The Walking Dead #Trailer


#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan


 



Omg omg omg omg, the trailer is out for AMC's new series The Walking Dead! I briefly touched on the series a couple of weeks ago in this post. They've got some amazing peeps doing this show! I've been reading the comics (and loving them), so it'll be very cool to see how they adapt it into a weekly show. 


The comics are about a cop, Rick, who wakes up after being in a coma for a month to find himself right in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. After eventually finding his wife and son, he helps lead a group of survivors in search for a new place to settle. That's the short version. The great thing about the comics, is that The Walking Dead isn't about the zombies as much as it's about the way people change under duress. It's amazing seeing the character development. Rick is a much much different character in #25 than he was back in issue #1. If you're a comic fan, this is a definite read!


So, I made you read through all that with promise of a trailer. Well, fine! Here you go.

#TrueBlood S03E10

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan

 

 

Spoiler alert! I will be talking about Season 3, Episode 10.

 

Talk about another intense episode of True Blood. Season 3 just keeps throwing me for a loop. Let's see what happened in this week's episode.

 

We finally figure out what Sookie is, but a fairy? I mean, she has cool powers and what not, but I don't know how I feel about that. Her relationship with Bill has been changing dramatically. If you remember back to the end of Season 2, she was ready to marry him. Now, she doesn't even trust him. Her relationship with Eric has become quite interesting as well.

 

We saw that passionate kiss that Eric shared with Sookie. The question is, does he really care for her? Why does he end up abducting her at the end of the episode? I think he might be acting for the greater good (or at least that's what is being hinted at), but that almost seems out of character for Eric. I'm sure it will all make sense when we are able to see the big picture.

 

Talking about kisses, Tara and Jason had an intimate moment. In episode 9, Jason saved Tara from Franklin which seems to have reignited Tara's feelings towards Jason. How does Jason react to the kiss? By telling Tara that he shot Eggs. Way to be sensitive dude. Later on in the episode, Jason finds a jaguar in his house. No not the car, the freaky deeky cat. And who does that happen to be? None other than his love interest, Crystal. Now, when she argues with her father, it is hinted that they aren't shifters. The question is... what are they? And how do they know so much about everyone else?

 

Oh boy... Sam Merlot. We've all this time from season 1 feeling sorry for Sam. He's the nice guy, the boss, and the one that always has good intentions. Of course, that was too good to be true. We see a much darker past that was to be expected. Everyone has skeletons in the closet, but this was crazy. Not only was Sam a jewel thief, but a murderer to boot. His love interest and partner sold him out and stole his "catch." Sam find them in the woods and one things leads to another, he ends up killing them both. Killing his love interest could have been considered an accident, but the man she was with... Sam executed him. This tooooootally changes Sam's character. This makes him the biggest hypocrite ever. Let's see where this goes.

 

How about the Lafayette and Jesus acid trip? We find out some interesting back story on both characters' family trees. Witchcraft, sorcery, voodoo... whatever you want to call it. There were some crazy things going on. Somehow I feel that all this back story is irrelevant because I feel that Jesus is going to get killed off. That's right, I'm saying it now. I could be wrong, but who knows? Seeing as True Blood is based on a series of books, Lafayette shouldn't even be alive. He dies in the first book! So, really, anything is possible.

 

Russell appears to be just as crazy as ever. The homage to Talbot was interesting as long as "interesting" means sick and twisted. I'm very curious to see how Russell is going to be stopped. It appears Eric has a plan to use Sookie against Russell without turning her over to him. Hmmm, guess we'll have to wait and find out what happens next week!

 

P.S. I'm happy that Hoyt and Jessica are together. And Tommy is a douche. Then again, it's because of him that she admitted to being in love with Hoyt.

 

P.P.S. Congratulations to Stephen Moyer (Bill) and Anna Paquin (Sookie) getting married IRL! Check out her fancy ring.

The Human Calculator

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan

 

 

 

 

Remember that thing we learned in school called math? No? Me neither, but this guy is absolutely nuts. Rüdiger Gamm has an unbelievable talent for numbers. Who needs a calculator when you can use your brain? This is soooooooo amazing!

 

 

How? How is this possible? I can't even begin to understand. Are there any readers out there that have interesting talents? A "super power" if you will? Email me at Morgan@talknerdytomelover.com  and perhaps we can share it with the world!

#MovieReview: #Fanboys

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan

 

 

 

 

 

I know this movie came out in 2008, but Kyle Newman's Fanboys deserves some mad props. If you haven't seen it, this is something worth adding to your movie collection. Fanboys is rich with amazing cameos such as David Denman, Christopher McDonald, Seth Rogan, Danny Trejo, Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, and... wait for it... keep waiting...  William Shatner. The list goes on and on, but you get the idea. Although the cameos are amazing and outright hilarious, it's the story that really makes the movie.

 

The movie is about four Star Wars fan boys who were friends in high shcool that journey cross-country to sneak into Skywalker Ranch to see Star Wars: The Phantom Menace before it's theatrical release. Despite his unintentional separation from the group after high school, Eric (Sam Huntington) happens to run into his old friends at a Halloween party. The idea is thrown around to go on this epic adventure which Eric originally finds crazy. The next day Hutch (Dan Fogler) and "Windows" (Jay Baruchel) fill Eric in on the dreadful news; his best friend Linus (Chris Marquette) who he hasn't seen in three years, has terminal cancer. Through some persuasion, their journey ensues taking them across the United States to Skywalker Ranch with some crazy stops along the way. After getting into some trouble with the law along the way, they meet up with their friend Zoe (Kristen Bell). After enlisting her help, they find themselves at Skywalker Ranch where their ultimate test awaits.

 

Guys, this movie is amazing! I'm a huge Star Wars nerd, so this hit a special chord for me, but that's not to say that you won't enjoy it too. Kyle Newman did a fantastic job with this movie and I wish him the best of luck on all of his future movies. ;)
