Goosebumps Blog Rant (well sort of)

Hey Guys,

Remember Goosebumps!  This series of books was created by world renowned author R.L. Stine, and he also created the Fear Street series.  This man is the GOD of children horror books.  I won't say that all the books in the series were perfect, but they did have a strong effect on helping kids read more.  That was the main goal of R.L. Stine.  To get kids to continously read.  Well, Mr. Stine, that's exactly what you did to kids in the 1990s.  I remember seeing these books everywhere in the library and bookstore.  The covers of the book were created by Tim Jacobus. The one that scared me the most was the Haunted Mask.  That thing scared me the most.  I hated any time that saw that thing.  Basically if you were a kid around that time, you know (or had some sort of idea) of what Goosebumps was.

The first Goosebumps book was published in 1992, and it was called "Welcome to Dead House."  The book itself was interesting.  It was about a family would moves into a town called Dark Falls.  Seriously, would you move into a town called Dark Falls?!  Anyways, it turns out the people of town are zombies and they need human blood to survive (turning the family into zombies as well).  Apparently, they are vampire zombies, because sunlight can kill them.  I'd go Blade on their asses!!

The family gets away, and kill all the zombies.  Or do they?  One of the main things that made the Goosebumps books interesting is the fact that R.L. Stine had major twist endings.  The realtor who sold the family the house is a zombie as well, and while the family is leaving, he is selling the house to another family.  The family then high-tail it out of Dark Falls.

What douche bags!! Why couldn't they warn the new family? JERKS!!



The endings of these books had a twist ending at the end.  The books themselves were like a roller coaster for kids.  At the end of the ride they were safe (maybe minor psychological damage, but they were okay).  The original book series had 62 books (1992-1997).  R.L. Stine eventually made the Goosebumps Horrorland series, which is still ongoing now, due to the demand for more books.  The guy was writing a book almost every month during the 90s.  I think the man deserves a couple of years to recuperate. The book series has been translated in 35 languages including English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, German, Polish, Thai, and many more.  Because of the decline in sales in Goosebumps, Scholastic's (the distributing company) revenue dropped 40%.  That's amazing that the fate of one book series could have impacted an entire corporation.

And we all know the TV series too.  R.L. Stine made sure that his favorite stories were made into episodes first, which included the "Haunted Mask" and "Stay Out of the Basement."  The TV show was mediocre, but it still has its nostalgic value.  That is why I am making a TOP 5 BEST Goosebumps episodes review.  You want to know what they are, well you'll have to wait for the review (so I can figure them out myself).  Just kidding!  Thanks guys.

Enjoy this awesome theme song that introduced every episode!!


Almost 1,000 Page Views + Reviews

Hey everybody,

I am happy to say that I have almost 1,000 page views on here.  I am very happy that there are people out there who actually read what I write on here.  It feels so good to see those numbers.  For a treat I am going to get my butt into gear and make a video review.  I don't know if I will be able to get a review out this week, but I will try to get one out.  It'll either be "Tentacolino" or a series of episodes of my Top 5 favorite Goosebumps episodes (maybe I'll save that for Halloween, I'm not sure at this time).  It'll mostly likely be the Goosebumps series thing.  You guys don't know how bad "Tentacolino" is!  IT'S SO BAD!!!  I am really excited that I am reaching that 1000 mark.  Thanks again guys!!

My next blog will list my TOP 5 Goosebumps episode!  Thanks guys!!!

Title Cards for Movie Reviews

Hey guys,

I'm really excited for the next two weeks.  I am going to Odyssey Con in Madison.  I am dressing up as Major Kusanagi from "Ghost in the Shell."  For anime tomorrow, my class in spending the whole day tomorrow watching Neon Genesis Evangelion.  I am so hyped for this.

For the Odyssey Con, this will be my first cosplay and I am so excited for it.

