Moment of Who: Dinner with The Silence

Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, LOL, Television on April 26, 2011

This comic directly references the Series 6 premiere of DOCTOR WHO’s “The Impossible Astronaut.” Explaining what’s going on here is on par with explaining the “very funny in-joke” you told your best friend who is standing so far outside the jest that’s s/he is ten feet from the fence of ever fully understanding.

We strongly suggest you watch “The Impossible Astronaut“(hopefully the Crackle video will work for you) or read Kyle Anderson’s spoiler heavy review over on The Nerdist.

Hard-core Whovians are laughing their heads off at this. We know because we are One Of Them.

Chuck Patterson Paddles Into the Sea, Films Sharks Stalking Him

Posted by mistergroonk in Animals, Sport on August 17, 2010

I paddle out on my Hobie Stand up paddle board, 250 yards by myself and within minutes a shark surprised me with a swing of his tail, almost knocking me into the water. The shark swam away and another 7′ shark appeared and circled my board off and on for 12 minutes. it was an insane experience which i hope to enjoy again soon.

Not only is Chuck Patterson insane, he takes damn good amateur video. Hopefully, he’ll live long enough to make more.

Video dropped under the cut.

Trailer Tuesday: PIRANHA 3D. Watch Out, They Bite or They Came From the Deep.

Posted by mistergroonk in LOL, Movies, One Sheets, Trailers on July 27, 2010

Official Synopsis

With a movie like this all you really need is the tagline.

This Summer 3D Shows Its Teeth

What We Learned:
Doc Brown is alive and warning is about the perils of time travel supposedly extinct fish that will eat you up. Hollywood figured out a way to entice our sophisticated movie sensibilities. And that way was to put Ving Rhames Christopher Lloyd, scantily clad ladies who are famous in their own right but damn if you could make out who they were, and a whole mess of cannon fodder annoying Spring Breakers just begging to be eaten in new and interesting ways.

Why We’re Gonna Watch:
It’s late summer. We’re landlocked. We ain’t got ship to do. Might as well watch a silly monster movie.

When’s it coming?

Wild Kingdom: Some Days You Get the Octopus, Other Days the Octopus Gets You

Posted by mistergroonk in Animals, Photography, Science on May 17, 2010

Nature’s a harsh mistress. Make no mistake about it. This island Earth is a Wild Kingdom.

Kill or be killed.

Eat or be eaten.

This goes double for sea critters.

Dropped below the jump, to spare you sensitive types, are two You Tubes. One is of a group of Leatherjacket attacking and killing an octopus. The other is an octopus attacking and killing a shark.

The theater of nature is amusing and deadly.

Man Asks Reddit to Define Horrible Sea Monster, Learns its a Giant Isopod

Posted by mistergroonk in Animals, Science on April 1, 2010

The post reads, “I work for a Sub-sea Survey Company, recently this beast came up attached to one of our ROVs. It measures a wee bit over 2.5 feet head to tail, and we expect it latched onto the ROV at roughly 8,500 feet depth. Unfortunately, the e-mail that these pictures were attached to came from a contractor, and the ship he was operating from (and therefore location) is unknown, so I can’t tell you what part of the Earth this beast was living.”

The pictures reveal the creature to be a giant isopod, a large crustacean that dwells in deep Atlantic and Pacific waters. This particular creature is a Bathynomus giganteus, a deep-sea scavenger that feeds on dead whales, fish and squid.

And they say it’s safe to go into the water.

Tuesday Tease: The Savage Tale of SENSE & SENSIBILITY & SEA MONSTERS

Posted by mistergroonk in Books, Trailers on October 6, 2009

It is no small matter to detail that this is of great interest to us. When Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters was first posed before our wandering eyes, we must say it did not seem a thing to our liking. Upon viewing the short moving picture tease that sits above these words we must say our opinion has changed for the better.

Blending the beloved words of Jane Austen with the..ahem… sensibilities… of the slime-producing, illicit tendrils of creeping terrors that lurk it the deep is nothing less than genius! We expect nothing less from the makers of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Regrettably, the tome is currently “out of stock.” However, we have great confidence that Quirk Classics warehouse stores will, once again, be brimming with multiple productions of this thought provoking work.
