Prometheus Worldwide
I’m diggin’ the new international poster for Prometheus and am really looking forward to the movie experience.
Thanks and a tip o’ the space helmet to IMPAwards.
You Nazty Spy!
In January 1940, as World War II raged in Europe, The Three Stooges filmed one of their most popular shorts, You Nazty Spy!
Not only was You Nazty Spy! Moe and Larry’s favorite of all their shorts, it also marked the first time that Hitler was spoofed in film and Moe was the first American actor to play Hitler.
You can read more interesting and amusing facts about You Nazty Spy! here and here.

Walking Dead 100 Issues & Something to Fear
It’s hard to believe that The Walking Dead is about to hit issue 100. It seems like just yesterday I was signing the praises of the first issue. Now Robert Kirkman is getting ready to celebrate the centennial issue.
Thanks and a swing of a barbwire-wrapped bat to [not at] the fine folks at CBR.com.

Eli Minaya’s Rambo
The Rambo drawing above is by the very talented Eli Minaya. I met Eli at this year’s MegaCon. I’d never seen Eli’s art before, but decided on the spot to see about getting a con sketch from him. Eli was up for it and Rambo seemed the natural choice. As you can see from the piece above, it was.
Are You Going to Si “El Gringo”
While we’re on the subject of drive-in movies, how about a look at the trailer for El Gringo?
And a tip o’ the sombrero to Chris Mills.
Shuffle – Deal Me In
I’m a fan of what I affectionately call drive-in movies. You know, low-budget, high-concept films that seldom rate an all-star cast, but have great entertainment value. Shuffle looks to fit the bill…
- It’s the story of a man played by TJ Thyne “who begins experiencing his life out of order; every day he wakes up at a different age, in a different year, on a different day of his life.” He “has no idea why he keeps waking up at different points in his life. Using clues from each experience, he begins to piece together why this keeps happening to him and sets out to end it once and for all.”
If Shuffle sounds like something you’d like, here’s the trailer and if it’s not your cup of tea, come back tomorrow and we’ll talk about something different.
Sly Says…
With the Sly’s recent discussion about a new Rambo story brewing, there’s been a lot of speculation that Sly might kill off everyone’s favorite warrior. I received word from Sly who writes….
- “When I said he goes out in a blaze of glory I didn’t mean his physical demise at all. Rambo will fade into perpetuity. Thank you.”
So no need to worry, Rambo’s not gong to see the Grim Reaper anytime soon! – Craig
Mitch Byrd: Rambo
This is my second Mitch Byrd sketch. You can see the first here. It’s rare to see Mitch at conventions but I’ve been lucky enough to meet up with him at MegaCon a couple of times. When Mitch makes an appearance, I try to get on his list. Look at his art and you can see why.

Since a picture is worth 1,000 words, I just saved 989.
