CCD Links It Up Vol #17

Its time once again to look elsewhere around the 'Net at what others are doing and share it with all of you guys. CCD loves to Link It Up, and we know you love it when we do. We will take a look at what Chris 'King of the X-Men' Claremont has to say about the X-Men: Days of Future Past. Interesting to say the least. Check out Cal's wonderful newest Kitteh find, a cool Star Wars list of the worst stuff in the expanded universe that hopefully JJ will avoid, and amazing story about HIV being cured in a young child for the first time, and some gratuitous boobies & butt shots from our people over at The Chive. A great way to bounce around the intrawebs. Now hurry up and click Read More to get started....



1) Newsarama ran an excellent interview with Chris Claremont, who is pretty much single handily responsible for anything great that ever happened in the X-Men comics. When you are the writer on a title for 20 years, you are sure to have some opinions... and when you raise those opinions, geeks like me listen. Great read from somebody who is about as humble as you can be for a legend in the comic industry.

2) Our buddy Cal from the Canadian Cave of Cool loves the cats. He posts about them often, as well as many other cool stuff at his awesome blog. But he does the kitteh posts better than anybody, and his latest video find had me laughing hysterically at McLovin the Underwater Cat. Simple pleasures make for easy satisfaction.

3) Rob Bricken, the genius behind one of the best nerd blogs on the internet Topless Robot, pinch hits on IO9 with his insanely awesome '12 Worst Things In The Expanded Star Wars Universe'. This list is fantastic because it features typical sarcasm and sharp writing from Bricken, as well as the plain hard facts that there are at least a dozen things in the Star wars universe that are way worse than poor Jar Jar Binks & those fucking Ewoks (I hate the Ewoks way more than Jar Jar Binks by the way)!!!

4) Here is a pretty short article about the time that doctors cured HIV in an infant child. You know, that incurable disease... the one that has made Magic Johnson look healthier the longer he has been sick. Yeah that one. Holy fucking shit we have come a long way. All joking aside, this is good to hear though. let the new age of sexual promiscuity without a death sentence begin... NOW!!!!!  

5) This week we get our boobie & butt fix from The Chive, and they are taking a look at some Chivettes that are bored at work. Love the real girls and the fact that they are not above going to the bathroom and dropping trough for our Internet enjoyment. Keep Calm & Chive On!!!!! 

CCD Links It Up - Vol #1

I surf the 'Net alot, but not every cool ass thing that I come across can be turned into a CCD post. So I am starting a post where I can include a few cool ass links that you may be interested in. These tidbits are really cool and if you like what we do on CCD then you are sure to like them. Tell them that Mike CCD sent ya!!!! Enjoy the links after the jump...

Just click the highlighted link to read the story:

1) IO9 has a list of 10 comic characters that are cooler than Batman. I don't think that is possible to have a character that is cooler than Batman, but the list is good none the less. 

2) Sticking with the Batman theme, here is an insane infographic that chronicles over 70 years of The Batman and was posted over at Fanboy.

3) Check out the hotness that is model Sydney Barlette by checking out her modeling page here and her gallery over at Beer Mug Sports by clicking here.

4) Get in on the fun and organize a Tugg movie event in your area. Tugg is a service that allows you to pick from the movies they offer (over 600) and schedule a screening of the film at local theaters around the country. See some classics and some newer flicks (the selection is great) at your local AMC and other theaters by setting up a screening right now. (CCD is sponsoring a few of these in the future. Stay tuned for details).

5)  So apparently Jean Claude Van Damme is all about making sure that all of his roles are completely accurate to the original source material, because when he played Guile in the Street Fighter movie he was banging a then 22 year old Kylie Minogue (the pop singer played Cammie in the film). I don't know whats crazier, the fact that these facts are just getting aired now 20 years later or the fact that Minogue slept with The Muscles From Brussels after watching him butcher lines all day on that movie set

These Masters of the Universe Toy Posters Will Take You Back

Way back... god I loved me some He-Man back in the day!!! The best part about being a kid back in the 80's was the cool posters that the toy companies used to put out to promote their new lines. Here are 5 to take you back down memory lane. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Thanks to Io9 for digging these bad boys up. (Click all of the posters to enlarge)

Listen To 'Selene', The Hip Hop Album That Was Inspired By The Film 'MOON'

This is a well crafted mash-up of original rap lyrics from Richard Rich & Max Tannone and the wonderful music that was contained on the score from the movie 'Moon' by Clint Mansell. I love the movie that Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son) created for his first film, and one of the best parts about it was definitely the spooky score that accompanied the isolated space story. I am so excited to get this album on my Ipod! Here is the first few tracks for you to listen to now:

Selene by Max Tannone

You can get the full "Selene" album by clicking here. Lets hope we get some more movie themed musical projects that are as good a quality as this one here. Thanks to Io9 for the tip.
