| | Monsters Vs Aliens Trailer | | 2008-08-19 20:03:59 | | I get nervous whenever I hear about an animated film these days that isn’t produced by Pixar, and the upcoming “Monsters Vs. Aliens” is no exception.A lot of people and websites have been anxiously awaiting this one, but I personally always thought it looked blah. Well, looks like a version of the Monsters Vs. Aliens trailer has leaked out onto the web, and I’ve got to admit I think it looks really funny. Check it out: As our friends at Cinematical point out, the film stars the voi | | By: El Cine | | |
| | Website Found: American Monsters | | 2008-08-07 19:00:00 | | What is it?American Monsters is a website with a far larger scope than the name suggests. Gathered there is a huge supply of useful information on cryptozoology, or, for those that don't know what that is, the "scientific" study of the unknown and mysterious creatures on this planet (such as Loch Ness, Big Foot, and creatures that we know for a fact actually exist--as in physical evidence like a dead body). The website features:Monsters page which divides creatures by type (such as avian, hairy, and hybrid). WHen you click a specific type it takes you to another page that lists reported incidents with creatures that fit into that category.A map that allows you to click icons representing certain monsters, which brings up on the world map several dots representing known sightings. This is actually pretty neat. You'd be amazed how widespread some creatures are as far as sightings are concerned.Sightings form that allows you to report your own sightings of the unknown.Vanguard and Pi | | By: The World in the Satin Bag | | |

| Monsters Vs Aliens - Leaked Trailer | | 2008-08-04 03:36:19 | |
Monsters Vs Aliens is an upcoming stereoscopic 3D animated film from Dreamworks Animation studio.
The storyline of the film involves Californian girl Susan Murphy, who turns into a 49-feet-11-inches tall (not the 50 foot woman, get it ?) monster after being hit by a meteor from outer space. Now called Ginormica, Susan is captured by the military and held in detention with other monsters in a secret government facility.
When a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and starts attacking the country, Susan and her motley crew of fellow monsters are called into action by The President to save the world.
The voice talent list includes famous names like Reese Witherspoon, who voices Susan, Hugh Laurie (of House, M.D. fame), Seth Rogen, and Rainn Wilson from the US version of The Office.
With a stellar voice cast and geek-friendly storyline, Monsters Vs Aliens looks really interesting. Unless, of course, Dreamworks messes it up, like they did with Bee Movie (absolutely horrendous) | | By: JazJaz | | |

| | Monsters' Den: Book of Dread | | 2008-06-06 15:16:38 | | In a sense, every video game is a Role Playing Game. You're playing the role of Mario, you're playing the role of Niko Bellic, you're playing the role of Pac-Man. Many modern games labeled "RPG" are actually less about stepping into the shoes of another person and more about going through the motions which allow that person to tell his own story. They should be called Story Assist Games, or "SAGs". But I can hardly complain about it, since the point of the original Dungeons and Dragons was never actually about Playing a Role. It was about finding a +5 Dragon-Tooth Chaos Blade of Enchanted Slaying and then splitting a troll in half with it. In fact, the troll part was optional. Many players were perfectly happy just wandering around being handed sacks full of armament like they were Hallowe'en candy corn. Monsters' Den: The Book of Dread, from Biclops Games, gets that.

| | Our 10 Favorite Monsters | | 2008-06-06 03:19:00 | | 1)BigfootBigfoot is of course the world's marquee monster, having had pizzas and monster trucks named after it. Bigfoot is known not for what it is (since no one knows for certain what it is, or if it even exists), but what it supposedly leaves behind: large footprints. Bigfoot's high profile is largely due to a short film taken in 1967 in Bluff Creek, California. This is the classic footage of Bigfoot, showing a furry, man-sized creature walking across a clearing. The film has never been proven authentic, and many suspect a hoax. It is also odd that the film remains the best evidence for Bigfoot 40 years later, despite the fact that video cameras are better, cheaper, and in more hands than ever before; surely if it was not a hoax someone would have recorded a film as good or better since then. Perhaps Bigfoot's most amazing quality is its ability to leave no hard evidence of its existence. No teeth, bones, live or dead ones have been found.

