Even more for the Spider-Fans, as this should make them very happy... and if it doesn't, I don't think they're really that big of a fan.

As most everyone knows by now, I'm a really big fan of The Fairly OddParents.
So here's a nice article on what a huge hit the show is becoming.

For everyone who's excited about Final Fantasy XI.

More Halloween Safety Tips..
18. Beware of strangers bearing strange tools. For example: chainsaws, nail guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws or any devices made from deceased companions.

19. If you find that your house is built upon a cemetery, now is the time to move in with the in-laws. (It's a toss-up. We know.) This also applies to houses that had previous inhabitants who went mad, committed suicide, died in some horrible fashion, OR had inhabitants who performed satanic practices in your house.

20. (And perhaps the most important..) Always get out as soon as the scary music starts playing.

It's honestly, too much fun.

More Halloween Safety Tips..
15. If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, kill them off immediately. You'll thank yourself later.

16. Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog (you're already in trouble if you recognize this one), anywhere in Texas where chainsaws are sold, the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine. Also, California and Ohio are good spots to avoid this and every other time of year. I mean, the answer's in the question.

17. If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely road, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help. If you think that it is strange you ran out of gas because you thought you had most of a tank, shoot yourself instead. You are going to die anyway and most likely be eaten.

I'm not sure if I've said anything about this before, but they're making a Man-Thing movie.
For those of you who aren't Marvel fans, get your mind out of the gutter!
Man-Thing is kinda like Marvel's version of DC's Swamp Thing.
If there wasn't a lawsuit back in 1971, I'd be very surprised.

More Halloween Safety Tips...
11. Do not take ANYTHING from the dead.

12. If you find a town which looks deserted, there's probably a good reason for it. Don't stop and look around.

13. Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing.

14. If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at least twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling along, it's still moving fast enough to catch up with you.

More Halloween Safety Tips..
7. Never stand in, on, or above a grave, tomb, or crypt. This would apply to any other house of the dead as well.

8. If you're searching for something which caused a loud noise and find out that it's just the cat,GET THE HECK OUTTA THERE!!!

9. If appliances start operating by themselves, do not check for short circuits, just get out.

4. If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they should not know, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. However, it will probably take several rounds to kill them, so be prepared. This also applies to kids who speak with somebody else's voice.

5. When you have the benefit of numbers, NEVER pair off and go alone.

6. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.

I wouldn't be surprised if someday some fishermen caught a big shark and cut it open, and there inside was a whole person. Then they cut the person open, and in him is a little baby shark. And in the baby shark there isn't a person, because it would be too small. But there's a little doll or something, like a Johnny Combat little toy guy---something like that.

How'd you like to get a look at some early preview type stuff for Pixar's The Incredibles?
I thought you might.
Also, (as though I needed more incentive to go see this flick) I just learned Jason Lee is going to be part of the vocal cast for what is sure to be my favorite Pixar movie ever.
And may I add that in the two seconds he appears in this little preview, he was fantastical.

Someone had a good idea, to make toys of the classis Universal Monsters. But they decided to release them in January/February of 2004, instead of ... oh, I don't know, OCTOBER!

A few Halloween Safety Tips..
1) When it appears that you have killed the monster, NEVER check to see if it's really dead.

2) Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even just for kicks.

3) Do not search the basement, especially if the power has gone out.

You'd turn into a War Horse. Strong, brave and
loyal like a war horse you are protective of
family and friends and generally polite and
freindly to people you dont know or just met.
However your attitude can change quickly if
your family or friends are threatened in anyway
and you quickly fight it off. However because
of your protective attitude you can oftern find
yourself getting angry and interfering if you
see anyone being threatened and cant defend
themselves.

Science seems to be able to find an answer to most anything these days. This article isn't particularly exciting, but I found it very informative and interesting.
It's about the studies that have and are being done showing the distinct differences in the male and female brain. It also goes into detail explaining why we (men and women) react differently to different situations. The ramifications for relationships are fairly obvious to see... so if you're in a relationship, or are planning on being in one, I'd suggest giving it a read.

