Cowboy Ninja Viking Movie

No, not dadaist prose, Cowboy Ninja Viking is another upcoming comic book movie! We all know Cowboy Ninja Viking, right? That graphic novel by AJ Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo about a secret government program that turns schizophrenics into assassins. And then the main character escapes the program with the skills of Cowboys, Ninjas, and Vikings, and hunts down the billionaire who bankrolled the whole thing. It sound ridiculous but is apparently set up more serious than you’d think. Marc Foster (Quantum of Solace and World War Z) is slated to direct, with the film coming out of Universal (after a brief layover at Disney!) I am sure a comic book with a dumb title like this will make an excellent films, one only has to look at prior example Cowboys and Aliens to… Why are you all laughing???

BloominHappy2009 – Attack of the Etsy!

One fun thing I like to do is browse Etsy for weirdo stuff. And though there are whole sites dedicated to mining the worst of Etsy, I instead will be focusing on stuff I think is pretty cool, even though it will probably be weird. So to start out, here is some cool weird stuff from an Etsy seller named BloominHappy2009:

Air plant in black hippo animal planter
Black Hippo Planter

Air plant in black hippo animal planter. Perfect gift for him. Great decor for your office. Be the envy of all your office colleagues when they see this adorable planter sitting on your desk. This repurposed toy hippo has been primed and hand painted by me in black and sealed for protection. He measures 6″ long x 3.5″ tall.

He comes with the message “Go Against the Flow” around his neck but you can change that. You may want this as a housewarming gift, a college dorm gift, to say thank you, or maybe a get well gift. I can personalize it to say what you want.

Air plant display. Lion animal planter in Neon Pink with air plant
Pink Lion Planter

This adorable planter with air plant is a re-purposed lion toy figure and would look so cool sitting on your desk or anywhere in your home that has a window. Leonard has been primed and hand painted by me in 3 coats of electric pink and sealed with a special waterproof sealer. He measures 8″ long x 4″ tall.

Air plant nestled in fabulous little fish
Fish Planter

Air plant nestled in fabulous little fish. Get well gift or girly office decor. As soon as I saw her lips I just knew that this funny little fish would be a perfect display for an air plant. Very brightly colored and measures 3.5″ long x 2″ tall and the plant is 2-3″ tall. This plant is named Ionantha Rubra and will blush red just before blooming with spikes of purple as seen in last photo.

This adorable planter is a re-purposed dinosaur toy and would look so cool sitting on your desk or anywhere in your home that has a window. He has been primed and hand painted by me in 3 coats of metallic purple and sealed for protection. He measures 9″ long x 5″ tall. NOT A TOY FOR CHILDREN.

He comes with the message “Attitude is Everything!!” around his neck but you can change that.

Large crab planter with air plant

Large crab planter with air plant. Would look great on your office desk. Great gift for plant lover. This planter is created from paper mache, hand painted by me in bright tropical colors and finished with a few coats of varnish for protection.

She has been primed and hand painted by me in 3 coats of turquoise and sealed for protection. She measures 8″ long x 6″ tall. Fun gift for a special friend.

Bisque pig doll with air plant
Pig Doll Planter

SALE. Vintage planter. Bisque pig doll with air plant. Unique gift for collector of plants or pigs. I found this very unusual planter at an estate sale and loved the idea of how it would look as an air plant display.

The pig has moving arms and legs and is in very good condition for something that is so old. There is a small chip on the back of the neck which I have shown in the last photo. She comes complete with large eyelashes and measures 11.5″ long by 6″ wide.

There are more, much more, at the BloominHappy2009 Etsy Store!

John Carter of Mindless Violence

Here’s the last John Carter (of Mars, dammit!) trailer, and it looks like they went from explaining nothing and looking boring to explaining nothing and having mindless violence. So. Yeah. Still no mention of “Directed by the guy who did Wall-E” or “From the writer who brought you Tarzan”. It’s a damn shame that people on the internet have done a way better job promoting John Carter than Disney, and we have absolutely nothing riding on this except the cost of our movie ticket. At least my old copies of the Barsoom books will still be there (though mine are in storage atm with most of my other pulp novels!)
It takes a Carter to bring peace to Mars...

Horrible Vacation

The next chapter of the National Lampoon’s Vacation series is still moving forward, with the team behind the not very good Horrible Bosses writing and probably directing it – Sam Brown and Dave Neustadter. Granted, they didn’t write the film, they were brought on board to fix it, so it must have been 1000 times more awful before. Variety’s article then mentions the previously rumored story that we’ll be following Rusty’s family and Clark and Ellen Griswold show up as the grandparents. I do not know if that is the way they will be going, but I sure hope so, and it may be true if Variety isn’t copy/pasta-ing previous stories about the Vacation sequel.

Dead Sushi

Noboru Iguchi has been busy, besides his hard work making films about Zombie Ass, he’s been helping with the Yamagami-kun shorts and been making several other films. One of which just got a trailer release, Dead Sushi, about sushi that both comes alive and attacks people, and turns them into zombies who also attack people. Like Iguchi’s other stuff, it looks ridiculous. Almost to the point where I wouldn’t bother with it, except Rina Takeda is also starring in it and she’ll probably be kicking zombies in the head. So I’m down with that. Shigeru Matsuzaki and several Iguchi regulars (I recognized many people in the trailer…) costar.
