Things i will always miss.

4.Comic book stores
I was a huge comic book collector, even as a kid, i couldn't wait until wednesday afternoon to run and pick up any new title or issue that i was currently collecting, Every week it never failed. By my 20's i started working in an actual comic store for 3 years and it was the best time i had working anywhere.



3.Hanging out at the arcades
Yes, My love of videogames started very early in my childhood, I would spend countless hours playing arcade machines, We knew every location(Be it a local bodega, pizzaria or game room) and we were there, It was like a cult. And after console machines dominated the scene everything came to an abrupt end, Those were very good times.



2.Comic conventions
Almost every other month we'd get an invitation to NYC comic con and we'd always attend. Along with a backpack of comicbooks to be autographed by artist or writers. We would wait hours just to get an autograph and suck up to artists for a mere 10 seconds. Oh! the glory!



1.Videogame stores
I truly believe that throughout my youth i've been to just about every videogame store in new york city, We'd go talk smack, buy/sell and trade games usually on a weekly basis. We made it our business to stop by a place called Joysticks (now closed). They had an employee there who we nicknamed hooterbabe. Who drew clientelle thru a stragetically placed marketing ploy (Boobs) and everyone fell for it, Ah yes..the good old days, We will never forget hooterbabe...

Movies that defined endings

Ah yes, more movies, But this time around it's my most memorable movie endings that for some reason i can never shake off. So here goes.





Silent rage
After some guy is injected with a super serum he wreaks havok all over the place until chuck norris come out of nowhere and kung-fu kicks his ass down a well. And he lives....cripes!





The deadly spawn
Ok here goes, Some alien life form invades a small town, and while the lil slugs are mucking about the mother of all monsters is slowly growing in a basement until it decides it's time to chew ass and kick bubble gum. In the end after the monster is officially destroyed there is a huge rumble and roar as an even bigger creature emerges from under the earth which looked like a mountainside.





Maniac
Ok, so some guy runs around killing women and then proceeds to nail their scalps to mannequins. And at the very end the said mannequins come to life and tear his insides out...umm...yeah..just like that..And after all that his eyes open up like if he was still alive...Bleeeech!





Nighthawks
A terrorist strikes fear into everyone and it's up to silvester stallone and lando calrissian to stop him... i mean yeah...that guy. the colt 45 guy. so yeah, at the end Mr stallone dons a wig and pulls a i fooled you routine and shoots that mofo terrorist in the ass...and for once no one wakes up..





Pieces
A psychopath is loose of course, This time he's hacking up women and making his own woman piece by piece with the body parts, So they kill the bad guy but lo and behold the jigsaw girl awakens and grabs a guy by the nuts and crushes them...noice!





10 to midnight
Charles bronson's mustache..i mean charles bronson, plays a detective after a serial killer. After the killer runs butt ass naked while being chased by charles bronson he is caught by the cops, While the psychopath proceeds to threaten to kill his family Mr bronson takes no guff and shoots the perp in the head while in custody...And by that i mean forehead.





Sleepaway camp
There's some screwy stuff going on at a camp ground, with random killings involving knives, a beehive and a hot curling iron inserted into a no-no place..(i love the 80's). So yeah at the end the killer is seen sitting by the beach fully nude. and when the femal killer angela stands up she rocks the biggest schlong in horror films to date. Doogan!There's something definitely wrong with the twizaaat!

I will return...

I've been having a few issues that need solving. I will return with some new stuff real soon.

Weird shit in movies..

I know movies are suppose to be make believe, but sometimes they don't make much sense to me. It looks like writers sometimes just throw caution into the wind and take a risk at writing something that doesn't make sense to anyone. Leaving the audience wondering if they are big idiots... Ooookeeeee, Here's a good one by no other than M. Night Shyamalan, In the movie people suddenly become crazy and kill each other or themselves because of the air.....yeah....air. but it becomes abundantly clear just how stupid the whole idea is when you see the actors actually running away from the so called toxic winds...and how you do that is umm, up to the imagination..Mark walburg is still a small turd.




Ok, i can believe that someone could build traps and gadgets to kill, No big deal. But in Saw part 5 they had a character go into a chamber and it slowly went inside the floor as the walls started closing in crushing yet another hapless victim. My question is, Who built all this shit! there's no way a sickly man with cancer can build such elaborate traps that can be compared to as a bad day at Disney. But yet i can't stop watching.... Buy more tickets.....wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!




It's far fetched enough that someone could rise from the grave and wreak vengeance, But during the final scene the crow character summons hundreds of crows as they fly thru his body directly into the main villian. And if that makes sense to you then you probably wrote the script.ok ok now!!......wait....ok ok now!!!....ummm.....wait....




Agent cooper has to try to solve a murder case, While he sleeps he has weird dreams involving a dancing midget who talks backwards with subtitles displayed in english....ummm...wha?...ssik ym ssa!




There's a scene in this movie where there's a kid sitting on a bench, He gets up and yells pancakes, Does a few weird karate moves and bites a guy in the hand. I don't get it man...Pancakes!!

Harrywho?

I was looking for some movies to watch today and i stumbled upon a few that i haven't seen in ages. and why did i specifically choose these?  I was a huge fan of fantasy and there was only one man who reigned supreme decades ago, you can always count on him to bring the quirky animated monsters to life in the big screen, From Jason and the Argonauts to Clash of the titans and the original King Kong  His name? Ray Harryhausen. Master stop motion animator extraordinaire.
I remembered watching this movie in the theaters and i was simply amazed.



Especially this part This idea sparked endless skeletal warriors to be used in just about every other video game made to date. Thanks to one man!
















This was the last of the Sinbad movies from the 70's and man was this movie good.







 I know these movies are old school and can't even be compared with the new techniques of film making,   But I am glad to have experienced seeing these films in theaters. Times and techniques have changed but my heart will remain.

Still waiting.....

When i was a wee lad i had a ton of comic books, Inside there would always have these advertisement for toys and gadgets, So being the naive one i put $2.00 in an envelope and waited patiently.....Well it's been well over 25 years and i still havent gotten my damn army men....I hate you all......

Movies that define human logic or why are you so stupid?

Ok, so i watch alot of movies, Tons of them. Every once in a while i run into a movie based on real events or whatever and i think to myself, can humans really be this stupid.. apparently yes, and hollywood churns a profit, Yay!


Open waterWhy would you do this? Why would you dive in open waters and drift off from your party, Its a shame to have happened but damn. There's sharks in there! Man 0 -Nature 2


A perfect stormSo a bunch fisherman give it the old college try in hopes to score the catch of the century and run smack into a storm. Mother nature ain't takin no guff.


Into the wildSome guy gives up his earthly posessions and decides to live off the land and lo and behold, he ends up starving to death. I don't even want to take a walk in a park, why would you want to live in a friggin forest wiping your ass with a rabbit? I don't get it..


Grizzly manOk this is beyond me, Some guy actually camps out and lives in the woods with grizzly bears and other animals all while swearing on earth that nature is his best friend. You may think that either this guy is a total nut job or actually cares for these animals. Fuck it, this guy is nuts. Nice scenery and lots of nature shots will make you feel like living out there too, That's until the last act when he's mauled and eaten by said friends of the forest. Brother bear they ain't.


Amityville horrorNo amount of santeria or chango or whatever will make me stay in that house. Oh yeah and before i leave, MOLOTOV!!