| | Top 5 Bad Ass Monsters From Greek Mythology | | 2008-04-07 13:23:29 | |
Our love affair with monsters is not a completely new thing; the fertile imagination of the ancient Greeks had given rise to many terrifying beings.
While these ancient mythical monsters may not have been the results of cloning, nuclear tests, or even deep sea mining, they certainly were as good, if not better than present-day, computer generated ones. And these monsters have staying power, for they have continued to influence writers and artists over thousands of years. I seriously doubt that the Cloverfield monster (as cool as it was) will be remembered a few centuries from now.
So, let’s take a look at five of the most iconic monsters from ancient Greek mythology, and some of the interesting influences they have had on popular culture.
The Lernaean Hydra
Monster Origins:
The Lernaean Hydra was the spawn of Echidna - the mother of all monsters, and Typhon, a monster with a hundred serpent heads and legs.

| | The Monsters In The Closet | | 2008-03-31 00:53:00 | | Every one has a secret and every family has their secrets that are kept behind closed doors so the image that is presented to the outside world is not tarnished. When I decided to start this blog there are certain boundaries that I imposed which I promised to myself that I would not cross.My childhood was full of abuse of all nature and I carry both the physical and mental scars with me to this day which is the reason why the fight to find a qualified therapist is so important to me as I do not want to carry this baggage with me any longer and this is is a battle I can not take on alone. If I can somehow justify the abuse then maybe I can get back to mental clarity. There are areas of my past that are not safe for me to explore on my own as i end up in a bad place mentally so the risk factor is too high. The hope is with the right help that the therapist will help me explore my past and I will not get lost in the process.A friend of mine recently started a new blog called "Dirty Li | | By: UNTREATABLE' S BLOG - Borderline Personality Self | | |

| | 3 Monsters in Shrooms Movie | | 2008-01-15 15:03:09 | | The future that Tara (Lindsey Haun) sees is mostly about her friends becoming killed. The Shrooms (2006) movie has its suspenseful moments. The movie features things come up at you when you least expect them. One example is when Tara tells her friend that there is a dead body attached to a rope a few feet from them by the lakeside.Her friend pulls the rope only to find it cut off. What a relief, you would think that there is no dead body. At the very moment, a loud shriek sounds & the face of her dead friend pops up out onto the water’s surface. There are 3 monsters to be afraid of in the Shrooms movie. One is the black runner, one is the dog man, & the most lethal; Tara who is tripping on crazy mushrooms. | | By: movie special | | |

From mutant beasts to classical vampires, aliens to reanimated body parts, we can’t resist wallowing in the horror as we get ready for Halloween. At least I can’t, since there is so much material to share with you! Enjoy these monster stories, and check back for more in just a couple of days! The Monster Mash
Dave Burke’s monster art can be seen at Monsterfetish.

Kipling West makes monsters. She enjoys that. Step-by-step instructions on how to build a scary monster powered by your USB port. Neato! This monster will tell you a joke when you push his buttons. I didn’t say they were good jokes. A scary monster flash animation. The Goth-O-Matic Poetry Generator. I don’t recall why I decided to include this here. I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time. (via Arbroath) Otherkin are people who believe that, despite their human form, they’re really vampires, dragons or some other romantic creature. Are you a real vampire? Take the test! You are simply a tiny bud on the rose bush of death. However, with plenty of exposure to moonlight, along with a bit of cultivation and tender loving care, you should soon flower into something wicked, powerful and very thirsty. Where vampires came from. Watch a real live vampire drink human blood! OK, so its a bat, but its drinking the filmmaker’s blood! To really get a taste of Vampire history, watch Nosferatu, the 1922 silent film starring Max Shreck. Originally released as Nosferatu, Eine Symphonie Des Grauens, this adaption of the Dracula story is a masterpiece of horror and still causes dread, chills, and nightmares.

