I'm a slave for you.

Recently I listened to the audio book version of the Carrie Fisher autobiography "Wishful Drinking" and it was an insightful look into the life of Hollywood royalty. I enjoyed the book immensely and it reminded me of how much I loved Carrie Fisher in the Star Wars films. Of course like any nerd my favorite memory is of her is in the "Slave Leia" outfit from "Return of the Jedi". I love it that at any convention there is always an army of hot nerd chicks dressed in that costume.

Life on Mars

I always thought that the film noir private eye genre would work perfectly well in a high school setting. The Joseph Gordon Levitt film "Brick" fell short for a number of reasons. But I was pleasantly surprised how good the teen show "Veronica Mars" did with the premise. The first season was almost flawless. Unfortunately season two didn't have the same magic and by season three even the beauty of star Kristen Bell couldn't save that train wreck. I was sad to hear that the planned fourth season that would have dealt with Veronica in the FBI never got made, that might have revived the show. And due to the failure of "Serenity" at the box office I don't think there will be a film continuation any time soon. Oh well, at least Kristen Bell is still a great piece of eye candy.

Legacy

Heard Disney might make Tron 3 for a 2013 release. I sure hope so. Tron 2 had it's problems but I loved it anyway and they set up so much great stuff for a third I hope it gets made but I heard Disney wasn't happy with the profit margin on 2. Only in Hollywood can something that made hundreds of millions of dollars not be deemed a success. Anyway if Tron 3 does get made I hope they bring back Cindy Morgan who played Yori in the original, she was great.

full House

As previously stated I am a huge fan of the television show "House". I used to openly mock it but now I love it to death. One of my favorite characters on the show is Dr. Lisa Cuddy played by Lisa Edelstein, she's great, a perfect match for Hugh Laurie. Plus it was always a bonus to see what new tiny skirt they would try to cram her into each week. I heard she left the show, this makes me sad but I cannot imagine the stress that goes into making a show like that for so many years.

It's Not A Fashion Statement,

I will never be able to grow a big huge mustache so I wanted to draw a picture of myself with one.

Insane in the Posehn

I was listening to some Brian Posehn stand up today and it stuck with me so I thought I would draw him. I think I first noticed him on Mr. Show and he is of course part of the very funny Comedians of Comedy, but I think my favorite thing he ever did was the voice of the brother in the surfing penguin movie "Surf's Up". Yeah I know it's a kids movie, but I don't care, love it anyway. In any case, he is very funny, check him out.

War Zone

Tried to watch the 2008 film Punisher: War Zone tonight. Tried and failed. As a Punisher fan I was hoping for finally a decent Punisher movie, but this one was no better than the other two. It's the story of a vigilante that kills bad guys, seriously, how hard is this? Guess I can only hope the next reboot will finally due the character some justice. I always thought that Henry Rollins would make a good Punisher so I decided to sketch that.
