The newest IT CAME FROM THE BARGAIN BIN entry is up, and this time the lucky winner is 2007's "I AM OMEGA," the uber-low-budget knockoff of "I Am Legend" from our pals at the Asylum:

Another day, another review of another mediocre movie... this time the victim is 2000's mountain-climbing action saga, "Vertical Limit"

I was bored this afternoon, so I whipped up a new Hub on some of my favorite bands and how they dealt with the dreaded Lead Singer Change over the years.

In honor of the forthcoming new Overkill album, I wrote a slobbering fanboy Hub entry about the band...

Well, this is kinda cool... one of my old Hubs about 70s Star Wars comic books got an out-of-the-blue boost from GeekChicDaily.com today when they featured it in a block of Star Wars related stuff on their site. Dunno how my article turned up on their radar, but I say thanks to whoever brought it to their attention...

Been on a Ramones kick the last couple of days so I decided to turn that into a fanboy ramble on my Hub:

As usual great stuff Keith.

Even I learned a thing or two in that article about the different releases as there were several I wasn't even aware of. Ironbound was great stuff as was Immortalis!

Great stuff as always but the Reece album is a great album. Different sure but I still love it and David sounds great but they probably should have changed the name.

I'm not the world's biggest Accept fan, though I certainly don't mind them, but I have to say, that was another damn fine article, my friend. Excellent writing.

The news of a new Dokken album in the works for Spring prompted another "A Brief History of So-And-So" entry on the band...

I just received an e-mail from HubPages informing me that my collective deranged ramblings have achieved 10,000 page views thus far. Cool! A large part of that is due to support from y'all, so thanks a bunch and I hope you keep checking out my stuff!!

My kids (ages 4 and 9) have discovered the genius of Weird Al lately... they've been making me play all of his videos on YouTube for them... which prompted my latest Hub entry.

"It Came From the Bargain Bin" has a new installment... this time the victim is "Forbidden World" (aka "Mutant"), a 1982 "Alien" wanna-be from Roger Corman's New World Pictures.

Watching the 1967 version of "Casino Royale" made my brain hurt... so I wrote a Hub about it to try and make the pain go away.

Almost four years past its freshness date, I finally heard GNR's "CHINESE DEMOCRACY"... and now y'all can share in my experience:

Call me crazy but I think it's a great album. If it was an Axl solo album it might have been more accepted but with the GNR name and 15 years in the making it didn't have a chance. Plus when you take out the Aerosmith(Slash), Kiss(Adler), Stones(Izzy) and the Punk Rock(Duff) the sound is sure to change drastically and that would just leave the Elton John/Queen(Axl). I would rather have the old band or at least the old sound but for what it is I think it's great with unbelievable playing and production and Axl sounds great as well especially on "Street of Dreams".

Well, this is interesting. It's been brought to my attention that the Guns N' Roses article I posted on HubPages just yesterday has been copied in its entirety - including the photos!! - and re-posted by some ass monkey who's claiming it as his own original work on another article site ("BigEzine.com"). Son of a b***h!! Rest assured that I have already fired off angry e-mails to the proper authorities... Lord knows if it'll do any good, but the possibilities keep me entertained.

 

From what I've been seeing in the forums on HubPages, this particular site has a history of people rippin' stuff off from HubPages and other legit writing sites.

 

I know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 'n' all, but I hope the guy who ripped off my shiz gets horribly mangled in an industrial accident of some sort.
