JLA Quote Posters

I found these bad boys over at Cal's Canadian Cave of Cool, and boy are they fantastic. They take some of the best members of the Justice League of America and uses some key quotes from the characters history. Most of the quotes come from the comics (the issue #'s are cited... cool), but Batman's comes from The Dark Knight Rises. These are great posters. Love the abstract nature of them, and the quotes are perfectly fitting for each. Check 'em all out after the jump...

Sketch Lottery Goes Green... Lantern That Is!!!!

The gang over at Sketch Lottery are really making me proud. These guys are repping hard, and they are knocking out various topics that they chose to take on with Babe Ruth like efficiency. They don't really do the basics, they take on lesser known characters like Power Lords and Bufkin from Fables. But honestly, the thing I like the most about this collective has to be the various mediums that they present their weekly topics in. You have everything from 8 bit GIFs to full on paintings... you couldn't run as much of a gamut as these guys do. This week they are going a bit more traditional, albeit still staying abstract. They are taking on Green Lantern. Now I know first instinct is to say that Green Lantern is a mainstream character, but honestly that really is not the case. He is a second tier character in the Justice League, and the bombing of the Ryan Reynolds movie didn't do the character any favors to boost his popularity. So far we only have three entries for this character, but I am sure there will be many more before the entry closes on 5/12. Check out all the gang has to offer over at Sketch Lottery by clicking here, and check out the first three GL's after the jump...

'The World's End' Gets New Posters... And I Am getting More Excited By The Day!!!!

I am eagerly anticipating the release of the latest Nick Frost/Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright collaboration... literally gonna be one of the best moments of my cinematic summer. But I am getting even more excited when I see the newest promotional materials being issued for the movie. I am getting a very spacey, galactic feel to these pics... and that plays into the alien twist that has been rumored to plague the protagonists, who are on a quest to complete a 12 bar pub crawl that they had failed on when they were younger. With Frost & Pegg leading the charge and Wright behind the camera, I am in. These guys never disappointed me before... why think different now? Check out the new posters after the jump...

 

The A to Z Blogger Challenge 2013 - Recapped & Revisited

I hate a great time participating in this years 2013 A to Z Blogger Challenge, a challenge that was very fun to complete. I joined almost 2,000 other blogs in doing 26 posts from Monday through Saturday during the month of April. I chose to go with a theme for the entire challenge. Since each day was a designated letter (Day 1 - A, Day 2 - B, etc) I decided to pick a movie starting with that letter and then do a pictorial run of the hottest female in the film. I started off with Liv Tyler in Armageddon and finished up with Elizabeth Banks in Zack & Miri Make A Porno. Along the way I chose some interesting films and the hottest of the hotties... and it was really cool to do it. I got a few new visitors to the site, an I also came across a lot of cool blogs from my fellow challengers. So, in honor of it being finished, I have decided to put together a post that organizes all 26 of my 2013 posts in one place. You can find them all after the jump.... Can't wait till next year!!!!!

New CinemaCon Footage Of 'The Wolverine'

I think this will be one of the sweetest rides of the summer. Great story combined with the finest action adventure effects the movies can create these days. The location is fresh and makes Logan the outsider - the position that he is most comfortable fighting back from. I like that Yukio has a large part in this film as she did in the original mini-series - which is something else that you should check out before July 12th.

Adventure Time Monopoly

I am completely ODing on Adventure Time Season 1 on Netflix, so when I came across these cool ass sketches from artist Steve Wolfhard (the storyboard artists for Adventure Time) for game pieces for an AT Monoply set. He didn't even know that the actual game was going into production and then he found out that not only did it come out, but they used 5 of his token designs for the game. I love this show, and might have to grab this Monoply. If you really like AT as much as I do, subscribe to Wolfhard's blog because he always puts up tons of cool related art. Check out the original sketches after the jump...

Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds Fanart by Steamboy 33

I have many fantastic memories of playing Marvel vs Capcom & Marvel vs Capcom 2 with my good buddy Joe Fletch over the years. The highlights definitely coming during the year we lived together at Manhattan College, where we played the Dreamcast version of the game on giant arcade controllers. More often than not (ok, ok... always) Fletch handed me my ass. Repeatedly. But the really cool thing about it all was that because Fletch was so fucking fantastic he made me pretty decent. To this day I can't pass by a MvsC2 machine and not pump a few quarters in. So I was really excited to see Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds get a release... but unfortunately I have never played it. But it doesn't mean I can't admire some awesome digital fan art from Deviant Artist Steamboy 33 featuring all the characters from the game. Marvel guys. Capcom guys. All of 'em! Thanks to Fletch for tossing these my way. Maybe it is time for me to grab this game and start some new memories with my son. Check out the pics after the jump...
