Batman: The Killing Joke Review
I received this beautiful masterpiece from Amazon and it came with a nice Joker figurine. Bruce Timm brings the Joker right into your brain making you question everything about the world. Witty one liners and anecdotes setting this story far apart from all other comic adventures. The voice of the Joker, Mark Hamill, is cringy, psychotic, and disturbing. If you haven’t seen this or read the graphic novel *Spoilers Ahead Turn Back Now*.
We start off being introduced to Batgirl (Commissioner Gordon’s daughter) as she is on a mission by herself, leading to help from Batman. Batgirl gets distracted by a villain who has a thing for her. Leading her on a scavenger hunt that needs Batman to bail her out again. This leads to a questionable scene where she fights Batman ending up on top of him. Pausing for a second she takes her top off, bra showing into a black screen. Moments later she is looking in the mirror questioning her decision to have sex with Batman. Batman and Batgirl have an awkward barrier between them now, and Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) decides to give up the suit and stick to her athlete routine of running and doing yoga as a librarian. The story picks up big time when Batman and a detective come onto a crime scene, where we see a bunch of people in chairs with big smiles and wide eyes, clearly dead. Making their way immediately to Joker’s cell. Finding out Joker has been replaced by an average guy doppelgänger.
While this is happening, Commissioner Gordon is at his daughter’s place making up for their father-daughter date he missed. Putting together a scrap-book of when Joker first met Batman, a knock on the door! Barbara says she is expecting her friend to come by and gingerly opens the door……to a clown with green hair! A gun is quickly dispensed into her waist by the Joker, as he wastes no time and fires a shot into Barbara right through her spine! Joker’s henchmen grab Commissioner Gordon and begin pummeling him, as his daughter lies on the ground in a pool of blood. It is not shown, but the story clearly implies Joker having his way with Barbara in a very sick psychotic imagination of a rape like scene. This is where the story really begins to get dark.
In a few scenes prior, Joker had purchased a carnival and found a set of freaks to put on display. A bearded woman, a wolf man, a huge giant looking man, as well as a two-headed young child, just to name a few. Joker takes the newly captured Commissioner Gordon to his carnival, leaving him naked in cage. He is dragged along by some terrifying midget-like babies, coming to a ride through hell for anybody that is a father. The Joker belts out a show-tune as the ride continues with screens showing his daughter naked, beaten and bloodied. Laughing with a big smile and questioning why more people don’t go crazy like he does. Throughout the movie we are given flashback and tidbits showing how the Joker became this way. Finding out suddenly that the night of his first robbery, his pregnant wife had been killed in a freak accident. Not having much direction, the Joker is given a “Red Hood” outfit to wear during his first robbery. Of course security is on the scene forcing the plan to audible, leading to an iconic fall into some chemicals by the Joker! Pouring out into the back sewers of Gotham. Joker gets up, seeing his reflection in a puddle during a rainy night. A white face and green hair, has altered his appearance, as he begins to laugh and laugh and laugh! Batman is shown in the hospital with Barbara unable to have any feeling in her lower extremities. The doctor says that Barbara will never walk again. Eventually Batman goes on the prowl and finds Joker at his carnival freak show. Taking on all the freaks single-handedly, making his way to freeing Commissioner Gordon, and chasing down the Joker through a vintage “Fun House.” Winding up in an upside down room where Joker smashes Batman with every object he could find.
Batman fights back knocking Joker down causing him to use his last resource, a gun! They fight back and forth struggling, ending up outside the Fun House with Joker grasping the gun, aiming it at Batman, point-blank range! He pulls the trigger……..and a flag reading Click! Click! Click! is displayed with no bullets left. Joker shrugs it off and tells Batman to finish him off. Batman gives him another option and tells the Joker he wants to help him. Joker is baffled by this, so he tells Batman a long joke, which ironically leads to both of them laughing together. Batman puts his hands on Joker’s shoulders laughing and laughing, ending the movie abruptly! If you wait a minute or two. The post credits scene, show Barbara Gordon in a wheelchair on the phone with her Dad. As she enters into a secret chamber with high-tech computers everywhere, a picture of the Oracle appears on her screen as the scene ends!
