Homeboy Sandman - I Do Whatever I Want

Rasco- "Clear & Present Danger"

Retromatic Movie of the Week: Super Mario Bros.

Holy french fries, what can be said about this movie that hasn't been said about the first street fighter movie with raul julia. Yea, exactly. The over the top villainous behavior, the terrible acting and the "oh no they didn't" jokes. The difficultly level of turning a video game in to a successful live action film has risen this movie was release, but Dennis Hopper as King Koopa, holy shit... too funny. right before speed and all. anyways. If you haven't seen it, do it to yourself and make sure its after you have a bowl of apple jacks. Smokin' Green apples.

Saturday Morning Throwy: Defenders of Earth (ep1)

What's good ninjas? This weekend's throwy comes all the way from 1986. The DEFENDERS OF EARTH was pretty much the the second great animated team up after Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends which aired from 1984-1986. While Defenders was much more hardcore (Flash Gordon's wife was tortured killed then had her consciousness uploaded into a computer)it only stuck around for one season & 65 episodes. The group consisted of characters that appeared in newspaper comicstrips published by King Features Syndicate. The Phantom, Flash Gordon and Mandrake the Magician were the main characters charged with defending the earth (duh). Rounding out the team of heroes were Lothar, Mandrake's bodygaurd, assistant and seasoned "caribbean ninja" (seriously, his action figure's packaging labeled him a "caribbean ninja". Also there was Rick Gordon, Flash Gordon's computer genius son, L.J., Lothar's son skilled in the martial arts ('cause when your dad is a carribean ninja your extracurriculars are limited) Jedda Walker, Phantom's daughter, Kshin, Mandrake's adopted son and Dynac X aka Dale Arden, the aforementioned psyche of Flash Gordon's murdered wife uploaded into a super computer. Together they fought the evil of Ming the Merciless and other would be evil doers jeopardizing the Earth safety. So without further to do i'm gonna stop typing and let you watch the first episode, enjoy.

NYC Zombie Crawl Invades Brooklyn

This Sunday Williamsburg, Brooklyn will host a re-enactment of the hit AMC television show THE WALKING DEAD with an inebriated twist. Yes, there will be alcohol. On Sunday hordes of the fake undead will descend on the trendy Brooklyn section for the sixth annual NYC ZOMBIE CRAWL. Initially sober patrons can become not sober and get a zombie makeover for $5 and up (prices most likely depend on if you wanna be a walker, runner or crawler) at Trash bar (256 Grand St., at Roebling) and Grand Victory (245 Grand St., at Roebling) at about 3:30pm where the crawl will kick off. After a few shots and an healthy serving of grey matter the unholy horde will then spill onto Bedford Ave. at 6 p.m. and shuffle, stagger, thriller or however zombies travel over to McCarren Park, making a pit stop at Spike Hill (186 Bedford Ave., at Seventh St.) ultimately being drunk, belligerent and possibly craving brains at an after-party at Public Assembly (70 N. Ninth St.; $12 cover for zombies, $15 for humans, Rick Grimes gets in free, they owe him that much afterall). Craving more than brains? No worries they got you covered. There will be a “hot zombie contest” for the most doable brain eater (but she's a zombie). Also if you're walking dead on a budget Halloween Adventure's got you covered as well. Buy an outfit at the costume retailer (104 Fourth Ave., at 11th St.) and get 10% off your purchase by simply mentioning “NYC Zombie Crawl.” “The more blood, the better,” suggests zombie ringleader Doug Sakmann, who organized the crawl with his special-effects colleagues and Backseat Conceptions production company. Sakmann’s been known to spray fellow walkers with fake blood from a SuperSoaker. “And drinking beer definitely helps add to the zombie walk and the groaning,” he says. The living can rest in peace - undead etiquette calls for leaving bystanders and private property alone. “Although I’m sure someone will try to start getting the ‘Thriller’ dance going,” he warns. I'm posting this especially for the homie Franky 'cause this event pretty much combines his two favorite things. See you out there bro.

Halo Creator's Next Game Leaked

So Bungie, the creators of HALO have been unfaithful to their first-person shooter. The company has been developing a new game, codenamed: "DESTINY" set to hit your local Game Stop next fallish. The game will be supported by both the 360 and the XBOX 720 (as its been rumored to be called) whenever microsoft decides to put that out (sorry Sony). Information on the game leaked when a contract between Bungie and game publisher Activision went public. With this new deal Bungie has agreed to develop a four-part franchise with DESTINY with one to come out each year after part 1 drops next fall. They'll also release downloadable expansion packs, codenamed: "Comet". Allegedly the game developer is boasting a "massively-multiplayer style" experience, although little is known about what that actually means. One theory is players will be required to authenticate their game online whenever they want to play, alot like the recently released Diablo III. There are rumblings however that the XBOX 720 will require all games to do this, so that could be some evidence there. Because i really don't see how Bungie was making a new online game a year for four straight years. Which is the only other way you could have a massive-multiplayer styled experience. The contract released in the court filing was signed two years ago, and it could be that aspects of it have been adjusted since then. As it stands under the initial terms, though, Bungie's first game in the series will be exclusive to the Xbox and its successor for a year. PlayStation 3 owners will be able to try that shit out in 2014, though it looks like PS4 owners may not be able to (womp womp).

