Saturday August 27th, Doctor Who time

  So recently I been catching more with the old generations of Doctors. I finished the sixth doctor portrayed by Colin Baker and felt left unsatisfied with the ending of his run.  But I will get more into that, as you know by now the next part of the six season/series is beginning August 27th for us americans. The ending to mid season finale was absolutely mind blowing to me. I will not spoil anyone who is still catching up (I am sure they will have a marathon leading up to the next part). So the new season begins with a episode "Let's Kill Hitler" which by the name of the title deals with something about Adolf Hitler. I hope there is a cybermen episode, cybermen have become one of my favorite adversaries for The Doctor. Another glance at the trailers, it seems the silence will return after all. It seems this season will definintely have a shocking conclusion. So I will be ready with my jelly babies and my cup of steaming hot tea for the next part of this awesome season. 

Oh my.....

                                                       

So aside from that back to the classic series. I just finished Colin Baker's run and I have to say I loved his doctor the most beside Tom Baker's (no relation what so ever) of the classic series. Colin's was more of brash and egotistical Doctor. I know that does not sound good but he is actually has a charming wit to him to. A lot of fans would say that Peri (the sixth doctor companion) was annoying and quite dim witted and only add to the show for sex appeal. I do agree with the sex appeal part but I don't agree with other two. She was just like any other female companion but more of typical damsel in distress scenario. Although I hated when she was killed off in and became a host for another alien and was killed. But she wanted to leave the series, which was a good move I just wish they written it off in a better way. Yes I know that it really did not happen it was the Valeyard tampering with the matrix (not that matrix...) and you find out Peri is alive and on the planet married to Yrcanos. Which I did find rather tacked on to keep some fans happy. By the Yrcanos was hilarious and over the top and made that episode. Also the new companion to in Mel.....She was annoying as hell!!! I mean I know back when she was first cast she got a lot of bad wrap, but she was not great just annoying.

Colin had one of my favortie Cybermen episodes. I am a huge fan of Cybermen!!! So if you do watch a least one episode I do recommend "Attack of the Cybermen". There was a good Dalek episode to, "Revelation of the Daleks" which had major teeth grinding parts but also manage to have some real charm to it. Also I like to point and I know it is about time. Colin's Doctor outfit.......All I have to say it definitely was a eye opener and like Colin him self said "A explosion in a rainbow factory", I love the costume. It definitely fit the era (1980's) Colin's Doctor was filmed in. It was a bold move to go gallivanting around the universe in a multicolored, plaid coat.  Also would a good time to discuss the the dark times that fans were going through. The 18 month hiatus that would lead to Doctor Who going downhill from there leading to the cancellation in 1989. If I was living back then I would be mad as hell. I know Colin did audio drama of his Doctor, which I have not listen but I will peak interest someday. Hopefully in 2013 the 50th anniversary ever living Doctor will come back in a huge story. I would love to see Colin finally getting back into the multicolored suit. Colin's Doctor will always have a place in my heart. He was just in a bad time for Who, script were poorly written, production was getting lower and lower. Just not the perfect time.

Also last part and I will end this post. I really hated the last line Colin ever gave on his series. It showed the BBC really hated his protrayal. It was "Carrot juice"!!!! Really of all the things he could of said it was a juice!!! I mean usually the Doctor gives some type of sad goodbye or better yet a some respect getting played off. Don't get me started on the cheap ass regeneration....Anyways I hope more fans open up to Colin Baker's era.

CARROT JUICE!!

Hobo With A Shotgun (Is Awesome)

I been waiting to see this film for awhile. I finally got to watch it with a couple of Xbox LIVE friends on Netflix. I have to say it worth the wait. I definitely getting the film on blu-ray. With a title of movie like this you know it not going to be serious but man it was a crazy film. Think of the film as a homage to the low budget gory action/thriller, grindhouse, and 80's John Carpenter soundtrack all in one. As some people know I love the "Grindhouse" movie that came out. "Death Proof" and "Planet Terror" are really some films that I hope develop a cult classic status, they both were fantastic  in sense they were two different films that I can not compare.

So anyway on to the film. Rutger Hauer was a perfect choice and I thought he would turn something like this down to be honest. If you don't know him he played in the scifi masterpiece know as "Blade Runner" (also liked him in "The Hitcher" not the remake). Anyways like the title implies, he is a hobo with a shotgun. But it more to it, he really wanted a lawn mower but as seeing the town he was drifting through was corrupt and ugly, like every other Bronson type he decides to deliver his own justice. The movie has some of the most over the top gory scene that made me laugh pretty hard. I try to find the scene that made me laugh the most, it was scene when the Santa Claus pervert finally got shot and what the hobo said to him.  I will not try to give anymore away. Also the the soundtrack was superb and the ending theme was just perfect. So I will live you with the theme and hopefully more people will see this film.
