There has been a lot of noise about this musical online so I interested to see it if I had the chance. I’m a very big fan of musicals and shows, but its rare that I have a chance to be in New York to see them at the time of their showing, and some run for yours but I missed them. This time around I had the chance to go see the controversial Spider-Men Turn Off The Dark. It became one of the most expensive productions in Broadway history at the cost of 65 Million, and since the beginning of the show it has been plagued with issues from malfunctioning stunts, to injuries, and cast leaving with new ones being added.

After hearing so much about it I really wanted to see it, it couldn’t have been as bad as many people were saying and honestly it wasn’t. As a huge comic fan I was very excited to see what they were planning on doing. It was an exciting musical to watch and it was more like a show from Las Vegas with all the acrobatics and machinery involved then it is a Broadway musical. But something that I found strange is that they took a very strange approach to the story and modified about 40% of it which I didn’t care for too much. The story was decent and the action around the theater was a lot of fun but you can imagine that one of these guys can fall on the crowd, they get really close. The slow scenes were a bit annoying but the bad guy playing the Green Goblin was very funny and was the best actor in the whole musical. It has more action then the usual musical and kids really seem to love the show but its not for everyone, and comic fans love Spidey but the show just isn’t a fit for fans.

The way these guys can move makes me think there bones are made of jello, and some moves just look freaky! Watch the video!

Parkor insanity at its finest, this is one of the best Parkor videos I have seen. The cinematography is fantastic and I love how the cameras shift with the stunts, action shots all around London.

I can’t wait for the release of this movie, and this short preview looks insane. I usually try not to see previews but this movie is going to be amazing. Ryan Renolds is going to be a great Green Lantern, and I forget Blake Lively was in the movie, and the way the Lanter Suit powers up is fantastic.

Parkour and Martial Arts takes a lot of skill to perform, now these guys take parkour, martial arts, free running, acrobatic stunts and blend them all together for performances, commercials, tv, and movies. What these guys are capable of is mind blowing, they are defying gravity at certain points and I love how the camera follows them in their flips, made me spin my head while looking at the screen. I would love to see them live!

Who would have thought a TV musical series about a glee club would have been so damn popular? It’s just such an addictive show, and everyone seems to enjoy it.

GQ recently did a sexy little photo shoot with a few actors from the show which includes Lea Michele, Dianna Agron, and Cory Monteith.

I’m a big fan of this show but GQ seemed to have taken it to a different angle and played out the sexy side of Glee. Looks like they are having a lot of fun in this photoshoot but there seems to be controversy surrounding the photoshoot but I think they are just being ridiculous. I just think that Cory is one lucky bastard!

Sonos is the best premiere music system that you could ever want, integrates with almost everything last.fm, Rasphsody, Sirius XM Radiio, Rhapsody, Pandora, and all other music services. That doesn’t include it’s great music integration with iTunes, all your playlists, with album meta data and album covers. Now Sonos have released their new iPad Application which is amazing on the iPad, full integration, control of every aspect of this system. I have one in my room and on in the diwaneya, I like listening to music whenever I’m working on something. The Sonos Application is fantastic on the iPad, its very smooth interface and excellent integration. Sonos is a bit slow with advancement at times but when they release a new product or software it’s always a solid and excellent product. If you don’t have the Sonos system you really don’t know what you are missing out and the iPad application is an amazing addition to this music system.

This is as geeky as it gets for nerdy ideas, they have taken the alphabet and presented in visual form which relates to sci-fi or comics. Some of these ideas are pretty cool, some risque and the favorites being H and O. It takes a creative mind to put something likes this together, some are better then the others but still lots of fun.

There was always something special about the cartoons back in the day, I would be stuck to the screen. I remember Mumra from Thunder Cats really scared me and pissed me off, I don’t know how many things I broke swinging a stick around saying “Thunder Cats, Thunder Cats, Thunder Cats! HOOOOOOO!”, I remember even hitting our Sony Tri-Color TV back in the day, and it weighed around 60 Kgs.

My List

• Thunder Cats – The best cartoon of the 80s, Panthera was cool always making gadgets and still kicking ass
• Voltron – The best of the 80s
• Silver Hawks – They were really cool!
• Centurions – Man and Machine Power Extreme! I wanted to be Ace McCloud, always wanted to fly!
• Brave Star – Some many different powers!

Worthy Mentions

• He Man – I wanted his tiger!
• GI Joe

I have been saying I want an Iron Man suit for the longest time, but looks like one fan went ahead and made his own War Machine suit from the initial spy releases of the images. At first I thought these were promo images from the movie, but turns out this is a real suit made by a fan, its fantastic and looks as good as the movie.

Even Jon Farveau the director of Iron Man and Iron Man 2 loved the suit so much he tweeted about it, the proportions of the suit is fantastic. Anthony Le did an amazing and realistic job of the War Machine suit.
