Merry Eating on the Holidays

Chunky Pam
I found this and it was fun so I had to share.

The Iron Avenger

Iron Man was THE superhero movie of the year. (Take that Dark Knight with your weird mystery voice(Heath Ledger was cool though)) My favorite line was when Pepper Potts told Tony's lady friend that sometimes her job includes taking out the trash. If the movie ended there it would still have been worth it for me. Marvel finally has a very good first movie; not low budget, casting issues, cheap special effects or anything.

Viral Box Office

Here are my favorite viral videos:

Do You Feel Safe At Work?

Some people go through a lot of dangers to earn a living. Others have sensitive people and customers to handle, and management can stressing sometimes.

These are ADs in Canada are aimed at promoting workplace safety. I discovered them one day at work and they made my day so I had to share. They are a little bloody but you're guaranteed to laugh out loud.

In a previous job I slipped at the end of the staircase and sprained my ankle. Currently I eXperience mini earthquakes at work(especially when heavier persons pass me) but these people definitely win the serious issues award.

Kim Kardashian Jessica Simpson mic lock

Fist of all let me state: I AM NOT A FAN OF KIM KARDASHIAN. It's obvious Kim doesn't know how to use the junk in her trunk or she wouldn't have gotten kicked off Dancing with the Stars. Mind you/ her dumpster is quite easy on the eyes.
Is it possible Kim Kardashian's ass can't dance? Jessica Simpson hungry?

Keri Hilson is eXtra ordinary

The more I hear her sing the more I want to hear from her. She was infectious when she appeared with Timbaland on "The Way I Are" but since then "Energy" has energized my affection for her music."Hero" a song by Nas is another great eXample of how influential and talented she is appearing as slightly less than background Vocal and more as a part of the track; her sound is ear-takingly melodious. No offense Nas but I would much prefer this track as an instrumental. I'm eagerly anticipating her debut album. In the eVent you didn't recognise that lady playing the lead in Usher's "LoVe in this Club" video, yup it was her. Keri also made a non-vocal appearance in the video for Ne-Yo's latest single "Miss Independent".



For an eXtensiVe look at Ms. Hilson's many appearances and past credits check out her wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keri_Hilson.

! need more P!nk

P!nk has a new rockin' video kids. She's the most talented, creatiVe, kick-ass, fun loVing, daring, intelligent, beautiful female rock star.

Here is an example of a Splog post

This is a social media eXperiment to see the effects of spam and related junk on my blog.
Anybody not familiar with splog, well it's just garbage like spam but on a website or blog. For eg:

Wanna go Dancing with the Stars?

Toni Braxton and Alec Mazo will be Dancing with the Stars beginning MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on ABC. I'm hoping she will win the competition. She has more than sufficient eXperience as a singer and dancer in her Las Vegas show.

Miss Braxton

Lance Bass from N Sync will also appear this season.

Mi waan watch di Watchmen!

I discoVered this amazing trailer at work one day and got hooked. Patrick Wilson (from Hard Candy, Little Children) and Jackie Earle Haley (also in Little Children) are amazing actors. Really looking forward to watching this moVie. Hopefully it doesn't get tied up in court too long. In the mean time I'm going to read the graphic noVel.

Here's your chance to watch...

Here's a link to the Apple HD trailers for an eVen better resolution.

"Ms. Jackson" if you're nasty

"Rock With U" the 2nd single off Miss Jacks new album is my new favorite video. At 1st it came off as odd but 30 seconds into he video I was hooked. The dancers as decorative as they are, are all very talented. The song is very good and the video is on the same level. I like the way the choreography defined the song in it's own little way. My favorite scene is where she look all frass out from dancing and leave the dance floor and get kissed. Overall though it's an excellent job finally making me a real fan of Ms. J.

