Free movies

Here is a list of websites to get passes for early screenings of upcoming movies before they are released nation wide. These websites are most or all for United States of America screenings and you have to sign up for them all.

Gofobo

Sending pass for movies of all types mainly for up to 2 guests, sometimes 4 for kids movies. More movies you go to the more movie passes you should get. You can get flooded with passes for the same movie but for different times and places to watch it. Many time I get dry spells of no passes at all for 2-4 months.

Sony Screenings

Like Gofobo in the pass guest count and how often passes are sent but only shows SONY movies.

Regal Entertainment Group

Regal may send out a free pass in their newsletters. I forget if you have to also have to be a member to their free members club too. I got one pass from them so far and the passes will be for a screening in a Regal theater.

The Film Yap

The Film Yap is a local movie reviewer/lover website. Many times they will post on their website, newsletter, and/or FaceBook page of mini contests to win passes to an early screening.

Nuvo

The free weekly Indianapolis paper has many contests on their website. Many of which are for passes to early screenings.

Local comic shops

Local comic shop tend to get passes to comic/sci-fi movies. Some will just hand them out, other times you'll have to call in before hand, you may have to buy something some of the other times, and there is even a chance they will have a contest for the passes with other goodies. Be sure to check their websites/Facebook pages/newsletters for updates and don't be afraid to ask.

Lionsgate

Just like the SONY screenings but with Lionsgate films.

Warner Bros. Screenings

 Just like SONY and Lionsgate but with WB films.

I think there was a Paramount screening site too but I can't find it.

Get Screening

This site I haven't used just yet but I hear it's like a blanket site that sends you passes from most of the other sites I talked about above.

Halloween comic countdown #1

    Like every day that has free comic books Sonic is the one I want the most.

1 - SONIC LOST WORLD

2 - CARTOON NETWORK SUPER SAMPLER

3 - MY LITTLE PONY HALLOWEEN EDITION

4 - ADVENTURE TIME

5 - UZUMAKI
 
6 - BATMAN THE LONG HALLOWEEN #1

7 - PANTALONES TX ZOMBINATA

    Of course it's a Sonic comic as my number 1. Reprint or not even a story, I will pick the Blue Blur above all. I've been a fan for what some say to be too many years and I still love it in one way or another. Given the story in this issue I hope there will be some extras like pin-ups or up-to-date data files.

    This is a sort of reprint. It's a story prequel to the new Sonic game Sonic Lost World for the Nintendo's WiiU & 3DS. It was going to premiere in the Sonic Super Special magazine #9 but this comes out a few weeks before that. The art looks great from the preview and giving that the story takes place before the game there could be some fun things here that won't be seen or made clear in the game.

    I have high hopes for this comic since most of the other comics are reprints in a way but this will be way fresher than those. This issue is at a great price of course and will pad out a Sonic comic set or gifted with the game very well. This is a comic for Sonic fans of the comic or game for sure.Give this a read so you don't have to pay the $10 for the magazine if that's what you're after in it

    Cartoon Network has moved it's best title from DC to IDW. Ben 10 is a show I liked but not like like so I don't care about that part even if Cartoon Network has about 4 shows, at least 2 movies, countless games & toys, and spammed Ben 10 all over their comics with DC.

    Powerpuff Girls was an amazing show that should have lasted longer. I haven't read the comics of the show but from what I saw it was very well done and the interview for the new comic gives me high hopes on the new comic run.

    Samurai Jack was my favorite show when it was on TV and in many ways I still pick it over 99% of TV shows that came before and after it. I grabbed all the Samurai Jack comics that I could from DC even though they were shout or very short stories. Now that it's with IDW I'm going to keep track of this comic for sure and I hope that there are real story arcs of an on going series that it deserves.

    Looking at the preview of this issue the Samurai Jack story is a reprint of one of the DC stories. I don't know about the other 2 stories. Check out family friendly stories based on the best shows that Cartoon Network could make at the time they came out.

    I am a My Little Pony fan for a little over a year now with the Friendship Is Magic series. The comics are do by some artists and writers that are very good at what they do but I haven't read any of the comics yet since I still need to finish season 2 of the show.

    This issue is a reprint of some story from other issues and other items to deal with MLP. It's a good sampler issue for those who want to check out the comic and some of the scarier parts that where in the comic so far. The cover of this issue the biggest reason I'm getting this comic as it's so beautiful to me and I just WANT IT! See what's so hot about ponies lately with this very special issue that makes me wish I could color that well.

    Adventure Time is my favorite show right now. From beginning to end on every episode and issue of the comic is great! Like the other free Adventure Time comics this one is a reprint of an issue that is out already. Being that it's an Adventure Time comic it's one that I'm getting for sure just because it's AMAZING!

