TerrifiCon 2019 Cosplay Music Video!

I think this is my sixth year going to TerrifiCon? And it's definitely one of my favorite conventions to go to. It's not the hectic madhouse that San Diego & New York Comic Con can be. It's more of an organized chaos atmosphere! Anyway, here are some of the awesome cosplays I saw!

3D Printed Justice League Batarang

I apparently really like batarangs. But who doesn't?!? I made one out of foam last year and I 3D printed one about a month ago. Now, after seeing Justice League, I felt the urge to print another one. This time, it's the latest Affleck version from Batman V Superman and Justice League. Here's the Flash asking if he can keep it.

New York Comic Con 2017

I have a love / hate relationship with New York Comic Con. I think the venue is inadequate for the tons of people that go, it's hard to get to, and there's nothing else really around there to do. But despite those things, I always come away from the convention having had a great time. And that is due mostly to the amazing people I get to meet. So here's some of the awesome cosplay that I saw at New York Comic Con this year!

3D Printed Batarang

A little over a year ago, I made a batarang out of foam. Looking to up my propmaking game, I just recently purchased a 3D printer and decided to 3D print one.

This particular model is from myminifactory.com and you can get the model here.

While 3D printing is great at making props like this and it looked fine right off the printer, I still wanted it to look better. A little sanding to get rid of the 3D print lines, some black spray paint, and some silver dry brushing and it's looking pretty good! Below you can see how it looked off the printer.

It prints in 4 pieces because the batarang is designed to open and close.

And here's a little video of it.

TerrifiCon 2017

I had a great time at TerrifiCon 2017 and I finally put together this video for it! Please enjoy!

Eleven Films I'm Anticipating In 2017

Only a month into 2017 means a whole new crop of movies to get excited about! This year, I just couldn't narrow my list down to ten, so here are the eleven films I'm looking forward to seeing in 2017!

11. John Wick: Chapter 2

What's it about?: Legendary hitman John Wick is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins' guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome, where he squares off against some of the world's deadliest killers. From Wikipedia.

Why I'm excited: The first John Wick was surprisingly fun! With Keanu Reeves back in an ass kicking role minus the Matrix special effects, John Wick was a very entertaining revenge flick. Acting skills be damned! Reeves is perfect for a hitman whose actions speak louder than his words.

When it opens: February 10th

   

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders

In a fairly genius move by Warner Bros to appeal to the nostalgia crowd, i.e. my generation, Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar return to voice their respective characters in the new animated film Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. My only question is why didn't anybody think of this sooner?!?

The trailer is super, silly fun, and looks to capture the campy feel of the original 60's TV series. The only thing that would have made this better is if the voice talents of Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero, and Frank Gorshin were included, but unfortunately they have all since passed on. Anyway, here's the official trailer.



Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders will be released digitally on October 11th, and hits Blu-Ray on November 1st.

Foam Batarang Project

Batman Begins came out 11 years ago and is one of my favorite Batman films. I decided to do a little project and make one of Batman's batarangs out of foam. Here's how I did it.

I started by finding a batarang template online. The one I used can be found on pinterest here. It even has dimensions on it so you can size it correctly when you print it.

I cut out the template, and traced two patterns onto 6mm foam.

LEGO Batman Movie Teaser Trailer

If the unending marketing of Batman v Superman hasn't worn you out yet and you're hungry for more Batman, here's the first teaser of The LEGO Batman Movie which comes out next year!



Will Arnett returns from The LEGO Movie to voice the title hero. He's joined by Rosario Dawson as Batgirl, Michael Cera as Robin, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred, and Zach Galifianakis as the Joker.

Lonely LEGO Batman is slated to hit theaters February 10, 2017.

Christopher Reeve Meets Michael Keaton

I love a good fan made trailer. With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice just over three weeks away, the excitement level is ramping up. YouTube user Adeel of Steel, put together this wonderfully made trailer using footage from Christopher Reeve's Superman movies and Michael Keaton's Batman movies. I think the trailer hits all the right notes and gives a little nostalgic insight into what a Batman/Superman team-up film might have looked like in the 80's.

