Over on the newly revamped NickMarino.net, I'm sharing some behind the scenes art from Time Log #1, an upcoming comic book by Culturology's Pete, artist Shawn Atkins, and myself.
Time Log #1 will be ready in time for the Pittsburgh Comicon and SPACE, where I'll be setting up tables (yes, I know they're on the same weekend). If you like what you see here, then keep it locked on my site where I'll continue to post more sneak peaks as the pages progress.

It's the Turtlecast finale as we talk about the TMNT video games (NES games! the arcade game!), Kevin Eastman's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Artobiography, the Coming Out of Their Shells concert tour, and listener feedback from Aaron M. Conley. NEXT: a strange transmission from the future is trying it's damnedest to make it's way to the present... will we ever hear the haunting results????
The Kids in the Hall vs. Kidz in the Hall, corduroy wales vs. Wale, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, catch phrases vs. tagging, found art, Gentlemen Broncos, Ponyo, Hoboken = hobo + fist, bebe ads remind Neal of Amy Winehouse, Lily Scott's eyeshadow, The Hebrew Hammer, Tim Allen in Big Trouble, and Who Is Cletis Tout?
Ha! These guys get it.
One week till spring break, and you know what that means: MIDTERMS! I have finance and marketing tests this week, as well as a take home final for my leadership class. After spending 8 hours writing the most ridiculous paper on Coca-Cola, I proudly bounded out of my room and loudly exclaimed to my roommates that I had finished principle bullshittery, or the rough cut. All it needs now is a quick edit before I send it in.
I felt quite amused with myself after uttering it. And for the second time in a row, this one is not in Urban Dictionary yet. I think it really sums up the paper writing process which, as any cinematographer will tell you, is an art form.
prin·ci·pal·bull·shit·a·ry [prin-suh-pahl-bool-shit-uh-ree]
-noun
1. The phase during which a paper is mostly written, usually including large amounts of fluff. The draft is then sent for final editing or 'post': Hey Nick, I just finished principal bullshittery on my take home final, one quick edit tomorrow and I'm turning it in.

