One of the best Lego Movie jokes on a shirt
I know I’m behind on my Brushes week promise but I have a really good excuse. Meanwhile, enjoy a new shirt acquisition I made at WizWorld!
Danny Trejo
Danny Trejo has been the designated badass in numerous movies for the last 20 years, especially when Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino needed him. They must do something special with the camera because as the picture above shows…I’m a couple … Continue reading
Sam Jones, my favorite Flash Gordon!
Sam Jones is best known for being Flash Gordon in the 1980 movie of the same name. He’s my favorite person to play the role because the Buster Crabbe is silly and the 2007 TV show was just plain awful. … Continue reading
Bugs Bunny meets The Doctor
Got it just in time for WizWorld. I received a lot of positive inquiries about the shirt too.
Lee Majors! The kickoff to Brushes week!
Another WizWorld Austin has come and gone! This year’s was great too. It finally had a gauntlet of people I wanted to see, meet, have photos with and get autographs of. Then comes the buying of crap but on the … Continue reading

Happy 150th birthday HG Wells
The guy who gave us four major stories Hollywood keeps remaking via film and TV was born on this day. Many authors are often known for like one, maybe two major novels with the public at large, unless it’s Stephen … Continue reading
Scientia est bona
Another addition to my collection of fake school shirts. I’m not nuts about Animal House. There’s some pretty funny moments and the sitcom was surprisingly good but I’ve always found the movie to be more Boomer navel gazing over a past … Continue reading
Ghostbusters (2016) not even worth renting
Let me get this out of the way…I never liked the original Ghostbusters neither. It was a huge letdown from the team that gave the world funnier stuff such as Stripes, Caddyshack, Meatballs, Animal House and to a lesser extent The Blues Brothers. I laughed … Continue reading
RIP Martin C Croker
He provided the voices of Zorak and Moltar for Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Doctor Weird who kicked off numerous Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes. The banter he provided to make Space Ghost even more ridiculous was a huge factor in getting CN to … Continue reading
The Amazing World of Gumball is an understatement
One little luxury I’ve allowed myself during this stint of housesitting besides spoiling a couple cats has been binge watching this gem on Cartoon Network. Since Adventure Time and Regular Show are on hiatus (sadly, the latter will be starting its … Continue reading
Image Comics’ Fantasy offerings
Last month I posted a second plug for Image’s Sci-Fi offerings. With WizWorld merely days away (I have a ticket to meet Matt Smith, Karen Gillan bailed), why not cover the realm of Fantasy. Here Image is doing pretty well. OK, … Continue reading
Happy fifth birthday Alex!
Today is your day! Enjoy it and remember you’re king for a day but don’t let it go to your head little guy. Alex is the son of my Dallas-based friend Ami and the late Ben Rasberry. He’s a cool … Continue reading
Blazing Saddles memorial show
I’ve seen this movie several dozen times but never on the big screen. My parents did and I vaguely recall that day, we (my brother and me) were ditched at Grandma’s house for the afternoon. Alamo’s copy had been played … Continue reading