The Kids in the Hall have an official site now. I suggest you visit it, and help shape the future of KITH DVD releases... as I have done.

Oh, by the way, when I said the trailer for The Matrix Revolutions looks pretty awesome, I figured that it would go without saying that I meant all the parts except those featuring the incredibly poorly CGI'd mech things that the forces of Zion were piloting.
Those parts are just embarrassing.

There's been a lot of rumors and such circling about a new Superman movie as of late, now that Jon Peters (aka: the worst producer EVER) has been fired.
Names are being tossed about such as M. Night Shyamalan.
Care to read more?

While we're on the subject of people who tried to ruin franchises (Jon Peters, not M. Night), Joel Schumacher is apparently working on not only special edition DVDs of his Bat-attrocities, but also a sequel to The Lost Boys.
I shudder to think.

And while we're talking about sequels, word has it that Tim Burton is planning on directing a sequel to Planet of the Apes in late 2004.

Dimension Films has said that the rumors of them asking John Carpenter to do a remake of Halloween are completely untrue.
Dah well.. don't forget to pick up They Live! on DVD this Tuesday.

Hello there.
It came to my attention that I hadn't made a new photo album for all of you wonderful people to peruse in quite some time.. and it's not like I don't have a stockpile of pictures for you to see.
So, I said all that to say all this.. I hope you enjoy the new photo album.

For those of you that don't know, today is my birthday.
My 23rd birthday as a matter of fact.
By some strange cosmic coincidence, Gabe over at Penny Arcade decided to speak on the subject of birthdays today...
"The fact of the matter is I get very excited about my birthday. It's not even all the fabulous presents I expect to receive from my closest friends, although that will be nice. I get excited for the inevitable birthday party. So many of my friends tend to downplay their birthdays and I can't understand why. They might get a few friends together and go out to dinner someplace nice or whatever but that's about it. It seems like after 21 no one is interested in really celebrating on their B-day. I like birthday parties. I like it when all my friends come over and play videogames. Sure that's what we do every Thursday anyway but on my Birthday there will be cake and cake just makes thing better. Everyone gets one special day a year, a day when everyone gets together to party and celebrate simply because you're still around. I say take your special day and milk it for everything it's worth. This September 25th I'll be turning the big two six and I'll be damned if I'm gonna let that slip by with nothing but a dinner at Azteca to commemorate it."

This made me want to try and party a little harder tonight, more so than I had wanted to do before I read it.
Perhaps it will make you want to join me for this partying.

A picture I took of the Hulk..

As proof we did indeed play a show Saturday night at the Full Moon...


The new SAVES THE DAY album hits stores today. As you may or may not know I'm a fairly big fan of them, and while I knew it was coming out, I had no idea the first single off of it was so good. (I hadn't heard it yet, sue me.)
My thanks go to Corey for telling me how good it was.
You can go listen to it as well if you like.
It's a bit of a departure for them in comparison to their other albums, but it's choice either way.


I simply cannot say it enough.. the man is a genius.

For those of you that don't know me, I'm a huge fan of The Flash, but I'm not sure whether to be excited or not about this news. I'm going to cross my fingers and hope for the best, as I'd like to be able to watch good shows about both Superman and The Flash on a weekly basis.

I'm also a pretty big fan of the Halloween franchise of films (even though they pretty much suck after the second one, and I refuse to see "Resurrection"), so when I hear that Dimension is trying to get John Carpenter to make a new version of the original Halloween it makes me think that perhaps this is news about which we could all be excited.
Or maybe it'll suck.
I also hear Carpenter is working on a remake of his film, The Fog.

In other horror news, FOX is working on a film described as "Black Hawk Down with werewolves" called Silver Strike. Apparently a team of soldiers is dipatched to deal with a situation only to find out that the people they're facing are werewolves. Fun, yeh?

Billions and billions of dollars are about to be spent on the construction of an elevator into space.. I swear I'm not making this up.