I have a picture that my very talented friend, (THANK YOU MARY), did for my review of Little Mermaid 2.  You all know how much I hate that movie.  Mostly likely she will be doing my title cards for the opening of each review, and I am more than happy to have her on board.  She is a very talented artist and she has an account with DeviantArt if you want to check her out.  I'll see if she can make another title card for my "Tentacolino."

 Her DeviantArt account is http://aeylis.deviantart.com/.

Here is her drawing of one of my first "potential" reviews.  Sorry it's in reverse.

Is anyone willing to help me review "Tentacolino"?!

Hey guys, guess what I will definitely do for my next review!  TENTACOLINO!!!! Dun-Dun-Dun.

Obviously, this will take every ounce of my strength to get through this abomination.   If any of you video reviewers are willing to help me to do a video review of it, I will GLADLY accept your help.  C'mon guys I can't do it alone.  It's just too crappy of a film to do a review on.  At this moment I am watching the movie, and I am crying in agony.  As many of you don't know, this film is the sequel to the widely-hated film "The Legend of the Titanic."  I'm sure that I wrote a previous blog on it, so you can check it out there or you can go to IMDb for a synopsis.  It's dreadful.  However, the sequel is far worse.

Fellow movie reviewers, I am begging for help.  C'mon Cinematic Nutcase, I know you only do movie released in theaters, but can you make an exceptions just this once.  The Patchwork Nerd, I need your creativity to get through this heinous film.  Elena, with your quick funny responses, please help me!!  ANYONE?  PLEASE HELP!!!

This "movie" can burn in HELL for eternity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update:

Like I said before I have started watching the movie, and I have to say that I HATE THIS MOVIE!!  I HATE WITH EVERY OUNCE OF MY BEING!!  IT'S HORRENDOUS!!  IT'S WORSE THAN "NEVER CRY WEREWOLF."  IT'S WORSE THAN "THE LEGEND OF THE TITANIC."  I HATE THIS MOVIE!!!

Here's a preview of the notes that I typed up while watching the first 15 minutes of this thing.

e.    3:31 – Creepy laugh from the husband; That’s a face Chucky would make
f.      3:42 – What incredibly bad voice acting.  I would think they got a robot to do that.  [Do this in a robotic voice]
g.    Villain’s name is Razorteeth.  That’s almost as bad as Dr. Cat’s Meow [Gigantor reference]
h.    3:58 – Yeah, making fun of people with speech impediments is funny
                                               i.     Oh god, the villain’s song is worse than the rapping dog [Maybe I can make a rap battle between the shark and the dog]
                                             ii.     What is going on?  

a.    Wow, I can totally tell that something is wrong with the way you’re smiling
b.    Scarface, Razor teeth – WHO CAME UP WITH THESE NAMES?!
c.     The cheap underwater sound effect is overshadowing the speaking parts
                                               i.     The Little Mermaid never had this problem
d.    2:36 – SHOW DON’T TELL!!!
e.    3:00 – Did the villain just bitch slap his lackey
f.      3:17 – He has to go brush his teeth?! 
                                               i.     Maybe I can do a montage or stupid villains
                                             ii.     Reference of Scar from Lion King saying “I’m surrounded by idiots”
g.    3:45 – Why do we need to see a scene where the villain is flossing his teeth
h.    Why does a shark have a telegram system
i.      Baron Vandertilt?
                                               i.     HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE VILLAIN FROM THE FIRST FILM! EXCEPT WITH RED HAIR!
j.      What? Oddie? What happened to the first octopus?
                                               i.     How does he know they’re alive by just looking at them through the glass?
k.     6:03 – What was up with that KILL BILL vision scope thing?
l.      6:31 – What you’re doing is useless!  Yeah like being in this DAMN movie!!!
m.  6:40 – Wait, why do they need the entire Atlantean army for this?

o.    7:40 – [Add scene where Raven from the Teen Titans says “Is this the part where I’m suppose to be intimidated”]
p.    Does every lackey in this movie have a speech impediment.  8:50 – A breathing apparatus with a spray can?  [Add scene of Neverending Story 2 where the boy wishes for a spray can]

Why isn't Wonder Girl on Young Justice?!

