It never makes sense to me when you have a movie that has all the tools to make it a great film but ends up being a dud. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is one of those. The movie had a solid plot but the rest of the movie except for some bright spots was hard to watch. First of all when will directors learn that some films should not be artsy like in nature. This film tried to hard to be something it should of never been which made it hard to watch at times. It felt like Cloverfeild and the first Hulk movie all wrapped up in one. To many quick zoom in and zoom out shots along with shaky camera tricks for my taste. It did not work for those films why the hell did any one think it would work for this one. Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor should of known better.

So the second day at the Nashville Comic Con and Horror Fest was as good as the first. Pretty much the same vendors as the first even the cast of the Walking Dead was still there. This time I got to speak with Mrs Jones (Keisha Tills) for a bit and she thank us for watching the series. Seems like the whole panel of the Walking Dead were very gracious and had an up beat attitude that was contagious. Not bad for a bunch of zombies. The rest of the day I spent getting to know some of the vendors , checking out in brief the Dr Who panel and finally talking to some of the artist. One in particular that was real friendly and was really willing to talk about his work was author Bill Cain. An Iraqi vet that followed his love of writing after retiring from the service . Some of his writing is of his time in the service but he also wrote some tales that were fiction. One was a novel called I Know Why the Dogwoods Blush a supernatural thriller and the other is a comic called Void. I could not help but to notice a comment on the about page by Stan Lee himself.

While I was at the Nashville Comic Con and Horror Fest I ran across a vendor there that had some really hilarious shirts and some really cool ones also. The vendor was called World of Strange (fantastic Apparel). And let me tell you it was hard not to buy some shirts off of them. It got me thinking hmmmmm there are so many wild zombie shirts that are just hilarious let me see how many I could find. Well I rounded the number to 5 that I thought Stood out amongst the rest. The first 2 and I think they are the best are the ones I saw from World of Strange's vending booth at the Comic Con.

1. Smurf Zombies - Oh man did I roll when I saw this one. You got to love the humor in the fact that brainy is being chased by a swarm of Smurf Zombies.

2. Gone With the Dead. Also from World of Strange. A spoof of the classic movie Gone with the Wind.

Another two I found at Shirt Shovel which were pretty hilarious among the 37 they got listed on their site were.

Primeval: New World is a spinoff of the cult British Sci Fi series Primeval that will be a Canadian ventrure. It will be a co-production between Impossible Pictures and Omni Film Productions for Space. Of course this will have the same plot setting as the original where a team has to investigate and stop animals that travel through time anomalies that pop up. Being one of my favorite of the British Sci FI . I hope it makes it way to BBC America or the SYFY channel. There is not much more that I could find out about this but what is stated on the press release pasted below. This is one of those stories that are now on my watch list for updates and news . So when anything new pops up about it I will post in later blogs.
As for Primeval itself it is unclear if there will be  a series 6 . co-creator Adrian Hodges has indicated according to cultfix.com that the finale of Series 5 will serve as an ending, but if the show does get a sixth series, it is unlikely to air until 2013.

I generally do not use the blog to announce any site news at all. I leave that to post in the forum but I just migrated the CMS part of the site (home page, gallery, video , community , forums, and games ) to a different directory and had rebuild it using a newer version of the CMS I am using. I don't want to bore any one with the details but it gave me an opportunity to secure and add some sections to this site and still keep it going at the same time. Before I go on the newer addressing is http://scifiology.com/community/ Since the Blog I use is WordPress and is separate from the other section this part has basically stayed the same.The addressing will remain like this until further notice.
Added to the site is a community section. Something I hope fans of Sci Fi like myself will use to get to know each other and share what ever their experience and likes are. You can add your own photo's, video links from youtube, google , and several other streaming site (I will get the list later on and share that with you in the forums). You can create groups and either make them public or private . That is same with photos and videos. Only thing I ask is no porn or anything of that nature. Basically its like a Facebook type setting. Matter of fact I will be adding in t he coming days a Facebook connect to the community so if you belong to that then it will be easy to log into here.
One change I am thinking of is getting rid of the video section I have for the movie and such and just using the community one. I am up in the air on that one. Again any suggestions you can either post here or in the forums. Thanks again.
