This was a picture of a robot that I was working on one night when my computer decided to crash.
It was the most excited I had been about anything I'd drawn in a long time.
I couldn't do anything to the computer but turn it off, but before I did, I took a picture of the screen with my camera.
This isn't nearly as cool as the real picture looked, but it was the best I could do.
I'm going to have a little moment of silence now for what I will always know as ... The Lost Robot.

I discovered I'm able to have comments on here now.. so feel free to leave one whenever you feel like it.
My best to you all.

This is beautiful and upsetting at the same time.
I recommend it for you all.

For the pirate fans.



You can't tell me that's not hilarious.

Here's a link to our article in the online version of the paper.
You may have to do the free registration with the site to see it though.

An official site for the feature film adaptation of Watchmen is up. Nothing there yet, really, but it's still neat to know it's there.

Saying Uwe Boll’s Alone in the Dark is better than his 2003 American debut, House of the Dead, is akin to praising syphilis for not being HIV. - from a review in Slant Magazine

How would you like an iDog?

Hello there.

So this is my last week at Best Buy.
Yeah, I'm a little weird about it myself.
Bigger and better things, etc.

Speaking of bigger and better things.. or maybe just good things, whatever, apparently we (Mauxfaux)have been sought after by The Commercial Appeal for an interview. Since they didn't have our numbers the guy just started calling places we've played to see if anyone had a way to get in touch with us.
Thankfully, though by odd means, they were able to get in touch with us and we've got an interview and photo shoot with them today.

That's pretty exciting.

Also pretty exciting is the fact that I GOT MY FREE iPOD!
Part of me thought it wasn't really going to happen, but sure enough it showed up on my doorstep today, as promised.
Feel free to click here to get started towards getting a free one for yourself.
I mean, I did it, and it didn't cost me a penny for a $350 iPod.
How the hell can you beat that?

Okay, I think that's enough for now. I hope you're all well.

I'm working on a picture of Space Ghost.
Feel free to have a look at it, won't you? Click on said picture if you'd like to see a bigger version.

Any of you watch that show The West Wing?
Well, Caroline is a big fan, so we started watching the first season the other night.
It's really good so far. I'm sure that's not news to any of you.
Just thought I'd share my opinion.

We also watched Van Helsing the other night.
Wow.
I don't even know where to begin... I mean, really... just wow.
I mean, really.
So bad.
Remarkably bad.
Monumentally bad on a number of levels.
And yet, it's not as though I regret watching it.
What does that mean?

Speaking of movies with vampires and werewolves, why don't you take a look at these new stills from the sequel to Underworld, titled Underworld : Evolution.

If you're at all interested in comics you should know that this comes out tomorrow! And even if you aren't interested in comics, you should check it out.

That's a link for all of you to go visit.
It's a picture of Batman that I did recently (and very quickly I might add) using my tablet.
Feel free to let me know what you think.
You can also view the rest of my "gallery" there... http://thechrishaley.deviantart.com/gallery/

Comics are an endless source of entertainment ... even when they aren't trying to be funny.

Enjoy the trailer for Tim Burton's Corpse Bride.

Also, feel free to give this band, Eisley, a listen.
Caroline told me about them when we started going out and they're quite good if you're in the mood for their style of music. It's easy going, melody music... I think that's the best description I can give it.
If I'm not mistaken she also told me she's spent some time with one or more of the members.. so that's neat as well.
Oh, and their name used to be "Mos Eisley" (after a certain well known hive of scum and villiany) which might make some of you Star Wars fans more interested.

If this or this looks interesting to you, then you should learn more about SHARKNIFE.

Next week's exciting DVD releases :
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

Look at how much fun comics used to be... and when I say fun, I mean ridiculous.

Ahhhhh!
Spectacular Astro Boy news!

Something special for everyone that's been enjoying RESIDENT EVIL 4 for Nintendo's cube-shaped gaming device.

My thanks to all the people who helped point me towards more information on the MacMini.

Did anyone else know that Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick bought and is now the publisher of Cracked Magazine?

Sweet Christmas! Have you seen this new Mac Mini?! It's amazing! I wonder how much it's going to cost.

MY TOP 11 MOVIES OF 2004 (with commentary)

11. The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra - If you haven't seen this yet, you need to do so as quickly as possible. Well, actually, some of you probably wouldn't enjoy it, but MST3K fans would probably enjoy it.
10. The Punisher - I know there was a lot wrong with this movie (like it being set in Florida and primarily in the daytime!?!), but Thomas Jane WAS Frank Castle. I mean, nailed. He was perfect. That allows me to overlook some of the other problems.
9. Miracle - I like hockey. I like Kurt Russell. I like triumphant true stories. I like when people are able to achieve something greater than themselves. I like well made movies. This flick had all of the above.
8. Cold Mountain - It was a great movie. I don't know if I'd have liked it as much if Jude Law hadn't been in it, but I'm pretty sure I would have still liked it.
7. Kill Bill Vol. 2 - I'm sure anything that needs to be said about this movie has already been said a million times by people far wittier and/or more eloquent than I.
6. Anchorman/Starsky and Hutch/Dodgeball - I'm just going to consider these all one big movie where Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell and Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn got to goof around and have fun making themselves laugh.. which then makes all of us laugh.
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - See my commentary for KBV2.
4. Shaun of the Dead - One of us zombie fans really made good. I mean, Romero loved it for crying out loud. Found the perfect balance between comedy and horror and the comedy of horror. If you ask me, this flick did everything right in a way the Scary Movie series never will. In fact, I wish I hadn't even mentioned that series while I was talking about this fantastic film. Laugh out loud funny. Quotable funny. Spectacular zombies. Real emotion. Three ASH songs. What else do you need?
3. Spider-Man 2 - Left the original flick standing in the dust. It really should have been called The Amazing Spider-Man (as was originally planned) instead of just throwing a 2 at the end. Better performances all around. Much better in some cases. A seemingly better understanding of what makes Peter Parker who he is, as well as a better understanding of why he does what he does. A far better villain. Classic Sam Raimi flourishes. And, perhaps most importantly, more Spider-Man.
2. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - I know most of you probably didn't even see this movie. That makes me very sad. It's coming out on DVD in a week or two. If you've ever thought I was right about anything go out and buy this DVD or at least rent it. I'm serious. If you like Indiana Jones or classic 1950s sci-fi or action movies that are safe to watch with your kids or parents or grandparents or beautiful people (Law, Paltrow, Jolie) or great special effects or late 1930s fashion or just good movies this is it.
1. The Incredibles - My favorite Pixar movie of all time. Arguably their best movie to date. Arguably the best superhero movie of all time. In my All Time Top 10 Movies list.
