Needcoffee.com Black Shirt from Cafepress

I get asked about the black shirts on Cafepress on two occasions. First, when somebody sees me wearing mine out in public. I figure I might as well; I'm big enough to be a damn billboard, should just go ahead and take advantage. Second, when somebody goes to the Cafepress site and wants to know just how they look. Well, admittedly, when they first started the white on black shirts, their process wasn't, shall we say, matured. But I just ordered two more and here they are up there--stark white logo on a black background. That, to me, is tasty. And look--they even come all folded up like a little black burrito with a paper wrap around them. And I understand they come that way--at no extra charge. Wow.

If you want to snag some stuff with the Needcoffee logo on it, feel free. We even have shirts that aren't black, if, you know, you're one of those color-wearing types. If I am greeted by anybody wearing Needcoffee gear of any sort at DragonCon, I will hand you something out of Widge's Magic Prize Bag. Could be a DVD, could be a book, could be a frozen ham. You never know what you will get from the Magic Prize Bag. This deal is good each day until I run out of prizes in the bag.

Our extreme, jumbled, messy complete store is here.

James Cameron's "Avatar," Fourteen Years in the Making
Posted on 08.07.08 by Widge @ 2:55 am
James Cameron from Your Studio and You

When I started at Corona's Coming Attractions, around 1997 or so, there were a number of pages that predated me getting there. One was Cameron's Avatar. And before the site went away, that page was one of the most convoluted that we had: it was project-lives, project-is-dead over and over and over again. From 1996 to 2000. One of the most amusing things for me is that the bit about this being Cameron's follow-up to Titanic turned out to be accurate. Of course he's been busy filming at the bottom of the ocean and playing amateur archaeology sponsor for fake relics, but hey, the man can have his hobbies.

Now I know I try to break down a lot of news for you, but this Hollywood Reporter article you really just need to go read for yourself. This movie sounds like it might be the cure for the Robert Zemeckis CG Zombie Blues. Check out this taste:

Win The Year My Parents Went on Vacation on DVD!

The Year My Parents Went on Vacation DVD Cover Art

When you're a kid, you think about how life would be if you were on your own with no parents. Probably a highly romanticized ideal picture of some adventure or some such. That's not precisely the case with this film, in which the young protagonist's parents have to "disappear" lest they "be disappeared." And what results is the kid on his own trying to go on with life in the hopes his parents will return. We have a spare copy of the movie here--if you'd like to win it, go ahead and enter...and you can do so once a day.

Stuff You Need to Know, Wednesday, August 6, 2008

  • Christopher Knight, formerly Peter Brady of the original Bunch is going to host the syndicated of the new Trivial Pursuit: America Plays TV game show. It starts September 22nd. Previously there was a game show where any country could play, simply called Trivial Pursuit, hosted by Wink Martindale. It appeared on The Family Channel. Here's a taste, so you can see Wink at his most insincere:

    Terrifying. Source for America Plays: Variety.

  • Jackie Chan is on board The Spy Next Door, an action comedy where he's babysitting kids and must confront secret agents after one of the kiddies gets hold of a secret code. Huh. I had no idea they were remaking The Pacifier. Source: Holllywood Reporter.
  • CSI, in a desperate but brilliantly insidious attempt to get me to watch their show, are in talks with Laurence Fishburne to take the lead after William Petersen exits, as we mentioned was coming. In an attempt to...I'm not sure what this is for, but here's the character description: "a doctor/scientist outsider to the CSI unit who has the same genetic profile as a serial killer but hasn't previously acted on any homicidal impulses." Um...okay. Each episode can start with, "Larry--kill anybody today?" Anyway, they're so desperate to get me to watch, they have as their other top choices John Malkovich and Kurt Russell. They're evil, evil bastards, I'm telling you. The producers--not Russell and Malkovich, mind you. Source: Hollywood Reporter.