This was a lot of fun for me to watch. It really does the story justice, playing out in animation seeing how psychotic the story is. We saw a lot of Batgirl and were introduced to Joker’s back story a little bit. My one complaint was the R-rating! I only remember two curse words, and the implications were R-rated, not what they actually showed. There was some bloody disturbing images but all in all, not R-rated in my view. It is a very dark story, leaving your imagination definitely in question. I absolutely loved it and hope Warner Bros and DC Comics continue to make such wonderful on-screen masterpieces!

‘He’s Back, And It’s About Time!’ – Doctor Who: The Movie Comes To Blu-Ray This September
BBC Worldwide have announced a Blu-ray release for Doctor Who: The Movie. The film was a co-production between the BBC and Universal and was broadcast as a TV Movie on the 27th May 1996 on BBC1 in the UK and 14th May on Fox in the USA. It stars Paul McGann as the Doctor, Daphne Ashbrook as one-off companion Grace Holloway, Yee Jee Tso as Asian-American gangster Chang Lee and Eric Roberts as the Master. To date it remains Paul McGann’s only full television appearance, although he later returned in the 2013 minisode Night of the Doctor and continues to record audio dramas for Big Finish Productions.
The nature of the Blu-ray release is unclear. Whilst it is thought that Universal may hold a film copy of the TV Movie in their vault (which would allow for a ‘true HD’ picture), it is very unlikely that the film will be restored into full HD. The special effects were not made in high definition, therefore would need to be created entirely from scratch and the entire film would have to be re-edited as the movie was originally put together on videotape. Steve Roberts of the Restoration Team (who worked on the previous classic series releases including 2013’s Spearhead From Space Blu-ray) also tweeted ‘People asking about an alleged DW TVM Blu-ray, you know as much as I do’. The likelihood therefore is that this will be an upscale similar to the Blu-ray treatment of Series 1-4.
Amazon’s product description is as follows:
Whilst returning the Master’s remains to their home planet of Gallifrey, the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) crash lands the TARDIS on Earth in end-of-century San Francisco. Gunned down by a street gang, the Doctor is rushed to hospital, where exploratory surgery by Doctor Grace Holloway triggers a regeneration. The Master has meanwhile taken over the body of a paramedic and infiltrated the Doctor’s TARDIS, which he plans to use in his latest scheme to take over the Doctor’s new body and destroy the world. Filmed as the pilot for a revived ‘Doctor Who’ series – tailored to the American market – which subsequently failed to materialise, this feature-length adventure introduces Paul McGann as the renegade Time Lord.
The release is listed as containing two discs on Amazon. Whilst this has yet to be confirmed by BBC Worldwide, it is safe to assume that this will be the case given that the Special Edition DVD release also contained two discs. Whether the special features from the Special Edition DVD will carry over is another matter, although it would be a shame if the Blu-ray doesn’t at least contain the Behind The Scenes location footage and alternate takes. Hopefully there will be some new features too; a retrospective on the TV Movie featuring contributions from Paul McGann and Daphne Ashbrook would be nice.
Doctor Who: The Movie comes to Blu-ray on the 19th September 2016. Hopefully these shoes will fit perfectly and classic series Blu-ray box sets will follow.
Channing Tatum Set To Make A Splash!
The era of remake and reboots, some movies should be left alone. While others need a serious upgrade. Like a movie about a mermaid who visits New York City and falls in love, but how about a merman? How about Channing Tatum as a merman? Yes, Please!
No Merchandising. Editorial Use Only. No Book Cover Usage. Mandatory Credit: Photo by Moviestore/REX/Shutterstock (1606805a) Splash, Daryl Hannah, Tom Hanks Film and Television
Channing Tatum and Jillian Bell will be starring in the gender swap remake of the 1984 movie Splash. The original movie starred Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah as the mermaid. In the 1984 love story/comedy, Hank’s character, as a boy is saved by a young mermaid who later comes back causing all kinds of mayhem in New York City. Eugene Levy and John Candy also starred in the film. Brian Glazer and Ron Howard created the 1984 version and are returning to produce the remake.
