Sillof's Workshop

I stumbled upon this site earlier, and figured I should share.  Sillof makes his own action figures, but with his own twist.  He takes existing characters and puts his own spin while creating a new look.  And let me tell you, the figures look professional.  They are certainly of the highest quality, and Sillof is talented for sure.  His figures range from comic book superheroes to movie characters to TV characters.  His Star Wars lines are his most popular, as he re-imagines them in different eras (WWII, Steampunk, Samurai, etc).  Check out the sample below, but be sure to visit his site, Sillof's Workshop.

You're Getting Old

NEW YORK, June 6, 2011 - All the kids are listening to Tween wave in an all-new episode of "South Park" titled "Youre Getting Old," premiering on Wednesday, June 8 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central.

After Stan celebrates his 10th birthday, he begins to see everything differently. The other boys think he's become a major buzzkill and start to avoid hanging out with him. When Stan and Kyle have a major blow up, the very fabric of South Park begins to unravel.


This will be the last new episode of South Park until sometime in October probably, here's hoping it's a good one!

Tom DeLonge on the new Blink 182 album...

"Tom here.... Just wanted to say that we are at about 8 weeks from turning in our first album in quite a few years. It is really good. A bit of old, mixed with a bit new...and a bit epic. And, I also have a lyric about trying to get hard. We are all getting along better than ever, and working our dicks off to create a new chapter. Stay tuned for some exciting shit"

Bruce Almighty and Dumb and Dumber sequels?

No, I'm not talking about the spinoff Evan Almighty or the prequel Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd.  I'm talking about actual sequels to Bruce Almighty and Dumb and Dumber starring Jim Carrey himself.  From ComingSoon.net:

"We're talking about maybe returning to some old characters that everyone has been asking about," Carrey teased when asked what he might follow [Mr. Popper's] Penguins with, "...There's 'Bruce Almighty' and we're talking about maybe another 'Dumb and Dumber.'"
 Will the sequels be called Bruce Almighty-er and Dumb and Dumberer-er?  Only time will tell.

So Dr. Kavorkian died...

...apparently he didn't want to die by assisted suicide.  He passed away at age 83 due to kidney and heart problems and ultimately a pulmonary embolism.  Some say he helped people, others say he was a monster; either way he served some time in prison for 2nd degree murder.  However, no one can deny he was very creepy looking.

The season 3 DVD of Breaking Bad comes out in a week (June 7th), which will help make the time go by faster until the season 4 premiere on July 17th.  Until then, however, pass the time with this interview with Bryan Cranston (Walt).  He discusses season 4 of the show, specifically the tension between Walt and Gus.

Breaking Bad Season 4 Trailer

If it seems like forever since the latest episode of Breaking Bad aired, it's because it's been almost a year since season 3 ended.  Season 4 will finally see the light of day on July 17th on AMC .  I can't wait; Breaking Bad has been one of the top, if not the best, shows over the past few years.  Watch the trailer below.

George Lucas on the Star Wars TV show

If you weren't already aware, there is supposed to eventually be a live-action Star Wars TV show.  It's set in the time between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, which opens it up for some Jedi killing.  Apparently 50 hours of the show have been written by Lucas, but its too expensive to produce right now.  He hopes to develop new CGI technology that would allow not only the live-action series but any TV show or movie to be made for far less money.  He's revolutionized the movie making process before, so I have confidence he can do it again (and we can get another dose of Star Wars).
