my cookout

I,m bringing back my cookout. This will be my first cookout i have had since summer 2007. For anyone who has never been to my cookout before let me give you a little history about my cookout. I had my first cookout the summer i turned 21 and my friends jim and mike came, i think my aunt ellen also came for a short time. I spent alot of money on food and drinks. My friends ate they weight in food that day. I did,t want to waste all that food so i told them keep eating. My coookout slowly grew in size over the years. My friends even gave my cookout a name, The all you can eat meat retreat. They called it that because at my cookouts theres nothing but meat. I had my cookout for 9 years in a row. It was,t fun for me to do anymore, I did everything myself, got the food, set things up, spent all day cooking, cleaning up that night or the next day. Since I have not had it in so long I thought it,s finally time to bring it back. I don,t know when it will be yet, I,m going to talk to people and figure out what weekend is good for everyone. I hope everyone can come to the return of the all you can eat meat retreat 2010.

book review

I just read a book called GEEKTASTIC STORIES FROM THE NERD HERD. It's a bunch of short storys about diffent kinds of geeks. You know people who love star trek, star wars, comic books, scifi, horror, bad movies, rocky horror picture show. The storys are all pretty good. Some are better then others. The first story is the best one. All of the storys are funny. Theres something for everyone. I liked the book. It was a good read. I say go to your library and check it out. I think everyone sould read it at least once.

iron man 2 review

I went to the movies with katie and pete and we saw iron man 2. It was awesome. My first summer movie and it was a blast. It's funniner then the first movie. I laughed though out the whole movie. This one is more exciting, it has more action then the original movie. Theres lots of shout outs to the comic books for all you comic book fans. The bad guy whiplash is good but we don,t see enough of him. scarlett johansson was great. She only has one little fight scene but it,s still good. When don cheadle suits up as war machine it's pretty cool. The fight between war machine and iron man was kick ass. The story was even good. The only bad thing i can say about the movie is the hero vs bad guy battle at the end of the movie was really short. I could,t believe how short it was. If you want to see just a fun movie then go see iron man 2. The great thing about these movies is that people like my sister who are not into comic books love these movies. Even my sister said she loved the movie. When it comes to movies like this you know if my sister likes it then you know it must be a good movie. So trust me even if your not into comic books, you,ll still enjoy iron man. I would say it,s better then the first one. I give it 3 and a half stars.

random thought of the day

24 finale review

I,M PISSED OFF. YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME RIGHT, THEY END IT WITH A CLIFF HANGER. THIS IS JUST WHAT I KNEW IT WOULD BE AND THAT IS IT WAS MORE A SEASON FINALE INSTEAD OF A SERIES FINALE. THE FIRST HOUR WAS ALL SET UP AND EVERYTHING HAPPENED IN THE LAST HOUR. WHAT LITTLE ACTION WE GOT HAPPENED IN THE LAST HOUR. I SAY FOX HAS TO BRING BACK 24 FOR ONE LAST GOOD SEASON AND GIVE US FANS A GOOD ENDING TO THIS SHOW. MY 1 YEAR OLD NEPHEW OR GODSON COULD HAVE WROTE A BETTER FINALE. EVERYTHING FELT SO RUSHED TOO. I,M SHOCKED THAT THIS IS HOW THEY ALLOW THE SHOW TO END. I HOPE AFTER SEEING THIS FINALE THAT FANS DEMAND FOX BRING 24 BACK NEXT YEAR. THEY NEED TO GIVE US FANS A ANOTHER SEASON TO MAKE UP FOR THIS SUCKY SEASON THAT JUST ENDED. WE NEED A REAL SERIES FINALE FOR 24. I,LL BE STARTING TO WATCH MY DVDS OF 24 SEASON 1 TO GET RID OF THE BAD TASTE OF THIS SEASON AND FINALE. I CAN,T WAIT TO READ THE REVIEWS FOR THE FINALE. I THINK FANS WILL BE JUST AS MAD AND PISSED OFF AS I AM. WE NEED ANOTHER SEASON TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THE FINALE.

random thought of the day

Well lost ends tonight. I was thinking about lost and also thinking about how when we get to the end of shows like lost, sould every question be answered. I think yes because fans have watched that show for x number of years and i believe fans sould get all there questions answered. The creators said they will not answer every question by the end series end. They said they want fans to still have things to talk about when lost is over. I think it,s wrong to withhold or not even come up with answers for questions that fans have. This goes to show the creators of lost did,t learn from the mistakes of chris carter and the x-files. The x-files was my generations lost. With every answer we got, we came up with 100 more questions. I feel like if the creators of lost did answer every question, those answers would just give fans tons of stuff to talk about. Those answers would lead to more questions. I really hope the series finale is nothing short of excellent. I hope lost fans get a much better series finale then the x-files got. I was really let down by the x-files series finale, so to all you lost fans GOOD LUCK. I can,t wait to read the reviews for the lost series finale.

