The Greatest Movie Villian Ever...
... is not who you think. It's not Darth Vader, or Lord Voldemort. Its not Count Dracula, or Freddy Kreuger. It's not Sauron, its not Keyser Sosa, it's not Tony Montana, and its not Nino Brown. True, all these people have legacies of being some of the baddest of the bad. But none come close to purportrating the henious deeds and actions of the greatest movie villian of all time.... this lady:
Yup, it's Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz. Whats that you say? I got it wrong, I must mean The Wicked Witch of The West, not Glinda.... nope, I'm sorry, but I mean Glinda. Why you ask? Just check out Cracked.com's breakdown on all the evil shit that she is responsible for during The Wizard of Oz by clicking here, and then ask yourself if she is so good after all. I was shocked when I read this, and you will be as well. Fuck the flying monkees, this bitch is the real gangster of OZ!!!
Thanks to Unreality Mag & Cracked for this story.... hysterical, but true!!!

Irvin Kershner, R.I.P. - 1923 - 2010
A true legend amongst filmmakers passed away yesterday at the age of 87. Irvin Kershner, director of The Empire Strikes Back, succumbed to the lung cancer he had fought for 3 years. Kershner was handpicked by George Lucas to follow up Star Wars, and all he did was make one of the greatest movies of all time. Empire is not just the best Star Wars movie, it may be the best space opera/sci-fi movies ever... EVER!!! The Hoth scenes, Yoda, Han & Leia, Luke finding out that Darth Vader was really Daddy Vader... c'mon man, there is nothing that comes close. Here is what George Lucas had to say about his friend and collaborators death (as per E! news):
"The world has lost a great director and one of the most genuine people I've had the pleasure of knowing," Lucas said in a statement sent to E! News. "Irvin Kershner was a true gentleman in every sense of the word."
Billy D. Williams called Kershner "... a mountain of a man" upon hearing about his death. Film critic Roger Ebert further cemented the legacy of Empire when he gave this review back in 1997 during a re-release of the film:
"It is because of the emotions stirred in Empire that the entire series takes on a mythic quality that resonates back to the first [movie] and ahead to the third," critic Roger Ebert wrote in a four-star review, published upon the sequel's 1997 re release. "This is the heart."
Kershner also directed Never Say Never Again, which brought Sean Connery back to the role of James Bond, and Robocop 2, the sequel to the Paul Verhooven classic. All in all, he was a talented filmmaker and all Star Wars freaks should commend him, because one must face facts: If Kirshner would have fucked up Empire, the franchise would have been over. Thanks to him, its 30 years and still going strong. You will be missed sir. Thank you for my favorite Star Wars movie ever. Good luck on the journey you have ahead.

Heroes Vs Villians Toy Battle: Mikey & I Play With Some Toys!!!
My son Mikey has been fascinated by Marvel's Superhero Squad toys ever since he first laid eyes on him. You got to admit that the little figures are extremely cool due to their amazing likenesses and cool selection of characters that are included in the set. They have released a shitload of these guys over the past few years, and Mikey has an extraordinary amount of them. I thought it would be cool to set up a mock "heroes vs villians" battle scene on the kitchen table, pitting all the teams we love from the Marvel Universe against their mortal enemies. Due to Marvel trying to capitalize on the success of Wolverine, Spiderman, and Iron Man, there are an obscene amount of these characters present (especially Iron Man!!!). Unfortunately, you must keep buying these duplicates in order to get some of the cooler figures in the two packs they come in. Anyway, I shot some awesome pics as well as a video of the "great battle". Hope you enjoy.

I'm Going To This Guys House For Thanksgiving Next Year...
Take that John Madden and your underachieving Tur-duck-en... this is the ultimate hidden gem of holiday alchemy. What exactly are you looking at: A 20 lbs pig stuffed with an 8 lbs turkey, a 6 lbs duck, a 4 lbs chicken, a cornish hen, a quail, bacon croissant stuffing & 10 lbs of wrapped Bacon between layers... not to mention a glaze that consists 6 lbs of butter and a 2 liter of Dr Pepper!!! They also garnished it with a bunch of Bacon-nator cheeseburgers.... good lord. Total calories you ask... how 'bout a cool 80,000!!!! Check this puppy out:
Thanks to Geekologie for making us hungry all over again... can't wait till next year!!!

