KAIDERMAN’S WEB (06/18/12)

by

The basic idea behind this post is that I search the World Wide Web so you don’t have to. Here’s some cool stuff to chew on:

We were all a little excited a few weeks back to hear the Zombie Apocalypse may have started in Florida. Who knew how high Bath Salts could get you? And my Mom was worried about me huffing model glue. When the apocalypse does come, make sure you have this handy Map of the Dead so you know where to find important resources and places to avoid.

Look, I seriously doubt the end is nigh so you’ll probably still be able to use those Comic-Con tickets you had fight for. While there, if you’re looking for something else to do, why not head across the street to Petco Park (home of the San Diego Padres) and get yourself prepared for the inevitable downfall of this great country to hordes of roaming Zombies. The Walking Dead Escape is, admittedly overpriced but also, a chance for you to run from countless flesh eaters… or maybe see what it’s like to be one.

You can also dress the part with these sexy Zombie-themed heels from Iron Fist.

After Zombies, I can’t help of think of my second favorite thing: sex! I know the date on this one is a little old. I’ve been sitting on it for awhile. Still, it’s too awesome not to share. If you’re a woman looking to get your man the perfect geek gift, Socially Stealth may have the answer. These haven’t dropped yet but head over to to Fashionably Geek to read a bit more.

Did you see Prometheus? Did you think it was awesome too? And did you find yourself leaving the film with twice as many questions as you had going in? Me too. I can’t say this article will answer them all, or any for that matter, but it does have a nice blow by blow of some of the mythology used in the film and some even neater theories on, let’s say, the secret of the ooze.

Can’t do one of these or mention Sci-Fi without mentioning Star Wars. This Death Star fire pit had the web going crazy a couple weeks back. Unfortunately, it turned out to be some pretty impressive photoshopping. Still, I had to throw up a pic for anyone that hadn’t caught a glimpse. A Fanboy can dream, can’t he?

These things made a splash awhile back when they showed up as a hoax on the nightly news. I thought they were awesome but I had no idea you could buy one. I NEED an RC Superhero.

Want to feel really bad about how hard you work for your money? Check out this video that shows how easy it was for Brando to make his ridiculous paycheck for the original Superman film.

Speaking of working hard for her money, support fellow LAMB member Alex (aka: Film Forager) who splits her blogging time with making and selling kick ass, movie themed artwork like this. She likes to call it her Guilty Cubicle Art.

  • I just saw that Death Star fire pit the other day and threatened my niece that it was what I was getting her for her HS graduation. She likes Star Wars enough, but I doubt she’d want to drag that thing all the way to college.

  • The problem with that Prometheus article: allegory and motifs do not equate or make up for bad plotting and script logic, and much of what’s in the interpretation doesn’t actually have any salience speaking to what’s actually in the film. Stories are meant to be self-contained; they should be understandable on their own merits. Not that I don’t admire what the writer has done– on the contrary, it’s very smart– but symbolic meaning doesn’t excuse or erase the lack of surface and internal logic the movie suffers from.

    And I’m someone who really liked the movie, too. I just think there’s only so much a person can do to excuse a movie’s weaknesses.

    I really, really want a Death Star fire pit for my own. I don’t know that I need a zombie map because I have my own routes and plans plotted out when that happens.

    if that happens, I mean.

    • I like the film alot (!!!) and I think the story is severely flawed. Check out the recent Film Yarn podcast or upcoming MILFcast to hear more on that.

      Personally, I just like the article cuz he did some research and had some valid insights. I think alot of that stuff was obvious but really liked a couple things like his theories of the goo. I guess, I just like that he brought more to the table than most people taking place in the conversation.

  • Aw thanks for the plug!

    That Death Star firepit is pretty damn awesome, I’m bummed it’s just photoshop. And I’ve seen those zombie heels around online- I’d totally go for them if I was better at wearing stilettos!

  • Loved/angered by the Brando video.
