Chiller Theatre April 2012



Another Chiller has passed us by. But, what a time it was! While, I may not have gone up to as many celebs as I have in the past, I can tell you that I had the most fun, I ever have! And, I have been going to this event for years!

My friend Alan picked up Baldwin and I early in the morning. Then we met up with Pat. And, a little later I met up with Kristie, Kristin P., Mike, and Erika. This meant that at this Chiller, I had myself an entourage of the most awesome friends and fellow fans, ever!

The first celeb I went up to was the lovely Melina, former WWE women's champion. She was sitting there with the very sweet and beautiful Rosita of TNA. Rosita wasn't signing sadly, as she was just sitting in with her friend. Regardless, they both talked up a storm with Erika and me and were sweethearts. The internet loves to talk to talk shit, but I am here to say that Melina is so sweet and nice, in person. Both of them were.

The first celeb I actually payed to meet was Lilian Gracia, who has sung the National Anthem at WWE events and was/ sometimes still is a ring-announcer for them. She was also very sweet and friendly and happy to talk to us. We got a Polaroid with her.

The only other celeb I met was Maryam D'Abo who was one of my fav Bond girls growing up. She signed my DVD of The Living Daylights, which is easily my fav Timothy Dalton Bond film. She said she had never seen this release, in particular. I told her it was an older rerelease, 2007 to be precise, and that I had gotten it as a birthday gift.

Between the fun we had lunch, hung around the con, and bought lots of cool shit. I got myself a stunning Suspiria t-shirt from a guy who was selling his art. I have seen his art in Horrorhound and Rue Morgue magazines. Amazing! I also bought myself, a Blue Velvet tee. I saw that shirt at a horror tee site and wanted it as soon as I saw it. When, I spotted it towards the end of the con itself, when Kristin D. got herself a sweet Misfits tee, I had to buy it. It took them a while to find my size, but they eventually did. Rejoice!! I also got blu-rays of Zombie, Intruder, Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except!, and Frankenhooker. 


Finally the party came and we partied harder than anyone!! I mean we had a fucking blast!!!! And, of course the Dead Elvi kicked fucking ass.  At one point Bebe Buell joined them onstage. She has a great voice!!

In all, I had such a fucking blast that this one will go down in history. Cause, hanging with your closet and best friends at one of the best cons in the world is gonna always mean total and complete epicness!! Here's to the next one!!!

The 20 Hottest Bond Girls, pt. 2: 10-1

10. Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies- - Exquisitely beautiful and a major ass kicker, Michelle Yeoh's Wai Lin is not only one of the most stunning of the Bond girls, but the single best partner Bond has ever had working with him against and evil-doer in a movie. Her presence is one of many reasons why I think Tomorrow Never Dies is the best of the Brosnan Bond movies.

9. Olga Kurylenko as Camille in Quantum of Solace- - I ain't seen this movie as of this writing, but Kurylenko is an amazing beauty, for further proof check out the unrated cut of the highly enjoyable and ultra-violent Hitman, in which she is full nude!

8. in You Only Live Twice- I LOVE Japanese girls and Wakabayashi is a good representation of their beauty. As this picture shows she has a beautiful smile. She was really good in her role, and as a horror and Godzilla fan feel it necessary to remind you that this beauty also starred in Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster, as well as Dagora: The Space Monster, but I never saw that one. I am gonna have to one of these days.

7. in The Spy Who Loved Me- Her code name is Agent XXX, for chrissakes, she has a great chest (as seen in this pic), a beautiful face, and lovely eyes, how can she not be on this list? Her acting ain't the best, but I don't think it ever hinders or hurts this great movie. Her character is one of the few of the Bond girls that stand on an equal level with him.