You never, but never, are at a risk for skin cancer. 9. Two words: Bloody Marys. 8. Remember that dilapidated castle you inherited back in the 1700s? You can sell that bad boy for a cool $10 million these days. 7. Instead of rushing out and buying new clothes every time there's a change in fashion, you can just wait for your old stuff to come back into style. 6. Chicks dig the fangs. 5. You can take "bite me" literally. 4. No matter what anyone says, satin-lined coffins are cheaper, more comfortable, and last longer than those stupid Craftmatic Adjustables...... 3. Generally outliving the hell out of everyone 2. You can get revenge on your enemies by turning into a bat and dropping loads of guano into their convertables. 1. Great bumper sticker for the hearse: "Life Sucks, But So Do I". 10 Reasons why it's lousy to be a Vampire 10. When you wake up, your hair is always the same shape as the top of your coffin..... 9. Early evening blood breath, that Listerine just won't get rid of. 8. Your dentist insists on filing down "those outsize canines" 7. The Goth crowd you hang out with doesn't think you're that cool after a couple of weeks...... 6. You never get a chance to cash in at all-you-can-eat overnight buffets. 5. Your mortal S.O.'s get upset when all you want to do is neck. 4. You smell musty 3. You tend to embarrass yourself when you try to turn into a bat and you end up transforming into a Louisville Slugger. 2. You keep tripping over your cape. 1. Let's face it, you suck. SIGNS YOU WORK WITH A WEREWOLF * Still hasn't forgiven Michael J. Fox for "Teen Wolf." * Newly installed keg of Nair in men's room. * His Wolfman Jack impression is eerily authentic. * Five o'clock shadow appears around 8:30 am. * Only *guy* you know who circles several days a month in red on his desk calendar. * Says, "Great job on the Hanrahan account!" and then humps your leg. * Domino's guy asks, "who ordered the large Cheese and Raw Beef Special?" * Adamantly refuses to drink Coors Light. * In lieu of annual bonus, prefers a good scratching behind the ears. * Suddenly sports a beard when mooned at office holiday party. * Water cooler conversations always end with talk of "kickin' Ol' Yellar's ass." * "Severance pay" has taken on a whole new meaning lately.. * Vending machine always out of Milk Bones. * Your sarcastic little "Bite me!" nets you 12 stitches. * Always calls in sick with "mange." * Coughs up a hairball during morning staff meeting.

| | Thursday Shout-Out: Three Scary Monsters | | 2007-10-11 20:16:00 | | Long time Mattress Police supporter, Humor-Blogs.com member and funny guy Mr. Fabulous is up for the Best Humor Blog award once again. Vote for him here. I know, I know, you want to vote for me, but you can't. I haven't been nominated, and if I had I would just throw all my support to Fab. Because, well, he has a chance to win.In other news, have you been following the drama at Central Snark? You should be. As you know, my Nazgul minion Grundir the Implacable has been traversing the blogosphere dispatching memes and hobbits with his razor sharp wit and broadsword, respectively. Not content with memicide, he even decimated some Crummy Church Signs. But no amount of violence seems to soothe Grundir's blackened soul, and on Monday he showed up at Central Snark, whining about how hard it is to be neither truly dead nor alive: What weighs heavily upon me these days is the little things, like the way small children look upon me when I’m at Target. I know, I should not let it trouble me so, but it wears on one, being constantly treated as if I am some sort of monster. Bah! I hear your protests. It is immaterial that I am, in fact, some sort of monster. (Get it, immaterial? I slay me!)This was evidently more than some people could take. No longer satisfied to borrow Grundir for his own purposes, Joel from Crummy Church Signs hired his own socially inept henchman, a Wookie named Kalfu'ur, to "investigate" the misuse of alter egos throughout the blogosphere. A "quote," from Kalfu-ur, such as it is: (Unintelligible Wookie War-Bellow) Kalfu’ur stop silly alternate personas! Kalfu’ur not understand them! They not same as when Chewbacca, Magnificent One (May His Fur Always Be Ruffled) pretended to be prisoner in order infiltrate Death Star. Or when He pretended to be prisoner in order infiltrate Jabba’s Palace. (What can Kalfu’ur say? A good plan is a good plan. He “Magnificent One” for a reason!) There no princess in Inter-net! There no carbonite-encased friends! There no handsome bounty for alternate personas! (A second unintelligible Wookie War-Bellow)This led to a heated discussion in which Kalfu'ur was accused of being a prime example of the very thing he was supposed to be stamping out. The argument rapidly devolved into a barrage of vicious insults, with Kalfu'ur accusing Grundir of being unable to defend Mordor against midgets and Grundir suggesting that Kalfu'ur was just grumpy about his dingleberries.Lampsha (also known as G, Queen of Humor-Blogs Reviews), stepped in to mediate, resulting in a riveting panel discussion between the two creatures. Although they were in agreement that "small, furry creatures are the bane of great evil empires everywhere," the discussion doesn't seem to have done much to improve relations between our minions. The low point was probably when Kalfu'ur quoted REO Speedwagon. Now people are talking about a "cage match," and I just don't know what to do any more. You try to raise your evil minions right, teach them evil from just plain wrong, and listen to their tortured howls of misery and regret, but I guess in the end they have to choose their own path. Read the discussion here and tell me what I should do with Grundir.Opinion Polls & Market ResearchI'll make a decision based on the results and let you know sometime next week.And be back here tomorrow for the caption contest results.