Shrek 4 review

Well I saw shrek 4 today and I liked it. I think it,s good they are ending the series now. It,s running out of gas and also running out of story ideas. The movie is the most story driven out of the whole series. That's not a bad thing but it,s not as funny as the early ones. It,s better then the 3d one. Puss in boots is where all the best laughs come from. There is a scene where fiona asks puss who's a pretty kitty and he says me. That made me really laugh. It,s funny seeing puss looking so big, he makes you really laugh. We see fiona looking like a warrior and kicking lots of ass. It is interesting seeing the whole it's a wonderful life thing done with these characters but i think they could have done more with the idea. I think the problem is shrek started off as something both grown ups and kids could enjoy but the movies have become more for kids and that means the movies have lost that bite the early ones had. This one is more a fantasy then comedy. So don,t expect to laugh out loud. It does have it's funny bits but it's not as funny as the others were. It is a good ending. I,m glad i saw it and i,ll still buy it when it comes out so that i,ll have the whole series. Go to a early afternoon show. If you liked the others you will like this last shrek movie. I give it 2 and a half stars.

wipeout

The season premire of wipeout is june 22. It,s a game show where people have to try to climb past a wall that trys to knock them off by hitting them then they have to try running across 4 giant red balls and if they take too long then something knocks them off the landing. After they get though the first 2 rounds then they have to get though the main course. They have to try walking up this landing where water will come rushing at them to send them back to start again. The show is funny as hell. It is a good summer show. This is the shows 3d season.

my review of count blockula

My friend mike has his own website. It,s all about legos. He has a excellent imagination and can make anything out of legos. His website is countblockula.com and it has drawings, photos, models, a little video. Wait until you see his lego models they are awesome. He has gone to alot of lego cons, he has event met people who work for the lego company and have said they love his stuff. My friend jim is excellent at drawing pictures but my friend mike is excellent at bulding things with legos. Mike even had a lego display at a mall for awhile. His site is cool. Check out his website.

review of omega level

This is a website run by 2 friends of mine ian and allen drinkwater or from this point on will be called the drinkwater brothers. The website is all about movies, tv, music, comic books, video games, pop culture and beer. They pretty much do everything themselfs. when they write a review of something they might have a picture that will have funny screen caps. It,s a cool little site, all of there reviews are pretty damn funny. They pull no punchs, all of there reviews are honest and from the gut. The drinkwater brothers are just some greeks as they call themselfs that write about stuff they like, love, are looking forward too or just whats on there mind at that time. I say check out there website.

review of jogging with Llamas

I,m going to tell you about my friend jim biggies blog jogging with Llamas. His blog is about art, design, music, pop culture, movies, comic books. His day job is as a graphic designer, thats what he does to pay the bills. He is really a comic book writer thats about to make his big debut this fall. He wrote a zombie comic that will be in a horror anthology called zombie bomb. He has been working on his own comic book that will come out next year. You can see some of his artwork on his blog. His artwork is excellent,it,s always diffent and orignal. It grabs you right away and it,s something new that you will like or love. My friend has been working for a long time to break into the comic book world and he,s finally making his dream come true and i,m very happy for him. I told him i want the first signed copy of his comic book. This way i can tell people yeah i know him and also if he becomes the next stan lee in 20, 30 years i could sell his comic and become rich. I sould ask him for 2 signed copys, one to keep for myself and one to sell. I think everyone sould check out his blog, it is pretty cool. I give his blog 4 stars.

