Ready for take-off.

Posted in General on June 27, 2008 by Voltburn

After lots of sweating and stressing everything is prepared for vacation , all work is delivered , house is cleansed , photo camera recharged and mp3 player fully loaded. Norway here I come!

Luckily I have some spare time to write one last entry before I vanish for 3 weeks , so what’s up? Well let’s start off with the movie stuff that hit the interwebs shall we?

With my staying in Norway for 3 weeks I won’t be able see the The Dark Knight   debut , so that will have to wait till I get back and I will have to avoid anything Batman related to prevent spoilers or people and internet that will spoil it.

Also , haven’t you heard or seen it yet The Dark Knight is loaded with viral ads like TheHaHaHa Times which is the Joker’s own parody to the original Gotham Times and next to that we have Harvey Dent’s campaign called We Are The Answer and I Believe In Harvey Dent.
And ofcourse you have the 10 different but almost the same superbowl, TV spots and trailers clips to gaze upon.

Next on is the film The Green Hornet which will be in theaters 2010, the film based upon the mased crime detective will be written and starred by Seth Rogan.
The guy that wrote Superbad and Knocked up and the upcoming Pineapple Express , so that should be interesting.

One other movie I really look forwards too is Hellboy 2 which will be in theaters July 11th.
Couple of weeks ago watched the first movie again to freshen up my memory, story and characters, really liking the Aw Crap attitude, they gave him. Anyhow for the people who are just as excited as I am here are two clips to lessen your thirst.

Oh and Wanted debuted today , make sure you don’t miss that , have seen the exclusive clips I’m sure it’s going to be awesome.
And no I haven’t read the comic yet , but I will soon.














Went to see The Incredible Hulk couple of days ago awesome movie and much better than I thought it would be at fist.

I never really was a big Hulk fan but this re-do of the previous Hulk movie changed that, so if you’re planning on going but not sure if it’s worth it , I promise you it is.

Oh and the G.I Joe movie coming in 2009? I honestly don’t know man, never really was into Joe back in the day, but can we trust this guy?

Anyhow! that was it concerning movies , time to switch over to the comics.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve bought a bunch of comics I’m sure I will like and will keep me busy for a while , so these are the books I bought.

Gemini #2!
The first one was original , refreshing and on top of all a lot of fun and I can not stress this enough people , if you already haven’t picked up the first issue yet , get it while it’s still in the press and get the second one while you’re at it. You won’t regret it.







Cable & Deadpool Volume 3: The Human Race
Currently the funniest series I’ve read so far, with Cable’s seriousness and Deadpool’s wacky ways of doing and saying things really makes it a first class comedy series.

The New Invaders : To End All Wars
Bought this one because it had Blazing Skull and Union Jack in it, not much to say about it since I’m not really familiar with the Invaders.







The Watchmen
Finally caught it people , after having to remind myself to get it!
Anyhow , really excited to read this massive graphic novel because of the great reviews it was given.

Kill All Parents #1

The thing that spoke to me most in this one , was the art and its freshness it had, this series also received lots of good reviews and positive input.






And that’s it people , my last entry for 3 weeks, when I come back I will give all of the above movies and comics a review so.. stay tuned and see you in 3 weeks!

Not dead.

Captain Blasto

Posted in General on June 10, 2008 by Voltburn

Got this little site from MyExtralife , I think most of you remember or do still watch the little video bits of pure pwnage, you know those guys that brought videogame stuff into the real world.
Well since shortly the comic world has it’s own version now too, Captain Blasto.

Here’s some info about the show , taken from their site.

Captain Blasto, a weekly webseries, follows Colin Carter, a high school outcast, who decides to break free from his lonely life and become what he’s always wanted to be: a super-hero! Colin recruits a middle-aged crew of comic crooks, including his high school janitor Daryl, to stage fake robberies in their small town which he can foil as his childhood hero, Captain Blasto.

But what happens when these bogus burglaries become real?

With it’s distinctive visual style and a fundraised budget, Captain Blasto is a funny, genuine, and professional example of the “digital-do-it-yourself” movie revolution, and has been warmly received by film festivals and audiences across the country.

Why Blazing Skull is awesome

Posted in General on June 10, 2008 by Voltburn

Man , I haven’t read the Union Jack and Skull comics yet but this reeks of cable and Deadpool shenanigans, behavior ways  anyways  , they should publish a  What If comic called ” What if : Union Jack was replaced by Deadpool”

The Basket

Posted in General on June 1, 2008 by Voltburn

Another month another comic Basket , sadly not the ones I mentioned in the blue print.

Posted in General on May 29, 2008 by Voltburn

I’m messing with the site a bit , trying different things like the picture links on the right and the tags and such , but didn’t know that with converting my categories get deleted, so I will be assigning them to categories again, besides that the new title ” Atomic Lunch” is a working title since I’m currently fresh out of idea’s for the blog.

Super Villains for Dummies.
