The NBA Starts Tonight!

The 2008-2009 NBA season kicks off tonight on TNT and The Blot is pumped. The ‘08-‘09 season should be a great one for the NBA with a ton of interesting storylines set to play out and a bunch of familiar faces in new locations and new uniforms.


I’m just counting down the minutes until tip off of the Los Angeles Lakers’ first game against the Portland Trailblazers at 10:30/9:30 central. It should be a great game and I’m excited to see the Lakers with a healthy Andrew Bynum and the Blazers’ amazing young talent with a healthy Greg Oden.

My Name Is Bruce Final One Sheet Movie Poster and Promo Tour

The Blot is pretty bummed that I missed my one and only opportunity to see My Name Is Bruce in theaters. It was shown in Austin on Sunday night at the Alamo Drafthouse with Bruce Campbell in attendance for the movie’s one and only showing in the state of Texas. But what can you do!?!


Mr. Campbell and the movie have just launched a nation wide My Name Is Bruce promo-tour where fans can view the film and do a spirited Q&A afterwards with the main man himself. There won’t be a signing involved, but if you were hoping to see My Name Is Bruce in theaters then click here to see future tour stop locations and dates.

I was lucky enough to attend one of these movie premieres (and an autograph signing) back in 2005 for Campbell’s sci-fi movie Man with the Screaming Brain in Dallas, and the Q&A was definitely worth attending. So if you’re a Bruce Campbell fan who lives near a promo-tour stop, I highly recommend trying to attend a My Name Is Bruce screening.

Optimus Prime Mighty Mugg

Here is our first official look at the Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, in all his Mighty Muggs glory. The Blot’s been waiting a while for some official pics of Hasbro’s upcoming Transformers Mighty Muggs Wave 1 figures, and I’m a little disappointed that after all this time we’re only getting a sneak peek of Prime. I have been dying for some good, close-up pics of the Bumblebee, Megatron and Soundwave figures.


At least now we know from the picture above that Optimus comes with his trademark blaster. Here’s hoping this doesn’t mean Soundwave will just come with his trademark weapon as well. I have been secretly hoping he might come with a sidekick cassette tape like Laserbeak, Buzzsaw or Ratbat to perch on his arm (or in his hand). How cool would that be?