5 Things That I Am Thankful For: Jeff Bond Edition
Since today is Thanksgiving, I decided to have some of CCD's closest friends & contributors share the 5 things in their lives that they are truely thankful for... not family, or boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses etc.... the real stuff they need to keep them going. With no further ado, I present my partner in crime here at CCD... the man who brought you the greatest Lost Recaps ever & now shows you the amazing world of Lego... the man, the myth, Jeff "Great Odin's Beard!!!" Bond's 5 Things I Am Thankful For!!!
4) Movies- . Sometime after my teens I had forgotten about most TV viewing and spent my time catching up on films from the past 30 years. I broke away from that TV hiatus when, one evening, I came across the first episode of a show called 'LOST' that seemed like it was rooted in EVERYTHING I love about films...and didn't share many qualities with other TV shows I had seen. Since it's been off the air, it hasn't been easily replaced and I find myself, again, delving into a new space adventure, or horror flick, an action thriller or date movie. While others spend their time marathon-ing their favorite TV shows. I'd much rather disappear in to a different 2-hour world once or twice a day. Keep all these TV shows that usually outstay their welcome and run out of ideas. Give me a movie any day, instead.
3) Star Wars- It seems insane but, I don't think that there's a day that goes by that doesn't have some connection to Star Wars in some way. Whether I'm discussing the films, thinking about my old toys, helping to create posts for Cultural Compulsive Disorder, or just having some random conversation with someone in which the force, epic Good vs. Evil feuds, or see a random stranger baring the likeness of REE-YEES...Star Wars plays a role. It is said that every episode of 'Seinfeld' contains Superman in some way shape or form...and 'Star Wars' is my 'Superman' in that way.
2) Food- I literally think about what pleasure my next meal will bring me the second I finish my previous meal. It's Not healthy to seek comfort in food I know but I do it and I can't picture a day without at least one meal that looks and tastes pretty epic. The perfect slice of pizza...a salad piled so enormously high that it cancels out it's nutritional value....a burger complimented just so with my favorite toppings. I'd be an angry man if I suddenly found myself in one of those futuristic societies that served only pills as meal replacements.
1) Yooki (my pup!)- She's usually one of the first things I see or hear when I awake in the morning and one of the last things I see or hear each day before I shut down. Before I owned a puppy, I thought it was strange when people told me their pets kept them centered and calm, now I know I'd probably put my fist through the wall at least once a week if I didn't have a hairy 7 pound child to greet me at the door when I come home each day. This may fall into the category of 'family and friends' but, screw that! On some levels she's even more important to me these days than even those.

5 Things I Am Thankful For: Mike DeVito Edition
Since today is Thanksgiving, I decided to have some of CCD's closest friends & contributors share the 5 things in their lives that they are truly thankful for... not family, or boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses etc.... the real stuff they need to keep them going. With no further ado, I present my own list of the 5 Things I Am Thankful For... shit, it's my site, so I'm going 1st!!!!!
5) My Personal Technology- Lets get one thing straight... I am addicted to tech!!! I am not a hardcore techie in the sense that I know how things work and such, but I am obsessed with the non stop forward movement of technology on a whole. Video Games, TV, Movies, Music... shit, all of these things are made better through technology. My downtime in life revolves around the computer by choice... I love having access to anything I want, when I want it. Not to mention this blog and what it has done to change my life. Press Passes to the NYC Comic Con? Check. Freebies in the mail? Check. Press Screenings for movies? Check. New friends like Cal from The Cave of Cool and Johnny from Freddy In Space? Check!!!! What can I say... I'm the non-tech savvy techie.... and I love it!!!!
4) Nikes- Yes, its true. My name is Mike and I am a sneaker-holic. I have a problem. Currently that problem is sitting at around 175 pairs of sneakers that I have to find a place to store. Yup, I said it. And I just got rid of about 10-15 pairs!!! Although I do love New Balance, Adidas, Reebok, Pumas, Converse, and all the rest, lets be honest: They ain't got shit on Nike. Both Nike and Jordan brand sneakers are what make me me... I am the BIGGEST JORDAN/NIKE FAN EVER!!!! There is nothing better then a pair of Air Jordan 3's in the world.... unless there are some Air Jordan 4's behind it!!!
3) Bob Kane & Batman - I am a uber comic nerd... yes, this is true. I love many books, but none like The Dark Knight. Mr. Bob Kane, I owe you 1,000's of hours of gratitude for the 1,000's of hours of joy your creation has given me. I think it has to do with the fact that Batman is the roughest, toughest mofo on the block... kicking ass, taking names... but with no super powers, just hard work. He will kick some aforementioned ass, take some aforementioned names... but never cross the line. He may operate in a black and white world, but he is constantly foraying into the gray area... and that's where I live my life. Thank you Mr. Kane, from the bottom of my heart.
2) Kreecher - I am a dog lover... have been my whole life. Had a few dogs growing up, and I fucking loved them. One thing I never thought I would be: A cat person. That was until my wonderful baby Kreecher came into my life. I got this little Calico bundle of fur when she was a few weeks old, and she was a peanut. I turned her into a wild attack cat by playing with her as if she were a pit bull... she is the coolest cat ever. How many other cats you know eat Mozzarella & Twizzlers? But around 6 months ago, the wild monster known as Kreecher (named after the house elf in Harry Potter & my love of monster movies!) calmed down and became super mellow. No more play biting and scratching... she is cooler then the other side of the pillow. Tara & I refer to her as Kreecher 2.0 now. She is the best snuggler and her freakish appetite makes me laugh. I love my kitteh sooooo much.... look at her, how could you not love that face???

