Crimeland is a graphic novel by writers Felipe Ferreira & Ivan Brandon and artist Rafael Albuquerque that you might want to pick up. I’m putting in my order for a copy. If the story seems familiar it’s because I first told you about the comic HERE and then HERE and even provided a link to a preview of the book HERE.
I usually enjoy Will Smith’s movies. I definitely like the idea of him in “I am Legend.” If the movie is a cool as this poster, we’re in for a fun couple of hours.
The trailers for “Shoot ‘Em Up” and “American Gangster” became available today. Enjoy!
It looks like CBS will bring back the recently canceled “Jericho” thanks to thousands of calls, messages and even shipments of nuts from fans of the show. “Jericho” fans arranged for a delivery of 50,000 pounds of peanuts to CBS’s New York offices. In the season finale, a character replies “Nuts!” to a demand that the town of Jericho surrender or be slaughtered. Since the show was canceled, fans of the show joined together and created a concentrated effort to bring the show back. There efforts look to have paid off since a source close to the production has been quoted as saying a decision to bring the show back at least for a midseason run, is imminent.
Mike Wieringo’s blog is a daily stop for me. Truth be told, I stop by his internet club house as much for his thoughts as his art [ok… maybe a bit more for his art… but just a bit]. Mike regularly posts up a daily sketch and his thoughts about it. You can never tell what will be Mike’s inspiration. Sometimes it’s a tv series, a movie or even something that he drew because no one would expect it from him. His rationale for the daily sketch is the icing on the cake. Drop by his newly redesigned and updated site, my guess is you’ll bookmark it and be back often.
I don’t have a lot of music posts on the ZONE because most of what I listen to is older stuff. I’m especially fond of 70’s music, but my tastes run all over the board.
Today I’m linking to a popular video/song by Carrie Underwood. It’s called “Before He Cheats.” What’s surprising to me is how enjoyable I find the song. It’s not surprising because the song is country, it’s surprising because the song is about an obsessed, vengeful, hard-drinking, law-breaking woman who is not only out for revenge, but gets it. Kind of reminds me of Jessica Walter from “Play Misty for Me.” Still it is a catchy tune.
From time to time I enjoy surfing YouTube to see what gems I can find from my childhood. Today I present the season three opening to Lost in Space.
I can remember being in elementary school and Lost in Space was THE show to watch. The show might not hold up as well as I remember it, but I’d still take the Lost in Space robot over R2D2 and C3PO!
I’m always ready for Heroes. It’s my favorite comic con of the year due to it’s laid back atmosphere and the amount of talent that the show attracts. I didn’t think that it would be easy for Shelton to top last year’s guest list, but this year’s is mighty impressive! And I just found out that Dave [100 Bullets] Johnson, Rafael [Conan] Kayanan, and Andrew [Dusty Star] Robinson will be sharing table space alongside my best bud, “Big” John Beatty.
Yeah, I’m always ready for Heroes… and now more than ever!
