“Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” Gets 2 New Teasers
The fearless vampire hunters over at ComingSoon posted two new tv treasers for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I like ’em both.
Jamie Foxx is One Bad Cowboy
That’s one mean lookin’ cowboy. Almost hard to believe it’s Jamie Foxx in a publicity still for Quentin Tarantino’s Django set for a Christmas 2012 release. I’m a Tarantino fan and apparently so are Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Gerald McRaney, Don Johnson, Anthony LaPaglia, Tom Wopat, James Remar, and James Russo since they’re appearing in the film along with Jamie Foxx.
You can see more stills for Django here thanks to the cowboys at ComingSoon.
Chris Flick Awards Sly…
Chris Flick of Capes and Babes makes his first appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. I had the good fortune to sit with Chris, Thomas Zahler of Love and Capes , LittleJohn312 and Patricia at last year’s Heroes Con Drink and Draw event. What a great evening! Ah, but I digress…
Chris Flick worked up this cool sketch of Sly accepting a well-deserved award for his amazing working on Rambo. You can learn more about Chris as well as check out his popular Cape and Babes webcomic.
Premium Rush Could Be
Premium Rush looks like it could be.
A bicycle messenger [Joseph Gordon-Levitt] is given a package that has to be delivered in 90 minutes. When a mysterious man tries to take the package, Levitt finds himself in a life or death situation with some very bad people.
The Walking Dead Marathon is Coming [to get you, Barbara]!
AMC has announced that it will run a Walking Dead marathon of all 19 episodes on July 7th and 8th. The event will also feature the world premiere television broadcast of the first episode in black and white, as well as a sneak peak at season three.
Thanks and a full color tip o’ the sheriff’s hat to Spinnoff Online.
Did You Hear About the Time-Traveling Attorney?
Andrew Basiago is a Seattle attorney who, since 2004, has been publicly proclaiming that as a child he was involved in a government sponsored time-travel program known as Project Pegasus. According to Basiago, the US government has had time-travel technology for over 40 years.
Basiago further claims that, as a child he time-traveled to [and was photographed at] Gettysburg when Lincoln gave his famous speech. If you click over to this article at the Huffington Post, you can see the photograph from 1863 of the child that Basiago claims is him, taken while on his time-travel mission. You can also view a video of Basiago talking about his time-travel experiences.
Wow! Andrew Basiago’s claims make his childhood sound like a cross between Johnny Quest and The Time Tunnel. Both of which, were more plausible.
Exhuming “The Walking Dead” With Charlie Adlard
CBR.com caught up with Walking Dead artist, Charlie Adlard, and got him to talk about what it’s like to work on the world’s greatest and longest running zombie comic.
Jack Robinson’s Time Machine
Jack Robinson was a photographer for Vogue in the 1960’s. After he died in 1997, many never-before-seen prints were found in one of his chests. This shot of Clint Eastwood along with other photographs of Cybil Shepherd, Michael Caine, Elton John, Tina Turner, Ralph Lauren, Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson can now be seen at Buzzfeed

New Trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
ComingSoon scored a first look at the latest trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Although this trailer isn’t as exciting as past teasers for the movie, it doesn’t make me want to see Abe hunting vampires any less.
Greg Rucka on Alpha and More
I first discovered Greg Rucka through his Attikus Kodiak* novels. I then continued to follow Rucka to other novels and comics. Rucka’s writing is always entertaining and worth checking out.
I’m currently reading [and enjoying] his latest novel, Alpha. You can learn a bit more about Alpha and Greg Rucka by reading this short interview with him at CBR.com.

UFC Results and Thoughts
UFC 146 on pay-per-view last night was an excellent card, Here are the results and my thoughts on the three top fights:
- Roy Nelson vs Dave Herman
Prediction: Nelson by decision
Result: Nelson won via first round KO [51 seconds] [Making me 1-0 for the night]
Thoughts: Nelson is a fan favorite with power and he showed it last night.
- Cain Velasquez vs. Antonio Silva
Prediction: Velasquez by TKO
Result: Velasquez by first round TKO [3:36] [Making me 2-0 for the night]
Thoughts: Velasquez took Silva down and swarmed him with punches and elbows which opened up a cut producing one of the bloodiest bouts in memory. Velasquez should be next in line for a title shot.
- Junior dos Santos vs. Frank Mir
Prediction: Although the odds are against him, Miir is my favorite fighter so in an huge upset special – Mir by submission.
Result: JDS won via second round TKO [3:04 seconds] [Making me 2-1 for the night]
Thoughts: JDS and Mir are both class acts with each praising the other after the fight. Mir couldn’t get JDS to the canvas and JDS was not willing to go there, so the fight remained a stand-up battle that ended as predicted.
Other thoughts:
- Jason Mayhem Miller rocked CB Dollaway a couple of times but had no answer when CB took him to the mat and rode him for the remainder of the rounds. Of course CB couldn’t do much except ride, so it made for a boring match met with a lot of boos. CB won the decision and Miller was cut from the UFC.
- Brock Lesnar was in the crowd and it was reported that he wanted to meet with Dana White causing speculation that Lesnar may want to return for another run. My guess is that if Lesnar was thinking about a return to the UFC, it would have been for a title shot if Mir had won.
UFC 146 Predictions
UFC 146 airs on pay-per-view tonight and it features three fights of interest:
- Roy Nelson vs Dave Herman
Prediction: Nelson by decision
- Cain Velasquez vs. Antonio Silva
Prediction: Velasquez by TKO
- Junior dos Santos vs. Frank Mir
Prediction: Although the odds are against him, Miir is my favorite fighter so in an huge upset special – Mir by submission.
