I've spent the last two months
Enter the wife with OCD and a knack (and obsession) with scheduling.
The calendar is planned, and the future of The Amazing Spider-Matt is written (or typed to be more accurate). Here are some things to look forward to in the coming month for this site:
Retro Game Recap
Thank to the guys down at Gamers Anonymous, I am now the proud owner of an Two-in-One NES/SNES system and a growing stack of retro games from the days of yore (ie: 80's and 90's). Each Tuesday I'll be bringing you up to speed on the great games of the past that still exist in our hearts and eBay.
Comic Book Corner
Would you believe I've actually been requested by readers to talk about comics? Well it's true. There's a little True Believer in all of us and every Thursday I'll be sharing my favorite issues that week, in addition to helping the growing generation of comic book geeks learn their history.
Monthly Marathons
A few years ago I forced my wife to sit down and watch the Aliens movies all in one day. Since then we've made a tradition out of marathons, including the Saw movies and Paranormal Activity for Halloween, and Star Wars this past May the Fourth be With You. Because we got such a good response from people after our Star Wars celebration, we've decided to make this a monthly event. The first weekend of each month we'll be pulling out the great movie collections and live tweeting as we watch them.
Most of the movies will correspond with the theatrical release of the next in the collection, and we'll be letting everyone know ahead of time so you can all join in on the fun! To end July with a bang, today we'll be breaking out the Three Flavours Trilogy (also called the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy or the Cornetto trilogy). A series of films directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, consisting of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and to be released August 23rd in theaters, The World's End.
So tomorrow make sure you're following @AmzngSpiderMatt and @UntypicallyJia and use the hashtag #ThreeFlavours as we make our way through the first two installments of the trilogy (as well as Paul, for good measure).
Then get ready for next weekend (August 3-4) because we're digging into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collection!
TV and Games and Life - Oh My!
I'll still be reviewing movies and games, and there's a list of catching up to do. Also, when The Walking Dead returns in October, you can bet I'll be there to recap and review my way through the herd of episodes.
In addition to all things geek and media, I really want to get more personally focused and talk a little bit more about me, after all, this is my blog. Since attending my first comic convention, I've really begun to examine my entire belief system as well as who I am as a person. It brings up how I was raised, how I've viewed others as a whole, how I have changed and how I would like to continue to change to ultimately not be so closed minded. In the end all it really took was introducing myself to one lone Gallifreyan, (a mad man with a box), to show me what acceptance could truly be like.
So when all else fails I guess I'll be asking, "What Would The Doctor Do?"
I look forward to the next few months, and with a massive amount of movie watching, comic reading and game playing on my schedule, I'll do my best to make blogging a priority. If there's anything you want to know, want me to review or recap for you, or if you just want to hang out on X-Box Live and shoot Locusts, my email is always open.
