Alternative Christmas Update: Better Off Dead

Fri ,11/12/2009
That's not a salad she's making.  That's bacon.  Yeah, I know.  It IS a crime to do that to bacon.

That's not a salad she's making. That's bacon. Yeah, I know. It IS a crime to do that to bacon.

I was thinking that perhaps I left something off my list of Alternative Christmas Movies, and it hit me!  The Savage Steve Holland opus Better Off Dead!  I loved this movie as a kid, and I still love it!  The path of thinking that led me here?  What the hell ever happened to Savage Steve Holland?  Oh…and John Cusack should make another film with him.  Better Off Dead gets its props after the jump.

Santa Claus vs. Chuck Norris

That's who's watching me when I'm sleeping or awake?  Holy shit!  (Picture from Perzo at Deviantart)

Why not Jolly Old St. Nick?  I don’t know about you, but he brought me an awful lot of geek presents in my formative years, pretty much guaranteeing the nerd I would grow into.  Thanks, Santa!  Since Chuck Norris is bent on ridding the world of geeks, why not pit him against someone who seemingly creates them from childhood?  Santa Claus vs. Chuck Norris after the jump.

HA!  You’ve probably read that title, and thought “Great!  A list about how ex-girlifriends are annoying!”  WRONG!  This particular list was written by one of my ex-girlfriends, Niki.  My simple way of annoying her here in this list intro is by referring to her as both the author and “That Girl I Used To Nail”.   Somehow, if she’s writing this for me, I don’t think she’ll find that much umbrage in the statement.  Also, if you’re looking at the lovely rack to the right of my finely crafted introduction, you will have discovered at least two of her nicest assets.  Well, not only is the body beautifully bountiful, but the brain bubbling inside is brilliant, as this list will show.  So, written by @survivingniki (That’s the Twitter handle), presented by me, ManWithPez (You’re at my site…or the Twilight Zone, one or the other) here’s Niki’s Ten New Ways to Annoy People (Which is already bullshit, because there’s 11, but since I lost almost every argument we had when we were together ten years ago, who’s counting.)

Hot Nerd Mancrush #9: Robert Downey Jr.

You can see the haunted past...oh wait, no you can't!  Smug bastard.

You can see the haunted past...oh wait, no you can't! Smug bastard.

I have thought long at hard about this, but, try as I might, I could not come up with a Mancrush for today’s entry.  So, how about a man of Iron?  Why not Robert Downey Jr?  He’s been in enough nerdbait, and, if he hasn’t, he’s a good enough actor to justify it from a movie nerd’s point of view.  Hot Nerd Mancrush Robert Downey Jr. starts now.

The Top Ten Alternative Christmas Films

I guess Santas don't get much more alternative than this.

I guess Santas don't get much more alternative than this.

Sure, there are plenty of Christmas movies out there, and for the most part…well, they suck!  There’s a scant handful that are worth a damn, and every year about this time they’re rammed down our throat until we want to barf eggnog.  And not even good eggnog, but the Wal Mart special eggnog.  So, here’s a list of ten of my favorite films that happen to take place around Christmas, but aren’t inherently Christmas movies.

SAMCRO: Why You Should Be Watching Sons of Anarchy

Tue ,08/12/2009
All the reason I'd ever need to watch this show, right there.

All the reason I'd ever need to watch this show, right there.

I avoided Sons of Anarchy for some time, even though it was recommended to me a couple of times, mostly by my mother.  Well, folks, Momma was right again!  I simply couldn’t get my head around a serious show based on a motorcycle club.  Comedy based on such a thing?  No problem.  Drama?  No way!  However, had someone told me that I would be watching some decent acting, I’d have thought twice.  What I needed to be told, however, was about the heavy Shakespearian influence this show is steeped in.  Now, there…that would have been a point of interest for me.  Harley Dynas and Hamlet?  Sign me up!

Hot Nerd Crush #9: Amy Adams

So damn hot, my monitor just melted!

So damn hot, my monitor just melted!

Amy Adams is so hot, she makes me want to bite somebody!  And, you’ve probably read what I’ve had to say on the subject of beautiful women that are funny, right?  How it makes them that much more attractive?  You didn’t read that?  What the hell are you doing on my site if you’re not going to do your homework?  We’ll table that for now, okay?  Hot Nerd Crush Amy Adams begins after the jump.

A Word on Cloning (Spider-Men, That Is.)

Oh, like you wouldn't make out with yourself?

Oh, like you wouldn't make out with yourself?

Nerds the world over have united on one thing in recent years.  That the retcon pieceashit Brand New Day in Spider-Man over at Marvel Comics is the worst thing to happen since the Clone Saga.  Admittedly, I haven’t read much of Brand New Day.  Why?  Because it shits all over one of the best relationships in comics.  But, my real problem with the above statement is (sigh, I kinda hate to admit this) I LIKED the Clone Saga.  Find out why after the jump.

Bender Bomb

Suck it, meatsacks!  No, really...it's 3AM, I don't want to go home lonely!

How often do you see a robot as “That Guy” in a photo?  Here, Bender from Futurama photobombs two lovely women at what appears to be a bar.  Perhaps he just didn’t want to be outdone by that meatsack Daniel Craig.

Well, there's a sweet thang right there!  Oh, and a candycane.

Well, there's a sweet thang right there! Oh, and a candycane.

Hey, it’s my site, and I’ll wish happy birthday to whomever I want!  It just happens that this dork girl is my fiance, so it isn’t that hard.  Happy 33rd, darlin’.  Love ya…don’t care who knows.  You big dork.
