			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to <a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/10/07/scenes-from-the-lego-zombie-apocalypse/" target="_blank">/Film</a> (the best movie blog out there in my opinion), I found out about Flickr member Dunechaser&#8217;s <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dunechase/sets/72157607776271940/" target="_blank">Zombie Apocafest 2008 </a> pictures from this year&#8217;s BrickCon in Seattle. </p>
<p>For more details you can check out the /Film story above or <a href="http://www.brickcon.org/" target="_blank">the official BrickCon site</a>, but either way, you should definitely view Dunechaser&#8217;s pics as a slideshow to get the full effect of this awesome zombie cityscape done entirely with LEGOs. Be sure to keep an eye out for cameos by The Joker, Batman and Spider-Man. The amount of effort these folks put into creating this whole thing is stunning and it comes off as truly awesome. It&#8217;s a must for any horror, zombie or LEGO fans and even Em, who hates zombie movies, really enjoyed it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, this weekend was a little weird, mostly for all of the weird Tarantino-ness that sneaked its way into things. The wife and I headed up north to New Hampshire to visit her folks for Father&#8217;s Day. On Saturday we went to this flea market where I picked up Evil-Lynn from the 2002 Masters of the Universe line along with NECA&#8217;s The Bride figure from Kill Bill. </p>
<p><center><a href="http://oldschool.wizarduniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/killbillandevillynne.JPG"><img src='http://oldschool.wizarduniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/killbillandevillynne.thumbnail.JPG' title='' alt='' /></a></center></p>
<p>Later on, we went to this place called Building 19 where I picked up three books (for $2.98 each). One was the script to Pulp Fiction which I ended up reading for the rest of the day (it reads just as well as it watches), Spike, Mike Reloaded by John Pierson (a book I&#8217;ve heard about on plenty of Kevin Smith DVD commentaries) and Sonata For Jukebox by Geoffrey O&#8217;Brien, a book that caught my eye like just about any other book with a record on the cover does.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://oldschool.wizarduniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/books1.JPG"><img src='http://oldschool.wizarduniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/books1.thumbnail.JPG' title='' alt='' /></a></center></p>
<p>Finally, my Quentin Tarantino weekend ended with a viewing of Incredible Hulk (hey, Tim Roth was in it, he was also in Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, close enough right?). I wasn&#8217;t all that excited about this flick at first, partly because I was one of the few people that liked the original Hulk movie. It&#8217;s been a while since I watched it, so there will be a Hulk review up later this week (hopefully). Anyway, I just wasn&#8217;t feeling IH. Ed Norton just didn&#8217;t feel like Bruce Banner. The Hulk and Abomination CGI looked fine, but the helicopters looked ridiculously fake. </p>
<p>Frankly, the best part of the flick was Roth. He&#8217;s super-crazy and the scene where he fights the Hulk as himself (before Abomination-ing out) made me psyched for the Captain America movie. The only problem? Wouldn&#8217;t it have been cool to see Roth play Union Jack down the line? Oh well, too late for that now probably. </p>
<p>On a different note, Em and I were talking with the in laws about the upcoming movies and we all suggested that Matt Damon would make a great Captain America. This got me thinking that if it is Brad Pitt, as some of us around the office have thought about, Damon could make a great Hawkeye down the road. Let&#8217;s just not wait too long on this, okay Marvel? Thanks.</p>
<p>Um&#8230;I guess I ran out of Tarantino stuff, but you get the idea. </p>