    As for everyone else, This is a stand alone issue that is a good jumping on point for people who want to check out the comic or the preview the show in paper form. A free comic of the best show on TV is a win for any one. Look out for the snail.

    I've stayed away from horror manga due to the creepy art work and how the story could mess with your head. After hearing about this series a few time on Atop The Forth Wall I now see that there is a bigger picture to this book. I will be happy to be creeped out by this book for Halloween and become even more crazy.

    For every 2,000 super hero Christmas comics there are 1 super hero Halloween comic. Any super hero comic with Halloween as it's theme in one way or another should be supported. This Batman story has been know to be one of the best I haven't read it so far. Getting my hands on the first part of the story could just be what I need to read more Batman.

    October 26th, the Saturday before Halloween is Halloween Comic Fest 2013. Comic shops across the country with be giving FREE COMICS!

I have my dream girl

Steampunk Girl Artwork by Geek Artist Extraordinaire Len Peralta.

lyrics

Cherie slides the gate
and closes up for the night
walks through the mall and sighs
Gets in her Chevrolet
and blasts The Cure and The Smiths
puts her flask to her lips

Takes Exit 22
and pulls in her parking space
climbs up the fire escape
Steps into her bedroom
and crashes on to her bed
Rips stockings from her legs

She looks in the mirror and thinks that it's time
to start another life.

So, she's putting on her goggles and a bowler hat
She checks her pocket watch, adjusts her rocket pack
She laces up her boots and puts her makeup on
She grabs her leather coat and her Tesla Gun

Cause she used to be a Goth Kid but now she's a Steampunk Girl.

She dreams of brass and gaslight
Imagines taking a trip on a steam powered ship
Instead she hops a flight
to a Sci-Fi convention, now it's her intention

to finish her novel and go back to school
and learn to live again.

So, she's putting on her goggles and a bowler hat
She checks her pocket watch, adjusts her rocket pack
She laces up her boots and puts her makeup on
She grabs her leather coat and her Tesla Gun

Cause she used to be a Goth Kid but now she's a Steampunk Girl.

Why read books when you can sing about books?

This song is for everyone who participates in National Novel Writing Month.

lyrics

This November I'm gonna write a novel in 30 days
and by December, I'll type "The End" on the last page
I've got some music. I've got my shiny new laptop
And now I'll use it as I sit down at the coffee shop

But everybody thinks I'm crazy

But I've only got 50,000 words to go
Before the end of NaNoWriMo
I thought that it'd be easy but its not
Yeah I've only got 50,000 words to go
Before the end of NaNoWriMo
I've got everything I need except the plot

I've got a trusty side-kick. I've got a strong protagonist.
There's a central conflict but a weak antagonist
I've got a cliched setting and at best my plot is trite
but at least I'm getting some time to myself at night

Refrain

Who decided to have Thanksgiving this time of year?
Don't they know I'm trying to launch my writing career.

What I really love.

What better way to show that I love zombies then to share this zombie love song.



Immediate download of Undead Love Song in your choice of MP3 320, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.

The Undead Love Song was inspired by Rigor Amortis, an anthology of zombie short stories. This song was co-written with R. Schuyler Devin, who has a story in the collection.

lyrics

A supernatural wedding day
A blushing bride, a groom in a cage.
She could have had any man she desired
Like a teen werewolf or an old vampire

But she loves her Zombie Man

This is an Undead Love Song
Everyone will think it's wrong
They just don't understand those Zombie moans
Lovers need not be alive for true love to survive
A fragile heart need not rot alone

When they went on their honeymoon
They drank champagne in their hotel room
But then the bride went into shock
When his foot fell off and he lost his c***

But she loves her Zombie Man

This is an Undead Love Song
Everyone will think it's wrong
They just don't understand those Zombie moans
Lovers need not be alive for true love to survive
A fragile heart need not rot alone

But it ain't easy being married to an undead lover
the bride is always under attack
People ask her: Why can't she find another
And why is she a Necrophiliac?

2 of my fav things in song form

A mostly true story about how I dressed up like a Stormtrooper for Halloween when I was 5 years old.
lyrics


I had an old white shirt and a store-bought mask
And a broken water gun within my grasp
My tattered pants were lined with electrical tape.
It was the greatest costume that was ever made

And I wish I could relive that holiday

When I dressed up like a Stormtrooper for Halloween
My dad was a ghost, my friend was Wolverine
And these memories will surely haunt my dreams tonight.

I marched down Fleetwood street in my black rubber boots
We went from door to door collecting our loot
I wouldn’t eat the candy in my pillow case
Because I refused to take the mask off my face

Now, I’m putting on my mask again
and lacing up my boots
With my son dressed up like Anakin
in his jedi costume
