Cracked.com columnist David Wong got his start with a cultastic horror comedy novel with its spoiler-mugging title that he delivered on an blog until it went viral and got published. Don Coscarelli of Phantasm and Bubba Ho-Tep fame picked it up and fell in love with it, and got Paul Giamatti so interested that Giamatti even produced it. So if you’re wondering why everyone’s all excited, it’s because of psychedelic time traveling gore-induced profanity-laced alt-universe skipping toilet humor, essentially what would happen if The Dude got into something a little harder and from a different dimension.

So, it’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot. We’ve heard various things about the reboot before, and non of them have really made fans cheer for excitement. I mean, when you change the turtles to aliens and say Michael Bay is producing, can you really blame fans for acting the way they have? I know I don’t! You know a movie is going to be bad when the best news you hear is that the film might not happen. Anyways, Some new news (new news?) has arrived, and I gotta say….the bad news train continues. CHOO CHOO! (That’s right! I made a noise in an article!)
So, it turns out that the film makers have cast one of the most important roles in any Turtles movie: April O’Neil! Now…guess whose playing the famed reporter? Megan Fox….I’m not even kidding you. Megan Fox is going to play April O’Neil…The only time I would have ever said those words was if I was making a Joke. Never thought I would be stating a fact. Honestly, when I first heard this, I was completely speechless. Who actually thought this was a good idea? WHO?!?! Also, have you seen the list of actresses that were consider along side Megan Fox? Go look it up, and I promise you’ll be even more baffled by this news.
Another thing that makes this hard to believe, didn’t Fox and Bay have like a small altercation? Fox called Bay Hilter, which based on past stories seems to be true, and Bay didn’t cast her in Transformers 3. Do you remember this? I don’t know, man. This is just some shocking news, y’all! To know my full thoughts on the matter, click on the picture above! I made it myself! Also, to see more videos from me, go ahead and subscribe to Channel23hahaha on Youtube! Thanks for your time!
The French have really been killing it with cat-based feature length hand-drawn animations recently, with this and A Cat in Paris coming out relatively close together (within a couple of years). The Rabbi’s Cat is more adult though, as a Algerian cat gifted with speech makes his sardonic and explicit opinions about sex, religion, and politics known throughout a pre-WWII picaresque journey that takes him from the multiethnic streets of his home city to the tented camps of extremist Muslims on his and his Rabbi’s search for a hidden Jerusalem.

Hello! This is your fellow inmate of Arkham Asylum, Richard, here! Today…I present to you a one take review of the conclusion to one of the best Joker tale’s I’ve read since The Killing Joke: Death of the Family! Death of the Family was a big Joker event that took place in all the main Bat books from DC Comics, recently. While the event itself has faced some severe criticism from fans and critics alike, the main story line in Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Batman run has received anything but. Especially from me! I’ve been loving the story, but does the conclusion continue the level of genius featured in the previous issues? Well…to find out what I thought, click on the picture above. It will take you directly to my review! Also, if you wanna see more videos, subscribe to Channel23hahaha on Youtube! I’d really appreciate it! Enjoy the video! 🙂
