Bryan Singer is interested in reviving the The Twilight Zone. He's attached as executive producer and potentially directing and writing for the new series. It's just talk for now. EW.com has the latest: New 'Twilight Zone' series in the works Let's hope the new series will be better than the 2002 revival. If only we can send that one into the corn fields. You know, speaking of corn fields. The best episode in the 2002 series is the direct sequel to It's a Good Life. Billy Mumy reprises his role as Anthony Fremont. He is reunited with Cloris Leachman who plays Anthony's mother, Mrs. Fremont. The sequel, It's Still a Good Life, introduces Anthony's daughter Audrey Fremont who is played by Billy Mumy's real life daughter Liliana Mumy. Mrs. Fremont discovers that Audrey is developing her father's powers and she might be the key to freeing them from the "Peaksville Monster." An excellent episode. In fact, you can watch it right after the "JUMP!"

Happy Winter Solstice 2012!

Not only was 12/21/2012 marked as the day that the world ends, it is also the day with the longest night in 2012. Is everyone alright? Yes? Well done everyone! Well done for making it past the Apocalypse! We're also halfway out of the dark. The days will be getting longer again. Happy Winter Solstice! My favorite story about the Winter Solstice so far is Doctor Who A Christmas Carol (2012 Christmas Special). Technically it is a Christmas story too but, it does touch upon the Winter Solstice. The special features a haunting song written by Murray Gold and performed by Katherine Jenkins called Abigail's Song (Silence Is All You Know). Ever since 2010, this is my Winter Solstice song: Dr. Who 2010 Christmas Special. Katherine Jenkins sings Abigail's Song TheMorrisJMan Abigail's Song (Silence Is All You Know) When you're alone, silence is all you know. When you're alone, silence is all you know Let in the noise and let it grow. When you're alone, silence is all you see When you're alone, silence is all you'll be Give me your hand and come to me. When you are here, music is all around. When you are near, music is all around. Open your eyes, don't make a sound. Let in the shadow, let in the shadow, Let in the light of your bright shadow. Let in the shadow, let in the shadow. Let in the light of your bright shadow. Let in the light. Let in the light. Let in the light of your sweet shadow. When you're alone, oh, Silence is all you know. Silence is all, Silence is all around. Silence is all Silence is all around

12/12/2012 End of the World! or Street Fighter X Mega Man

So you made it past the initiation part of the Apocalypse. You escaped the super quakes, tsunami of blood and the hell fire raining down from the skies. You've managed to safely barricade yourself from the undead horde. Great! Before we continue, here's a link to some helpful tips when dealing with zombies. Remember, safety first, always: Danger! 50,000 Zombies (full 26min) But what do you do when things starts to slow down and you get all comfy and bored? Not to worry. Just in time for the Apocalypse, a Street Fighter/Mega Man fan developed a pretty awesome game where worlds collide! The game was so awesome that Capcom officially licensed it. And this game is: Street Fighter X Mega Man! Why play this over the new games with better graphics and sound and quite possibly better game play? Because 2012 is the 25th Anniversary of Street Fighter and Mega Man and it's for FREE! Happy Birthday!!! Which coincides being in the same year as the End of the World. 2012 is definitely special!

12/21/2012 End of the World! or The Walking Dead New Year's Eve Marathon

What does The End of the World and the Walking Dead have in common? The Walking Dead is about the end of the world and reanimated corpses who's soul purpose is to eat humans has taken over the world. But what does the Mayan Calender and the Walking Dead New Year's Eve Marathon have in common? Apocalypse might have zombies in them? Eh? Well, I guess if the world does end tomorrow, the marathon might not happen. Which will be kind of sad. Maybe there is no connection? I just wanted to post about The End of the World. Anyway, I believe this is the 2nd Walking Dead New Year's Eve Marathon? SyFy's Twilight Zone New Year's Eve Marathon has stiff competition. The Walking Dead New Year's Eve Marathon starts at 9am on Monday December 31, 2012 on AMC with the first episode Days Gone Bye. The show will air in chronological order all the way to the latest episode, Made to Suffer on Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 3am. But, it doesn't stop there. Days Gone Bye will be aired again right afterwards at 4am to close off the marathon.

Doctor Who: The Snowmen Prequel: Vastra Investigates - Christmas Special 2012

Winter is coming... The night is dark and full of terrors. But do not fear because the Doctor Who Christmas Special is less than a week away! It says so in the picture above: "Premieres Christmas Night at 9/8C BBC America." Less than a week. But that still seems pretty far away. In the mean time, here are a couple of promotional videos released by the BBC to stave off the Doctor Who craving. The first video is another prequel to the Christmas Special featuring Madam Vastra. The second video is the BBC America trailer. Enjoy!