Mythic Avenger

MYTHOS: CAPTAIN AMERICA #1

Written by PAUL JENKINS

Art and Cover by PAOLO RIVERA

I came across this video at Marvel and I was convinced it's worthy of some spotlight so enjoy. The story and art from the Mythos are some of the best. Steve Rogers was always one of those compelling characters in the Marvel Universe. This story speaks a lot without any audio, just take a look and see, the visuals are simply amazing.

"... & THE X-MEN"

"WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN" doesn't début on NICKTOONS until months away in 2009. However you lucky Comic-con attendees can view the THREE-PART PILOT at the SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON on SATURDAY [JUNE 28th] at 8:30PM PT in Room 6CDEF. The SUPERVISING PRODUCER CRAIG KYLE, HEAD WRITER GREG JOHNSON and others producers of the series will be there to promote their X-cellent cartoon. The first season of thie animated television series will be 26 episodes. television , you can be the first to see the


I cant wait for this show to commence. As I stated earlier, I know initially the spotlight will be on Wolverine [yawn ..... then coughs- overplayed] but I hope the focus mutates to some other character or characters, even X-23. So far, The x-plosive quantity of cameos, astonishing art, and changes in the plot have grasped my attention. I even miss Jean already but I think she'll show up sooner or later. I mean the Phoenix always rise again [assuming she died]. Emma should be an intreguing character. I'm looking forward to seeing a PG-13 version of her. The pacing is good as well, I think a lot of persons didn't like the fact that X-Men: Evolution was a bit slower. If the season finales are anything like Evolution then we got ourselves something x-treme going. The more trailers get released, the harder the wait becomes.

Team Avatar

MAJOR SPOLIER ALERT!!!
[This article contains important spoiler detaild below for Avatar season 3.]

Haven't heard about Nickolodeon's Avatar the Last Airbender? Where have you been living in the Earth's core?

Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph and Zuko are the close friends, master benders and family
of the Avatar. Aang is the Avatar that means he can control all the elements: fire, water, earth and air. The bending masters who are teaching him to master these elements are:

Katara - A descendant of the (endangered list) South Water Tribe, Katara is a great water bender. She discovered the Aang, along with her brother Sokka frozen near their home. Katara is the heart and soul of this little gang motivating them and always standing up for those who can't defend themselves. She's a woman way ahead of her time.

Toph - Toph is blind but her earth bending allows her to see through vibrations that connect with the earth. In addition there is no earth bender quite like Toph. He wealthy parents though she was a delicate flower but she battled in secret tournaments and eventually ran away to join the Avatar on his quest.

Zuko - Prince of the Fire Nation, he initially sought the Avatar to restore his honour. His mentor and uncle Iroh, appealed to Zuko's inner being to follow his true destiny. After accomplishing his task and returning home as a hero Zuko was not fulfilled. He later realised his purpose was to help the Avatar restor balance to the world.

Aang - Since being revived from his frozen state Aang is the sole surviving air bender. Thankfully he seems to be on top of air bending, he himself being a member of the Air Nomads.

Iroh - The once renowned general was imprisonedby his family because he supported the Avatar. Iroh escaped and we haven't heard from him since then. He's actually part of a group "The White Lotus" with the mission to restore order to the fire nation by overthrowin the current rulers.

Giant-Sized Astonishing X-Men!!!

I don't know about you guys but this book is out now and I can't wait to read it. This has been a very great X-Men title over the years. The only problem was that it was plagued by publishing delays. Joss Whedon (writer) and John Cassaday (artist) really outdid themselves on this book.

Cover to Giant-Sized Astonishing X-Men #1 featuring Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers.