Hannah’s character discovers a new world of wonder in on dry land, but things go crazy when she accidentally reveals that she is a mermaid. Tom Hanks finds her and does everything he can to help her. In the end, Hanks ends up joining Hannah in her underwater world.
OK, so Channing Tatum as a merman will be visually pleasing, but think about Tatum as a comedic actor. In the original, Hannah’s character didn’t know anything about the world above water, not even about clothes. So I can only imagine the hilarity that will happen when Tatum’s merman sets foot on land this technological/social media world.
And Jillian Bell is so brilliantly funny. You may remember that she co-starred with Tatum in 22 Jump Street. She has also worked on Eastbound & Down, Workaholics and she’s was a writer for SNL, so she definitely has the comedic prowess to keep up with Tatum.
I’m excited about this one. I wonder if there will be a dance number? One can only hope…

New Star Wars: Rogue One TV Spot Released
So yesterday the first Star Wars: Rogue TV spot dropped to give us another look at what can be expected when the film hit cinemas on December 16th.
The film has been the talk of all major Star Wars fans and has proved very non controversial despite the film bringing in a whole new cast of characters to the franchise and includes a female lead which we all know can cause some concern by a small minded few even in this day and age.
The film has been described as an “Origin Story” and will be part of an Anthology story arc. So without much further ado here is the latest TV spot for Star Wars: Rogue One
Nerdy Nummies!! So Yummy!!
Do you love baking? Do you love scifi, video/computer games, anime, comics and more? Well I have a wonderful YouTube show for you called Nerdy Nummies!!
This absolutely delightful show I recently stumbled upon while randomly clicking on the challenges people post on YouTube, and while doing so I came across the No-Arm-Makeup-Challenge starring Manny Mua (he does make up) and a lady named Rosanna Pasino. While watching this video I heard Mr. Mua introduce her as the star of a show called Nerdy Nummies, and my heart stopped…… WHAT DID HE SAY!!??!! I immediately tapped on her channel and sure enough, there were all these videos, baking videos, where she makes all sorts of wonderful nerd foods! Star Trek cupcakes, Spider donuts from undertale, cupquakes cupcake from 5 Nights at Freddys with Markiplier himself!! Dear goodness the shows are endless it seems.
This young woman has brought to us the delight in cooking with nerd love. I mean, can I just say, thank you, thank you Rosanna. I love to bake myself and am absolutely on cloud nine when I watch these…. OMG I can’t wait to make each and every recipe lol.
She also participates in challenges, and these of course are just as cute and amusing to watch. One of my favs is giant candy challenge (giant candy…. GIANT CANDY.) And where the hell do I find all the giant awesomeness she tastes on this one? Can someone please tell me now?? Ok sorry, little off the topic here… As well as donut challenge, weird cereal challenge, ice cream challenge, and many more nummy nawsomeness (yup, I went there.)
She has such a light and quirky personality that makes her absolutely adorable and a pleasure to watch. She is very silly, and you can tell she enjoys doing what she does on the channel. Plus each recipe is easy to follow, even if you have not ever made a cupcake in your life. And if you don’t want to just watch her make them, you can purchase her nerdy nummy cookbook for yourself for more wonderful cooking extravaganza. I totally recommend everyone should check out her channel, even if you don’t bake, just watch at least once, you may find yourself running to the store for some extra ingredients to try out one of the many fun Nerdy Nummy recipes.
Here’s a link to her channel!!
Pacific Rim 2.. Without Charlie??
Giant monster creatures from the sea, large robots piloted by two heroes to save all of humanity, epic battles and lots of destruction…. If you haven’t guessed it, I’m talking about Pacific Rim. A wonderfully flashy futuristic movie without a lot of depth in the story line department… But still good.