Doctor Who: Ultimate 50th Anniversary Trailer Well maybe not the 12th Doctor yet but, there are rumors that there will be a regeneration around 2014: From the Sun: MATT SMITH will keep playing Doctor Who until at least 2014 There is an interesting fact about 12/12/2012 though. The next time that the year, month and day will be the same number is in a thousand years. By that time we'll definitely know who the 12th Doctor is and who's to say that he doesn't already exist? Remember, wibbly wobbly, timey wimey. So, cheers to the 12th Doctor! And here's an awesome trailer done by TARDISELLIOT PRODUCTIONS that takes us back in time to reminisce with the 11 Doctors: Doctor Who | Ultimate 50th Anniversary Trailer | Season 1 - 33 TARDISELLIOT PRODUCTIONS I can't wait to see what Steven Moffat and Matt Smith has installed for the 50th Anniversary Specials. Seems like such a long wait. The Christmas Special is only 12 days away and that seems like too long of a wait!

BANE OUTTAKES

Hello Youtubes! "I'm Bane, yes, that's my name. Bruce Wayne and the Batman are totally the same. I broke his back mortal comBAT smack, then I cracked my '28 Krug champagne." I had my doubts about this video when it was linked to me on Facebook. It started out ok and I had some chuckles but, I totally lost it after minute 2:25. I highly recommend checking this out. The sound mixing and voice over is amazing. BANE OUTTAKES (Auralnauts extended edition) Auralnauts

The Cosplayer Nation Documentary Premiere

On a warm sunny November afternoon, I was fortunate enough to attend the premiere of the Cosplayer Nation Documentary. The documentary was part of a film festival that was held at the Brattle Theater in Harvard Square featuring local film makers and musicians. Amongst these artists is of course our friends, Cosplayer Nation. The CEO and Founder, Joshua Adams and the President and Co-Founder, Uke Li were in attendance. During the first intermission, I got a chance to talk to them and gave them my opinion of the Cosplayer Nation Documentary premiere. They're very nice people and never too busy to say "hello" and chat. So, if you ever see Cosplayer Nation at a convention, don't be shy, just say go up and "Hi!" What did I think of the documentary? Oh... "But wait," you exclaim! "What is Cosplayer Nation?" The short of it, Cosplayer Nation is a project of love started by local New Englanders whom are fans of cosplay. This project later became a legit Organization. Cosplayer Nation travels the world attending conventions seeking out cosplayers and documenting their love and devotion to the art of cosplaying. Basically, cosplaying is dressing up as your favorite character from but, not limited to anime, comic books, movies, pop culture, etc. There's a much deeper level to it but I'll let the real documentarians tackle that. It's literally, "COStume PLAY." A tribute to ANY character or any THING that you're a fan of. You like Einstein? Go ahead, dress up as the wacky atom splitting physicist. Your favorite is a German from the 40's? Sure? BUT! Make sure you don't unintentionally turn that into a hate crime. I'll save the skin and Nazi part of cosplaying for another post. Now, how did I like the Cosplayer Nation Documentary? I enjoyed it a lot. Uke Li was nice enough to show me a trailer of the documentary a couple of years ago and asked me to give an opinion. I ungraciously forgot (sorry Uke. I hope this post makes up for it). My reaction to that initial trailer was very positive. When Cosplayer Nation announced the premiere of the Cosplayer Nation Documentary, I immediately made plans to go and check it out. The film opens with a news reporter interviewing a cosplayer. The reporter was wondering why the cosplayer was dressed up since it wasn't Halloween. Then the film cuts to the news room and you can definitely see the confusion in the news correspondents' weirded out faces. It provoked laughs in the audience but more importantly it sets the tone of the film on answering the question, "what is cosplay?" From the intro, the film rolls into a segment with people dressing up as their favorite characters. Cosplayer Nation definitely took the time and effort to go through hundreds of hours of footage to cut together a very impressive looking group of cosplayers. The music Cosplayer Nation chose to accompany the colorful characters on screen was a very interesting (good interesting) cover of the Legend of Zelda theme with a melodic beat. I have to say, it's pretty Cool! There were people in the audience bopping their heads to the beat. The documentary is not a just a drawn out showcase of people in costumes. It's an unbiased look into the world of cosplaying and goes deeper into the psyche of the culture. It included interviews on the whys and the whats of these devoted artists. Why the many painstaking hours of work in making the costumes? What inspired these people to work so hard to risk being ridiculed? Some of these costumes are much better than what the professionals in Hollywood with a huge budget can create. Actually, I'd always felt that simply calling these incredible works of art "costumes" and "cosplays" does them injustice. But for a lack of my limited vocabulary, I'll stick to what I know. The love for this art also shines through the making of the documentary. The Cosplayer Nation Documentary took us back in time to WorldCon with The First documented costume. It even educated us on the etymology of the word "Cosplay." Diving deeper into the meaning of this art form, the film makers interviewed Danny Choo, the Dancing Stormtrooper of Tokyo, who gave us his take on the culture over in Asia. Another well known cosplayer interviewed was Holly Conrad. She's a Mass Effect cosplayer who got noticed by the movie and videogame industries. Now she's a professional costume designer. Holly Conrad was also featured in Morgan Spurlock's Comic-Con movie, Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope. A segment in the documentary that I really liked was the counterpoint of cosplaying. You know, that person who just doesn't get the art: "Why are you dressed up?" "Are you trying to get attention?" "What's the difference between this and a cry for help?" Later on, the film appropriately cuts to professionals such as system administrators, accountants and lawyers who participates in cosplay as an art form and self-expression. It included a well known Mr. T cosplayer in the New England area telling us what it's all about. He sounded rough but very articulate which is a lot like the documentary itself. The documentary is a bit rough on the edges. I had trouble hearing some of the interviews because the audio was a bit low. But the message it was getting across was legible. During my talk with the film makers (Joshua Adams and Uke Li), they assured me that the sound mixing will be better in the final cut. Yes, final cut. The version of the Cosplayer Nation Documentary shown at the Brattle Theater was only 15min long. This was not because of the film makers short sight. It was because of the time constraint set by the Film Festival. The film makers went on saying that the finished documentary will be much more focused and it'll touch upon the different cultures of cosplaying in other countries. I can not wait. I'd seen documentaries on Pop Culture Conventions such as Trekkies and Morgan Spurlock's Comic-Con movie but, none of them focused on just cosplaying. Cosplaying has became a phenomenon. You've probably seen someone walking down the street as some sort of character when it wasn't Halloween and wondered if the person was crazy. Maybe? But this art form definitely needs a movie if not, a series of movies to tell its story and to clear up misconceptions. It's been months since I did any real writing on this blog let alone, a review. I am glad that the Cosplayer Nation Documentary gave me the inspiration. There is a preview version of the documentary that is longer than 15min and it might show up in a theater, college or convention near you. I highly recommend checking it out if you get a chance. Whether you understand this type of art form/culture or not, the film is highly enjoyable and you'll definitely come out knowing much more about cosplaying. The Cosplayer Nation Documentary was both captivating and fun and as a cosplaying friend of mine would simply put it, "EPIC!" Below is a link to the Cosplayer Nation youtube channel and Facebook. There are hours of cosplay footages and interviews from all around the world. I highly recommend subscribing: Cosplayer Nation's Youtube Channel Cosplayer Nation on Facebook I also linked the trailers of the Cosplayer Nation Documentary. Enjoy!

