Sea Shepard is a notorious eco-friendly terrorists that fights against Japans “scientific” whaling vessels. Sea Shepards newest addition to their eco-armada is called the “Ady Gil”. The Ady Gil is a 1.5 million dollar anti-whaling vessel that includes a ultra-futuristic sleek design equipped with carbon fiber trimaran which reinforced with kevlar (the material used for bullet proof vests) to cut through massive waves and withstand the freezing elements found in the Artic. Also, it features technology that keeps it undetectable to radar. This bad boy premiered in November 2009. Unfortunately, two months later, the Ady Gil is probably underwater.
During an operation against a Japanese whaling vessel, the Ady Gil suffered a fatal crash with a Japanese whaling ship. The crew on both ships suffered minor injuries, but the Ady Gil lost a huge part of its body in the accident. A piece about 8 foot long was broken off the front, causing the crew to jump ship. Unfortunately, during the altercation, the crew on the Japanese whaling boat laughed and heckled at the crew of the Ady Gil while pummeling them with the water cannon. Considering, due to the damage, the Ady Gil was already taking on water, it probably didn’t help that the Japanese whalers where helping to speed up the process. In mist of this accident, controversy is brewing as the Ady Gil crew claims that the Japanese vessel intentional steered their vessel to crash into the Ady Gil. Regardless, whether this was an accident or intentional, I am surprised this $1,500,000+ “stealth” boat couldn’t evade the massive whaling vessel. I’m pretty sure Hulk Hogan and “Thunder” could have. BTW… that was a reference to Hulk Hogan’s short-lived action television show “Thunder in Paradise”. Orz

Yeah, I know. This little bad ass Iron Man 2 poster dropped last week, but I can’t help but cover EVERYTHING and anything related to Jon Faverau’s upcoming Iron Man sequel. Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash gets the Iron Man 2 poster treatment this time around. It is hard to say whether I like the Whiplash character cause I am basing my opinion based on the small tidbits that I saw in the trailer. Whiplash gets his hands on the mini-arc reactor technology that Tony Stark utilizes to power his Iron Man suit and creates….. electric whips. Right… Either way, I trust Jon Faverau’s ability to tell stories and develop characters so I am pretty sure Whiplash will turn out to be a hard ass. Enjoy!
The game has changed…
Get ready to drool some more. After the epic teaser trailer for TRON Legacy, we finally get the first movie poster. Very simple, yet action packed. The new poster features “Flynn Jr.” racin’ on a spiffy new upgraded light cycle with two yellow baddies on his six. On top of this cool poster, an image from the movie was released which features a lovely short haired Olivia Wilde. It’s killing me to see those illuminating line hug her body. I never wanted to be a line as much as I do right now.
TRON Legacy drops in theatres and IMAX in December 2010. Hit the jump to check out Olivia in her lighted glory.

Very cool! In case you have been living under a rock, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a unique fan-fiction style adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice by author, Seth Grahame-Smith. Within the iconic story of romance, Seth Grahame-Smith infused a heavy dosage of undead goodness with a sprinkle of ninja kung-fu action. The book features ultra-violent scenes of zombie destruction which are accompanied by humorous illustrations. P&P&Z has been so popular that there is a graphic novel adaptation in the works. On top of that great news, P&P&Z’s Twitter, @PrideandZombies has announced that Deadline Productions will be producing a six episode mini-series based on the book. My mouth is salivating from the undead bashin’ goodness. HURRAH!

One of the things I love to collect is movie posters. Especially when it comes to the epic magnitude of the first Iron Man 2 poster. The net has been flooded in the past few months over what the new Iron Man and teased War Machine will look like. Everything from leaked photos of the action figures to conceptual drawings has been exposed to see the brilliant new armor designs. Now we get a first official look of the men in armor together in a beautiful movie poster. I’m going to speculate (there’s that word again…) that the Iron Man featured in this poster is the Mark V suit. The movie has been rumored to featured up to a Mark VI suit which makes me very excited. The Iron Man suit in the poster seems the same as the Mark III suit in the first movie, but a closer look shows small differences such as a new triangular chest plate around the arc reactor. Of course, there are images of a Iron Man suit with a triangular arc reactor so I will have to suspect that there are more armor-goodness surprises in store for us. Behind the “main man” is his grayscale counterpart, War Machine. He is a devious lookin’ fellow. Will there be a confrontation or even a battle between the man in red versus the man in black? I hope so. More “stuff blowin’ up” is ALWAYS a plus in my book. HURRAH!