So it’s crazy to say that they are going to make a part two? I mean, I am happy with this, being a girl who grew up watching the old Godzilla movies with my mom. (she was a huge fan of the delayed voice over films starring one radioactive giant lizard) So yes, they should always have more giant robot/monster movies in Hollywood. But the shocker comes from this movie, after not making it as big as one would expect, planning a sequel. Still sounds great to me, and my son will be even more happy. (I raised him to love the Godzilla movies as well, so the legacy continues)
Unfortunately though it doesn’t seem we will be getting back one of the main characters from the film, Mr. Charlie Hunnam, who played old washed-up pilot Raleigh Becket from the first one. This seems odd since he was one of two pilots who managed the Jaegers that won the battle against the Kaiju in the first movie, so you would think he should be somewhere in the second one right? (I mean didn’t they kill the other pilot? Soooo, ya how about we get one of our main heroes back? Then again they may just use the chick…) But according to an interview he gave to Yahoo at ComicCon, he was involved in the sequel at first, but not anymore due to some scheduling issues and apparently “non-creative” conflicts…. Too bad really, he was pretty good looking as well so there goes some of the eye candy 😉
Well regardless of who comes back, I still can’t wait for the sequel to come. As I have mentioned above, I come from a family who loves the giant monster movies and will see this one too, one way or another. ^_^
Pokémoan – Gotta Get ‘Em All! (And Some Fanfic To Get You Started)
Are you a true, hardcore Pokémon fan? Did you always want to take your relationship with Pokémon to the next level, but not know how? Well, now there’s Pokémoan, sex toys for every fanwoman and man! And, as with every Pokémon trainer, you know that you Gotta Get ‘Em All! (Pokémoan – “Gotta Fuck ‘Em All” is a better tagline – come at me for rights.)
Let’s meet your new best friend via Pokémoan’s Pokésex Data:
‘Bulby’ – A grass type Pokémoan. Bulby has a large seed tip making it a very pleasurable friend to have. It’s seed is 5cm wide and 4cm tall and its body is 16cm tall and 3.5cm wide.
Picture the scene – you’re in the middle of the Viridian Forest*, surrounded by the gentle whisper of the wind and rustling of tree leaves as they glint in the light. A twig breaks nearby, and out steps a Bulbasaur, the massive seed on its back throbbing with an insatiable need.
That’s how I’d assume the fantasy would start for those who choose ‘Bulby’ as their starter Pokémoan. Would bet a solid amount of money it devolves into a BDSM scene, considering how Bulbasaur could use Vine Whip. Unfortunately, this kind of genius thinking doesn’t make it into the toy – it’s a solid, traditional, and not too versatile choice for those less adventurous types. Also, that section of the ‘bulb and where it connects into the shaft looks a little uncomfortable no matter where you put it.
*I know you can’t catch a Bulbasaur in the Viridian Forest. It’s a FANTASY.
‘Charmy’ – A slightly thinner, fire type Pokémoan with a flaming tail. Standing 18cm tall and 4cm wide at its widest point Charmy gives intense orgasms everywhere it goes.
You ready for this? Houses in a small mountain village where you have gone for a retreat have spontaneously caught fire. You are running for your life, and are stranded on a grassy hill, flames imminently approaching. You can’t use your Squirtle because you were letting him have a nice rest after putting him through a shit ton of battles recently, and you’re really sorry you put Squirtle up against an Electrobuzz in the last one. Squirtle is probably enjoying a nice spa bath at the moment.
Anyways, you’re up dying on a hill, and this is how your life will probably end – when all of a sudden a wild Charmander breaks out of the wall of flame with a crazy look in his eye. He’s heard your screams and promises to your God in exchange for not letting you die, and one of those phrases was, “I’d even fuck a Charmander!” Charmander lets out a roar and up goes a wall of flame that the other fire can’t penetrate.
But you know who can penetrate you now? Charmander.
As a sex toy, logically it doesn’t make sense – the tip of a Charmander’s tail is literally made out of fire. And I’m not sure how people feel about putting something pointy inside their body. Who knows though? Charmy looks fun and a little dangerous, which is pretty much how I’d sum up that Pokémon.
‘Squirty’ – A water Pokémoan. Squirty has a smooth round head with a large grooved turtle shell on its back. Its bubbly head measures 4cm wide whilst his body measures 6cm wide and 14cm tall.