the end of law and order

Law and Order has been canceled. Law and order has been on the air for 20 years now. It is tied with a old western show called gunsmoke as the longest running tv series ever. I think it,s a shame that law and order will not get a series finale or a last season. I think it,s like having the red sox or pats win every game but for some reason they get told no you will not get to play the super bowl or world series. Sports fans would be in a uproar if that ever happened. Thats why you hear so ofen about tv fans getting together to save there fave tv shows from being canceled. The fans tell the tv big wigs this is what we want to see instead of whatever new crappy show you have planned. It pisses me off when a tv series does,t get a end. Law and order sould get a final season and a series finale but instead of giving the original series one last season, we will instead get another law and order spin off that will take place in LA. Hell they could give us law and order boston or melrose and i still would rather see the original series get one last season. This is one of those once in a life time things where i don,t think we will ever see another show last as long as law and order did. I,m not counting animated shows because they seem to usually last for a long time when the right cartoon comes along at the right time. It,s not right that law and order will not get a series finale.

history of doctor who part 2

The doctors time machine looks like a 1960's police call box. The idea for the doctors time machine was that it could make itself look like anything to better fit in whatever world or time the doctor would be in. In the very first episode the doctor is in london of 1963 so his time machine made itself look like a police call box. The doctor does have some bad guys that keep coming back time and again. His biggest bad guys are the daleks, the cybermen, and the master. The doctors oldest bad guys are the daleks. superman has lex luthor, batman has the joker, the doctor has the daleks. The daleks are aliens that live in these robot bodys. The daleks goal is to wipe out and kill everything until there is nothing left but the daleks. The master is a time lord like the doctor but he became evil and he is like the doctors darkside. If the doctor was like sherlock holmes then the master would be like professor moriarty. The cybermen are robots that have had human brains put into there bodys.

summer movie season

Well the summer movie season starts today with iron man 2. Then next week we get robin hood and the week after we get sherk 4. In june we get toy story 3 and the A-TEAM. In aug we get the expendables and predators. I hope to see iron man 2 this weekend. I,m a huge pixar fan so i,m very excited about toy story 3. I loved the old A-TEAM tv show. I have been open minded about the movie and the newest preview for it has now made me want to see the movie. I,m still not crazy about the new cast for the a-team but i do like that they are using the black van from the show. The expendables is a action movie that sly stallone made. It,s a thowback to the action movies from the 1980s. So expect lots of stuff blowing up, gun battles, man to man fights. The movie has alot of action stars and it looks like it sould be a fun movie. Predators really sould be called predator 3. I have yet to see the preview for it but it sounds like it sould be a good movie. What movies are you most excited for?

movie news

Well I just read we will get a sequel to the dark crystal. It will of course be in 3D. I,m getting sick of the fact that every damn big movie has to be in 3D now. I,m really sick of the whole 3D thing and the sad part is it,s just starting. I,ll have to put up with this 3D craze for at least another 2 or 3 years. I,m sad just thinking about that. I did love 3D movies at one time. I remember the first movie i saw in 3D was freddys dead and i loved it. After seeing avatar i now hate 3D and I want the 3D craze to end right now. I don,t like that movies that have already been made are being forced to have 3D added to them. Like clash of the titans got 3D forced on it after damn avatar became a monster hit. Even my beloved harry potter is having 3D forced on it and my problem with that is it means the start of the movie will be in 3D and theres big stuff that happens that people will miss because of the 3D.

tv on dvd news

Well guess which old tv show is finally coming out on dvd. MAX HEADROOM. Yes Max headroom is coming out on dvd this summer. It comes out sometime in august. It's the whole series. I already preordered it. I can,t remember the last time i watched max headroom. I know the f/x will look outdated and very cheesy and campy. I loved the show and i know i,ll have so much fun watching it.

my thoughts on nightmare on elm st

Freddy Krueger has always been my favorite movie monster. Out of all the movie monsters that came out when i was a kid growing up Freddy was the best out of all the movie monsters. Freddy stood out from the rest because he got you in your dreams. The other movie monsters were cool and scary in there own ways but they were no way near as scary as Freddy. Freddy wanted to scare you, mess with your mind before he killed you. Freddy in the early movies would be in the shadows, you never got a good look at him until it was too late. You never knew if what was happening a dream or if it was for real. So the movies would keep you guessing. In most horror movies during the 1980's you never really cared about the teenagers but you did care about them in the nightmare movies. Freddy was the stuff nightmares are made of. Freddy also stood out because he talked unlike the other monsters like jason and michael myers who never said anything in there movies. Freddy's glove was also new and diffent from anything else we had ever seen before. Freddy in the dream world could be anywhere and make anything happen. You really could't run away from freddy and the only way you cloud get away from Freddy is by wakeing up. The nightmare on elm st movies were the most original horror movies during the 80's. Wes Craven a nightmare on elm st will always be one of my all time favorite scary movies.
