We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
WizKids are going strong and producing new HeroClix at a fast pace. If you are a HeroClix collector you are enjoying this or asking them to slow down. Anyway, scheduled for an April 2014 release is the Marvel HeroClix: X-Men-Days of Future Past game pieces. This is to tie into the release of the new X-Men First Class movie which will be released May of 2014.
ICv2 is reporting that the FOX network has placed and order for a Gotham series after a bidding war between networks. The show will feature a young Commissioner Gordon and will not feature Batman. It is to be along the lines of the old DC Comics series Gotham Central, which some of you might have in your collections.
If you are into animation or just want to take the kids to a show Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 opens this weekend for your enjoyment. Thanks to “joblomovienetwork” on YouTube for the following trailer:

| Geoffrey the Giant “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock’ Hilarious Spoof on The Big Bang Theory |
More on Geoffrey:
OFFICIAL WEBSITE? FACEBOOK
Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock is a side-splitting video that parodies the shows favourite characters settling their dispute in true Big Bang style– with a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard Spock
Sam Kass himself, the inventor of the cult game and the man who has been hailed on the show by Sheldon, Leonard, Raj and Howard, gave Geoffrey his full seal of approval on hearing the track.
The track is taken from Geoffrey’s forthcoming aptly titled Geoffrey the Giant’s Big Bang. Geoffrey is a singer-songwriter from Ottawa Canada who aside from being a very funny man is also incredibly talented singer and has as already dueted with Carly Rae Jepsen on Canadian Idol and song-writing legend Ron Sexsmith.
Of course everyone is familiar with the Big Bang Theory. Geoffrey has a clear voice and the song has a catchy tune that once listened to you won’t be able to get the chorus out of you head. Not really sure if more of Geoffrey the Giant’s songs will be parodies or if this is just something he wanted to do, time will tell. Check out the video here from the Geoffrey the Giant’s channel on YouTube:
In 2014, Alderac Entertainment will be releasing the card game Sail to India.

Metropolis America Release “A Stolen Heart In A Stolen Car” Video Indie – Steedog Records |
|
METROPOLIS AMERICA RELEASE VIDEO “A STOLEN HEART IN A STOLEN CAR” “A Stolen Heart In A Stolen Car” is an ode to the recklessness of youth. It’s about living in the moment, transgressing boundaries, and feeling the euphoria that comes with not giving a fuck. Its video, perfectly captures the essence of that rebelliousness. Focusing on two girls who have run away from home and rejected the banality of their formal existence, their escape is alive with the feeling of being young and drunk on life, drunk on possibility but also on drama. The video is directed by Mate Valtr and produced by Brian Sperber and their efforts and production show a clean short film that has the beginning, middle, and end. These are the types of music videos I appreciate because they tell the story from the song. Their hard work has paid off by giving Metropolis America a great music video to go with a great song. Check it out below from Metropolis America’s YouTube channel:

Tørgny
“Grønn Extra” (Green Extra) is the first single off Torgny’s new album Oil Panic. Somewhere between Broadcast’s “America’s Boy” and Chromeo’s “Needy Girl,” it draws from both electro funk and experimental pop.Yes it’s catchy, but “Grønn Extra” is uncommonly gritty too, drawing on Torgny’s dynamic vocal performance andyears of experience in the international hardcore/punk scene.
