Wanted Trailer

Comic book fans rejoice for another graphic novel comes to the big screen. I don't know anything about the book upon which this is based, but the trailer looks awesome.

Plus, how can you go wrong with a movie featuring Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie...

This is gonna be good...

Empire magazine's January 2008 cover features Heath Ledger as The Joker.

And Ledger's Joker looks like a really bad man!!! If DC and Warner Brothers were going for a darker, grittier Batman (as evidenced by "Batman Begins"), this is gonna cinch the deal.

And I love it!!! Of all the comic book characters that should be embracing the seedy underworld, it should be the Dark Knight.

July 18th doesn't seem all far off...

Tastes Like Chicken: When is early too early

A whirling vortex of time wasting destruction

Sorry loyal reader for the lack of posts lately. I have become engrossed in the phenomena known as Facebook.

So, any time that could be spent writing quality posts for this blog, are getting completely wasted on "Pirates", "Warbook", "Sending a friend a drink" and any other time-devouring goody I can find.

I...am...so...sorry...must...make...a...move...in...chess...

The Unit: Play 16

This was the highly anticipated follow up to the now infamous "They Killed Hector" episode (actually "Five Brothers").

Jonas seeks revenge for the murder of his fallen colleague as the Unit has to keep moving forward on another mission. The team embarks on a new assignment when Bob Brown has to deal with a rescued journalist at the same time as keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't betray the Unit. Jonas plunges back into the underworld of Beirut, seeming hell-bent on finding the men responsible for Williams’ death.

Now unless there is more espionage to come, there was no hidden agendas by Ryan or anyone else, just a terrorist sniper that took down our beloved Hector. The ol' Snake Doctor took care of business though, first by welding the huge plow on the front of the deuce an a half, then hiding a gun to take out his so called friends when they turned. Even Crocodile Dundee would have said, "Now this is a knife". Don't cross Jonas...

Now when most people decide to leave a show there is news somewhere, like Jorja Fox leaving CSI or that guy who played Speedle on CSI: Miami (He left to pursue a lucrative movie career. So how is that working out for ya...). But, no news on Demore Barnes, so either he didn't want to leave and they killed him off anyway (writer's strike anyone) or he left under bad terms. But considering how "dead" he had to be in the last episode, he did an amazing job.

We'll see if any info surfaces after sweeps.

Veteran's Day

What a way to start the day- Golden Army images

Monday morning brings a day off, and I figured I would start the day with some Hellboy: The Golden Army concept art. I loved the first movie and can't wait to see the deuce. Images courtesy of Wizard's Universe.

That's a really big gun! And I thought "The Samaritan" was huge...

They killed Hector!?!?!?!?!

For those of you who are fans of "The Unit" on CBS, we got a complete shock last night when they killed off Hector Williams instead of Charles Grey.

We hardly knew you Hector... RIP Hammerhead.

No news on this one yet, but when I find something I'll post.

UPDATE: This is the most hush-hush TV story out there. I'm looking through my new issue of TV Guide and I reading spoilers on what gonna happen on Heroes in December, but I can't find one story on why the writers killed Hector. Unless next week's episode answers all those nagging questions and theories that we have...

The one theory I've seen mentioned is that maybe Ryan had Hector done in cause he saw the Colonel and Tiffy together, which you have to admit has merit, but after everything Ryan and the Unit has been through so far this season, and I can't buy into this. Ryan was ready to throw it all away to save his men. If Ryan wanted Hector to stay quiet, there are a lot of less life-ending ways he could have done it.

However this turns out, it has made for some awesome TV!

A funny thing happened on the way to the civic center...

Well, I just got back from my very first Alternative Education Association (AEA) conference, and a good time was had by all.

My cohorts and myself traveled down to Distgusta (Oops, I mean Augusta) this morning for the all day event. Most of the sessions were well done and very informative. It is always great when you go to a conference and actually get some information that can actually be used in everyday life. We came away with a couple of jems that we are going to use on, I mean with, the students.

Now, this is the first time that all three of us were going to be gone at the same time, and after we told the kids we were giving them the day off, we found out we were going to have substitutes to fill our shoes. Now, this could have gone a whole lot of ways wrong. But, thank God, it didn't. Most of the kids showed up, which is amazing in itself, and the place was still standing when we got back, which is also amazing. One of the subs knows our kids very well and was way more positive about the kids behavior today than the new sub. When reported that the kids just sat around and did no work, the sub was very disappointed at this. Well, in a regular setting, probably so, but, seeing who are population is and what could have happened, this was a walk in the park.

Plus, my English class went great!!! They worked hard and did a good job. Oh, I've got them trained...

Now, we are off to some friends to play games, eat and party down!!!
