As if this day can’t get any better, what with the big announcement about Metropolis and all, we now hear that our favorite comic book ever, The Goon by Eric Powell, has been optioned to be made into a move by none other that director David Fincher (Zodiac and Fight Club)! And it gets better. Academy-Award nominated Blur Studio will be developing the film!

If you are unfamiliar with The Goon, a masterpiece of zombies and slapstick Lovecraftian humor set in some old-timey world, I highly suggest you walk into your local comicbook store and demand it. You’ll thank us for it.

Move over Ash, I have a new chainsaw wielding, zombie killing hero - CHAINSAW MAID!

Chainsaw Maid is the bloody claymation short about a maid, a chainsaw and zombies. What more do you really need to know? The film was created by Japanese amateur animator takena, who has a whole line of, as he calls it, “brutal clay animation!” you should check out.

Somehow I think Ray Harryhausen is giggling in the shadows.

The teaser for Joss Whedon’s upcoming on-line series Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog looks like it’ll be nerdtastic, which is not really a big surprise.

Whedon says -

“It’s the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to.”

Sounds a little autobiographical if you ask me.

Staring Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, Felicia Day as Penny, the show will consist of three ten-minute episodes.

Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs Out Today!

Futurama: Beast With A Billion Backs Today is the day my fellow Futurama fans. Today is the release of the second Futurama film - The Beast With A Billion Backs hits the shelves today.

Described as a “depraved, yet sensuous” adventure, writer and producer David X. Cohen refers to it as “disturbing.” He goes on to say “There is certainly more of an adult theme in this film than the average Futurama episode.” Well with quotes like “These aren’t tentacles, they’re gentacles!” I think that’s pretty obvious.

So what’s the movie about and what tasty bits are included in the DVD you may ask coffin-stuffer? Well let me tell you…

In Futurama’s latest and most tentacle-packed epic, space itself rips open, revealing a gateway to another universe. But what lies beyond? Horror? Love? Or maybe both, if it happens to contain a repulsive, planet-sized monster with romantic intentions! Nothing less than the fate of human and robot-kind is at stake as the Futurama crew takes on The Beast with a Billion Backs.

The Beast With A Billion Backs will be presented in widescreen format with English Dolby Surround 5.1, along with French and Spanish subtitles. Bonus features include:

-Commentary By Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, Billy West, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Michael Rowe, Claudia Katz, Peter Avanzino and Lee Supercinski
-Futurama The Lost Adventure - a long-lost full-length adventure produced for the video game with audio commentary by Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, Billy West, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Michael Rowe, J. Stewart Burns and Lee Supercinski
-Meet Yivo! Featurette with David Cross
-A Brief History Of Deathball Featurette
-Blooperama: The Futurama Cast At
-3D Models With Animator Discussion
-Storyboard Animatic: The Beast With A Billion Backs, Part One
-A Sneak Peek at the Next Futurama Epic! -Deleted Scenes/Storyboards: Original Opening, Fry and Colleen Meeting, St. Asimov Parade, Zapp and Scientists, Amy Fry and Leela, Scruffy the Janitor
-Futurama: Bender’s Game - a sneak peek at the next Futurama epic!

That should keep you busy.

Goodbye to a hero that preached commonsense to many generations.

“My feeling is that as long as you’re going to die, you should go out with a bang,” Carlin wrote in his best-selling book, Napalm and Silly Putty. “I say go out big, folks; it’s your last chance to make a statement. Before you go, give ‘em a show.”

It’s Slime Puppy!

What’s fun for the whole family? Why it’s the puppy that is filled with slime - “Biri Biri Kaze Hiki Wanko,” (”shocking sick puppy”), the dog filled with snot and vomit, that’s what!

This fun-filled little game is being released by Bandai subsidiary Mega House which will commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of toy slime… with a toy pooch that’s vomiting. Ain’t it just keen?

The name of the game is similar to Milton Bradley’s Operation, but instead of non-gore-filled inner-body parts you have to deal with green slime:

“the toy puppy, who has caught a cold, drools a concoction of slime and plastic germs. Players must extract these germs using the tweezers without letting the metal part touch the slime, an act which produces a buzzing shock. The player who collects the most germs wins. Play continues by loading the mess into a compartment in the dog’s head.”

Someone out there order us up one stat!

According to Yisrayl “Buffalo Bill” Hawkins, cult leader and founder of the House of Yahweh, today will be the end of the world. How will it all end today you may ask? Why an apocalyptic nuclear war obviously.

After the hear-wave we’ve just had here on the East Cost, that would be a cooling relief.

Necrocard

For all you zombie-loving freaks out there… and I do mean “love” in the biblical sence… and I know there’s a lot of you… here’s your dream come true… the Necrocard.

Necrocard

A fine gent named Stewart Home decided to create these cards as a kind of lark, and then simply hand them out to anyone to see what their reaction would be. Seems like a lot of people dig the Necrocard. One guy even said jokingly ‘I fancy being buggered on the way to having my kidneys whipped out.’

But there will always be those who don;t have any sence of humor, like one lady who seemed convinced that Home was somehow involved in an insidious plan in luring her to her demise.

In any case ZMP thinks Home has come up with one of the best party favors ever, or at the very least open the doors to Man-Zombie love for future generations.
