Video of the Day: "Buffy The Animated Series"

       Back in 2002, while the hit show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was on TV, there were plans for an animated spin-off series, set somewhere during the first season of the show. Despite initial excitement and most of the real life cast providing voices (minus Sarah Michelle Gellar), "Buffy the Animated Series" never got off the ground. It's a shame because, judging by this 'proof-of-concept' video, it would have been a welcome addition to the Buffy-verse.

Quickie Comic Book Review #1: "Werewolves On The Moon VS Vampires" or "Who Has Home Field Advantage?"

       Going thru my comic collection awhile back, I came across this forgotten gem of a title. "Werewolves ON THE MOON VS Vampires" was a 3 issue mini-series released by Dark Horse Comics in 2009 that tried to answer the age old question: "Who would win in a fight: vampires or werewolves?"


       Set in the far future, "Werewolves VS Vampires" followed the mis-adventures of Ted, Jeff and Stan, 3 werewolves who travel to the Moon with the fool plan to become kings of the moon. After all, where else would a lycanthrope even attempt to such a foolhardy stunt?! Not only do things quickly spin out of control for the trio while dealing with the human settlers, they also have to contend with the vampire coven lurking on the dark side of the Moon. Hi-jinks and hilarity ensue as our heroes (?) try to survive long enough to figure out what to do.

      

       Art was handled by the brothers Matt and Shaun Fillbach, who also co-wrote the book with Dave Land. The Fillbach's art is nice and solid with great coloring by Dan Jackson. The art style has a nice 'animated' feel without being to loose and goofy, though the ordinary human characters did seem a little bit awkward at times. The story also has a nice comfortable feel, not unlike the old Saturday afternoon 'monster vs monster'  flicks I used to watch as a kid. Land and the Fillbach's balance the action and horror of the tale very well and even manage to mix in some nice humor as well, taking shots at the overly dramatic and gothic aspects of today's vampire literature.

       All in all, I really loved reading this comic. "Werewolves VS Vampires" is so very much a 'peanut butter and jelly' concept, I cannot help but love it! It takes a very basic and somewhat dated concept and gave it a good spin. It's entertaining without being too mindless and leaves you wanting just a little more. Totally worth buying if you can find it at your local comic book store.

Video of the Day: Fan-Made 'TRON Legacy' Mashup Video

Made up from TV promos, movie trailers and music videos, this 'TRON Legacy' tribute was made by movie fan Josh Prescott. Mr. Prescott's ode to the upcoming (and long over-due, I say) movie sequel was so impressive that 'TRON Lgeacy' producer Sean Bailey even gave it props at a recent press conference in Los Angeles.

It's that good.

Custom 'Back to the Future' External Harddrive or "Does It Hold 1.21 Jigawatts?"

This one is for my buddy, Donny.

Flash Rods is a company that produces custom made USB harddrives and flash drives that look like Hot Wheels and assorted muscle cars. This particular unit is inspired by the Delorean from 'Back to the Future III", right down to the hood mounted, 1950's circuitry and white side-walled tires. The price tag on this beautiful example of geekery is $250, which is a little steep in my opinion, and holds a maximum of 500GB of space. Now that is not nearly enough to break the time barrier. Not enough, by far.

But when you plug this baby in, I bet you'll see some serious shit!

Mark Valley Dishes on 'Human Target' - Season 2 or "The Human Target Paints A Picture"

FOX's "Human Target", one of my favorite shows currently on TV, returns for its sophomore season this Wednesday. In a recent video interview, Mark Valley, the titular 'Human Target', gave his thoughts on what we fans could expect during the upcoming season.

You can check out the video here.

All in all, it sounds like this season will be just as kick-ass cool as the first one. Which means more singular action hero moments per episode than any other action series currently on TV!

Video of the Day: Daft Punk - "Derezzed"

'TRON Legacy' is coming out in a little under a month or so and one of the coolest things about it, besides the fact we're finally getting a sequel to 'TRON',  is the fact that legendary electronic music duo Daft Punk have composed much of the upcoming film's musical score. Here is but a small taste of the acoustic awesome-ness that awaits all us programs this December 17th.