Hey guys!  It's been a long four weeks since we seen each other.  Midterms have been bombarding me these past few weeks.  So lets go ahead and rant about something in the media.

I have been addicted to the television show called "Young Justice" that comes on Cartoon Network.  It's about a group of potential heroes who one day hope to become part of the Justice League.  The main characters of the Young Justice group contain Aqualad (he's black and the leader, Hooray!!), Superboy, Robin (the Richard 'Dick' Grayson version, not Tim Drake), Miss Martian, Artemis, Kid Flash, and Zatanna.  The show itself isn't all that great.  It's SUPER FREAKING AWESOME!!! This is probably one of the greatest superhero TV show that I have ever seen (beside "Batman: The Animated Series").  The story is great, and the animation is top notch.  One of the animators, Philip Bourassa, won an Emmy Award in 2011 for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation.

But what I wanted to talk about here is the fact that Wonder Girl is not in the series.  This really pisses me off!  Wonder Girl is one of my all time favorite comic book character (besides Raven from the Teen Titans).  Wonder Girl is such an awesome character, and she is pivotal in the Young Justice and Teen Titans comics.  So what went wrong here?!

Apparently, there was trouble with the licensing for Wonder Girl, so the writers were unable to include her in the beginning of the series.  However, now the creators announced earlier this year that there were no more problems with the copyrights of Wonder Girl.  YEEESSSS!!!

I am so excited right now!  I really hope that they include her in season 2 (now that season one is almost over).  If they don't have her in the next season, I will go ape shit crazy!  You hear that writers!  Put Wonder Girl on the goddamn show!  Please?


I wonder which version of Wonder Girl will the writers use.  Will they use Donna Troy or Cassandra Sandsmark?  I would really like the writers to use Cassandra Sandsmark.  They could have her adore Wonder Woman so much that she dresses like her (even using a black wig), and soon they discover that she is Cassandra Sandsmark (and that she is really blonde).  I really want them to use Cassandra in this version.  I know that some of the members of the team are from the older version of the comics, but they've changed so much other stuff that using Cassandra wouldn't make much of a difference now.  PLEASE USE CASSANDRA!







To show my love of Wonder Girl (DC Comics) here is some background information on her.

Wonder Girl is a super heroine who is named Cassandra "Cassie" Elizabeth Sandsmark.  She is the daughter of Zeus and archaeologist, Helena Sandsmark.  She heavily idolized Wonder Woman, and she stole magical artifacts so that she could be a super hero.  Upon finding out that her father is Zeus, Cassie begs Zeus for her own powers.  Zeus fulfills her wish, but knowing how his previous children behaved with their powers, he gave her mother the power to temporarily remove them with a single touch.  Helena rarely (if even ever) used this power.  However, Cassie is soon able to draw from her own power (being a demi-goddess), and she is even more powerful than she was ever.  Cassie is considered to be an "Olympian Powerhouse."  It is debatable if Helena can even take away Cassie's powers now that she is not drawing her power from Zeus.

Her primary powers are superhuman strength (she can lift an excess of 100 tons), flight, superhuman speed, agility, and superhuman durability.  Apparently now (look at the picture above), she can create force fields.  Instead of a Lasso of Truth like Wonder Woman, Cassie has a Lasso of Lighting which can channel Zeus's lightening.  Oh yeah, she is a bad ass.  She's even best friends with Kara Zor-El (Super Girl).  What I am interested to see in the "Young Justice" cartoon is how they are going to present Cassie as a potential girlfriend to SuperBoy.  In the comics, SuperBoy and Cassie are in very much in love.  At one point in the comic, they have sex with each other (before SuperBoy's famous death).  Honestly,  I really don't like M'gann in the show.  She's too much a goody-two-shoes.  I just want Cassie to be the "BITCH" and break them up.  SuperBoy and Wonder Girl for life!!
