Short Films You Will Enjoy

Hey there ShiNigglers I got some treats below for you. First up is a fan made film with this as the description "Batman The Dark Knight takes on Captain America the first Super Soldier. Who would win in a fight? We want you to decide! It's batarang vs. shield in the first episode of Ultimate Fan Fights!"  The concept is pretty cool in that you can choose your ending to the video. It is a bit like those old Goosebump books when you could pick your ending. I chose for Captain America to win. Make your own choice.

The second treat is my favorite out of the two. I really liked Thomas Jane as the Punisher and was a bit let down when I found out that he wouldn't be reprising the role in the sequel. If they have any sense, which I am sure they don't, they will revive the franchise with Jane back in the role as Marverl's favorite Anti-Hero. The video is pretty badass and not intended for the younger audiences out there. Enjoy!

Fish Parasite Named After Bob Marley

I read this article and I had no intention of posting it, but the side of me that found this funny couldn't help but to put it out there for others. So an assistant professor of marine ecology and field marine biology at Arkansas State University (We are going to call him Paul Sikkel...because that is his name) discovered and named a "gnathiid isopod" after the reggae artist. [For a description on what a gnathiid is click here http://bit.ly/LfUKmx.]

What fascinated me about the article was that they really named a parasite after a musician. I don't see how that is a great honor but who am I to judge right. Here is the official description of the parasite: "a small parasitic crustacean blood feeder that infests certain fish that inhabit the coral reefs of the shallow eastern Caribbean." .....WHAAAAT?! I guess because they both are from the caribbean I can kind of see why they relate. (my head was shaking no as I said that last statement.) Below is a picture of a fish being harassed by the Bob Marley parasite. Enjoy ShiNigglers.

The Next Big Move For Marvel Is To Infiltrate Dorm Rooms.

Marvel is gearing up with some new apparel focused at men/women looking to mix up a little of their alma mater with their favorite super heroes. Below is an image of the confirmed designs so far. Not sure what the driving force behind certain designs are but if the University of Florida gets our friendly neighborhood Spider-man, I think I might just throw money at them.

Dragon Ball Movie Confirmed and The Return of A Certain Moon Princess

It has been confirmed that there will be a Dragon Ball Film. When I say confirmed take that very loosely as I don't even know how much of that statement I believe. A countdown was created on the Shonen Jump Website for a certain surprise on july 14th (http://shonenjump.com/j/countdown/).



 I don't read much japanese but sources say in english it translates to a film. Here is a close up to my friends in the land of the rising sun.

I am just excited because Akira Toriyama will be working on this project as well. Good to know they have the creator on board, not much like the garbage that was GT. Toriyama states that the film will have a lot of the same original feel with a bit of "Modern Flavor"...whatever that means. I also have to say that Sailor Moon is getting another series. Not sure what other information is out there on this except that the group that made the original japanese theme song is working on another for the new show. Yaaaaah...I think.




UPDATE (Like 5 minutes after post): Did some more digging and I found an actual promotional page from the shonen jump with the announcement of the time the film will drop.

 

Guess you can get excited for another KAME HA MEHA!
