Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Teaser One Sheet Movie Poster

The end is near for Harry Potter and this movie poster proves it! Warner Bros. released the very first teaser one sheet for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts I & II. The Blot’s not a huge Harry Potter fan, but the books’ impact on the pop culture landscape is unmistakable. And for that reason alone the release of these two films are of huge importance.


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I will be released on November 19, 2010.

SDCC 2010 Exclusive Sgt. Slaughter G.I. Joe Action Figure

Last year at this time The Blot was preparing for my first trip to San Diego Comic-Con. I had an amazing time, but if I had to pinpoint my biggest disappointment it would be Hasbro’s lame G.I. Joe Comic-Con exclusives. Everything revolved around the franchise’s upcoming live action movie G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and the figures were as disappointing as film. Thankfully Hasbro has redeemed itself this year with the SDCC Exclusive Sgt. Slaughter 3.75” action figure!!!


Sgt. Slaughter was also one of my favorite G.I. Joe characters because he was both a member of G.I. Joe and a professional WWF wrestler, two of my favorite things in the ‘80s. Well, Sgt. Slaughter is back and returns to the G.I. Joe universe with two different Comic-Con exclusives! This is definitely the SDCC exclusive The Blot is looking forward to the most, so hopefully I’ll be able to snag one after Comic-Con at a reasonable price.


The primary Sgt. Slaughter action figure is styled with a USA tank top, whistle, non-removable hat, championship belt, baton and a microphone. The variant figure (sold separately), in the Triple-T styling, comes with a whistle, non-removable hat, machine gun, and a revolver. Both versions of the SDCC 2010 Exclusive Sgt. Slaughter G.I. Joe action figure will retail for $12.99.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - Caribbean Island Hopping

This Monday, Travel Channel unleashes yet another all-new season of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, beginning with an episode of Island Hopping in the Caribbean. Get ready for a heavy dose of the unforgettable meals, unapologetic commentary, and unexpected moments you have come to expect from Anthony Bourdain. Tonight’s episode actually stems from an idea Tony got while watching a Duran Duran video. The crew works very hard to produce the show, so as a thank you to the crew, they hopped on a boat and set sail for the Grenadines. The plan was to rent a few sail boats and spend a couple weeks going from island to island.


The journey begins on the tiny island of Petit Saint Vincent, a very small, but very beautiful island in the Grenadines. There is no airport, no TV, and no Internet. The only means of communication is a little yellow flag which you raise whenever you are feeling particularly hungry. Your typical day begins with fresh lobster and fruit on the beach. In short, it does NOT suck to be on Petit Saint Vincent.

Tony's friend, Norman Van Aken, is happy to leave the frozen tundra of Key West Florida and join the No Reservations crew in Petit Saint Vincent. However, Tony cashes in on the opportunity to take a few jabs at the chef and restauranteur known for accidentally/purposefully coining the term, fusion. "All of the crimes committed in the name of fusion," Tony says, "are directly attributed to this man."



Before long it is time to move on from Petit Saint Vincent to some of the other islands nearby. The other Islands are a perfect place for a little hunting, fishing, and getting to know the locals. Tragically, all good things must end, but the crew's time in the Grenadines will not soon be forgotten. It is the type of place that you fall in love with, making it decidedly hard to leave.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations airs Monday nights at 10/9c on the Travel Channel.