Warren Ellis is writing and the Italian, Simone Bianchi is the new eXtremely talented artist with the upcoming issue 25. The new creative team is great and hopefully the book can go monthly without any more delays. Simone Bianchi is a great artist just what the book needs to keep the momentum. (Just look at his pages below) The initial Astonishing team consisted of:
Armor -- New kid on the x-block
Colossus -- Back from the dead
Cyclops -- Great character but I hate his new costume
Beast -- The most intelligent charismatic beast around
Lockheed -- Kitty's fire breathing, pet dragon
Shadowcat -- Our favorite intellectual, down to earth lovable phaser
Wolverine -- He's on every team in the Marvel Universe by default
The White Queen -- Everybody's favorite female dog







What I'm most looking forward to, excluding a Monthly publication:

Art from Bianchi

Characters -
Storm -- African Queen of Wakanda and the mistress of weather
Nightcrawler -- Finally the elf is back in the spotlight
X-23 -- If it were up to me Wolverine would go and she would fill his space. The redundancy in not necesssary, besides I like her more.
Armor -- I'm looking forward to seeing her evolution as a person and a mutant.

More Bianchi art.
And Please a new Cyclops costume.

Where are they now?...

I was searching youtube for videos of one of my all time favorite band LFO. This lead to the discovery that Devin Lima the most talented singer from the trio now has his own band "Devin and the"The Cadbury Diesel". His upcoming album titled "Mozart Popart" comes from One Eleven Records. 1-11 Records is operated by Devin's former band mate and good friend Brad Fischetti.

"Hangin With You - Devin Lima"


Crafty Witch
A great live performance

Tami Chynn video log

A new era in music has arrived I'm not even sure how to classify this type of music: dancehall, reggae, pop, R&B? Tami is definitely doin her thing and it's just gettin better and better everytime. Just give some love to this Jamaican musical pioneer.

Over And Over Again

Simple and elegant! This song always leave you wanting more.

Hyperventilating


Hyperventilating [Director's Cut Version]

Raw sex appeal and incredible dancing to an outstanding song! If that doesn't make you hyperventilate then check your pulse, you must be dead. The sexiness level in this video was through the roof. Miss Chynn's dance skills can prove she's 100% Jamaican.

Tell Mi Seh


Tell Mi Seh [low quality]

I love dat bousy walk in the end.

Ice Breaker Riddim Medley

2:02 Tami certainly does represent in this medley, keeping the tempo and energy flowing. All the artists here deserve credit: Voice Mail, Wayne Marshall, Busy Signal, Jovi Rockwell, Cezar. This was a job well done.

Arguing (with Wayne Marshall)

Why can't we just get along?

Why (again with Wayne Marshall)

Why Tami nuh deh pan tv every day? She's too pretty not to be. If Tami was in a soap opera I would watch her portion of the show every day.

All On Me (with Sean Paul)

Not an official video but I love this song too much. She stole the show here even though she was supposed to just be a featured artist. If that's not talented skills then I don't know what is. [It could also be my bias towards her.]

Rock U (with Kid Kurup)

The video that started it all. A legend is born. Tami's unique talent, style, flair, fashion sense, beauty and dance moves were evident here too. Cameo: Tessanne Chin [Tami's little sister, with the BIG voice] @ 1:57.

Now if only "Looky Looky" and "1,2,3,4" had videos. I'm desperately awaiting the frozen video and her album release this summer.

Dangerous - M.Pokora ft. Timbaland & Sebastian

This video is flawless. It has a really great vibe and no matter what mood you're in it's sure to grab your attention. I also like the pace, choreography and humour mixed throughout. Matt Pokora's album "MP3" is full of great music that's definitely worth a listen. It's evident here why there has been so much buzz about Matt. He's one talented man. Just don't compare M.P. to J.T. or you might end up in a dangerous spot.

I notice Timbaland has an uncanny ability for finding talent. Or is he the reason these songs are so great? Whatever the story is; it's evident these people had talent to begin with and Timbo worked his magical beats. This video has my favorite Timbaland rap to date. Just try to follow it through, each line is intricately woven and delivered with the same amount of style to have you dangerously addicted. The little zaney, comedy thug or whoever that character Tim's playin' is also fun. Wherever this idea came from it was definitely unpredictable and it works in a crazy, quirky kinda way.

