Fang Banger Party! True Blood Season Finale! This Sunday! My place!
I'm trying to come up with a bright red punch suitable for the living and the undead to serve at my Fang Bangin' Party for the True Blood Season Finale this Sunday. Any ideas? Anyone have any recipes?
I am addicted to the show and I can't believe it's going to be gone until next year. At least, I can look forward to the DVDs.
Bill + Sookie =


And I got the update for the new XBox Live and am still getting used to it. It's a little too flashy for me. I don't need all that distraction, I just want to get into gaming. Anyway, the update forces you to create an XBox Live "Avatar" and I'm not sure what they're called, but Avatar just has too many syllables, so I'm calling them miis, I mean xiis! Does xii make any sense? (You know, pronounced "zee.")


So, here's my first attempt, I just wish the selection of clothes was better.


Obviously, I'm on a vampire kick with True Blood and all. Twilight looks good, but ultimately too teen-oriented for me. I prefer fang bangin'.

Movies I'd like to FUCK!
I saw the new James Bond movie Quantum of Solace at a midnight screening last night. It was action packed and confusing, but not entirely awful. I was actually more excited to see new trailers for Watchmen and Star Trek. I can't wait to see these two movies!!!


Here's a link to the new Watchmen trailer and if you watch carefully, you'll notice that they've blurred out Dr. Manhattan's groin area... so you'll have to wait for the movie to see a blue penis. Sorry ladies. And Eric.
Oh, and this is pretty funny, but my buddy Zack actually dressed as the Comedian from Watchmen for Halloween and even convinced friends to dress as other costumed vigilantes from the comic/film.


Can you name these other Watchmen characters? I can. But I'm a geek.


Here's a link to the official Star Trek movie site where the trailer will debut online Monday. If you haven't seen the new Enterprise, here is a pic of the movie-version of the beloved starship...


Check out this great photo feature from Empire magazine about the history of the various Enterprise ships from all the TV shows and movies, and check out this comparison...


Yeah, I'd like to fuck all these movies.
Chris
P.S. Oh, and the novel World War Z, a first-person post-war account of a global zombie epidemic is being made by Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster. Yay!


P.P.S. And as a tribute to all things Bond, here's a fun trailer mash-up of The Incredibles and The Quantum of Solace.

"You Can Do Better Than Me" by Death Cab for Cutie
We're starting to feel
We stayed together out of fear
Of dying alone
I've been slipping through the years
My old clothes don't fit like they once did
So they hang like ghosts
Of the people I've been
It's like my heart can't take
My fall in love every day
And I feel like a fool
I have to face the truth
That no one could ever look at me like you do
Like I'm something worth holding on to
These times I think of leaving
But it's something I'll never do
'Cause you can do better than me
But I can't do better than you

That feeling of Obamatism...


No matter where you stand politically, you have to admire how this nation celebrated on election day. And not just this nation, all around the world there was celebration. Around 8 PM west coast time, I could hear people in my neighborhood in cheering! People were coming out of their homes and screaming for joy. It reminded me of when I was in Detroit and they won the World Series and everyone came out of their houses to celebrate. I watched Obama's speech three times and teared up every single time. I wonder what kind of puppy his kids will get?!


And I'm such a geek, watching the montage of footage from parts of the globe far and wide, all I could think about was how much it reminded me of the end of the special edition of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.


You know, all the fireworks, pulling down that giant statue of George Bush and seeing that poor Stormtrooper uniform thrown over the heads of the crowd, I think they took it a little too far.
Kidding.


Anyway, I'm not just happy that Obama won, I'm pleased for a few other reasons.
1) Travel. Okay, I can finally travel to other countries and proudly say, "Yes. I am from the United States of America." No longer will I have to pose as a Canadian. Not that I ever did that.
2) The news. Perhaps watching the news won't be as stressful or depressing.
3) Science is back. I could not believe how many Republican candidates did not believe in evolution. So sad. Anyway, if we can put a man on the moon, we can invent something to cheaply and efficiently power personal vehicles. There are so many things we take for granted now that came from NASA's space program (krazy glue, the VCR, velcro) that putting effort behind and creating incentives for business to move from gas powered vehicles will only result in good things.
4) Old politics is dead. This country wasn't fooled again by hateful political rhetoric that seemed tired along with candidates that are better suited for a moronic reality show than the political arena (Sarah Palin).
Gay Marriage headed to Supreme Court?
One very sad development is the state of California's effort to take rights away from Gay couples who wish to marry. I believe this always should have been an issue for the courts to decide since you can't always count on folks to do the right thing, so if this is something you really care about as well, sign this petition to repeal prop 8 and then encourage your friends to do the same thing.
Oh, and I really want to get this t-shirt... because I am still a big geek.


Yes we can.

I Voted!
I've had this bumper sticker on my car since I bought it in Austin, Texas in March of 2007. I've waited a long time to cast this vote. Feels... so... good.


And if you did vote, you might actually take the advice of this recruiting poster...

Jokerlantern and random geekiness...
Sometimes I see cool stuff online and I just have to share it with you. This Joker Pumpkin is so cool... I loved it!


Here is the actual invite to the ILM Halloween party. (Oh, it's good to know that I go well with Glamour.) Wow! Princess Leia is so sexy as a vampire...


And speaking of Leia, um, I know what I really want for my birthday next year...
a Slave Leia Pillow Fight!!!!!!!!


Oh, and here's one for the ladies. This shot features Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen where, if you look close, you'll see his very blue cock. I'm just sayin'. That's cool. If you like to look at cocks.
