We will go see "Star Trek", maybe another film, have a BBQ, go throw the football & play some frisbee golf,

watch some history channel & war movies at home,

& we will attend a memorial service on monday (my son is performing with the pipe band).

How bout you?  any plans (besides "Fast 6")?

Here is your moment of  Zen.

Hey, great news on the graduation (& the ring!).

I have not seen "The United States of Tara", pretty good, huh?

I recently tried to get into "Girls" on HBO, but I could NOT take the

"whining" & and sense of entitlement by the lead character,

oh well, I must be way too old for their target demographic, haha.

Been busy catching up on "Game of Thrones" & "Boardwalk Empire",

I can't wait for the final saeson of "Breaking Bad" this summer!

Pretty good, celebrated Mother's Day (for my wife), took her out to lunch & dinner,

and we watched "Gangster Squad" & "Jack Reacher" (enjoyed both).

How did you like "Iron Man 3" & "Star Trek: Into Darkness"?

Haha, YES!  In elementary school the teachers knew I was an artist,

so I brought in some of my magazine covers & did a drawing demonstration,

NOTHING impresses kids more if you can draw elephants, giraffes & esp. T-Rexs!

Dude, you might have a different job by then, but irregardless just approach any 

occupation with pride, place the focus on what you do = helping sick people,

I'm sure ALL kids have been to a pharmacy with their moms, so they can relate to what you do!

Have a great weekend!

Haha, LOVE it! *It's SO BAAAAAAD, it's good!*

hmmm for Indian Michael Jackson I prefer  THIS!

Speaking of bad Indian movie  scenes

And for a stinker of a movie fight scene  there's  THIS

My wife always drew little notes for my boys school lunches (elementary school),

and on for mondays (sunday night) she'd have me draw the notes,

(personal greetings from Hulk, Spiderman, Ultraman, Godzilla, Superman, Goku, Ninja Turtles,etc.)

*My boys still have some of their favorites*

Another talent I have, is making my boys open faced peanut butter sandwiches,

which I would then draw (with a butter knife) faces of their favorite characters

Spiderman, Hulk, Ultraman, Goku, Superman,  etc.

*The key is to spread it on thick and smooth the surface to have a blank "canvas" to draw on*

Here's your moment of  zen

Yes, Drew Struzan!  I also liked Jack Davis' stuff.

Plus I LOVE the work by all these guys:  Movie Poster Artists

Yes, I have to admit we used to spend up to an hour at the old video store picking

our weekends movie selections.  We would pick based on who was in it, what we felt like

(agree upon) mostly comedies & action.  Before I wasmarried,

def. YES! the cover art would influence my buddies & I,

but also by reading  magazines like:  Starlog  ,  Fangoria  ,   Cinefex ,  

Cinefantastique ,   Science Fantasy Film Classics ,  & Famous Monsters of Filmland

we would learn about upcoming Sci-Fi & Horror films.

So true!  In this day and age of photoshop all movie posters and movie covers look the same!

and here's  PROOF!

What happened to the good old days?

Like  This?   or This?    or even This?

Yes, the sword fight in "Jason" is still Amazing!

I'll bet they have another reference to Harryhausen in "Monsters University".

I have fond memories of watching monster movies on crappy TVs,

*even funnier are crappy monster movies on crappy TVs!*

Not really any road trips, kind of a boring summer (broke$).

Very sad news on Ray Harryhausen, I was moved to write This

Even though "Jason and the Argonauts" was his magnum opus,

I'm partial to the dinosaur movies "One Millin Years B.C." & "The Valley of Gwangi".

How bout you?