Havin' a bad day or just feelin' low? Well, allow Matt 2 cheer you up. You can even bust out some dance moves [when nobody's around, if you're shy].

Lyrics [coming as soon as I can decipher Timbo's complete rap]

A boy from Hell?

Hellboy II: The Golden Army starring: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, Luke Goss and Anna Walton, opens July 11.


This is the New York Comic-Con (NYCC) poster from Universal Pictures.

The official Hellboy II movie website is amazing. It's been a while since I was this amazed by a film's website. There is a huge amount of content here and commentary throughout by the director himself, Gullimero Del Toro. Considering how much went into the making of this movie and its website, is it any wonder why this is on my list of must see movies for the summer. The only thing I'm left pondering is what's left to be bonus content for the DVD.

Liz has gotten hotter since we last saw her. I like the new costumes and monsters they look incredible. Can't wait to see what crazy creature "go bump in the night" this time around.

What I Wanted To See!

Now that's what I call riding shotgun.

I know Iron Man might be the Super Man of Marvel but I'm dying to see Angelina Jolie in Wanted this year. Ms Jolie is one of the greatest action stars of our era. I admire her skills being feminine yet possessing the ability to take on monsters, assassins or just about anyone. In the trailer she can be seen proving this and more. Watching her fight is like watching a dancer bring music to life with deadly precision. I find it very captivating. And just let me add, my money was on Mrs. Smith when she was contracted to kill Mr. Smith. [Although I might be a little biased because I'm a big fan of Angelina.]

Hey guys, I think she want some help with her sun block.

Wanted, starring James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie, will be in theatres on June 27.

Here is the New York Comic-Con (NYCC) poster featuring Jolie & McAvoy, courtesy of Universal Pictures.

Wolvie & The X-Men

The trailer for the upcoming X-Men cartoon is online. It sure heightened my interest. My only request more X-Men less Wolverine. It's about time the other characters got some spotlight; Wolverine is way over played. [The link below is to the hi-res version.]

Some Light Reading - The Old New Mutants

The girls of the New Mutants:
Mirage (top), Karma (back), Magma (crouching), Wolfsbane (morphing).

Since last year I have been trying to update myself on some X-Men history. I have been reading the original New Mutants comics. The group first appeared in the Marvel Graphic Novel #4 (1982) from Marvel Comics. The New Mutants which was published monthly, followed these characters along the journey their lives took since discovering the were mutants. Mutants are humans who posses an extra ability due to genetic evolution. The book is quite impressive. I'm beginning to wonder why Cannonball was the only person that made it/graduated to the X-Men. Excluding Wolfsbane who was on several other teams. This series was unique because it centered on the lives of these teenagers that just happened to be mutants. The New Mutants initially had 5 members: Karma, Sunspot, Wolfsbane, Cannonball and Mirage, the leaders. I also like the idea of the team being mostly female. The book focused on character development which is evident with the addition of Magma, Magik, Shadowcat, Warlock and Cypher in future years. As I continue to read this series I'm discovering much more than how these characters fit into the X-Men universe. I'm growing and evolving with these mutants, whom I have come to hold in such high regard. Artist Bob McLeod, painter Bill Sienkiewicz and writer Chris Claremont did a wonderful job bringing drama to the lives of these youngsters.

Here are the initial 6 members of the New Mutants and their mutant abilities.
Cannonball - thermochemical rocket propelled flight/near invulnerability
Karma - telepathic possession of others
Magma - flame projection and control over lava and volcanic activity including earthquakes
Mirage - elaborate mental illusions normally linked with fear
Sunspot - super strength from solar energy absorption
Wolfsbane - mutant werewolf, transforms at will

Cannonball, Wolfsbane, Karma, Mirage, Magma.

The Sentinels vs the original team, excluding Karma.

The new mutants are property of Marvel Comics.