6. Talisa Soto as Lupe Lamora in License to Kill- - OK, even as a kid, I never, ever got how Bond picked Cary Lowell over Soto's character in this movie. I mean Lowell is very pretty, but Soto totally smokes her. She is sexy, has eyes that can drive a man crazy with lust, a great skin tone, and a beautiful face. I think Soto is very underrated and should have gotten more work. By the way, she looks AMAZING as Princess Kitana in the enjoyable Mortal Kombat movie.

5. Caroline Munroe as Naomi in The Spy Who Loved Me- - Come on, as a horror fan it would be a sin not to mention Munroe. But, honestly she is one of the sexiest and most beautiful women to ever grace not only Bond, but horror and fantasy films, as well. She is still good looking and having met her at Chiller some years back, I can say she is also very nice in person. Her character, though short lived in the film, is a memorable and sexy villainess.

4. Sophie Marceau as Elektra King in The World Is not Enough- - Not only is Sophie one of the most truly stunning of the Bond girls, with her gorgeous green eyes, sexy accent, hot body, and beautiful face, but her character is one of the best in the entire series. She has really chemistry with Brosnan, so it is too bad that the film is hurt by Denise Richards piss poor acting and total lack of charisma. But, anytime the character of Elektra is on the screen, the movie is right on fucking track.

3. Rosamund Pike as - One of the most truly drop dead gorgeous and awe-inspiring beauties to ever be caught on film, it is too bad that Pike is in one of the most ridiculous Bond films, ever. In fact, once she dies, I really stopped caring about this film that features such lame ass shit as an ice castle and a fucking invisible car! But, hey she is so HOT she could melt the polar ice caps or said ice castle!

2. in For Your Eyes Only- I had a HUGE crush on Ms. Johnson after this movie. Bibi's character maybe be too teen bimboish and too young for Bond, but I would have happily taken her off his shoulders! I did have the pleasure of meeting her at Chiller some years ago, and I can tell you she still looks amazing and is very sweet in person. She is a great bonus in my fav Bond movie.

1. Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp in GoldenEye- - For me there is no competition, Janssen is THE most beautiful woman in the Bondverse. I have felt this way since this film came out, and I still feel this way. So unless, Grace Park or such becomes a Bond girl, it will be hard to top Ms. Onatopp. She kills guys by squeezing them between her thighs. This has to be a GREAT way to go!

The 20 Hottest Bond Girls, pt. 1: 20-11

It goes without saying that one of the many things that appeals to Bond fans are the world famous Bond girls. Along with Daisy Dukes and Brooke Shields, they were my earliest crushes. Here now, is my list of the 20 most beautiful. It's a two parter. Unlike most sites out there, I have ZERO interest in kissing anyone's ass or putting someone here just cause everyone else does. So, this list won't look like other lists out there, sorry. Oh, and I would totally kiss the ass of any of the girls on this list...

NOTE: I NEVER met anyone on this list. The autographes shown are NOT mine.

20. Daniela Bianchi as Tatiana Romamova in From Russia with Love- - This is probably were my childhood love for Russian chicks started. Even if, in fact, she is actually fellow Italian, but I di not know that back, then. Anyways, I always found her to be very sexy and enticing in her role in one of the finest Bond films.


19. Luciana Paluzzi as Fiona Volpe in Thunderball- - She's beautiful, Italian, and bad! Need I really explain this? She really is one of the sexiest women in Bond history, and she has a amazing chest to boot! Evil looks delicious, when it comes to her!

18. Jane Seymour as Solitaire in Live and Let Die- - I have always had a soft part for this film, I mean it has a great villain, voodoo, and the beautiful Ms. Seymour. I had a HUGE crush on her as a kid, and she looks simply stunning here. She still looks great, which is an added plus. Solitaire can read my fortune any day she likes!


17. Caroline Bouquet as Melina Havelock in For Your Eyes Only- - I think she has one the most beautiful faces in the entire Bond franchise. Plus, she has stunning eyes. She also has great legs used to great effect in the best of the Bond movie posters. Chicks who seek revenge on evil doers should always look this good. Bonus! This is my fav Bond film!

