thehefnerGIP, to show off my new improved version of this icon.
My amazon.com package arrived. I am a haaaaaaaapy panda.
IF.... (four periods, not three) was expensive, but so worth it, and a movie night simply must be arranged. Same goes for THE MONSTER SQUAD, which sure isn't for all tastes, but to those who gravitate towards 80's kids-in-peril flicks like I do, oh hell yes, this DVD is magnificent. As if I needed another reminder of his awesomeness, Tom Noonan is now on my short list of actors to cast as Bub for my Johnny Go movie (other options include Howard Sherman first and foremost of course, but also Ron Perlman or Simon Pegg on platform shoes).
Also, because the library copy is falling apart, I went ahead and bought HOUSE OF LEAVES, which is already getting dangerously close to overhyped for my comfort, while still intriguing the heck outta me. Don't pump it up too much, people!
The question now becomes do I start this, or do I keep plowing through Roger Zelaney's CHRONICLES OF AMBER complete all-in-one volume, which is awesome, but also ten frickin' books long? Seriously, I can see why this is Bloo's favorite book of all time, it's totally great, but dear lord, people, yikes. Books like this on my reading list are why I can never, ever read HARRY POTTER. Hell, I wanna reread THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV someday, as it's my own personal favorite novel of all time.
In other news, I understand the upcoming DOCTOR STRANGE animated DVD movie might not actually suck. I'm really hoping that Marvel's direct-to-DVD films are finally getting it together, as they've been lackluster so far. Still, I have to say that it's getting kind of annoying how all these VENTURE BROS. fans see this pretty picture of Dr. Strange from the upcoming movie...
... and think "Oh, hey, he reminds me of Dr. Orpheus! Who is this guy?"
Now look. I think VB is one of the best shows on TV right now, I honestly do. And yes, even I admit that I cannot read Dr. Strange without hearing Dr. Orpheus' voice.
All the same, these people just make me wanna go WHAT?? BY THE HOARY HOSTS OF HOGGOTH, YOU KNOW NOT OF HE WHO BEARS THE EYE OF AGAMOTTO, WEILDS OF THE CRIMSON BANDS OF CYTTORAK, AND IS THIS EARTHLY REALM'S SOLE DEFENSE FROM THE OTHERWORLDLY MENACE OF THE DREAD DORMAMMU, THE SORCERER SUPREME, DOCTOR STEPHEN STRANGE?!?!?!
Damn kids today, not knowing their Marvel Comics.
I blame the hip hop.
... Man, I'm getting restless. I should go to the gym, if only as an excuse to get out of the house for a bit.
