The Zac Efron Talents

I was re-watching 17 Again the other day and it started to dawn on me that every movie I've seen so far with Zac Efron there's always a scene where he is:
(a) Dances
(b) Plays Basketball
(c) is shirtless
(d) All three at the same time.

This got me wandering if this is part of his film contract. Or perhaps it's one of those things he does because he knows that's the only reason people will see his movies (example: I'll only watch Will Smith movies in which he either says "Aww Hell no" or where he raps the closing credits song). It would make sense to me, I mean he's a pretty good actor and all but clearly basketball, dancing and being shirtless are his talents.

(you might argue being shirtless isn't a talent to those of you who think that I present you exhibit A)



what's depressing to me is that if I were to fill my contract with things that I was talented at it'd be:
(a) Masturbation
(b) going to the bathroom
(c) Making Mac & Cheese
(d) All Three at Once

Coming to DVD in August!

Every Tuesday new DVDs come out; but sometimes the big titles like Kick-Ass over-shadow the smaller films; here's what you should keep your eyes open for this month!

Mayhem Baby

While I was in Comic Con I talked about the video of Tyrese Gibson that was a giant ball of crazy... well the video is online now

6 for $30

The Monday after Comic Con is mostly designed to be spent laid back and relaxed. For that reason Jonathan and I decided to run some errands. I was barely hanging on to life throughout it, but Will K took me to a place called Amoeba Records where I spent $30 on 6 CDs (which will be where I drop my cash when I move here).

If your curious the purchases were The Beatles: Help!, The Dandy Warhols: Dandys Rule, OK?, Modest Mouse: A Long Road..., Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral, No Doubt: Return from Saturn, Sigur Ros: Ágætis byrjun

Today I will be at the Airport for the entire day, so this is the end of my LA trip coverage. I'll be back in a few days with more ridiculous little paragraphs

Poke the Banner, get the Hulk

So comic con is officially over. Sunday was a shorter day, the highlights were filming the Geekscape Episode and the SAM (super action man) special, both which will be up shortly (i'll be short to send links). I do however want to focus on something ELSE.

Saturday afternoon there was a stabbing in Hall H of the convention center where Comic Con takes place. It happened during a panel for the new Resident Evil game. I made a lot of friends out here, one of which is Brian Walton. He's a very friendly guy, but can sometimes have a slightly short fuse. After the stabbing, he got text messages from his friends and family asking if he did the stabbing. We all had a few laughs. I stopped laughing however when I started getting text messages from MY friends and family. Who wanted to know if I got stabbed.

WTFuck friends! Do I really come off as a victim THAT MUCH! I'll tell you this much, the aggressor... (who stabbed the guy in the face (near the eye) with a fucking pen!) was dressed like Harry Potter. I'm willing to beat he was always seen as the victim too! But sometimes bruce banner can't take it and he becomes the hulk! So stop texting me that, it's making me angry... and you wouldnt like me when I'm angry!

Chewbacca will Fuck

I got to sleep on a bed last night. It didn't really change much of the sleep ability. I woke up early and quickly got ready for a very busy day.

The first group of people to visit us was hand down my favorite group. They were a small new web series called "First Edition". It's like the Guild but with comics. I helped them out by handing out flyers and screaming such things as "First Edition: it's not directed by M. Night Shamalyan" and "First Edition: Funnier than Avatar". It seems that my random catchphrase made the writers and crew laugh. Afterwards they asked me if I was planning to move to LA because they want me to be apart of the show, to what extent I will say when it happens, but for now, I'm just going to say this. My planned move to LA has been moved up from August to January (so long as I can afford it).

We had equally awesome signers ranging from Wrestler Paul London, Tommy Wisseu, the animators for Metalacolypse & Venture Brothers, among other guests. The star of the show came when Porn Star Evan Stone & Director of Batman XXX Axel Bruan came and pissed off half the people and made others love us. At our booth we also announced the next project will be the most expensive porno ever made "Star Wars XXX in 3D". According to the Director... "yes, chewbacca will fuck"

After wards we went to dinner with thenerdistkids.com and came back to the hotel room where Jonathan asked me to shave his back... no lie... man, starting to rethink this move to LA.

Mayhem baby it starts from the Baby

Day 2 there's not much to report. I spent the whole day at the booth but I did end up hanging out with the creators and actors of the fan film Batman: City of Scars. They were pretty cool, the movie was extremely well made and the actor who played Joker is apparently up for a role in Toxic Avenger V.

The following group were the writer and artist for hack/slash. They were really nice and funny guys. Definitely check out their comics. They were followed by Ivan Brandon from Image who was a cool but quiet guy & the creators of DangerKatt who was the coolest and nicest dudes ever.

We met a lot of cool people that just came to the booth including two guys who made a series of short films featuring Neil Patrick Harris, Penn & Teller as well as Kirk Cameron. I'll have their website up some time later.

I will vent that I'm doing a pretty decent job saving cash here by spending it wisely, except for one mistake, today I just couldn't deal with wandering the streets of San Diego looking for cheap food, so I paid for it in the convention center. A simple cheeseburger, french fries and soda cost me the same as all my food yesterday combined.

We also got an epic clip from Tyrese. Seriously funniest nonsense you'll ever see of a man promoting the comic Mayhem. As soon as I get the video online, that shits going up.
