Update of Doom

If it isn't one thing, it's another. That's what they say right? They also say that honesty is the best policy, so what the hell do they know? Just when I think I don't have to spend any more money on toys, a new wave or line of figures comes out that I must have. Take this last week for instance. I thought I was going to be able to save money until I hit a Hot Topic and found the exclusive Invader Zim wave 2 figs and wave 3 of Street Figher toys. Now, I bought all of the Zim figs but only 2 of the Street Fighter toys. There went $115 down the crapper. Alrighty, money spent, and no more toys to buy. WRONG! The god of toys (whose name is Eduardo) hath decreed that Hasbro shall offer Wave 2 of the direct-to-consumer G.I. Joe products on their website. Flush. That was the sound of $230 going down the crapper. Although technically, I won't pay that untill the items are shipped in a month, but still. I don't think I'll have to buy any more toys at least for another 3 days until wave 11 of Marvel Legends start hitting the stores. Then, I'll be shelling out around $50.

I will be attending a toy show in October however, where I plan to sell a few of the toys I have laying around that I have no use for. Maybe I'll make enough money to buy Marvel Legends wave 12 when they hit the shelves. It's a neverending cycle, much like the circle of life, but without talking lions and shaman monkeys.

A few posts ago, I discussed some upcoming movies. Well, I bet you haven't heard of this upcoming movie, which will no doubt be a blockbuster which will shatter all records...or maybe not. I'll post the title and if you can get past that, I'll post the plot summary:
Snakes on a Plane
Yes, that is the title. I wonder what it's about. Are you ready to know what it's about?!
Plot Summary: Samuel L. Jackson stars in the intense action feature "Snakes on a Plane" from director David Ellis ("Final Destination 2," "Cellular"). Jackson plays an FBI agent who is escorting a witness on a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles when an assassin releases hundreds of deadly snakes on a commercial airplane in order to eliminate the witness. The FBI agent, along with a rookie pilot, frightened crew and passengers must then band together in a desperate attempt to survive.

As silence fills the room and you all look around dumbfounded, I simply say: WHAT THE FUCK? Snakes on a Plane? Snakes on a plane? I don't know what's stupider, the title, or the plot. So they can't just land the plane and remove themselves from the situation? Maybe the pilot has been killed by a snake and they can't land, in which case, the passengers have other things to worry about. Like, when the plane runs out of fuel and plummets to the ground, in which case, they'll all die anyway, including the snakes. Unless they are fireproof snakes. Why can't the passengers just crush the snakes under their bootheels? Perhaps the plane is full of shoeless passengers; a negative side effect of the strict airline screening procedures after the shoe-bomb incident. Snakes on a Plane? More like Crap in a Hat.

A movie I am looking forward to: Transporter 2. Although, I think they could have added a subtitle to give it a little more UMPH. Roll this around in your head: Transporter 2: Transport This, Bitch!

Yeah, I knew you'd like that.