5 Things That I Am Thankful For: Briana Melendez Edition
Since today is Thanksgiving, I decided to have some of CCD's closest friends & contributors share the 5 things in their lives that they are truely thankful for... not family, or boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses etc.... the real stuff they need to keep them going. With no further ado, I present the ever fabulous and super cool Briana Melendez's 5 Things I Am Thankful For!!!
5) Coffee- This java goodness is truly the fuel that gets this machine running. Without it I would be one lazy cranky bitch.
4) XBox 360- Through this wondrous gift from the Gods (AKA Bill Gates) I've have been entertained into idleness and away from productivity through gaming.
3) NetFlix Streaming- In the further advancement to my complete lack of productivity NetFlix has provided me with countless hours of movie & TV show viewing when cable has failed me.
2) 5 Pointz- On my daily ride on the 7 I get to pass by this awesome reflection of the City's great graffiti history. It always helps perk up my morning.
1) Jane Austen- I have an unhealthy obsession with her work. Books, Movies, TV Mini-series, side stories based on her work....I just can't get enough.

5 Things That I Am Thankful For: Sam James Edition
Since today is Thanksgiving, I decided to have some of CCD's closest friends & contributors share the 5 things in their lives that they are truely thankful for... not family, or boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses etc.... the real stuff they need to keep them going. With no further ado, I present my Jamaican brother from another mother Sam James's 5 Things I Am Thankful For!!!
1. My Alienware m15 laptop: My whole day starts off with this thing! I Skype with my sister and brand new baby niece every morning; my girl when she's in Deutschland with her fam, surf the web for cool shit, check my mail, and occasionally get some work done!
2. Facebook: God bless Mark Zuckerberg and his arrogantly genius ass. FB has become my primary info source! I stay in touch with friends from all over the world (and check out pics of their hot friends.....MING) get news from the stuff most important to me (shouts out to On the Ground News and CCD).
3. My Blackberry: Again, I'm real big on staying in touch with all my peeps globally, and even though I'm iPhone to the core, Blackberrys give you the best service in Jamaica.
4. My iPhone: Aahh yes, the trusty old 3GS has been a faithful companion for quite some time now! Anybody who's been on a plane longer than an hour and ten minutes knows that shits MURDER; so fitting all my music, movies and TV shows in my pocket with enough juices to run for 8-9 hours straight without dying on ya....shhhiiiiiiiittt!!!
5.My shades: Living in the Caribbean means being blessed with beautiful days nearly year around (sorry Joey Esq. Don't be too mad at me son, just come visit!) so being outdoors is an absolute must! And whether you're driving or laying on the beach, "hater blockers" are a necessity!
One Love CCD peeps. Likkle More!

5 Things That I Am Thankful For: Joe Flesche Edition
Since today is Thanksgiving, I decided to have some of CCD's closest friends & contributors share the 5 things in their lives that they are truly thankful for... not family, or boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses etc.... the real stuff they need to keep them going. With no further ado, I present a life long friend and former college roomate Joe "Fletch" Flesche's 5 Things I Am Thankful For!!!
Joe F's list of '5 items in my life that I need daily & are thankful for'
- Commuting - Crazy right? So let me explain (I'll make it short). I went to school for chemical engineering (I was roomies with Mike D for a year. Yeah son!), and my plan was to work for a pharmaceutical company after getting out of school. Well that was a great idea except for the fact that I could not work in the New York / Long Island area since there is little to no manufacturing facilities in the area. Don't get me wrong, I love the work I do for my company, but I have to commute in order to make the family happy. So, when I commute to work, I get to catch up on things that I normally don't have time for at home. When I was taking public transportation (2 hours each way), I was able to read a ton of books and listen to music. But now I get to drive 50 miles each way to work! Awesome! I have plenty of time to listen to the radio and get agravated on the way home (about 1.5 hours each way). So I am thankful that I have time during the days I commute to work to listen to Cipha Sounds and Rosenburg, NPR, 710AM, 770AM, 1010AM, various mixtapes and hip-hop/rap albums. (Please note that commuting sucks. I'm just trying to make myself feel better about what I have to do. Did I convince you?)
- Working from home - I am lucky that I have a job that allows me to work from home. And any day that I don't have to commute to work is a great day. Yeah I don't get to listen to the radio, but I am thankful that I can work from home and have a bit less stress, more sleep, and more time for me and my family.
- Google - I'm not just talking about http://www.blogger.com/www.google.com as a search engine. I'm specifically talking about the Google suite of software; Google Mail, Google Calendar (with Tasks), Google Reader, Blogspot/Blogger, Documents, Picasa, Chrome, etc. I am so very thankful every day for Google having a fantastic product line that is absolutely free. The product that I use most is the Google Calendar. We use it as a family to scheduling everything; there is never a question when there's a doctor appointment or a family party. I also use Google Reader to keep track of all of my websites that I frequent (CCD!). If you don't use the Google products, you're missing out!
- Hair - I have the uncanny ability to grow hair at a rapid rate. This could be looked at as a curse (the need for frequent haircuts, excessive chest hair, back hair, the need for grooming, etc.) or as a blessing (for obvious top of the head reasons, beards, mustaches or because I could pass as a werewolf). But I am thankful every day that I have a full mane of hair!
- Getting my crap together - I have been lifting and running inconsistantly since college, without much to show for it. I could never get my act together. Within the past month, I have been thinking of some things that 2 important people in my life have said. The two most important things are...
- Stop being a pussy. JoeyESQ
- Its hard for life to get in the way at 5AM. George M
-Joe F

