*Insert witty title about my first post in 2013 here.*

So here we are, it's officially 2013, which means that I can officially start posting lots and lots of new shit; [hopefully more movie reviews.. I haven't done one in a LONG time] especially during this week because school starts up again and I only work on Monday! Believe it or not, I'm actually excited for this semester of school; I got into the courses I wanted more than any others [these courses being "Victimology" & "Abnormal Psychology" . I'm fucking stoked !] and best of all; I have no classes on Fridays! Now enough about me; I'm already psyching myself up to do this post..[no pun intended] so let us begin already! ;

 ———————————————————————————–

 

Point #1- New Evil Dead Remake Trailer [screenshot above];
"Well, holy fuck." those are quite literally the words that fell from my mouth when seeing this new trailer. [which can be found here] It's obviously NSFW because it's the red-band version of the trailer; meaning if there's blood [and there is A LOT of it], they're gonna show it. I was fairly skeptical about this movie at first; being a fan of the original [and being someone who doesn't like remakes too often- some exceptions] However, after seeing the first trailer, I noticed elements from the original that this remake is incorporating into it. [Not like "A Nightmare On Elm Street" 's remake which changed the story and character names..ugh] This being said, I'm still upset at the idea that the character Ash isn't in this version; but maybe this is a good thing- leaving Ash to the original. What also has my attention for this remake, is knowing that unlike most horror movies now a days, this one has ZERO CGI in it. for more screenshots from the trailer, visit BloodyDisgusting's post on the movie here

Point #2- Carrie remake has been pushed to October 2013;

Wait, I thought the teaser poster said it was supposed to be SPRING 2013.. yeah, "supposed to be". If you go through my old posts, I actually mentioned that I was excited for this remake, because the cast seems fantastic. [not to mention, it feels like a good time for a "Carrie" remake and Hollywood would have gotten to it eventually] sigh, and to make matters more depressing- this remake hasn't even got a full trailer out yet.. meaning we have to deal with a minute long teaser trailer and little to no photos about this remake for the next few months.. or at least until an actual trailer comes out; which hopefully will be soon. It better be worth the wait.

Point #3- SPOILER ALERT! The Amazing Spider-Man dies in newest issue [#700];

I know, I know.. I wasn't exactly impressed either. However, Marvel has taken a risk and killed of Spider-Man in not one, but two of their "Marvel-Universes". First, Peter Parker died in Ultimate Spider-Man [which happens to be my favorite retelling of the Web Swinger.] & now they kill him off in Amazing Spider-Man?! What in the actual fuck? Now hold on.. Let's not just jump at the idea that Spidey is dead for good.. I mean, let's think of other famous comic characters who have died multiple times, just to come back in a later issue. Batman died a few times [yet came back] and even Superman.. wait, I don't think he counts. He's a fucking alien. Of course he'll come back by a black version of his suit.. sigh, I don't get it either. Back to the original point, who's to say he died for good? Although Miles Morales is the new Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter Parker still showed up [although earlier claimed dead] in an issue to help him defeat a few baddies.. What do you think? Is Spider-Man really dead, or is Marvel trying to kill us all with feelings of sorrow?

As mentioned before, this is the new format of how the blog posts will be laid out, because I find it easier, and a little bit nicer looking. [gotta have a nice formatted blog, am I right?] As mentioned above, I will be be back to school on Monday, [and it's the only day this week I work..weird] so you can expect multiple posts from me through out the week; feel free to follow me on Twitter here , or on Tumblr here . You can also 'like' the Facebook fan page for this blog here, which would be awesome ! I hope everyone has an awesome rest of the weekend, & I'll talk to you all through out the coming weeks ! CHEERS.

"That is excellent news indeed, Sir.. & news you say?"

If you're a fan over at the Facebook page [found here], I posted a small note saying that there is good news headed to the way of the readers of Firework Eyes & Haunted Hearts. [even if it does seem like it would be more of a positive for me..]  Usually, I tend to apologize greatly for not posting a lot during a month [or as it seems, every month- sigh] due to school, and work. However, I got my schedule for school next semester yesterday, and I came across something fantastic [at least, I think it is]; seems that this semester [from January 7th to April 28 2013] I actually have Fridays and Mondays off ! I find this extremely helpful because then I get a 4 day weekend- therefore, giving me more time to Blog !

Thanks Kip, you're an alright kid.

  Seriously though, I think this is fantastic, because I'm going to make up for all the lost days I could have blogged and post dozens upon dozens new posts; especially since now I have the time for it ! Also, I find it extremely helpful because then I can actually create and posts the VLOGs I kept telling myself that I was gonna make for a YouTube channel I was planning previously.. In other news, let us get into the news that I'm really here to post about; nerd & horror news !

———————————————————————————–   

• POINT #1- Jumanji is getting a remake;I'm sure you all remember this movie: Jumanji was about a young boy who gets sucked into a board game for a whole bunch of years, only to be finally freed when two new kids move into his old house [that he grew up in] and pick up where he left off years later..  I don't know if I'm okay with a remake of this; although I don't think I'd know for sure unless I were to rewatch it at some point soon to know for sure. [perhaps a movie review from my inner child is in order?] It's pretty well the movie of my childhood so I'm kind of skeptical about this one[even if it did terrify me... Points for being a '90s kid !] Hollywood did remake A Nightmare On Elm Street..ugh.

• POINT #2- Kick-Ass 2 has an official plot synopsis that has been revealed- according to my friends over at GeekTyrant, Kick-Ass 2, the sequel to the amazing first film [seriously, if you haven't seen it; and you like superheroes..see it.] has finally got a synopsis that has been posted online: & I'm gonna share it here for you;
  
  "Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010's irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass' (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.." [you can read more about it here]
   ———————————————————————————–
  POINT #3-  As a horror fan, I figure the last point I'll share is from a show I only recently got into: American Horror Story. [you can give me trouble now or later for taking so long to FINALLY watch season1]  If you've seen the show, you'll know that it is creepy, twisted and very fucked up. [which makes me wonder about Ryan Murphy, who created the show; considering he also created Glee?] Either way, it's fantastic. Now, one of the main characters in season1 [and even season2] is played [amazingly might I add] by Jessica Lange. Who completely changes characters from season 1 to 2. In season2 however, she plays a Nun [as seen below] and she does it so well, it's terrifying. 
  
  ———————————————————————————–
  Now, the point I'm getting to. Some viewers, like myself, feel that she's the driving force being American Horror Story; by this I mean, she's so good at playing her character- I can't imagine the show without her. With season2 just wrapping up [five episodes to go til the finale], fans are going nuts for another season; however Jessica Lange claims that contrary to what people are saying.. she might not be in season3. It hasn't been confirmed but it's possible..

   So there you have it; a HUGE update- both personal stuff and geek/horror news- & the best news of all.. lots of posts coming up in the new year ! [especially since I have the time.] So keep an eye out for movie reviews, rants, and just general knowledge in the world of geekery and horror. Til then, Cheers.
