New KITT from new Knight Rider?

I first mentioned the possibility of a new Knight Rider TV show HERE. Well Jalopnik has what there saying this the new KITT. For those of us (like myself) that can't instantly recognize the car it's a 550 HP Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang. Jalopnik is a Concept/Cool car blog, I've never heard of Jalopnik before today, but I'm not much of a car guy. I do tend to believe them however, basically because they are part of the Gawker/Gizomodo/Consumerist family, which I have find to be all together pretty reliable.
Oh and there is a disclosure that the illumination of the light on the grill is photoshoped. But it actual lamp seems to be built it as shown. I wonder if they will use the the original theme song, or if they will use one of the man times the theme has been sample, like the Busta Rhymes, Panjabi MC, or Timbaland and Magoo songs.(please, please PLEASE not the Timberlad and Magoo song. Please!)

An ode to Rob Liefeld's crapiness

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Rob Liefeld is one of the worst comic artist ever to curse readers with not only his craptacular art, horrid creator owned comic stories and overall anoying Levi jeans add. Progressive Boink has compiled Liefeld's 40 worst images. I may not agree with the order, but I can't argue with any of the points they make. I say Good job Progressive Boink! Even if you're not a comic fan check out the link for some laughs in anatomy.

New images from Watchmen

I am so excited for the new Watchmen movie, if you haven't read the Watchmen graphic novel, you are missing what is arguably the best graphic novel of all time! I have below some new images from the set of Watchmen which director Zack Snyder of 300 fame is currently working on. I know to the untrained eye these images might not be so exciting, but in order for Watchmen to truly work as a movie, it needs to take place in the 80's and from the look of these shots Zack and the gang are on the right path.

Hoff to Ride Again?

Ok wow, while poking my nose around I found this article on Reuters about everyones favorite beach bathing, word slurring, look at me mom I'm driving with no hands, talent scout, David Hasselhoff. Now Reuters is saying he and Deanna Russo of The Young and the Restless fame are in talks to star in a new Knight Rider on NBC.

I tell you one thing I know a Knight Rider without the Hoff would surely suck. As Knight Rider with the Hoff might suck too, but I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt for no other reason than the old series was after my bed time.
I wonder if we will see a re-tooled KIT primed and ready for product placement a la Bumblebee in Bay's Transformers. I just hope's it's better than NBC's 1933 Viper. That shows awfulness still makes me a bit nauseous.

What Do you think? Is America ready for The Hoff's first fore into prime time scripted drama since Baywatch Nights? Or should he stick to being the America's Got Talent version of Paula Abdul? Tell us how you really feel in the comments.

I love "timeshifting"

I recently got an invite to the new Hulu.com. Hulu is a large free streaming library of Fox and NBC shows both new and old. I think Hulu is the network's way of fighting piracy by providing free content and adding commercials, which is just fine by me as long the adds don't take up more time then their viewings on the classic boob tube. What I love most about Hulu is the shows can be e-mailed or embedded just like most user-generated clips of people who need way too much attention and/or their cats. Anyway I like the site and heres a look at what I've been watching...

here's a couple of funny shorts





And some full lenth shows. The website allows you to view full screen versions.





Even full length Movies!

Have fun, and hit the comments to let me know what your watching

Marvel explains what happened...

Marvel Digital Comics Review

Sorry of the delay with this review, I'd give you a good excuse, but I'm a little hungover and I can't think one up right now. Having used Marvel's selection of digital comics which they have offered for free for the last few years, I had some idea of what I was getting into. I had hoped that Marvel would have used the free digital comics to work out the kinks in their flashed based digital comics reader, I was sadly mistaken.

The comic reader has a few options on how to view the comic, one page, two page and "smart" panel. The smart panel is a great idea, it allows one to view one or two panels at at time and merrily scroll through the sequential panels. However it often crops the bottom of the panel, or looses me when it zooms out to the whole page to read a larger panel. The only way to get the whole story with smart panel is to switch between it and two page mode to zoom into what it cropped.

