I’m “Toy Story.” Which Pixar Movie are You?
When I took Buzzfeed’s Which Pixar Movie are You? I got Toy Story. It went on to say…
You are a natural leader and pioneer while also being easily approachable and well-liked — a balance you maintain perfectly. You may also have a thing for the ’90s.
I’d like to think that all those characteristics are true, except for the thing for the 90’s. I’m a 70’s guy.
George Romero Discusses Zombie Culture
George Romero recently spoke with CBR.com about zombies and a whole lot more. It’s definitely worth a read [or a listen if you prefer the video].
Jack Benny & Rod Serling in “Lost” Twilight Zone Episode
I’m a huge fan of The Jack Benny Show. I’m an even bigger fan of The Twilight Zone.
Can you imagine my surprise to discover that Jack Benny and Rod Serling starred in a “lost” episode of The Twilight Zone?

Thomas Boatwright’s Rocky Balboa Watercolor
Thomas Boatwright is back again this week [just as promised]!
Thomas recently ran a watercolor sketch sale and I jumped on board for a couple. Thomas came up with the idea of bookending the Rocky series. Here is his take on Rocky. The watercolor above is his riff on Rocky Balboa. Great idea by Thomas and I love the way the art turned out.
If you’d like to see more of Thomas Boatwright’s art check out his blog and his DA site. Send him some love.
If you get commissions, you should consider a piece from Thomas. He keeps you totally in the loop on his progress, finishes his commissions on or ahead of schedule, has very reasonable prices, is a fantastic artist and always gives you more than you’re expecting! – Craig
Raylan Givens is Justified
I won’t debate whether Justified is the best show on tv. There’s just too much competition [Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, The Black List, etc.] to quibble over first place. I will say if Justified isn’t the best show, it isn’t number 3.
I would argue that Raylan Givens (played by Timothy Olyphant] is the coolest character on tv.
Who Remembers “Crime Story”
Posted below is the opening to Crime Story, a short-lived crime drama from the 80’s. Man, I liked that show. It has so much potential.
Anyone else remember it?
Thanks to David Cranmer for reminding me.

“Fast 7” Teaser: This is Where Roads Part
I’m not sure if this is an official teaser or a fan-made poster for Fast & Furious 7.
It it’s not official, it should be.
If it is official, then the company that made it should take a bow.
If it is fan-made, some studio needs to find out who made it and hire him/her.

Buzzfeed posted 25 Facts You Didn’t Know About the Movie “Titanic.”
It was an interesting/fun read so I thought I’d pass it along.
The Devil Baby Attacks
Something tells me the prank video below is going to be better than the movie it advertises.
Parker, Shaner & a New Flash Gordon Series
Although I’m not a Flash Gordon fan, I will check out the new Flash Gordon series from IDW. That’s because Jeff Parker [writer] and Evan Shaner [artist] will be at the helm of Flash’s new adventures. Jeff Parker says…
“We’re bringing Flash back for a new audience. It’s over-the-planet high action and adventure where Flash’s spirit and optimism are as powerful as anything the forces of Ming the Merciless can dish out. We also have some of my favorite artists contributing covers – make no mistake, this book is going to absolutely kill!”
How Long Would YOU Survive?
According to this quiz at usvsth3m I’d survive ten years after the apocalypse.
That’s not bad. I could live with that… for ten years anyway.
LaTour & Aaron Preview New Crime Comic
I’m a long-time fan [as in before he went pro] of Jason Latour’s talent.
LaTour is a writer and an artist. LaTour drew the page above and all the art in his DA Gallery.
Now LaTour has teamed up with writer, Jason Aaron to create a new crime comic called Southern Bastards. USAToday recently previewed Southern Bastards, and Aaron summarized the series saying it is a…
“…love letter/hate rant to the South” mixed with the 1970s “redneck cinema” that gave pop cultureWalking Tall… It’s more a dark version of The Dukes of Hazzard if it was done by the Coen brothers…”
LaTour posted the Southern Bastards preview at his site. I’m getting my pre-order in to my local comics shop. If this looks like something you’d enjoy, you should too.
