a [more] personal post: by Warren.

 

[note: my place of work doesn't ENTIRELY look like this.]

So before I begin this post, I'd like to apologize for my possible terrible writing as I've been awake since 2:45am because of a bunch of calls for work, and I'm exhausted.. [I was on call last night] For those that are unaware, [which would be most of you since I don't exactly shout my job from mountains] I work at a mortuary [I have for the past 6 months] full time now, where I pick up deceased from the place of death [including people's homes] and bring them to the different funeral homes around the city. It goes without saying, that this means that I DO see dead cadavers almost [if not] every day I'm at work. I'm not about to go into too much detail, not only since it's a little graphic at times; but also because I'm under contract saying I won't tell people anything I see/do. [pretty obvious] Moving on from a fairly grim [no pun intended] topic I have decided to make this a somewhat update post! [I know; blaahhh, I hate doing these too..] For starters, I figured I'd mention that I will still post here, and hopefully still frequently- it just depends if work allows. [my past few shifts have included being on call which means I could be called at any time of the night- and I don't want to start typing and then have to run off and be gone for 2 hours.. again.]

In this part of the update, I am gonna mention yet another reason I'm excited for May. as mentioned in my 100th post , I mentioned that the King himself, Bruce Campbell was coming to Ottawa for Comic-Con and I am super stoked. To make things almost 100000% [note: I just pushed zero a bunch of times, not an actual percentage] better, we've been updated with the news of having none other than Robert Englund, as in THE ORIGINAL FREDDY KRUEGER join the cast of people coming this year! This means only one thing; I NEED to book of work, and soon too! 'WELCOME TO PRIME TIME, BITCH!'

[Hero From The Sky; Ashley Williams]

Speaking of Bruce Campbell, I went ahead and made an impulse purchase last week [not really a surprise actually..] and bought my newest prized possession: The Hero From The Sky! As seen above, he's an exclusive from Comic-Con in San Diego, but with my [new] friend- Amazon - I bought him and I'm sure when I set him up [I'll have a picture on Instagram, follow me here: warrenisweird] , he'll look beautiful. The link to the figure on Amazon can be found here .

 [a new favorite website..seriously.]

The last thing I'll leave this 'update' on is that I will most likely not be doing movie reviews on here anymore, it takes up an entire post, and as noticed, I've been trying to fit 3 or more things into each post. This is where Letterboxd comes into play. Letterboxd is a website dedicated to making a film diary [or two] and writing reviews on each movie. It's basically my new favorite thing which I've been using frequently. The best part of it, is that you can like people's reviews, post your top 5 favorite films and even add movies to a watchlist. You can even keep track of the films you've been watching lately [which is the 'diary' I mentioned above]. You can follow me on Letterboxdl; this is my profile !

DID I MENTION IT'S 2014 NOW? [first post of 2014]

[hey look - it's me on Christmas. ~ an actual nice photo of me.]

First off, I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and got a bunch of kick-ass stuff! However, now with Christmas finally over, [and finally me finally getting a day - or in this case weekend - off work; I've been working nearly every day since December 26th -_-] I can get back to what I enjoy doing most: writing about crap that most people either already know, or don't have time to look into! However, this is why I write here, so let's move on from me at work/Christmas, and get down to it!

• Wait, it's HIM getting married?!

  

If you look carefully enough at the photo abovee, it looks like everyone has shown up to the wedding; from Wolverine, to Captain America! Even the fucking She-Hulk is there, with Nightcrawler as the priest?? But who's wedding is this? Is the picture too small? Sorry, let me zoom in on the blushing groom and his wife- that should help, right? [below]

 

Yep. The Merc With The Mouth is getting married! [do I see Cable as the best man? haha oh, Marvel.] But to whom is the question [as you can see, she's being left a secret for now..]; any guesses? I haven't read enough recent Deadpool to hazard any guesses. [let me know in the comments?] Marvel even gave us an 'invitation' , which is both weird and cool. I take that back - it's too badass NOT to share [below]

•   I'm actually willing to go see The Marked Ones?

In my family, it's no secret that I am the horror fan of the bunch; but if there's one horror series that I'm not that a huge fan of: it's Paranormal Activity. Now before you shoot me for saying that, I can't just say this without mentioning that I actually really enjoyed the first film- it was shot well, felt real, and got a bunch of people scared of living in their own home.. which is where [in my opinion] they should have stopped. They had a good thing going for them, and they've dragged it out to a whopping 4 sequels [including 'The Marked Ones' which is a side story?] ! BUT, I've heard loads of good things about The Marked Ones, and based on trailers- it actually looks half decent. This is why I've decided that I'm going to bite my tongue until I've seen the film; which I'm doing sometime soon. Whether or not it's worthwhile, is to be determined.

 

[hey, isn't that the Deathly Hallows symbol?]

•  [and for the sad news of the week] James Avery passes away at 68 years. [RIP]

 

As a '90s kid, I feel like I grew up with some fucking cool shows: I watched shows like Family Matters, Full House, The X-Files, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, TMNT [animated series], and most importantly; The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. Watching these shows often times made me happy to know that people could write such an awesome script and create such loving characters. Fresh Prince was no different. I would always laugh when Uncle Phil [played by the wonderful James Avery] would give Will Smith trouble for sneaking a girl into his room, or anything/everything ridiculous that only Will could do. According to sources close to the actor, he had recently gone through open heart surgery - and apparently things took a turn for the worse. To make this post more upsetting, Alfonso Ribeiro- who played Carleton Banks on the show posted the following post to his Facebook [below]

 

 As well as playing Uncle Phil, James Avery also did the voice work for Shredder and Splinter in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon! [the one I used to watch too.. ouch /:] So long Uncle Phil, RIP.