Remember when I said your Squirtle was relaxing in a nice spa bath? Well, you are now too, especially after your foray with the fire of death. Your eyes are closed, and your head tilted back as you splay out against the bath, when you suddenly feel a gentle lapping between your thighs and a wetness that has nothing to do with the water…
Out of all the Pokémoan toys, Squirty is the most well-integrated one. You can’t actually fuck Bulbasaur’s bulb or Charmander’s tail, but you could play around with Squirtle’s head. Hehe. It doesn’t seem like Squirtle vibrates (maybe the Wartortle will) but still looks like this Pokémoan trainer could do pretty well by this Pokémoan.
‘Piky’ – This small electric type anal Pokémoan is a perfect size for the average Pokémoan trainer. Piky is an extremely cute yet essential addition to your team. Its insertable size is 2.5cm wide by 4cm tall and his tail is 8cm long.
I’m not going to write a Pikachu fantasy. I do hold some things sacred, like my favorite childhood Pokémon.
But you can stick this in your butt and pretend to be a Pikachu! $5 and a Piky that this toy proves to be the most popular of all in establishments where people go around naked and pretend to be Pokémon and engage in fantasies. Is that a thing yet? Pretty sure it exists somewhere. Because the internet.
What are you waiting for?! Go and get ‘em all! Every Pokémoan trainer is different and you’ll want to be prepared for all sorts of various situations like forests and fires and pools. So – do you have what it takes to be a Pokémoan Master?

Could Raj From The Big Bang Theory Be Our New Doctor Who
This could be cool. And who better to play this role than the Big Bang Theory star Kunal Nayyar!
In case any of you don’t know who he is, he plays Rajesh Koothrappali on the Big Bang Theory. Raj is a semi shy Indian boy who is extremely awkward, used to be terrified of women and says the wrong things all the time. The show is going into its tenth season so if you have not seen this, you need to stop reading this right now and start binging out because you are missing a pretty awesome show. You’ve got nine past seasons to catch up on so get on it!
He recently revealed his want to play the Doctor. According to radiotimes.com, while doing an interview he talked about an incident with a fan at ComicCon. The fan had asked him a question about the TARDIS, and Kunal asked “What’s a TARDIS?” and ended up getting a boo down. I hope he knows his stuff a little better now since that incident. This would make or break him in the fans’ eyes for sure.
On the side note here, I think he would be fun to watch as the next Doctor. I personally have loved each actor from past to now who has played this role and think he would make a fine addition to our large Doctor Who family line. And his accent would be fantastic to the ears when he says “sonic screwdriver” and “TARDIS.” ^_^
DO YOU WANT TO BuY A DALEK?????? …SURE!
Ok two things come to mind when hearing this sentence… First, I hear it in the tune of the Disney Frozen song, Do You Want to Build a Snowman (do you want to buy a dalek, and ride him up and down the hall) and two, how much money is in my account right now…
This is actually a TV show in the works. It’s a show where people can bid on Daleks…. And why the hell not right? I mean I would love to have a life size replica in my home. Talk about fantastic!! The show is was looking for potential buyers of a life-sized black Dalek and airs on Tuesday July 26th in Bristol. This Dalek is priced at £2000 (which is more than American cash.) The show this Dalek is being aired on is called “Sell or Swap” where people can bid on a mix of items from antiques, expensive or second hand memorabilia. If anyone has the cash (I wish) or would like to participate in this show, they have a link here to contact: cleodixey@crookproductions.com
This is the actual Dalek in question… EEEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!
I’ve seen life-sized Daleks at the Comic Con here in Portland, and I have my picture with said Dalek while dressed in my Tennant outfit. It was so neat, and it was made of metal I believe… there was a person in there driving around, taking pictures with everyone. You can imagine how many pictures this person had to pose for.. (lol pose) Kind of makes you wonder if they were able to actually get from one destination to the next. Though being the Dalek at a comic con convention would be cool, I personally don’t think I would like the attention, at some point I would be like “dude I have to pee!!” Then again, if I had the voice box of the Dalek too…. Well, that may change things ^_^
