WORLD-FAMOUS ‘BLANKA BOYZ’ Teaser Trailer: Prepare your mind-anus.

BLANKA BOYZ.

Every once in a while, I stumble across a snippet of madness that speaks to the deep psychological chasms within me. The most latest find comes courtesy of our own Faux Bot. Behold the Blanka Boyz teaser trailer. Shrouded in mystery with its actual conceit a secret, I know not what this feature program-YouTube hallucination shall ultimately sport. What is clear to me however, is that whatever shall be birthed onto the slithering pipes of the Tubes shall rearrange our carnal knowledge (you don’t have it?) of the Faux forever. The Blanka Boyz are coming, and none of us can stop ourselves from getting wet.

Opinions Vary: You’re Special

opinions vary

You’re special. Doesn’t that feel good to hear? There is only one you in the whole, wide world. The feeling of being special is an innate function of the human psyche. Of course it comes in a million different shapes and forms, but our primal need to feel special drives much of the world as we know it. Today we are going to examine this phenomenon through my jaded little world-view, and see where it takes us. To be honest, I’m not exactly sure where this is going to go. But this is happening. Now.

LAST SEASON on Game of Thrones, Part II: “Valar Morghulis” – Fire, Ruin & Promise

210WalkerArmy

This is the image Season 2 left us with last year; a horde of White Walkers and wights marching on the Wall.

The third book in Martin’s fantasy saga, A Storm of Swords, opens with this scene. It was moved to the end of the second season of Game of Thrones to up the cliffhanger quotient for a finale, and that was probably a very smart decision judging by its reception.

Before Season 3 kicks off this Sunday on HBO, let me remind us all where we left off, and guide us back with some potent imagery from “Valar Morghulis”.

LAST SEASON on Game of Thrones, Part I: “Blackwater” and Sound Design

Does everyone remember this moment? Explosive, practically living wildfire punctuating the climax of the Clash of Kings. Half of HBO’s budget for season two of Game of Thrones blown in one orgiastic fell swoop.

When I popped the disc for Season 2 in for a replay this month, I realized how much the last two episodes work together as two halves of one finale that complement each other in surprising ways. They couldn’t be two more different episodes from one another.

Cosplay: LATEX FEMALE STORMTROOPER? Sexy Carbonite? Happy Friday to me.

For me.

It’s been a long, long, long fucking week. Not sleeping much. My laptop broke, disabling me from blogging in sporadic bursts from work. I need to unwind. And this, this shit is the sort of content that will help me do so. Quite possibly a cosplay engineered to blow my goddamn mind.

NOLAN’S ‘INTERSTELLAR’ to star Matthew McConaughey. Yeehaw!

This guy.

Matthew McConausomething must be suffering through some kind of career renaissance. Homeboy is barely done shaking his dong in Magic Mike and now none other than Christopher Nolan is eyeballing him. I don’t mind the good lad’s acting, but that hasn’t stopped me being surprised at the casting.

‘PAIN & GAIN’ Red Band Trailer: LIFT WEIGHTS, ROB BANKS.

PAIN AND GAIN.

If you can’t get down with this raging homoerotic thriller starring two stalwart bros, god save your soul! However, if you can’t get down with this heist flick starring THREE MILLION GRAMS OF PROTEIN MADE MUSCLE, then even the Lord Almighty is powerless to carry you towards salvation. (Can you tell I want to see this movie?)

WARREN ELLIS dropping ‘AVENGERS: ENDLESS WARTIME’ graphic novel with Mike McKone.

Endless Wartime.

Well, now I know what Warren Ellis has been up to. You know, when he isn’t penning mediocre detective novels and neglecting Doktor Sleepless. The favorite writer of mine has been slaving away on an original Avengers graphic novel. And yeah, while I’m pretty excited for it, I really wish he was spending this time and energy giving me more Doktor. Please. I beg you Warren. More Doktor.

GEORGES ST-PIERRE cast as BATROC in ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER.’ This is so good.

GSP.

Odd as fuck. My favorite MMA fighter of all time is getting all up in the Marvel movie universe. Georges St-Pierre has been cast to play none other than Batroc the fucking Leaper in Cap 2: Plz I Love You Bucky. What the fuck is going on in this world? I can’t believe that the flick is going to feature Batroc, let alone that GSP is going to be playing him. Yus. I need to stop complaining, and thank the OMNI Dimensional creator for this delicious aberration.
