Can you name all the vampires?

Have a great Thursday.

Captain America GQ 2011

Dear ladies that read my blog (and any men that feel comfortable commenting on this post), I have one simple question for you.

If a car was hurtling toward you in the parking lot that would result in your inescapable death, would you prefer to be saved by Edward Cullen played by Robert Pattinson in the Twilight movies (adaptation of the Twilight books by Stephenie Meyer) or by this man...

Chris Evans...

Who plays the stars and stripes Captain America superhero from the Marvel Comics of the same name. Here are the photographs from Cap's photo spread taken by famed photographer Mario Testino.

Here's the newest movie trailer that hit June 22nd for your Monday pleasure :) Remember, the movie comes out July 22nd, 2011. Go Red, White, and Blue!

A Jawa HQ, Star Trek: TNG Porn, & Vampire Dental Health

This is a picture of the new Lucasfilm building that's being erected in Singapore. To fans of the Star Wars franchise, ayep, it is intentionally designed to look like a Jawa Sandcrawler which is just plain awesome.

Since synopsis are on the mind of most of the writers out there that are in the query process, I thought you might like to see the synopsis of the new Star Trek: The Next Generation XXX porn parody that's being released.  Here it is:

While en route to Starbase 112, the Enterprise detects strange electromagnetic readings emanating from a barren M-Class planet. Upon further investigation, it is discovered that the source of energy is in fact a box containing Tasha Yar (India Summer), the long dead former Chief of Security of the ship, in cryosleep. Is she the real Tasha Yar? Is she a clone? Or is she something completely different?

The two highlights? It features famous Jean-Luc Picard impersonator Giles Aston in the role of  Enterprise captain Jean Luc Picard—and the return of Tasha Yar!

I guess that Giles Aston is not getting out of his Starfleet uniform for the film. The man's strictly playing Capt. Picard as straight as can be (which would actually be quite in character).

Second, adult film maker Revolution X has clearly put a lot of effort and money into its re-creation of the Next Gen ship, costumes and makeup.

With regard to the new Superman movie, Diane Lane (pictured at below left) was locked up by Zack Snyder for three hours while she read the script. Here's a quote:

"I read the script under lock and key. ... I was locked in a room with the script and was only allowed three hours with it. I nailed it into my memory. I'm really excited. I'm really not allowed to talk much about it, I think, but it does cover the entire range of years, from infancy on."

Diane Lane got locked up to read.

Can you imagine doing that with an agent? That'd be hilarious. *Pushes agent in room with latte and manuscript and locks door* Well hilarious for anyone that read about it...not so much for the poor agent.

And to show you just how far the Twilight saga reaches--if you've been living in a box this is a set of vampire books that gets made fun of in just about every way from digs on the show "Supernatural" to internet memes and .gifs to finally, the Jersey Shore crew. Well now the NHS  in the UK has stepped in on the bandwagon and produced a dental health commercial for...well...vampires. But the message is clear:

If a vampire has any hopes of getting it on, he'd better keep those fangs of his clean. Which is the National Health Service's way of letting guys  know that if they want to get it on, they'd better do the same.

Do Not Trust Space Monsters People. They Eat Radiation for Breakfast!

This is the new logo chosen by the International

Atomic Energy Agency in 2007. You can see

here that they are clearly concerned with space

monsters. It's a spacecraft shooting death rays

at a pirate flag and a stick figure. The message

is clear: Do Not Trust Space Monsters.

The top story of any hour is going to be the ongoing cooling attempts at the badly damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan along with growing fears of radiation. People are good to fear radiation. I mean, in high doses it's deadly, right?  But even worse, it could turn you into a monster that destroys cities.

My proof is all the literature and film that arose in the fifties (a great era of radiation-induced creativity):

Here's a list of the monsters I've come up with so far:


Godzilla defeating a terrible monster!

Godzilla and his buds on Monster Island (a very cool place if I must say so myself). You know, Godzilla can breathe fire and his spine lights up like a Christmas tree when he does so. Not only is it festive, but if you're a smoker and were friends with this guy, you'd never be without a light. But if that wasn't enough to make you think that he's badass, he also subscribes by the idiom "Size Matters" which is totally how every guy think, right? That, and the special effects that brought Godzilla into being still hold up to today's standards. Just look at the .gif I included for you viewing pleasure. I know it inspires you to go off right now and create your own radiation inspired bad guy.

My face looks like

pizza.

The Incredible Melting Man (radiation from Saturn's rings).  Not only did it cause this guy to melt but it also gave him the craving for human flesh. That's so unbelievably cool...how come no one has used it since then?

Monster From Green Hell (again radiation from outer space).

Night of the Living Dead (radiation from a returning Venus probe).

Quatermass Experiment (An astronaught infected with living radiation).

Island of the Burning Doom (although radiation was used to kill the creatures it also was used to create them in the first place).

Hulk Smash! Did you really expect me to say

anything else here?

The Magnetic Monster.

The Island of Terror.

The Atomic Kid.

Spider-Man.  Let's not forget the radioactive spider (this still counts) that turned non-assuming pretty boy Peter Parker from a Justin Bieber to the web-slinging hero of New York City.

The Incredible Hulk (gamma radiation turned Bruce Banner into a green freak). That and muscles are just cool...afterall, guys that read comic books have no chance of getting them anyway. It makes total sense that radiation would be the answer.


Edward Cullen. Vampires sparkle. This is scientific proof that he is a radiation monster. If you don't believe me, there's a discussion going on right now at this link about whether or not the Incredible Hulk could beat Edward Cullen (one radiation monster slugging it out with another). In my professional opinion, Hulk wins.

Hulk is angry cause he's ugly.

Do you write about monsters? If so, where do they come from? Hopefully this post inspires you to churn out stories of radiation pickled monsters galore!
