Slusho! Slusho! Everywhere! (But, not a drop to drink)

While the face is recognizable ... The "Drink" is known only to die-hard Abrams fans.





Slusho! has been around since its first appearance on an episode of Alias in 2004 and is still growing in popularity!


A second siting of the frozen soft drink was seen during the trailer of Abrams' "mystery movie", worn by the brother of the lead protagonist, which spawned a nation-wide spread of T-Shirts, Laptops and Caps.

Televised "Heroes" fans may also remember seeing the drink referenced quite a few times.

Now, "word on the street" confirms that MTV obtained an interview with Abrams which claims Slusho! will make a brief appearance in his new Star Trek movie:

MTV: I couldn't help but notice the Slusho! reference from "Cloverfield" in the bar scene where Kirk first meets Uhura. Will we see other J.J.-isms peppered throughout the film?

J.J. Abrams: No. That was sort of the only one, and it was just sort of a goof.

"Live long and prosper."

Anatomy of a Monster!

Wow! Had this package been left unattended on my doorstep while I was at work, I think someone would have had themselves a very odd Christmas!

This season, as I battle a retail career during a commercialized recession; a midlife understanding of my mortality; and my many thanks that my little sister pulled though brain surgery (literally), I can go peacefully to my deathbed knowing full well that I still desire "things."


















While one can hardly notice my set of "Horrified B-Movie Victims" propping the damn thing up, (or the grill outside the back door - this thing's HUGE!) ... or the $118.08 I paid for this "piece of plastic," it is still a week's worth of groceries, a moderate vehicle repair, or a single medical co-pay ... Am I not the only one glued to material objects?

Huddled in the corner of my self conscious, the battle for creativity is fought ultimately by reality.

Do I sell myself out for just another old man's crusade?
Or, do I surround myself with things that just make me happy?

Ziggy's Easter Surprise!

On his way to Easter Sunday Service, Ziggy is stopped for directions:



















It seems odd that Tom Wilson would create this image after Cloverfield has finally left the theaters. What is he telling American audiences?

Cloverfield 2
