I have some news on the upcoming Harry Potter Island that will be opening at Florida’s Universal Studios Islands of Adventure in 2010.

This seems to be EPIC.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will have 2 sections: Hogwarts, and Hogsmeade. It’s being built by the guy who made the one in the movie. Inside Hogwarts there will be a dark ride called “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey” where you get to fly through 10 scenes from the films…including the Forbidden Forest. No doubt there will be a lot of pyro and other crazy effects.

They are converting a kid coaster called “The Flying Unicorn” into “Flight of the Hippogriff”. Dueling Dragons coaster will become “Dragon Challenge”.

The restaurants are Magic Neep, Three Broomsticks, and Butterbeer. Stores will be Owl Post, Zonko’s, Ollivanders, Dervish and Banges, as well as Honeydukes.

Yes, most of the food and drink from the books will be faithfully recreated and ready for purchase. Rowling has been very involved, so I am sure you can expect a great eye to authenticity on this one.

For more information, you can check out The Disney Blog or Theme Park Insider.

Darren Bousman (of SAW fame) has a few new horror films coming out…and it looks like a Repo! The Genetic Opera prequel and sequel are in the works.

Hehehe. I love how he says he wants to direct a Leprechaun film. That would be BEST EVAR. I’ve posted about them before holy crap.

The Collector comes out this weekend. It was pitched originally as a prequel to SAW, but eventually became a separate film. The story is that a man tries to break into someone’s house, but finds that someone worse is already inside…I really have to see this. I tend to like films that deal with the fact that things aren’t always black and white…and there is always someone better and worse than the hero/villain.

If you have a Wii, you really should have already picked up Ghostbusters. It’s really good.

They just announced a Metalocalypse comic at comicon.

William Shatner reads Sarah Palin’s farewell speech over at Mr. Nihil’s LJ.

Do you want to be drawn in my style? Do you have an original character that you would like me to bring to life? How about a gift for a friend?

I am available for paid commissions, but the most affordable way to get a piece of art is to commission a 100 x 100 pixel icon! Here are some examples of ones I have done in the past.

If you want one, they are $10 each for now. I may have to raise the price later if I get super busy. I can even do the watercolor style that I use over at Stupid and Insane.

We are now officially out of beta. You don’t have to RSVP anymore to bring friends since we aren’t at Rutgers anymore…just show up and say hello! :D

Everyone is invited, comic creators and fans alike.

Our next meeting will be at Brewed Awakenings coffeehouse in Metuchen! This is literally a 60 second walk from the Metuchen train station.

Brewed Awakenings
417 Main St

Here is the link to the google map.

Meeting date: Saturday August 15th, from 2-6 PM. If this works out, this will be our permanent meeting place.

P.S. You might want to sign up to our mailing list here to be notified of any changes.

“You get on that stick and make some babies!!!” All I can say is…WHAT THE!?!??!?!?!?

NSFW.

Thanks for this one, Harknell! :D

This is awesome I am drawing some Stupid and Insane, watching Freddy 5, and I have just one glass of wine.

OK so lets explain this. First now we have a boring. Then I realize I should have watched Tango and Cash instead. However now we have a Freddy Krueggermobile holy crap this is what happen?

I think I just saw Hulk Hogan.

Now thers some lady with a coffee and the wall puked.

You might not realize that Tango and Cash is actually underrated. Many a Sierra video game made fun of that film but I thought it was indeed win.

So now let’s discuss what happens if we put Freddy into the Twilight film. I think the same thing that I see now would happen except there would be some one guy that he likes a lot.

In short, apparently I have no alcohol tolerance this film is awesome.

Wait a minute now it says this girl is pregnant with a hell face baby SERIOUS? OK I have to ask this question. Why is it that every time I watch a film my vagina has to be involved or perhaps a baby basket? Or rather not my vagina, but hers. I am a little bit full of empathy for the trails of ovarian horror. I’ll tell you what right happens with my vagina. NOTHING with knives on his hand that is for sure!

WAIT this is not the end of the film? AW man we are only half way through. You gotta try this it’s hilarious.

Oh dude I’m going to get back to drawing now before Freddy tries to make an egg mcmuffin.