16. Izabella Scorupo as Natalya Simonova in Goldeneye- - Smart, spunky, and beautiful, I really liked her character in Goldeneye. What is even more amazing is the fact that she is even more beautiful, now. I wanna save the world with her... among other things!

15. Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in Dr. No- - Come on guys, she started in the first Bond film and looks KILLER coming out of the sea, how can she not be on this list?! I would love to help her look for sea shells!

14. Tanya Roberts as Stacy Sutton in A View to a Kill- - OK, so her role is not the best, and this movie ranks as on of the worst Bond films... But, Roberts is an amazing beauty. She has a flawless face and stunning light, blue eyes. And, she still looks great!

13. Maryam d'Abo as Kara Milovy in The Living Daylights- - She is a beautiful cello player that is not very good with a sniper rifle! One of my long fav Bond babes, I am a big fan of Ms. d'Abo. She is another one who still looks amazing.

12. Maria Grazia Cucinotta as Cigar Girl in The World Is Not Enough- - Her role is a small one, but she manages to be involved in a kick ass chase scene with Bond. Too bad, she kills herself. Couldn't she switch roles with Denise Richards (who really hurts the film)? Still this GORGEOUS Italian goddess is a sight to behold. I am sure she would have looked sexy smoking one of those cigars!

11. Eva Green as Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale- - One of the many things that made Casino Royale such an amazing film was the absolute, stunning beauty of Eva Green. She has a beautiful face and truly gorgeous eyes. Plus, she was great in her role and her relationship with Bond is the most touching the series since Diane Rigg (who only barely did not make this list) in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I never seen it, but she was nude in a film. Go look for her pics on the net. It is well worth it!

The Top 5 James Bond Films of All Time



With Quantum of Solace opening up this Friday, this felt like the right time for me to make this list. I been a James Bond fan ever since I was kid. I always wanted to be like him. I have seen every single one of the movies in the theaters since Licence to Kill came out and will do so again with this one. I think the series got too campy and silly at some points, in particular with Die Another Day with it's ice castles, invisible cars, and the horribly overrated Halli Berry. But, thank God the series hit one of it's highest notes with Casino Royale. Anywho, here are my five favorite Bond movies.

5. - Considered by many to be the best in the series, and from a critical standpoint, it probably is. This movie defines the series: the girls, the car, the action, the villains, the gadgets. A perfect film that still holds up all these years later. Goldfinger and Oddjob are amongst the series best bad guys. Pussy Galore is gorgeous and has THE single greatest name in cinema history. Connery is, of course, in top form. An American movie classic.

4. - While, George Lazenby only played Bond once, he manages to play Bond in one of the best entries in the series. What can be said about a movie where Telly Savalas plays Ernest Stavro Blofeld, the evil head of SPECTRE, and arch-enemy to James Bond? Savalas is great in the role of course, and the ending is one of the best, not just in the series, but movie history. Plus, the beautiful Daine Rigg is great as Tracy; Draco the only Bond girl to ever marry our hero.

3. - My favorite Sean Connery (who is my favorite Bond, by the way) Bond film. And how could it not be? First off, the action is kick ass. Donald fucking Pleasance plays Blofeld! Conenry is in it. Akiko Wakabayashi, one of the most beautiful Bond women ever, is awesome as Aki, the main Bond girl in the film. And, Connery is great as Bond. I mean how could this not be one of my favorite films, ever? Oh, and I LOVE that poster! Wish that could be me!

2. - I was skeptical of Daniel Craig playing bond, but man, this movie prove me wrong. He is THE best Bond since Connery. I love the way he plays Bond with such a cool, cocky, arrogant, and cold style. And, this film is not only one of the best Bond movies ever made, but one of the best action films. Le Chiffre is one of the greatest and coolest villains in Bond history. Eva Green is with a doubt one of the most beautiful Bond girls ever. She looks like a doll. What I really liked was that this served as a great point to restart to franchise. It serves as an excellent origin story. The serious, gritty tone and hard hitting action scenes give the film an edge the series has not seen in ages. Gone is the silliness and campiness that sort of hurt the franchise. This is truly one of the best film of the last few years and one that only gets better with each viewing.

