I met Colin Lawler at last year’s HeroesCon. I liked Colin’s art and enjoyed speaking with him, so getting a sketch was a natural. As you can see above, Colin decided on Demolition Man. What a great addition to my sketch collection!

And isn’t sunrise a little late in coming?

In Peter Stults‘ Movies from an Alternate Universe, Stults takes movie posters and re-imagines how they would look and who would star in them had they been made in a different era.
Since that post Peter Stults has created six volumes of re-imagined posters. Today, I’ve posted my favorite from the fourth set.
I’ll bet that once you check out the posters in the fourth volume, you’ll be surprised I didn’t pick one of the two Stallone-related posters. I am too, but Stults’ A Dame to Kill For is just so dead-on, it had to be the choice.
Wouldn’t you love to see a book of Stults’ Movies from an Alternative Universe? I would, too.

The trailer for 24 Legacy looks good. I think it was a smart move to go forward with a new 24 series even without Kiefer Sutherland since it opens up future “mini-series” that can go in a lot of different directions.

Jake Rossen and Mental_Floss present 13 behind-the-Scenes Facts About Shark Tank. Here are three of my favorites…
2. CONTESTANTS CAN SPEND OVER AN HOUR IN FRONT OF THE SHARKS.
While product pitches are typically aired in 10-minute segments, business owners are often hashing out details with the Sharks for an hour or more. “The first time, I was in there 45 minutes,” says Aaron Marino, who appeared in a season four episode with his Alpha M image consultation business and will appear a second time in this season’s finale on May 20. “The second time was an hour, hour-and-a-half. When you get into the minutiae of business numbers, they cut a lot of that stuff out.”
8. EVERYONE HAS TO SEE A PSYCHIATRIST.
Once entrepreneurs are done filming, they’re immediately whisked off-set and into a meeting with a show-appointed psychiatrist for an off-air evaluation. “They just want to work through how you’re feeling,” says Bandholz. “I’ve heard from other contestants that they can be devastated by their performance, or by what the appearance might mean for their business. It’s a very intense emotional roller coaster.”
9. MOST OF THE ON-AIR DEALS DON’T GO THROUGH.
While contestants who accept an offer from one or more of the Sharks seem to have it made, it’s little more than a handshake deal. Owing to the due diligence process, Hale estimates that more than two-thirds of deals that are agreed upon in the show fall through. “It’s more like a first date,” he says. “You go back and find things you don’t like. Sometimes the deal terms change.”

As a fan who has been touting The Walking Dead comic since issue one, it still surprises me how well the comic series translated into a tv series which caught on with the general population.
Not only has The Walking Dead tv series lasted six plus years, but has spun off the Fear the Walking Dead tv series and is now becoming a major attraction at Universal Studios.