Saturday Morning Cartoons 12/08/2012

This week for Saturday Morning Cartoons: We have episode 6 of the World of David the Gnome, The Wedding that Almost Wasn't. David and Lisa's friend is having a wedding and David is worried that the trolls will try to ruin the wedding. Because that's what trolls do. They love to ruin weddings. Trolls will be trolls. Be sure not to feed them. For The Real Ghostbusters, we get Attack of the B-Movie Monsters, episode 133 in Season 6. The Ghostbusters battle a Kaiju type monster. I'm really impressed with the use of the Japanese language in the beginning of the episode. The kid in this episode, Kenji, sounds like he's straight out of Katamari Damacy.

Saturday Morning Cartoons 12/01/2012

Saturday Morning Cartoons I was talking to a coworker recently about when she went to college with one of the kids from You Can't Do That On Television. She had a lot of insight on the show and about Alanis Morissette which my coworker did not share with me. Hmmm... Anyway, that got us talking about the shows back then and Saturday Morning Cartoons. What happened to them? Are there still Saturday Morning Cartoons? I wanted to check this morning but I had errands to run. I was going to post these two cartoons this morning as well but, when I came home from the errands, it's already noon. So, for the first "Saturday Morning Cartoon" post on Saturday Afternoon, I'm proud to present David the Gnome and The Real Ghostbusters. Found on youtube. Thank you BRB International and tenthplanet1995 for uploading. Why did I start with these two episodes and not post them in order? To simulate the Saturday Morning Cartoons experience in the 80's and early 90's. When I was a kid, I didn't really care which episode I started on because I didn't have a comprehensive schedule or an episode guide. If we missed the episode in syndication, the network might not rebroadcast it. The best way to keep and rewatch these shows were to record them with VCR.
