A To Z Blogger challenge 2013: Day 15 - O Is For Observe & Report


As we move into the second half of the A To Z Blogger Challenge, i have decided to take  a bit of a darker turn with my movie choice. But even if we go dark, we gotta have a sense of humor... even if it is a bizarre, twisted sense of humor. Observe and Report is a twisted little film from the mind of Jody Hill. Hill is the partner of Danny McBride, and the two of them created Eastbound & Down... hands down one of the funniest shows of all time. But Hill specializes in exploiting his characters worst characteristics, and this is never more apparent than in Observe & Report. Seth Rogen is fantastic, as is Michael Pena. But the show-stealer has to be Anna Faris, who stars as oblivious to the world Brandi. Sure, Faris is gorgeous and looks even better as glamorous Brandi, but it is her comedic genius and timing that shines in this movie. Anna is the real star of this film, and I love her in everything she does. Lets hope we see more from the beauty in the future.

A to Z Blogging Challenge - Day #15 - Letter O - Ozymandias

Movie & Comic Versions of Ozymandias

Ozymandias is one of my all time favorite comic book villains ever... and I am also sympathetic to his reasoning for wanting to create a "better world". For those of you guys who have no idea who the fuck Ozymandias is and what I am talking about, I have a question for you: Are you fucking KIDDING ME?

This panel is why Ozymandias is SO GANGSTER!!!

Ozymandias is the classic hero who has had enough trying to help a society that can't help itself. He is clearly superior to the rest of the world when it comes to frame of mind, so he hatches a plan to focus everybodies attention to a faked alien attack in the hopes that all of humanity will fight to unite against the intruders. The best part about Ozy is that he doesn't make the classic villain mistake of babbling about what he is going to do when confronted by Night Owl & Rorshach. Nope... when they ask him WHEN he plans on unleashing this attack, he tells them it already happened!!! Their reaction is to be stunned.... and there is nothing they can do about it. That makes him the best villain in my book.


Then there is his awesome genetically altered lynx companion Bubastis. How cool is this purple motherfucker? He would easily bring damage anybody who would want to harm Oz. This guy is so majestic it is scary. I was so sad when he was taken out at the end of the Watchmen film... he didn't get nearly enough screen time!!! All of these reasons make Ozymandias the greatest villain in the history of comics. He got it done... don't hate, congratulate!!!