Two Page mode is just what it sounds like. Showing both pages on your screen, allowing you to zoom in and out to read the panels. Marvel has included a small magnifying glass which you can use to zoom the dialog boxes only. However in some cases Marvel forgot to include the larger version of dialog boxes.(i.e. Adventures into Fear # 16)

I most often use the one page mode, in which you can scroll top to bottom with the with of the page fully fitting into the with of your screen. Even this mode has a huge flaw, it crops the bottom of EVERY page. When the writers include dialog boxes at the bottom of the page, I found the need to switch back to two page mode and once again zoom to the area which I missed.
Allin all the two page works the most like it's designed to, however zooming and scrolling on every page tends to be more trouble than it's worth.

A few other flaws have slipped trough Marvel's hands, in the most noticeable of which, dialog boxes are set on the page askew off by (on my screen) about an eight of an inch.(i.e. Astonishing X-Men # 5, Irredeemable Ant-Man #2) I Also found a few pages to be under digitized, essentially appearing on my screen in "lo-res"(i.e. Irredeemable Ant-Man #2 pg 13 & 22)

OK, so even with those challenges I must say I love this idea and hope they fix the issues as well as add more content. The truth is digital comics aren't nearly as nice as sitting down with a comic or a trade, but this is a great way to allow readers to explore Marvel's vast history. I do love reading comics and the digital comics are no exception I have now found myself staring at my computer screen for hours on end for an entirely new reason.

So my final call: Great Idea, Fix the reader Issues and add more content. But still wort the price of admission.

LEGO Batman Teaser Trailer

I loved LEGO Star Wars, so I can't wait for this LEGO Batman to drop.
Calling this a trailer just isn't fair, but it's just enough to tease my fanboy sensibilities.

I've also herd some hype on a possible LEGO Indiana Jones.

It's almost sad in this age of HD Games I'm most pumped for LEGO renderings.

As far as movie adaptions go I'm still waiting for LEGO Solyent Green.
Which would be the better phrase; "Solyent Green is LEGOs!" or "They're making our blocks out of people? Or not, but a LEGO Charlton Heston I mean how cool would that be!?

Marvel still Slugish.

I've gotten on to Marvel.com and as far as the sign in page. I enter my usuall Marvel.com address in order to sign up for the subscription service and... ... ... ... ... the tension is killing me. Ok not really but this lack of forward progress is annoying.

One update I'm not thrilled with; after your subscription is up Marvel automatically re-ups your subscription. If you paid annually then you get an e-mail, you you signed up for a month to month, then you don't get any notification of renewal, just >BAM< $9.99 deducted from your credit card.

I'll be back with more, when I have it!

Marvel servers overwhelmed by a good idea?

Marvel launched it's massive subscription based comic book library, which you can read about here. I've often read Marvel's free online comic reprints online using their flash based reader, and while it will never be as good as holding a book it's a great way to catch up.

Well I have been trying to view Marvel.com for the better part of an hour with no luck...
Could Marvel's servers been overwhelmed by people ready to fork out $9.99 for one month like myself?

I don't know for sure, but I'll update you as soon as I do and give my review on the new service.

Halloween Hangover: Yip yip yip yip!

Over the next day or so I'll post any fun collections of Halloween costumes I find. I love costumes, not wearing them really, just laughing at outher people in their costumes. I'm also a little tired of reading about the pros and cons of skimpy costumes this year, so here's some great muppets costumes from ToughPigs.com check it out Here.

New X-Men X-over Messiah Complex Trailer

I don't know what it is about these comic "trailers" I love so much, but they sure do get the job done as far as hyping me up. I do love a good X-Men crossover, with the Avengers stealing the spotlight from our favorite genitically superior super heros lately (how many teams is Wolverine on?), I think we deserve a good X-over! Although at first glance the plot seems a little save the
cheerleader mutant baby, but Marvel assures us it's the biggest X-over in over a decade (when was Age of Apocalypse? And I guess we're not counting House of M as a X-Man thing?
