I like this poster for the new season of The Walking Dead which premieres on February 10th.
I can’t imagine that if you have any interest at in all The Walking Dead, that you’re not watching it. It truly is one of the best shows going. In fact, I’d say that The Walking Dead, along with Justified and Sons of Anarchy are the top three.
That’s Florida’s Governor, Rick Scott in Daytona Beach, Florida, earlier this week addressing over 300 students from across the Volusia County district. You can make me out, like Bob Uecker, in the front row.
I was honored to be asked to speak to students about the importance of education prior to Governor Scott’s question and answer session with them.
So last month, I was hanging with Olympic Gold Medalists and this month, I’m sharing the stage with the Governor. ; )
I can’t wait to see what next month brings.
Guillermo del Toro introduces this short video that inspired his feature-length film, Mama.
Prepare to be creeped out.
Last September, 91 base jumpers from 17 countries met at Menara Kuala Lumpur and performed over 2,200 jumps in 3 days.
They say they’re not crazy, they’re awesome.
I say they’re a bit of both.

One of my all-time favorite crime comics, Gravedigger, makes a return on February 4th, 2013.
That’s right, Gravedigger by Chris Mills and Rick Burchett is making a comeback, and in a big way. Gravedigger will begin re-appearing as a web comic with weekly updates.
Mills & Burchett will start by serializing the original Gravedigger story, The Scavengers, and then will move on to a new Gravedigger tale, The Predators. The plan is to then collect both storylines into one graphic novel.
Kickstarter, anyone?
This news has absolutely made my day, and if you love great comics, my guess is it has made yours as well.
I’m not too excited about the poster for Dead Man Down, but the trailer looks awesome.
Directed by Niels Arden Oplev [who directed the original The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo], Dead Man Down stars Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Terrence Howard, Dominic Cooper and Armand Assante. Farrell plays a hit man seduced to kill a crime boss.
If that’s not enough to get you in line for a ticket, perhaps these Five Things to Know About Colin Farrell’s New Revenge Thriller will do the trick.
Dead Man Down has now moved up to my “must-see” list.
IMPAwards is running a poll to determine the best poster designs for TV series and Made-for-TV movies that aired during 2012. You can vote by going here.
I voted. My top five were [in no particular order]: Walking Dead, Justified, Logmire, Breaking Bad [seated], and The Client List.
This just keeps looking better and better!
One of the all time funniest routines is the classic Who’s on First made famous by Abbott and Costello. Today’s video is a worthy all-star follow-up.
Enjoy!
Have you seen this poster for Dwayne The Rock Johnson in Snitch? Yeah, well don’t feel bad. I hadn’t either until just a while ago.
I’ve got a bad feeling about Snitch. The trailer didn’t do much for me and neither does this poster. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Dwayne Johnson fan, but I just can’t get too excited about Snitch.
What other movie does the Snitch poster remind you of? A tough guy in a movie about a trucker who wants to save his son.
Over the Top anyone?
Yeah, I know. The movie plots for Snitch and Over the Top are totally different. Will it really matter though, if the end result is the same?
Thanks to IMPAwards where you can see a really big Snitch if you want.
Wishing you and yours the blessings of the season!
Merry Christmas!
Thanks and a tip o’ Santa’s cap to Jim Ivey who included the little drawings above on his last letter to me. Jim’s 87 and still rockin’.
