KISS!!!

Now that I'm 36 years of age, I can only rock n roll all night and PART OF every day.
Be that as it may- enjoy this drawing I scribbled out 11 (!) years ago.

Medieval (Savage) Dragon!

Here's a cool idea I was messin' around with, just having one of my favourite comicbook characters in different time periods.
Here we have him in Medieval times, I guess.
Kinda looks like a refugee from Mike Wieringo's "Tellos", doesn't he?

Comments more than welcome.

"The Mummy: Curse of the Dragon Emperor" review

Well now.

Just under 10 years since the release of the original "Mummy" movie, starring Brendan Fraser and the delicious Rachel Weisz, and the geniuses in Hollywood decided to green light another installment of the Mummy franchise, following a lack lustre sequel in 2001, and a spin off flick, "The Scorpion King" in 2003, starring my man, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

First off, the lack of Ms Weisz in this movie is felt right from the get go. She's been replaced by Maria Bello, last seen in "World Trade Center", and I give her props for trying to fill Weisz's shoes, but sadly, does not pull it off. A valiant effort, but....no dice.

Brendan Fraser is back as adventurer Rick O'Connell, and he looks weary. Not just the character, but Fraser himself. Fraser's movie choices of late haven't been the strongest (Journey to Centre of the Earth, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, etc), so when Hollywood came knockin' with another "Guaranteed" money maker, he jumped all over it like stink on a monkey.

Newcomer Luke Ford plays an 18-year old Alex O'Connell, and he seems to be channelling Matt Damon with his delivery, albeit stiff and uncoloured.

Asian stars Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh are also in this film, and their performances are just as stiff as everyone elses.

The SFX seem..........dated to me. Almost like they were done in 1998 or something. Case in point? The appearances of the Yetis.

Yes.

YETIS.

Painful. My brain hurts.

All in all, it was kinda refreshing to see the characters back in action, but I feel this was a poor performance all around.

I give this one 4.5 out of 10.

Your mileage may vary.

"The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley"

........brilliant!
I remember when this show used to be on, but I couldn't watch cartoons on Saturday (esp in the early 90s), as my Dad used to "claim" the television and watch fucking "This Old House", and other home improvement shows.

SO I would go to school, and hear my buddies talking about this new animated series that Ed "SCTV" Grimley is in. I'm like, "They made a CARTOON" of Ed??? I LOVED Ed!!

This is one of the best cartoon intros out there; I love it. Totally captures the essence of Ed.

Anyone know if there's plans afoot for a DVD release? Heck, even if some eps were released on VHS??
