SF Public Transportation




All I have to say is...


Ok, maybe I have a bit more to say.  Not to dwell on the nightmare (see what I did there) that is riding PT in SF, but its tragic.  I imagine better cities like NYC don't have to wait 20 minutes for a train to 3 stops.  Before I moved here, I had this elaborate fantasy of the fantastic rides on the underground commuters.  Sadly, I just get colds more often.  On the upside, I think I have picked up a few languages.

Where are they now? Horror Edition.


Kevin Spirtas from Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood

I should preface this little blurb by saying this Friday has always been one of my favorites.  It has the humor, the gore, the creative deaths but it also added some new elements.  For starters, Tina (our lady in distress) can move shit with her mind.  Yeah, they went there and it worked.  She was all bad ass and kicking some Jason ass.  The movie suffered because much of the gore was removed at the request of the MPAA.  However, it still remains a fun ride.

When watching this movie as a young closeted youth, I often thought about the tightness of his pants more than I should.  The hot guys in these movies were so great for a closeted youth.  Adults would think I was watching for the boobs or some shit but no, it was the occasional male arse that would make an appearance. 

Back to Kevin, he "might" be gay and apparently a lot of the cast from the film was too (lots of gossip was spilled in the book Crystal Lake Memories.  Can you imagine the Saturday nights on that set?

It turns out Kevin is still acting and still looks great.  He was in "Green Plaid Shirt" and did lots of theater work. 



A Bit Of Trivia

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984):
Wes Craven first came up with the basic idea for the movie from several newspaper printed in the LA Times over a three year period about a group of Cambodian refugees from the Hmong tribe, several of whom died in the throes of horrific nightmares. The group had had come to America to escape the reign of Pol Pot, and within a year of arriving, three men had died, with the situation the same in each cases; the young, otherwise healthy, man would have a nightmare then refuse to sleep for as long as possible. Upon finally falling asleep from exhaustion, the man awoke screaming, then died. Autopsy results revealed that they had not died because of heart failure, they had simply died. It was this lack of cause that intrigued Craven so much. Medical authorities have since called the phenomena Asian Death Syndrome, a variant of Sudden Unexpected Death Syndrome (SUDS) and Brugada Syndrome.

All Good Things

Finally got around to watching this movie.  I wasn't blown away but my oh my, can Ryan fill out some wet undies.






Trevor Donovan from that 90210 show

When I heard that 90210 was coming back, I knew it would never be like the original. First, if there is no Brenda Walsh, there is no party. One of my girlfriends loves it and talks about this guy all the time. Upon further examination, I see what she was talking about.

Jake is channeling his inner Patrick Bateman

Ok, it's not Patrick Bateman but it could be his equally hot cousin.  Jake is going all American Psycho in this music video and I am loving it so much.  All kinds of hot.  Here is Jake getting all crazy sexy in The Shoes - Time To Dance.  Is it weird that this video turned me on a bit?




Screengrabs after the break.

Good morning world!

No coffee needed today when I have some Jake to wake me up.  This time change is kicking my ass.

I need a new VD

I'm bummed that I have to wait longer for new episodes of The Vampire Diaries.  I'm obsessed with this show.  It looks like Cassidy Freeman (Tess Mercer from Smallville) is coming on to the show as Sage, a myseterious vampire from Damon's past.  Cassidy killed it on Smallville so I am anxious to see what she does with this role.  Hopefully she will get all evil and crazy which is just like I love her.  Where the hell is Tyler btw?  I miss my hot werewolf man.  Some photos of Tyler Michael and Klaus Joseph Morgan after the break.

That's not sperm...

I can't even lie, I thought this was very cool.  The NASA Mars reconnaissance Orbiter has got a shot of a tornado on the surface of Mars.  Pretty awesome.  Or is this some kind of Disney marketing for John Carter?  I smell a conspiracy.




An afternoon whirlwind on Mars lofts a twisting column of dust more than half a mile (800 meters) high in an image from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
HiRISE captured the image on Feb. 16, 2012, while the orbiter passed over the Amazonis Planitia region of northern Mars. In the area observed, paths of many previous whirlwinds, or dust devils, are visible as streaks on the dusty surface.
The active dust devil displays a delicate arc produced by a westerly breeze partway up its height. The dust plume is about 30  meters in diameter.
The image was taken during the time of Martian year when that planet is farthest from the sun Just as on Earth, winds on Mars are powered by solar heating. Exposure to the sun’s rays declines during this season, yet even now, dust devils act relentlessly to clean the surface of freshly deposited dust, a little at a time.
Dust devils occur on Earth as well as on Mars. They are spinning columns of air, made visible by the dust they pull off the ground. Unlike a tornado, a dust devil typically forms on a clear day when the ground is heated by the sun, warming the air just above the ground. As heated air near the surface rises quickly through a small pocket of cooler air above it, the air may begin to rotate, if conditions are just right.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been examining Mars with six science instruments since 2006. Now in an extended mission, the orbiter continues to provide insights into the planet’s ancient environments and how processes such as wind, meteorite impacts and seasonal frosts continue to affect the Martian surface today. This mission has returned more data about Mars than all other orbital and surface missions combined.
More than 21,700 images taken by HiRISE are available for viewing on the instrument team’s website http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/.

Those confederate nips

While I didn't love John Carter, I did have lot's to look at during the movie.  I will say, he has the right proportions for the role.


More of him after the break.

John Carter of Virginia

Last night was an interesting night.  Was invited to an early screening of John Carter and decided to go since I had been hearing good things about the film.  I was excited to see the film since I had liked many of the live action Disney films (Pirates of the Caribbean, Tron) and was ready for a fun adventure.



Did I love the film? No.

Review of film after jump.

Hump Day Treat

Some Wednesday mornings just require a bit of Swedish meat for breakfast.  I have seen this video more times than I should mention and it always entertains and excites in equal measure.  Lord, that Skarsgard looks like he would be a lot of fun to drink with in a pub.

That naughty Franco

I never know what to make of James Franco.  However, I do know that he looks quite good in photos.  I guess that's all I need.



More JF after the cut.

The only thing that looks good in that Battleship movie trailer...

..is Alexander Skarsgard. Nuff' said.       


                                                 

My end of season Walking Dead Predictions

My guesses as to what will happen..none of this or all of this could be true.

  • Shane will die (sadly) but will be zombiefied after dying.
  • We learn the secret that was whispered to Rick in the finale last season.
  • The secret is that all the survivors are infected with the virus. You can either be activated by bite or by death.
  • Andrea will find out she is pregnant. Setting up her redemption storyline.
  • Lori (at some point) will lose the baby.
  • Herschel won't make it off the farm.
Dunno if this will turn out...but it sure is fun speculating!

Crazy zombie killers are hot.

I have had a crush on Shane since the first season.  There is just something about a crazy man who can kills zombies that makes me want to drop down. 
More drool worthy Jon Bernthal after the jump. Yes, there are a lot of photos.  Can you ever have too much?
