Actor Casting in Beloved Franchises: The Thousand Pound Gorilla in the Room

Packy - Head Llama

Actor Casting in Beloved Franchises: The Thousand Pound Gorilla in the Room The announcing of casting for a beloved character in popular franchises, especially in those based on comic book properties, is a highly anticipated event. It’s damn near a spectator sport. Although, unlike going to something like a baseball game, watching the reactions to these casting announcements is more akin to watching the Christians being thrown to the lions. You never really know what kind of reaction you are going to get, and yet somehow the reactions seem to always…

Let’s Celebrate #GlobalJamesBondDay By Ranking All The Bond Songs! @007

Packy - Head Llama

Let’s Celebrate Global James Bond Day By Ranking All The Bond Songs! October 5th has been Global James Bond Day since 2012. In that time, it has been customary for the production team behind the 007 films to release the theme song for the next Bond flick, starting with Adele’s Skyfall. Being as the latest Bond film has not started filming yet and as such there will be no new theme song unveiled this year, I thought it might be a good bit of fun to rank the Bond songs in…

Westworld On Film & HBO’s New Series: Why You Should Be Watching #Westworld

Packy - Head Llama

Westworld On Film & HBO’s New Series: Why You Should Be Watching #Westworld Yesterday marked the debut of HBO’s re-imagined Westworld television series, and to celebrate the launch I sat through the classic film Westworld and then watched the series premiere on HBO Now directly thereafter. Hindsight being 20/20, I feel that this was probably the best way I could have experienced the premiere. There is a foundation that is superbly laid down by the feature film, which gives a clear vision of what the company Delos Destinations is, how…

Movies You Should Be Watching: Comic Book the Movie @HamillHimself

Packy - Head Llama

Movies You Should Be Watching: Comic Book the Movie – I Am Impervious To Pain! When I watch a film, it is primarily for the entertainment value, pure and simple. A lot of film connoissuers are all about the drama, subtext, and emotional weight of the movies that they love, and that is specifically what they look for in the motion pictures that they tend to watch. Those “heavy” type of flicks just aren’t for me. There’s enough drama in everyday life, well acted out by the people all around us…

Doctor Mordrid: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review @fullmoonhorror @jeffreycombs

Packy - Head Llama

Doctor Mordrid: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – Wherein We Discover That Glitter Glue Is Used In Dimension Warping Spells! I had initially intended to review Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys today, but circumstances have pushed that off a few days. I’ve been viewing most of the Full Moon flicks that I’ve reviewed this month via their streaming service, and Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys (which I have reviewed Dollman & Demonic Toys already) is not currently available on the service, but it’s getting added on Thursday. The show must go on,…

Subspecies: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – The “we’re smarter than we look” edition… As we sprint into the home stretch on my month long tribute to Full Moon Features, I wanted to be sure to highlight at least one more of the classic franchises. I had already reviewed Demonic Toys (and will likely review Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys tomorrow), so I didn’t necessarily want to review a Puppet Master film, as they have a number of similarities. There are quite a few Full Moon gems from the late 80s and…

Trophy Heads Episode 1: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review @fullmoonhorror

Packy - Head Llama

Trophy Heads Episode 1: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – prolonging the magic, one head at a time… Always on the hunt for new and exciting types of content to absorb, I was needing something short and sweet to review today as my time was exceptionally limited. I knew that Full Moon Features had recently released an episodic TV series title Trophy Heads, but I had not taken much time to learn anything about it. The more I looked into their episodic content, the more it looked like that may…

Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review @fullmoonhorror

Packy - Head Llama

Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – Yes Virginia, that is the actual title of the movie Another day in May is another wonderful reason to continue the month long celebration of the robust catalog of films made by Full Moon Features! After dipping fairly heavy into the horror side of Full Moon recently, I felt that it would be a nice change of pace to try a pure comedy flick. Although not as well known for comedy as they are for horror and…

Thoughts on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4 @jedwhedon @MoTancharoen @Marvel

Thoughts on the direction that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4 could take – #itsallconnected 2.0 *** SPOILER FREE: This posting will be spoiler free – so feel free to read safely with the knowledge that if you haven’t seen the series or the season 3 finale, I won’t ruin any of it for you. ***  I have one, and only one, must-watch live network TV show, and that is Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D which is currently broadcast Tuesday evenings on ABC. It is no secret that I am a fan…

Evil Bong: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – Play With My Hot Wheels… And As Always, “Dry Hair Is For Squids!” This day was bound to happen. When I dedicated my blog to celebrating Full Moon Features all month long, I knew that I would have to mix the modern with the classics. Inevitably that would mean watching their most popular new franchise, which has spawned 4 sequels to date, Evil Bong. Full Disclosure: I’m not a huge fan of stoner comedies and/or films that glorify recreational drug use. If that makes…