| | Lake Erie Monsters' First Schedule Ever! | | 2007-08-08 07:08:10 | | After sharing an AHL farm team with the Carolina Hurricanes for the past couple of years, the Avalanche will now enjoy their own solo development club. Enter the Cleveland-based Lake Erie Monsters (I call the mascot "Steamer"). The Monsters have released their schedule for the 2007-08 season, and it looks like an easy one. Lots of days off with most games bunched up together. No word on the roster yet, of course. That won't be finalized until after the Avalanche training camp in September, but Cleveland fans should look for TJ Hensick, Ray Macias, Jaroslav Hlinka and Chris Stewart to be the Lake Erie standouts. I might make the trek up to northern Ohio at least once this season and check out the team myself. | | By: Mile High Hockey | | |
| | The Monsters under the Bed | | 2007-07-13 23:28:58 | | Ever since we were young, we were usually told by our parents to sleep and not look under the bed. The belief that there are monsters under our beds was evident and has been passed on to this day.
Question is do kids still believe it to this day? Well it depends on their traditional upbringing. Some use it as a psychological factor while others simply play around with the idea. Check it out with this music video and see imaginations put into one compilation.

Estas dos personas subieron su película a youtube solo por un tiempo limitado. Mi consejo es que la vean hoy mismo.
Es una película independiente, hecha con muy bajo presupuesto (guerrilla style), dura 71 mins. y bueno, a mí me gustó mucho! Se trata de cómo estas dos personas se conocen y comienzan una vida juntos de una manera muy peculiar. El nombre de la película se debe a una analogía muy inteligente; Las parejas tienen 4 ojos, dos bocas, ocho brazos que se entrelazan todo el tiempo… (hay que verla para entender a cabalidad el asunto).

| | The Monsters Abroad | | 2007-05-22 07:49:00 | | In the South Carolina Republican Debate of May 15th, Ron Paul asked a tough question that has been quietly sidestepped, unsurprisingly, by all other candidates and the media. Paul had the audacity to ask what our reaction would be if some other country—China for example—was pursuing a similar policy of military expansion on our soil or in the Gulf of Mexico.I don’t expect Giuliani or the other candidates to take up this question anytime soon. Possibly because a rational response that passes intellectual muster eludes them. It's not, after all, just a hypothetical. That the U.S. exists in the first place is thanks to a radical insurgency that struck against a nation whose presence here had a good deal more legitimacy than ours in the Middle East ever will.Looking back at our history one might remember the battle of the Alamo from the perspective of a heroic suicide stand by insurgents against an encroaching Mexican nation.