U.S. Catholic Groups Sue Obama Administration Over Contraception

So now the Catholics got beef. Catholic institutions have moved to sue the Obama Administration today to ultimately block a government regulation that requires employers to provide health insurance coverage for contraception to their employees. The regulation, which is part of the president's healthcare reform law, has sparked beef between the administration and the Roman Catholic Church, which is not down with artificial contraception. Some 43 Catholic groups including Notre Dame University, the Catholic University of America and the Archdiocese of New York filed 12 different suits across the country to reinforce the fact that they're not okay with the law. The organizations are accusing the federal government for being insensitive and all around shitty towards their religious beliefs for basically thugging them to support contraception, sterilization and birth control. The original law exempted churches and other houses of worship from covering contraception on the basis of religious objections. However the original regulation did not specify an exception for religious nonprofit groups, like schools, hospitals and charities. Which prompted church leaders stand up and collectively ask WTF, bro?! To compromise, the Pres dialed back the rule back in February (which prompted the POTUS to ask back WTF, guys). So Obama met Catholic institutions in the middle a full 90+ days ago announcing that insurance companies would cover the cost of contraception for its employees. So i ask you what is beef? Well, beef is in this case when the complainers say the accomodation didn't go far enough (WTF, bro!!). "In order to safeguard their religious freedoms, religious employers must plead with the government for a determination that they are sufficiently ‘religious,'" Notre Dame said in its lawsuit, filed in Indiana federal court. Under the revised mandate, religious organizations can only qualify for the exemption if their purpose is to spread their religious beliefs. Additionally, they must also primarily employ and serve people with the identical religious values. The Institution's lawsuit claims that this degree of federal scrutiny radically goes against the law separating church and state. Notre Dame was bitchin' that they didn't know whether their school qualifies for the exemption because they emphasize the employment and service of people of all faiths. Jane Belford, chancellor of the Archdiocese of Washington which joined one suit, basically drew a line in the sand saying "the groups aimed to challenge the government's redefinition of religion". "While this mandate paid lip service to the rights of conscience and religious liberty, it created a definition that was so narrow, even the work of Mother Theresa would not have qualified as religious," Belford said. While the Department of Health and Human Services declined to comment on the litigation the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops did not involve its self in any lawsuit but did praise the individual dioceses, charities and schools for upholding religious liberty. This stance should probably be taken seriously because at least 11 other lawsuits have previously been filed against the contraceptive mandate. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops submitted comments to the Department of Health and Human Services on May 15 warning the administration of today's lawsuits: "Absent prompt congressional attention to this infringement on fundamental civil liberties, we believe the only remaining recourse ... is in the courts." Jennifer Dalven, a lawyer at the American Civil Liberties Union, said the mandate was not new. In fact twenty-eight states have laws requiring insurers to cover birth control to the same extent as other medications. "The lawsuits make it seem like taking a job is the same as joining a church. But organizations that participate in the public sphere are supposed to abide by public rules," Dalven said. Props to Terry Baynes on the original report.

Florida Black Man Denied Stand Your Ground Defense

A Florida judge ruled today that an elderly black man charged in the shooting death of his neighbor couldn't use the now infamous STAND YOUR GROUND defense made so by the shooting death of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman. WTF, yo!! This will be the second time in a week where the controversial law did not provide any protection for the defendant. Today's ruling dealt with the manslaughter case against Trevor Dooley. The defendant willingly admitted to shooting David James in 2010 after a dispute over a teen's right to skateboard on a local basketball court escalated and turned physical. Tampa, Florida news reports that Dooley only shot James, who was defending the teen's right to skateboard because he feared for his own safety after the argument became aggressive and James threatened Dooley. Dooley did have his weapons' permit concealed on his person. A circuit judge apparently said fuck that and ruled that "the evidence suggests that it was not until Dooley "reached for and pulled out his weapon—indicating an intent to escalate from an argument to violence—that Mr. James exerted and used physical force against Defendant." Today's ruling comes only three days after Marissa Alexander, a black woman in Jacksonville, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for three counts of aggravated assault. Alexander's lawyer cited the Stand Your Ground law in her defense, arguing that she fired warning shots to protect herself during a confrontation with her husband. But a judge ruled last year that the law didn't apply because Alexander wasn't in genuine fear for her safety when she fired the gun, according to the Los Angeles Times. Local news station WJXT explains that was because "she left the room, got a gun and returned to confront him." Alexander's sentencing was quickly criticized by Rep. Corrine Brown, a Democratic congresswoman who represents the Jacksonville area. "I have lived here all my life," she said Friday. "And clearly [there] was no justice in this courtroom." Both Dooley and Alexander's respective cases come as the Stand Your Ground law, which allows people to basically kill other people they have a perceived notion mean to do them harm takes center stage in the wake of the February shooting death of Trayvon Martin. George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed the Florida teen, has claimed he did so only in self-defense. He has since been charged with second-degree murder. It still however remains to be seen whether or not this is a case of justice finally catching up to the waning moral compass of the legal system and negating these laws like Stand you Ground or if this is just another case of social & legal inequality.

