FIRST of all...HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA!!



WOW...it has been a LOOOOONG time since an update...mainly because I didn't have much to update with. The Arnold Classic in m\March was GREAT, and I wanted to do more, go to more cons, expos and festivals...but I just ran out of cash. I'm saving what money I have to commission artists for projects like The Princess Pageant and Starfish Ninja. However, Nexus 5 WILL debut on April 28th, but after THAT...we shall see...


With the little money I DID have, I got another month's membership to 's new site MyDirtyDrawings.com, and I have to say it's a GREAT investment. He makes a deal with his members that he will do 3 requests drawings for a month's membership to his site! That's almost like getting three color drawings for $15! Just LOOK at what he's drawn for me so far...



It's a BRILLIANT way for an artist to collaborate with others; to create content for his site WHILE making money. I know a LOT of you out there are looking for artists that can visualize your ideas; this may be the BEST opportunity out there to make that happen. Try out MyDirtyDrawings.com and make your characters come to LIFE!


...Oh, and then there's also the hundreds of OTHER fantastic pics has made...the content on his site is...AHEM...JUICY!



...and now back to The Walking Ned...How one religious ZEALOT who refused to get vaccinated spread the T-Virus to all of Springfield!







First, I  saw Oblivion which stars Tom Cruise as Jack Harper in the year 2076. The planet has gone through war with alien invaders and most of it has been destroyed. The human survivors are up in a space colony and Jack Harper is responsible for keeping the machines on Earth running that are collecting the water and other natural resources the colonists need in space. However, there is a THREAT on the planet...last vestiges of the alien force are still scavenging and attacking Jack whenever he goes out to do his work. On top of that, a ship crash lands on Earth, with a human survivor who has a different recollection of the reason why the Earth is its current condition. Jack must find out the truth, and decide who his REAL enemy is. This movie was VERY good! It has some classic sci-fi elements along with a bit of mystery thrown in...and robots that shoot lasers that turn people to ash! It's rated PG-13, mostly because of the bada$$ robots I just talked about. Check out Oblivion and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised as I was.


"Yeah, I do sci-fi plot twists too...Cha-CHING!"


I also saw 42...the movie BASED on the true story of Jackie Robinson being the first black person to enter Major League Baseball after Segregation. I'm not sure how historically accurate this film is, but it sure is acted well! The movie shows the story of Jackie Robinson, played by Chadwick Boseman, from his last days in the Negro League, through his experiences with bigotry in the minor leagues of the MLB, all the way to his ascension into Major League Baseball and his team, The Brooklyn Dodgers, winning the penant in his first year. The performances throughout the movie are very heartfelt, but none more so than the one by Harrison Ford who plays the General Manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers who first pitches the idea to Jackie of him trying out for the team. I wouldn't be surprised if he got an academy award nomination for it...he can actually pull off lines OTHER than, "Laugh it up, Fuzzball." 42 is rated PG-13 because of a lot of racial slurs and naughty language, but it was an accurate depiction of what was already recorded. Even with that, it's still an excellent film, and something you can take the whole family to see.


"Give ME a bat and see if you talk that sh*t!"


...and then there was Oz, The Great and Powerful  starring James Franco as...well...Oz, The Great and Powerful! Oz takes from starting off as a two-bit trickster in Kansas, but then takes a mysterious balloon ride in a tornado which lands him in the magical land of OZ...named after HIM, because he was evidently prophecized to come and free the people from the clutches of the Evil Witch! There is sorcery, romance, comedy and TWO varieties of flying monkeys...one BAD, the other short and CUTE! This movie was actually a lot of FUN! James Franco played the role VERY well, and Mila Kunis actually turned out to be a pretty RANCID Wicked Witch of The West. What's even better is that they didn't change any of the history from the FIRST film...this PREQUEL works well with the Wizard Of Oz. It's rated PG because...well...it's OZ! Go enjoy some fun for the whole family!


""MAGIC" weed for EVERYBODY!"


...and let's not forget G.I. Joe:Retaliaiton starring the ROCK as Roadblock and just a LITTLE bit of Channing Tatum...this is a bit of a SPOILER if you haven't seen the film...Tatum's character DUKE is only in the movie for about 15 minutes. In the film, the Joe's have to unmask the Zartan for stealing the identity of the President of the U.S.A. and stop Cobra Commander from becoming the sole SUPERPOWER on Earth!...MEH!;smoking: This Yo Joe installment tried to be a bit GRITTIER than the first G.I. Joe movie, and just wound up not being as FUN. There were still plenty of explosions and ninja swordfights, but it felt like it took itself a little TOO seriously. It's rated PG-13, because, even though tons of people get killed, and a whole CITY gets blown up, there's no BLOOD shown in the whole movie!


"I'll get you for that!"


...another film I viewed was The Host the movie based on the book by Twilight author, Stephanie Meyer. NO, there were NO sparkly vampires in this film. However, this WAS a pretty good sci-fi movie. Aliens have invaded the planet and taken over the bodies of almost all of humanity. Only a few "free" humans remain, and the latest to get 'converted" is resisting the process. This human subconsciously directs the alien mind within her body to a secret location where free humans have hidden and survived. There the alien and human alikw must learn to work together and live, or fight one another and both die. Oh, ad there's an possesd-human-human-alien-human love RECTANGLE going on there, so things get a little TOUCHY at times! It's rated PG-13 because a few people get killed, and I there is some heavy intergalactic-interspecies petting. Otherwise it's just a good sci-fi flick.


"You can probe me ANYtime."


...then there was The Call starring Halle Berry as a 911 operator who failed to save the life of a girl who was abducted and killed after she called the police for help. The operator gets a chance at redemption when another young girl calls in for help in a similar situation...started by the SAME MANIAC KILLER! This time, the operator stays on the line with the girl even AS she's abducted...even leaving the security of the call center to go out and do some investigating of her own to find this young hostage. Some of the plot points become a bit UNBELIEVABLE at times, but this movie still manages to be an edge of your seat thriller, with a pretty WICKED ending. It's rated R because crazy dude is CRA-A-AZY!!..Hannibal Lecter wouldn't hang out with THIS guy!

"Son, you need HELP."


...and FINALLY I saw Evil Dead ...the remake of the Evil Dead classic, this time directed by Bruce Campbell, who was the STAR of the original film. It's the story of a group of friends who go to cabin in the woods for a drug intervention of a friend that has recently overdosed. They try to get her to stay there to get sober, but her behavior becomes more strange and violent by the second. During all this, one of the group finds a cultist tomb and reads the words that CLEARLY SAY "DO NOT READ" and unleashes a demonic FORCE that possesses the already afflicted girl. Too late do they realize that they don't need an intervention, but an EXORCISM and all kinds of NASTINESS goes on!...This is an okay horror film, but not as much fun as the original, which had a lot of laughs (some intentional, and some not ). Evil Dead is rated R for GORY death scenes, so dont go to see it if you have a weak stomach, or have just eaten lasagna.


"Demonic book in a cabin in the woods...Works EVERY time."