The reign of JCVD has ended!!! Check out the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie review master list for all of the JCVD Tweeviews.
And with March, the reign of Superman begins. ELECTRIC BLUE!!! For the next couple months, everyday will see a new Tweeview of an issue (in chronological reading order) of the year that Supes spent as an energy being.
So let's let the tweets begin!!!
- #Superman 1997 19 Supes finally goes electric and it's a fun read. Honestly, this would have been a better place for me to start my reviews. 11:10 AM Mar 5th
- Gentlemen Broncos (2009) - 8/10 - Minimal indie comedy with over-the-top gross-out visuals. Would be 7 but sci-fi scenes get an extra point! 7:36 PM Mar 4th
- #Superman 1997 18 It's Supes vs Ceritak (aka Scorn)! Ceritak is from Kandor and tied into the electric powers. He annoys the hell outta me. 11:10 AM Mar 4th
- #Superman 1997 17 Things are finally picking up! Michelinie does a great job with the new electric powers as well as the Atomic Skull. 11:10 AM Mar 3rd
- #Superman 1997 16 Supes isn't electric blue yet... but a fun threat arrives in the Atomic Skull, while a Boss Moxie b-plot goes nowhere. 11:10 AM Mar 2nd
- #Superman 1997 15 I guess this is the beginning of the "Electric Blue" saga. Though it seems to launch the plot, it's a pretty MEH start. 11:10 AM Mar 1st
- JCVD (2008) - 9/10 - Smart film. Van Damme becomes vulnerable to the audience in a very conceptual way. Great plot and performance. #JCVD 4:10 PM Feb 28th
- G-Man: Cape Crisis #1-5 - 9/10 - Giarusso knocks it out of the park! G-Man is hilarious but the monsters and fantasy art are even AWESOMER. 11:10 AM Feb 28th
- #HootSuite helps me kick social media butt. http://hootsuite.com 6:29 PM Feb 27th
- The Shepard (2008) - 7/10 - An average film boosted by excellent fight choreography and the quirkiness of Van Damme's character. #JCVD 11:10 AM Feb 27th
Tournament Movie Tournament ROUND ONE Bracket:
(If you're not into reading and you want to spoil the match-ups, then skip to the bottom of this post for the ROUND TWO bracket image.)
Enter the Dragon vs. DOA: Dead or Alive
Little known fact about Bruce Lee: he was also a champion beach volleyball player (and if you told him you were looking for a slightly more "mature" attitude, his pectoral muscles would inexplicably swell to three times their normal size). Facing this overwhelmingly talented, distressingly busty version of '70s icon Bruce Lee, the shiny, comfortably 21st Century characters of DOA didn't have a chance. "Based on a video game?" scoffed Lee, "Ha. Ha ha hahha haha ha."
The grueling battle ended with victory for: Enter the Dragon!
Battle Creek Brawl vs. The Quick and the Dead
Two wildly different versions of the West butted heads in this instantly classic match-up: a shanty-town were all the citizens like to stop-and-stare from time to time, and a Texas that is populated almost entirely by burly men. And those burly men were quite good at hugging each other and getting angry, but, well, they just couldn't do much against gun-slinging A-list Hollywood actors. Staring down her gun at a critically wounded Jackie Chan, who knelt bleeding on the ground, pleading for her to take pity and just end his life, Sharon Stone snickered and walked away, leaving Chan's barely breathing body to be picked at by the vultures that were swooping lower and lower.
The grueling battle ended with victory for: The Quick and the Dead!
Redbelt vs. Bronson Lee, Champion
The exploitation wizards that came up with Bronson Lee had no idea what they were in for, going up against David Mamet's well-dialogued Redbelt. Who'd of thought that one of the all-stars of contemporary theatre would also be a macho douchebag who was way into MMA? Bronson Lee didn't, and not only did he get his ass-kicked, but he was talked out of ever bothering trying to act again. Insult to injury, my friends, insult to injury. Perhaps either Charles Bronson or Bruce Lee would have stood a chance, but poor B.L. never did.
The grueling battle ended with victory for: Redbelt!
Sidekicks vs. Bloodfist
This was one of the toughest matches to call in the whole first round, because both of these movies are so... uh... good! Bloodfist fared well in the early goings, as it took immediate advantage of being readily available on DVD to control the early goings of the fight. But once Sidekicks realized that its cult status, being available almost exclusively on hard-to-find VHS tapes and bootleg DVDs snapped out of its racist day-dreaming to conjure an early-nineties Chuck Norris that was still more or less in fighting form. And also, Joe Piscopo beat Billy Blanks in a swimsuit competition. Sidekicks sneaks into round two! It might just be worth watching!
The grueling battle ended with victory for: Sidekicks!
Mortal Kombat vs. The Quest
The longest, knock-down drag-out fight of the first round. Mortal Kombat came out waving around it's many shittily-animated arms, claiming re-watchability, and a superior level of Enter the Dragon knock-offery. But then Jean-Claude Van Damme ran around with some kids, took off his shirt, and did a split, and everyone in the audience, Christopher Lambert included, swooned. This one will be debated into the ages. Was it a fair fight? Were the judges biased by a bizarre, unhealthy fascination with the Muscles from Brussels? Are they rejecting all video-game based tournament movies until Marvel Vs. Capcom finally gets greenlighted? The world may never know.
The grueling battle ended with victory for: The Quest!
Bloodsport vs. Best of the Best
Come on people. Bloodsport wins. Duh. Bloodsport won with its eyes closed.
The grueling battle ended with victory for: Bloodsport!
The Karate Kid vs. Never Back Down
One of the greatest sports movies (let alone tournament movies) ever made faces it's most successful (and not all that successful, at that) knock-off. There may well have been things about the 2000s that were okay, but Never Back Down wasn't really one of them. No contest. Way to go, Daniel-son.
The grueling battle ended with victory for: The Karate Kid!
Over the Top vs. The Karate Kid, Part III
We've met many people over the years that have claimed to have been entertained by Over the Top, but we don't really believe them. Meanwhile, KKPIII is a much better, way more over the top B-movie than Over the Top. It's not even time yet, in just the first round, to even sing the full praises of The Karate Kid, Part III. A sleeper candidate? A wildcard? Could be, could be...
The grueling battle ended with victory for: The Karate Kid, part III!

As opposed to last week's pair, I think Bison and Chun-Li would make a horrible couple. He'd always be trying to brainwash her and she'd always be trying to kill him. Be back next week for more Capcom Fighting Evolution Hyper Combo Wallpaper!
