, but I have a sneaking suspicion I’ll be writing about this record again. According to the New York Times their joining was derived from a drunk dial phone call O. made to Brian Joseph Burton…

The high school version of me is creaming in his imitation Jnco jeans. Incubus, you remember them right? On May 6th, ConsequenceOfSound.net reported that the Southern California one time funk metal and now more alternative rock band will hit the road for their 20 Years Of Make Yourself And Beyond Tour. While their article doesn’t specifically state the band will play their breakthrough 1999 album in its entirety, I’d bet they bust out the full record the moment the lights go out. Why not? Everyone else is doing it. I saw Third Eye Blind rock their debut record live and…

Nicolas Cage always seems to be playing a game of how far can I go off the rails. As if the last couple of years he’s become more known for his obscure off screen antics than what he’s actually done on screen. Which kinda sucks because Cage has flown under the radar recently and knocked out a couple solid performances. I’ve heard good things about Mandy and Joe was every bit of raw in all the right ways. It’s like he grew a beard and became an entirely different actor. So in the endless cycle of “Cageanigans”, ConsequenceOfSound.net reported on…

Alright, it’s been a couple of days, so if you haven’t watched the latest episode of Game Of Thrones… number one, what is wrong with you? And two, find something else to read ASAP because there are going to be spoilers. Oh yes, there will be spoilers. Now I’m not going to review the episode because honestly I’m still processing the greatness of what took place on our television screens this past Sunday. Even though you could hardly make out what was happening sometimes, I personally feel that HBO delivered a signature installment of the show, but possibly some of…