1. - My all time favortie Bond film. This Roger Moore classic is perfect in my opinion. Not as campy as some of the Bond films he is in, this one feels more like one of the earlier films in the series. The opening of him going to his wife's grave site and then finally dispatching Blodfeld is one of the most memorable moments in the entire series. This film also contains some truly amazing action scenes. I love the chase through the snow! I love Carole Bouquet as Melina Havelock, the beauty that joins Bond as she searches for vengeance for the death of her father. She is a stunning, awe-inspiring beauty. But, to me it is Lynn Holly Johnson as the skating beauty Bibi Dahl that is THE hottest babe in the movie. In fact, she and Famke Jansen of Goldeneye are the two most beautiful Bond babes ever, well to me anyways. In all, I been a fan of this fun, ass kicking, and all around awesome film since I was kid. It has a real special place in my heart, and thus tops this list.

The 10 Greatest Guy Heroes Ever

With the release of the awesome Dirty Harry DVD box set, i thought it would be fun to run through the 10 greatest guy heroes, ever. they are all badass and are a man's man. Here they go:
10. Iron Man - I could have chosen Batman, but Tony Stark is a cooler "guy hero", if only because he does not lead as a dark a view on things, he is rich, drinks (perhaps harder than anyone on this list being a recovering alcoholic and all), gets lots of hotties, has awesome battle suits to kick evil ass, plus he has a fucking porn mustache. How cool (or not) is that?!

9. Indiana Jones - OK, so the last one was kind of bleh, but ignore it. He gets hot babes and battles Nazis and evil cults and other assorted low lives. And, he does it all with a nice bit of attitude. And, yet somehow, he finds the cool artifact!

8. Marion Cobretti - What do you get when Dirty Harry meets Rambo? Why Cobretti from Cobra of course! Bad ass gun, tooth pick in mouth, and cool car, this dude is one of the coolest cops, ever!

7. Wolverine - Listen the dude kills, fucks hot babes, smokes (but can't die from cancer), has a healing factor, fucking claws come out of the back of his fists, drinks, and has a bad attitude, of course, he is on this list!

6. Snake-Eyes - Despite being mute, there is no more badass G.I. Joe than Snake-Eyes. he is a ninja, has killed lots of bad guys, and gets the hot redhead (Scarlett!). Oh, yeah and he has a pet wolf, how cool is that?!

5. John J. Rambo - In the shoot-em up world, there is no greater one-man army than Rambo. The guy can take on asshole cops, Nam, Soviet, or Burma soldiers and bury their asses. Plus, in the second one he scored a hot Asian girl. that she got snuffed is a different story, but hey, the bad guys got it for doing that. Plus, he always he has the best speeches, even with Stallone's garbled delivery!

4. The Punisher - Of all comic-book heroes none are more deadly than the Punisher. In a world were heroes allow their enemies to live, Castle puts the fuckers six-feet under. And, he has no super powers, which makes that much cooler, in my book.

3. Paul Kersey - Film's definitive vigilante, Death Wish's Kersey takes vengeance on the scum of the world. He does what many wish they could. And, how badass, and awesome, is it, when a man his age mows down scumbag punks in Death Wish III?

2. Dirty Harry - He is the work model for the loner hero. All others came from him. The cop that will do whatever it takes to kick the ass of the bad guy. He has the most bad ass lines, and is not above making a perp suffer (witness him stepping on sick-o villain, Scorpio in the classic original).

1. James Bond - He is pretty much the guy, every dude wants to be. I mean I have wanted to be Bond since I was a kid. He has a license to kill, is well dressed, beats the bad guys, gets all the girls, travels the world, saves the day, has the cool car, and the best gadgets. Do i really need to explain this one?
