New Addition to Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Only rumored last week, Variety has confirmed that Frank Grillo, last seen in "The Gray", will be playing Brock Rumlow - AKA "Crossbones" in the Marvel Studios sequel. If anyone hasn't read the Winter Soldier storyline from the comics, I highly recommend getting off yer arse and go get yourself a copy - its the best Captain America storyline in years! Look for Captain America : The Winter Soldier, to hit theaters April 4, 2014!

I Think I've Finished The New Logo...
Since I've decided to customize my van with a Tiki motif, I've re-worked an old art piece to reflect my business. I'll be using the van to go on buying trips, and the logo will go on the back windows and sides. What do y'all think? Also, my wife hates the idea of using the 3-D Monster name for the business because it doesn't accurately describe what I do. I think it's perfect because the blog and Etsy store are already pretty well established, and anyway; who would have ever thought that a site called "Monster.com" would be an employment site?!? Just sayin'. Your input and opinion would be greatly appreciated!

Veeery Interesting...
Check out the tattoo on the back of Ben Kingsley's neck as barely seen on the new Iron Man 3 trailer! Is the "A" for Avengers, America, or even Anarchy? His character; The Mandarin, is known as a terrorist in the film, so I'm going with Anarchy. What do you guys think?

Top 5 Tearjerker Movies For Guys
Why only five? Because we're not friggin' cry-babies! I'm sure plenty of you will disagree, or throw in 100 year old movies like "Old Yeller" and such, but these are the only five films that I have openly wept in, so deal with it. Coming soon - the top five movies I have slept through in the theater!
#5.) Armageddon: "Remember how I told you I was coming home? Looks like I'll have to break that promise." Those words to Liv Tyler from her dad; Bruce Willis were enough to get the water works pumpin'!
#4.) Return of The Jedi: "Just once... let me look on you with my own eyes." That one simple line led to the greatest cinematic reveal of all time; the face behind the mask of one of the most feared movie villains in history, and he is revealed to be... a broken old man who has found redemption and loves his kids. "Sniff"... talk amongst yourselves... I've got something in my eye.
#3.) Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan: "I have been... and always shall be... your friend." Spock's final words to Captain Kirk as he sacrifices himself for the good of the crew left my 9 year-old self devastated! For a Vulcan devoid of emotion, he sure knows how to get a guy bawlin'
#2.) King Kong (2005 Version): No words were necessary for this one; amazing cgi and Peter Jackson's direction humanized the giant ape with a heart of gold like no one before. My wife had to console me all the way home from the theater.
#1.) E.T. The Extra Terrestrial: Now c'mon - are you really surprised? "I'll be right here" That parting line from E.T. to his friend Elliot instantly reduces me to a blubbering pile of tears and mucus to this very day! Anyone who didn't cry when watching this is truly dead inside.
Well that's it! The top five guy-flicks that made me bawl like a little girl, and I'm man enough to admit it! Whew! That was emotional - I need to go watch something with blood and explosions now.

My New Addiction: SOA
After finishing off "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men" from my number two time waster; Netflix (#1 being the interwebs, of course), I was looking for a new series to catch up on. I've been aware of "Sons of Anarchy" since the beginning, and even watched an episode a couple of years ago, but I had no idea what was going on, so I didn't watch it again. Then came the miracle of Netflix streaming, so I decided to give it another shot from the beginning.
That was last week, and I'm already half-way through season 2! This show is awesome!! It's basically the Sopranos with motorcycles and lots of leather! I'm really diggin' the roster of guest stars, too - the storyline I'm on now features Henry Rollins as the head skull-cracker for a white supremacist group, and he's scary as Hell!!
Seriously though; if you haven't watched this show, but are a fan of Sopranos-style crime dramas, then Sons of Anarchy will be right up your alley!
