Cool Shit 2/7

So it looks like the comic book series Preacher has at least been given a green light to be made into a series on AMC. And I can't see how it will stay true to the comics. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying that's just going to be a point of contention after every episode on the internet with people grumbling about it. You know, like every other television show. While Game of Thrones doesn't follow the books religiously, that decision isn't due to "controversial content," it's more to keep the flow best for television. Also, it's HBO and they supplement with nudity. I don't see AMC being able to do that.

Here's a calming article about why the volcano under Yellowstone probably isn't going to erupt soon. Of course, I'm sure there might be some people out there who think this is exactly the type of article that would be released if the volcano was going to erupt soon. So this might not actually be helping. Draw your own conclusions!

Ok, so Amazon is getting into the original content ring and attempting to change the game a little. They have financed 10 new pilots (5 kid shows, 5 adult shows) and then are giving its members an opportunity to vote on the ones they like best. I have no idea if this is going to work or not.

Blue zones. Places on the Earth where people have a higher age expectancy. Either these are places that have mystical properties and we should all flock to them immediately, or people there just have a healthier lifestyle that we could learn from.

Because we, as a society are apparently running out of insane things to do, someone is going to climb Mt. Everest and then jump off in a wing suit. On live television.

Want to see what the networks are developing in the way of comedies for 2014? Then this is your lucky day!

Cool Shit 11/18

What is the fascination with this show? The first few episodes of season 1 were decent, but it went to poop after that. And now it's coming back for a 4th season? What pictures does Veena Sud hold?

Meanwhile AMC is going in the opposite direction, looking for fare that will push the boundaries. Preacher is definitely that show. While this news suggests it will get made, I wouldn't hold your breath. This comic book series has a long history of almost getting made. If you're unfamiliar with the comic book, here's a quick summary of what it offers.

Everything you knew about eating apples is wrong.

There are so many awesome things going on with this video of The Bar Kays performing "Soul Finger," the best possibly being with nothing plugged in, the entire band is simply pantomiming the performance...



It used to be just the simple mention of the word "shark"would be enough to keep people out of the ocean. But now I think I would take an army of sharks over this squid type creature they have found in the Gulf of Mexico.

A down economy means black market food items. Here's a look at recent thefts of hauls. Of course, I have no idea where one would pick up black market nutella, but if you have a source, I'm all ears!

Thelonius Monk. Paris. 1969. Listen.
