Two decades after the release of Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, Bill & Ted 3 is still coming together, albeit rather slowly. Back in April, star Alex Winter tweeted that he’d received a finished draft of the script, but now, nearly a year later, the project doesn’t seem to have moved forward much.
Asked for an update on the third film, Keanu Reeves told The Independent, “Yeah, we have a script. We’re trying to put it together. It’s a good script too.” But the Wyld Stallyns reunion may not happen for some time yet. Earlier this week, Winter tweeted, “Script done? Check. -We love it? Check. -Green light? Working on it!” [Collider]

Man Sues AMC theaters for too high of prices for concessions.
Wish I was kidding. Joshua Thompson of Detroit, Michigan was so enraged that he had to shell out $8 for concession food stuffs that he started a class action law suit. Yeah, the prices are high, but something you need to realize is that theaters make almost ZERO money from movie ticket sales. The price for renting a film is astronomically absurd. But this is how it works. In order for the theater to turn a profit and continue to show these movies they need to make money in other ways, similar to how music stores sold candy, shirts and toys, trying to make up more profit. Damn, maybe I should sue Little Caesars for charging 2 Fucking Dollars for crazy bread when just a year ago it was only $1! C’mon, everybody, let’s go burn them down!

An Evil Dead bento box.
She likes WHAT kind of flavor?
Holy living shit… the kids from Magic School Bus grew up to be the kids from Captain Planet.
Watch the first 10 minutes of THE FP
I know I’ve said it before and I will say it again, Holy shit, I have to see this movie. Now that we’ve had a whole year with the trailer just making us salivate for more, we finally get a taste for the first 10 minutes of the film that opening March 16, 2012.
Yes, Junk will be going to see this in the theater. The only problem is that no theaters in this state that I can find are opening the film. No word on the FP showing anywhere in Illinois. Way to fuck up again, Illinois.
In case you haven’t seen it, check out the trailer here or below.
Colonial Viper Mark II Build
One thing that I never really got into doing as a kid was building models. I always admired people who could sit on a chair, patiently, and just put pieces together and watch glue dry (at least that’s what modeling was for me).
However, old adult me is so pissed off at the Lego corporation. Why? Those goddamn awesome Star Wars kits you can buy. When I was a kid you had all these oddly shaped pieces in varying random colors, and never enough of what you needed. So all my X-Wing build out attempts ended up looking like a blocky spaceship, designed by Efrahm the Retarted Rabbit, and mostly all green and blue. Star Wars had been out since 1977, you couldn’t have thought to put out a kit sooner than that?! Jerks.
But I digress.
So I didn’t get why kids would willfully want to sit in a chair and watch glue dry. Right, that’s where we were. My childhood mind was full of sugar and sunshine, and I couldn’t sit still for more than 5 minutes. So asking me to sit and watch things dry, or attempt to put little tiny pieces of plastic onto other pieces of plastic, and hope they didn’t fall pretty much ended up with me saying, “Fuck this noise”, and flipping the table as I walked out.
I’m older now, and we’d like to think I’m a little more mature. So, as a patience exercise I’m working on my first model build. Doc-Oz peaked my interest in this cool world of geekery, and I’ve gotta say, I’m really glad he did. This is proving to be one hell of an awesome experience.
The Model Of Choice: Colonial Viper Mark II from Battlestar Galactica.
Model Company: Moebius Models
The Process: Using a Photoetch kit supplied by Paragrafix and a lighting kit supplied by VoodooFX. I’m going to craft, light, and rock this badass model like nobody has ever seen.
Skills Needed: Bowhunting Skills, Nunchuck Skills, Soldering Skills, Basic Motor Skills
Check out the videos of my progress so far below!
Since that last video post I have also gotten the cockpit’s photoetch (the gold stuff) completely finished and all the holes drilled out.

Awesome Rare Star Trek Photos – BTS
Birdofthegalaxy’s Flickr page is outstanding.
It’s chock full of really awesome Star Trek photos of just…well, every aspect of Star Trek.
Who is Birdofthegalaxy, you ask. Well, check out their Flickr bio:
I am a very long time Star Trek fan. I bought a lot of film clips (in this context single frame 35mm movie positives) in the early Lincoln Enterprises and Star Trek convention days and have again recently added to the collection through on line auctions and networking. This flickr site is my way to share images that are rare or special in some way for the fans of Star Trek TOS. The majority of the images are digital scans and restorations from original film frames I personally possess in my collection, a few are my restored digital images from photos, computer files, or film clips I have borrowed or been sent.
Much has been written about the impact of Star Trek on science, entertainment, and our culture in general. There is not a lot of space for “new” perspectives on this amazing history. However, the advent of digital scanners and great restoration tools like photoshop make it possible to view these discarded production images in a quality that likely surpasses what the original buyers saw from our old slide projectors. So, for all fellow fans of Star Trek, television production techniques of the 1960s, or science fiction history here are some of my favorite images. Enjoy!
So without futher adieu…here are some sweet images!