Batman v Superman Final Trailer

If you haven't had a chance to see the latest trailer for Batman v Superman, here it is!



Since I took my sweet ass time to get to this, if you'd like to check out a really cool trailer breakdown, go read Katharine Trendacosta's post on io9. It's very detailed and hits on all the points I like. But, I'd still like to point out the three things I enjoyed the most about this trailer.

Ten Films I'm Anticipating In 2016

We're already a month into 2016 and with a new year comes a new crop of movies to get excited about! So here are the ten movies I'm anticipating most in 2016.

10. Finding Dory

What's it about?: The friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish reunites with her loved ones, and everyone learns a few things about the true meaning of family along the way. From IMDb

Why I'm excited: Finding Dory is the sequel to possibly my favorite Pixar film, Finding Nemo. Pixar has had a great track record, but I haven't considered its films the past few years to be anything special. Cars 2 was horrible, I didn't even bother seeing Brave, and Monsters University was simply average. But I have renewed faith in the animation studio because Inside Out was absolutely excellent! Plus the original writer & director, Andrew Stanton is returning so this film has win-win all over it.

When it opens: June 17th

Holy LEGO Set Batman!

LEGO Batman is pretty popular. He was a featured character in The LEGO Movie, and has his own upcoming spinoff film. Now the classic 60's Adam West Batman is getting his very own set complete with Batcave, BatCopter, Batcycle, and Batmobile!

Here are the designers revealing LEGO set # 76052, which comes in at over 2,500 pieces.



The set will be available in March for $270. Admittedly, I probably won't be buying this set. I've already got that money earmarked for a certain firehouse set I still need to buy. ;) But I still think it's cool, and if you have the space, why not?

But the mini-figures in this set are totally cool! You get Batman & Robin AND their alter-egos! Along with trusted butler, Alfred you get the four major villains. Catwoman looks awesome, and I like how the Joker still has Caesar Romero's mustache which he refused to shave off for the show.

And I'd love to get my hands on a Batmobile if they sold this separately.

Holy Crap! Is That Doomsday?!?

Those were the exact words that came out of my mouth the first time I saw this trailer. It's been about 8 months since the last trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and since then it's been all about Captain America: Civil War and Star Wars: The Force Awakens so we were about due for some new footage. And here it is!



At three minutes long, there's a ton going on in this trailer so lets take a closer look.

The trailer starts with some kind of formal gathering, perhaps a press event? Anyway, Clark Kent, who seems to be covering the event wonders who's the popular person pulling up.

Batman Unmasked

A new clip from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice debuted last night during Gotham, and in it a visibly pissed off Superman confronts a captured Batman and unmasks him revealing an equally pissed off Ben Affleck. The scowl meter in this clip is off the charts.

Connecticut ComiCONN 2015

This past weekend I went to Connecticut ComiCONN. Last year, it was a one day event at Webster Bank Arena. This year, they expanded to three days at Mohegan Sun, and it was a great decision. While the convention itself has gotten much larger, it's still not the utter crowded chaos that New York Comic Con is, and that ultimately is a good thing. It was a well organized event and Mohegan Sun is an excellent venue. I'll admit, by midday Saturday, I was getting kind of "conned-out." But I took a breather in the casino, played some slots, had a couple of drinks, and after that I was ready to head back in. I guess you can't really nerd out for three days straight. So here are some of the highlights of my Connecticut ComiCONN experience.

It's the Batmobile! The car from the 1966 series was on display along with a few cardboard cutouts of the Dynamic Duo.

Batkid Begins

Remember back in 2013 when practically the whole country was rallying around this kid who had Leukemia and wanted to be Batman? And the Make-A-Wish Foundation made that possible by turning San Francisco into Gotham City? Well it's all documented in the new film, Batkid Begins. Watch the story of how 5-year-old Miles Scott, who is thankfully in remission now, became Batkid for a day. Spoiler Alert: This might make you cry...



My favorite line in the trailer is when Hans Zimmer, the composer of the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy says, "He gave everybody license to just be a little absurd." Absurd, but awesome.

Batkid Begins opens June 26th.
