The Princess Bride is one of those movies that the only people I know who don’t like it, haven’t seen it. Truth be told, I didn’t think I’d like The Princess Bride, but after seeing it, loved it.
Recently, Princess Bride director, Rob Reiner attended a live screening and provided commentary and behind-the-scenes anecdotes.
Thanks and an extra finger for his right hand to Bill Crider for the post.
The Dayton Daily News twice accidentally switched the captions for Gary Larson’s The Far Side and Hank Ketcham’s Dennis the Menace. Hilarity ensued.
Thanks and an extra caption to Neatorama.
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
When you think of stars that Arnold has shared screen time with, how long would it take for you to get to Lucille Ball?
Forever, right?
Not if you’ve seen the clip below!
Chris Flick of Capes and Babes makes his second appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. I had the good fortune to sit with Chris, LittleJohn312 and Patricia at last year’s Heroes Con Drink and Draw event. What a great evening! Ah, but I digress…
Chris Flick worked up this cool sketch of Sly wondering why he was invited to be an Avenger. You can learn more about Chris as well as check out his popular Cape and Babes webcomic.

My guess is that at some point you’ve thought about how cool it would be to be invisible.
Yeah, me too.
I always thought that the ability to become invisible would be one of the best super powers ever. After seeing the video below, I’m going to have to rethink that.

I just learned that Bob Carter passed away yesterday at the age of 83. Mr. Carter was better known to his thousands and thousands of fans as Sammy Terry.
If you grew up in the midwest (especially Indiana) in the 1960’s, odds are you couldn’t wait for each weekend to roll around and for Sammy Terry to present his unique brand of humor coupled with a monster movie or two.
From 1962 until 1989, Sammy Terry hosted Nightmare Theater [later called Shock Theater] and made personal appearances at events throughout the state. Sammy was a big part of many kids’ childhoods, mine included.
Although I’m glad his Sammy Terry character will live on, I’m sad to report the passing of Bob Carter.
A public memorial will be held Friday, July 5, 2013 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Singleton Mortuary, 7602 Madison Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46227.
Recently Eddie Deezen posted a nice tribute to Moe Howard at Neatorama. In the piece it tells of the time that a fan asked Moe, “How long the Three Stooges would go on.” Moe’s response…
“Forever is a long time, but with a little luck, we just might make it.”
We can only hope, Moe. We can only hope.
My guess is it won’t take you long to figure out how this fun video magic occurs and once you know, you’ll still get a kick out of it.
I don’t often workout, but when I do, I use a treadmill.
Stay healthy, my friends.
The Movie: Iron Sky
The Pitch: “Moon Nazis attack the Earth!”
The Tagline: “We Come in Peace”
The Story: In 1945, Nazis loyal to Hitler escaped to the dark side of the moon. Unknown to those on Earth, the Nazis survived and flourished. Flash forward to 2018. The Nazis are now ready to attack the planet.
The Screenplay: Michael Kalesniko from a story by Timo Vuorensola
The Director: Timo Vuorensola
The Cast: Julia Dietz, Christopher Kirby, Gotz Otto .
The Good: This teaser from 2007 (at that point the movie was just an idea). Now that you’ve seen that, you’ve seen the best of what Iron Sky has to offer. Ok, some of the special effects visuals are cool.
The Bad: The movie. Way too many attempts at humor that fail. Yeah, we get it. The Nazis are shocked that a black man is an astronaut. Hardee-har-har. Yeah, it’s real funny in 2018 that Sarah Palin is President. What? Another joke about the black guy? Ho,ho, ho!
The Ugly: How my expectations for Iron Sky were dashed. After seeing the teaser in 2007, I thought the movie might be cool. Then in 2012, I saw this trailer and pretty much knew it would be bad.
The Rating: D