Throwback Movie of the Week: Best of the Best

In a time where fighting was everything, there was a super group of Mortal Kombat rejects that decided to start their own movie. Darth Vader's voice follows them into the darkness of fighting Koreans. In the tale of honor, respect and interracial relationships there was one memorable name. Eric Roberts who later in his career even became so ballsy as to talk smack to the Nolan's Batman. Liu Kang's long lost cousin also had a starring role in this flick where he catches flashbacks of his brother. Maybe I'm mixing the movies together in my head because all three installments of this flick seem kind of similar, so yea. Make sure you check this out before checking out next week's movie of the week, and it will all make sense then. Stay tuned ninjas.

Saturday Morning Throwy: X-Men (pilot episode)

Good Mornternoon ninjas. This weekend's throwy comes way back from 1989 with the pilot episode of the first ever X-MEN cartoon. Titled the PRYDE OF THE X-MEN the episode depicts Kitty Pryde's aka Shadowcat's arrival at Professor Charles Xavier's school for gifted youngsters and the X-Men's inevitable ongoing conflict with Magneto & the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (they're the bad guys). This version actually aired as apart of the same cartoon block as the original Robocop cartoon that we posted a few weeks ago and was supposed to be a full series but due to financial troubles and corporate shenanigans all we got was the pilot episode. So here it is in all of its singular glory i give you. X-MEN: PRYDE OF THE X-MEN, enjoy.

Cruise Set To Star in Van Helsing Reboot

Back in 2004 Hugh Jackman starred in a big budget actioner by the name of VAN HELSING. The film based on the true exploits of the monster hunter Van Helsing and co-starring Kate Beckinsale was a complete flop. Both critically & publically the movie was derided as being, well...a shitty film. Unfortunately it was plain to see that the studio responsible for Van Helsing was really counting on it doing well so that it could undoubtedly be turned into a lucrative franchise. That time has since gone and like Batman, Spider-Man and Douglas Quaid before him will soon see a reboot. The Hollywood Reporter via Cinema Blend has gotten a whiff of a new reboot in the works over at Universal reporting that uber-writer/producer duo Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have signed on to reboot the monster hunter flick with Mr. Impossible Mission, Tom Cruise himself attached to star & produce as well. If you're a geek like i am you may know Orci and Kurtzman as the scribes behind J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot and Michael Bay's first two Transformers films. They also had a hand in Cruise's own Mission: Impossible III and considerable television credits with Fox's sci-fi romp Fringe. And if you don't know who Tom Cruise is by now then there's nothing i can do for you...and you're also weird. In a joint statement from Universal Pictures Chairman Adam Fogelson and Co-Chairman, Donna Langley said, "Alex and Roberto are extraordinarily talented writers and producers who know the value of a great story in building successful tentpole films. They have been a major part of some of Hollywood’s biggest movies and television shows in recent history, and we’re eager to have them build on that success at Universal." Translation: these two poor bastards are about to make us a shitload of money with their nerd words and geek speak. Our good fortune will hopefully be being subject to the cinematic awesomeness these two will soon wrought. I'm confident Cruise will make a much better Van Helsing than Jackman. So long as he's running and/or having something blow up sending him flying into a horse drawn carriage or some other medieval-style transport his turn as the monster hunter shouldn't be bad at all.

Saturday Morning Throwy: Tiger Sharks (ep 1)

In 1987 TIGERSHARKS were one of a few other cartoons riding the success of the Thundercats (we're looking at you too Silverhawks). Anyways although a rip off (many of the voice actors from Thundercats also lent thier vocals to Tigersharks) the cartoon wasn't as terrible as rip offs go. Team members Dolpho, Octavia, Walro, Lorcra, Angel, Gupp, Bronc & team leader Mako valiantly fought the evil T-ray & Captain Brizzarly for 26 episodes as apart of the cartoon block THE COMIC STRIP before going off the air. Fortunately for us ninjas we have the internet & can relive all the ripped off marine awesomeness. Enjoy episode 1 y'all.
