Schlock and awe movie time!

Well when I think LARP I see this!

I vaguely remember a few years ago a film called Knights of Badassdom was being touted during Comicon coverage. Well then nothing came of it. Well low and behold what do I see on the Netflix, but this very movie. Well since it seemed to not get a theatrical it must have had a giant hiccup somewhere or just be bad.

I knew straight away I had to watch this!

Alright. Here we go!

Knights of Badassdom follows three buddies: Joe, Eric and Hung. Now they all live together and we get that they used to play D&D together. Now one guy moved on but the other two delved deeper and are now LARP’ers (for the few people outside the nerd world that is Live Action Role Playing where you act out role playing games instead of just playing them on the table).  We see Joe get dumped and he is kidnapped by the other two and taken to some big LARP event. There he is coerced into playing along. Why? Well he sees a girl named Gwen and wants to get him some of that. Along the way Eric tries to level up his character by doing a ritual spell. However he just happens to be using a creepy old book he won on Ebay, that low an behold does what? Summons an actual demon. It gets better, see the demon takes the form of Joe’s previous girlfriend. Now the LARP’ers have to face down a creature from beyond with nothing but foam swords.

This was anything  but bad ass. It was a damn horrible mess!

"His name is Dalton."

Alright the best part about having a lady friend that lies to play with toys, is that I have to paint them as well.

 

Before X-mas she gave me a list of models she wanted to increase her Trollblood forces. Was it wrong to not get two guys that I don’t want to ever face on the tabletop? I think no, but I’m probably in the wrong.

 

He is no Patrick Swayze

I did grab a Troll Bouncer light warbeast and got it finished before the holiday.

NFL and NCAA play-offs!



The NFL has hit the play-offs and I am in no way excited. Why? Well Denver has limped their way to a #2 seed. I sum up the second half of their season with a bit from Lewis Black.

 

“They aren’t shitty, shitty, shitty! They’re stinky, farty, smelly!”

 

That is how Denver has been playing as of late. Maybe a bye week will get them on the right path?

 

Speaking of the right path that is where New England, Dallas, Seattle and Green Bay have been as of late. Hoo-flipin’-ray! The only thing worse than Denver getting to and losing a Superbowl would be for Tom “Look deep into my dreamy eyes.” Brady to win another championship. Worse would be for that shit-kickin’ hick Jerry Joes to win something. Worse still would be having to watch Pete Carroll in the Super Bowl again, or any game again, on the sidelines with his antics, or have to listen to the whole 12^th man beast mode crap again. Man I hate that guy! Even worse is for the meat head Packer fans to have something to celebrate. I can only dream for Denver to win it all or lose before they have to face New England on the road. That is where I am at this post season, and it is not a super fun place.

 

Speaking of playoffs, the NCAA had theirs yesterday. Holy crap did I not watch the games and should have! I couldn’t watch another game where Florida State won when they should have been beat. Plus I figured Alabama would bend Ohio State over for proper pants down spanking. Instead I introduced my spec ail lady friend to the Harry Potter world of films. Yeah this guy gave up football for wizards. Damn I’m a nerd!

2015: The dawn of a new year

Good luck this year everyone!
Make it count!

Schlock and awe movie time. The last of 2014.

Brothers and sisters it is a doozy! 

Phantasm II is a favorite of mine. It makes little to no sense, but it a damn fun time to watch. However, I have never seen the original Phantasm and there is no better time than now to give it a viewing. If anything it should help Phantasm II make more sense. Right?

 

Post Christmas report

Another X-mas is gone and I have more stuff. First My dad built this. What is this? Well it is a portable paint station.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hope they are happy for everyone....

or Darkseid will be boom tubing a flock of parademons to you this holiday season!
