I always loved nature. Nature has a very simple philosophy. The bigger you are, the more bad-ass you are. Unlike humans who relies on weapons such as hand guns and catapults, nature takes it back to the days where brute strength was the weapon of choice. This is a prime example of this story. Off the coast of North Stradbroke Island in Australia, locals discovered a 10 foot Great White Shark that was bitten in half in one single bite by a presumed 20ft Great White Shark. This is pretty impressive that a female Great White (females GWS are larger than male) usually tops off al 13 feet in length. The “monster” Great White Shark is almost twice as big as a regular one. In comparison, the Great White featured in Steven Spielberg’s fictional horror/thriller Jaws was 25ft long. Considering most experts that claimed that “Jaws” was completely a work of fiction that a 25ft Great White in the modern age was near impossible, this is a prime example of natures reminder to us (humans) that they are a force that should not be messed with. Considering the fact I live less than 10 minutes from the closest beach, I think I will be staying out of the waters for the time being. Unless Great White Sharks grows legs and are able to breath on land, then we are all fucked. Hit the jump to check out the news report!

Back in the days, I remember having to beg my parents to take me to a the local comic book store (which was 2 cities away) to get my hands on some cool Batman and Superman comics and goodies. Now with comics being more popular than ever, we will be seeing comic book merchandise in stores we never did before. Upscale department store, Bloomingdale will be teaming up with DC Comics to celebrate DC Comic’s 75th anniversary. Bloomingdale will be opening DC Comics specific shops that will feature exclusive apparel and merchandise that you can only find in these stores.
In a groundbreaking partnership, which brings the powerful world of DC Comics Super Heroes together with one of the nation’s most prominent retailers, Bloomingdale’s stores and Warner Bros. Consumer Products have joined forces to celebrate the upcoming 75th anniversary of DC Comics. This holiday season, Bloomingdale’s will debut brand-new shops featuring DC Comics-inspired clothing and accessories that are sure to be among the season’s most sought-after gifts. Designers contributing to the exclusive collection include Trunk, Junk Food, Converse, Psycho Bunny and JACK SPADE in men’s and Because We Were Bored in Young World.
Some of the types of products that can be found in the stores are t-shirts, accessories, bags, wallets and more. Prices can range from $30 for a pair of Psycho Bunny socks or $225 for a JACK SPADE tote. Now, I have to ask…. Are you fuckin’ serious?! $30 for a pair of socks!!! It is pretty obvious that the direction that DC Comics and Bloomingdales has set for their new joint venture is a sad (and pretty insulting) attempt to put their licenses and brands into up scale retail shops for high-end consumers. Unfortunately, this makes it more difficult for the regular comic fans to own some of these cool items as they wouldn’t be able to afford a $30 pair of Superman socks. I think I will continue taking my business to the local “mom and pop” comic book stores who always been supporting comics regardless whether comics were popular or not. Hit the jump to see some of these ridiculously priced goods.

Mal is back bitch! (well kinda…)
I think my brain just imploded when I found this little picture at ToplessRobot. At first, I did a double-take thinking that I was looking at some old set photo from Serenity/Firefly until I looked into it a bit further. Apparently, CastleTV.net caught a glimpse of Nathan Fillion (who plays Richard Castle) donning a familiar “brown coat” while shooting an upcoming Halloween episode of Castle. Looks like Richard Castle will be dressing up as a Browncoat this Halloween. Considering that I have been a fan of Nathan Fillion ever since I saw him play Malcolm Reynolds on Serenity (I even loved Slither and Drive), I have been a great fan of Castle as well. To know that I can get the best of both worlds (Serenity and Castle) in one, make me appreciate Nathan Fillion that much more. Mr. Fillion, you are one bad ass mofo. Ms. Katic, I’m in love with you (I had to add that there. I couldn’t resist).
Castle airs on Mondays 10/9 central on ABC. You can follow Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic on Twitter.

Battlestar Babes. Tricia Helfer & Grace Park Set Phasers to Sexy…. (WTF!)
As long as I could remember, I’ve been collecting magazines that have featured cool covers for sci-fi or fantasy movies and televisions show. Thanks for scifiwired.com, I will be camping the local 7-11 for the November issue to Maxim magazine. Gracing the cover of Maxim will be Tricia Helfer and Grace Park of Battlestar Galactica (the newer one. If it was the original, that would be awkward as hell…). We all know that Tricia and Grace played cylon hotties, Six and Boomer (if you didn’t know, I really hate you) on BSG (thats what we cool kids call it), and even though the series came to an end this year, the lovely ladies are strutting their stuff. Battlestar Galactica was an epic story that will be a fan favorite for many years to come. I am pretty sure Tricia and Grace will have hordes of lovestruck geeks (and drooling stalkers) following them to every convention that they appear at. If its a bit odd to you for the reason why Maxim would be featuring BSG on their cover after the series ended, the reason may be because the prequel to BSG, Caprica will be premiering in 2010 (and if you didn’t know THAT, I hate you even more).
I still don’t get why Maxim used a Star Trek reference for their caption on the cover. I just don’t give a crap if you noted in perentacies. Its still stupid.
Side note: Yes. You are right. I only made this blog post so I can shamelessly put up pictures of purrdy girls. I LOVE YOU SIX!

Our little Andy is all growns up…
Pixar finally released a real trailer for their upcoming feature, Toy Story 3! Unlike the previous teaser where all we see is the toys build the Toy Story 3 logo, this time we get a glimpse of what the story will have in store for us. It is quite brilliant to see the advancements in Pixar’s visuals since Toy Story and Toy Story 2. Unfortunately, it is saddening to see that Andy turned out to be a ungrateful bastard to Buzz, Woody, and the rest of the toys by tossing them aside instead of keeping them. You would figure that these toys were with the kid for all those years, he would have kept them as a keepsake. You can NEVER be too old to play with toys (or at least thats what I tell myself…). It is great to get another Randy Newman song. Hit the jump to see the epic trailer!