5 Things That I Am Thankful For: James West Edition
Since today is Thanksgiving, I decided to have some of CCD's closest friends & contributors share the 5 things in their lives that they are truly thankful for... not family, or boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses etc.... the real stuff they need to keep them going. With no further ado, I present the comic book kid himself... Cousin James West's 5 Things That I Am Thankful For!!!
5) My iPod Touch - Oh, iPod. Whatever would I do without you? Whether it’s the entertainment of downloading music in order to fill you up, or to drown out whatever noises may be annoying me in the outside world, you always come in handy. For that, I thank you. (Currently listening to: Passin’ Me By- Pharcyde, and the Thanksgiving Song- Adam Sandler).
4) Indoor Plumbing - Self explanatory. Where would we be without it?
3) Comic Books - Oh, you joyous bundles of entertainment. Thank you, thank you, for teaching me how to read, providing me with an imagination that spans an entire universe separate from our own, showing me characters that I can relate to in times of need and look up to in times of aspiration, and just for being good fun since 1938.
2) Harry Potter - I recently saw the latest film at the midnight opening- I must say, it truly reawakened by love for Harry. I started reading the first book around 98/99, pretty much before everyone (something I brag about often- also the fact that I dressed up like him in third grade and no one knew who he was). However, I have only read each of the books once- so the last time I read anything was about 3 years ago. Seeing everything in the newest movie spark memories of Harry that I had forgotten (something the sixth movie failed to do) reminded me of two things- One, that I need to reread all the books, and two, how important Harry has been, as I have essentially grown up with the character for over half my life (our ages pretty much coincided with all the books). So thank you, Harry Potter.
1) The Christmas Season - Always starts the day after Thanksgiving in my household, and what a happy time it is. Easily my favorite part of the year. Can’t wait to carry out all the festivities this year…
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I know all you Losties out there feel it too... its an empty feeling when watching these TV shows now a days. No matter how great Paz de la Huerta's tits look bouncing on Boardwalk Empire, or how many zombies Rick Grimes takes a pick axe to the head of in The Walking Dead, nor how many celeb filled cameo mashups the sexy bitches (and the guys as well) of Glee sing each week.... it all just falls short. So since I am a fat ass, and a Lost geek of epic proportions, I decided to show you guys 5 of the coolest "Lost" themed cakes I have ever seen. Check it out... and tell me what you guys miss about Lost the most in the comment section below.

Star Wars Art: Visions - My Top 5 by Mike D
While the whole book is phenomenal, we thought the best way to share it with you guys would be to pick our favorite 5 pictures out of the book. Talk about a tough job... they are all so great!!! You can purchase the book at your local bookstore or by clicking here. CCD strongly recommend this book for all the Star War Geeks, for which you need to find a gift, during the Xmas season. So with no further ado, here is Mr. Mike D's top 5 pcitures from Star Wars Art: Visions...

| The Mos Eisley Cantina w/ George Lucas as bartender by Paul Oxborough |
I was immediately drawn to include this wonderful picture of George Lucas as the bartender at The Mos Eisely Cantina by Paul Oxborough for one reason: Why does everybody hate George Lucas so much? Listen, no matter how you feel about his decisions with the direction of the franchise, or how much you hate the prequels, at the end of the day we owe it all to him. This is his baby... and it pisses me off when people seem to dismiss that. His decision making may not be perfect, nor popular amongst core Star Wars fans... but guess what: Tough Shit!!!! It's his franchise, so he can do whatever the fuck he wants....
***Please click Read more below to see the rest of Mike D's favorite Star Wars: Vision picks***
Star Wars Art: Visions - My Top 5 by Jeff Bond
Thanks to Amy Franklin over at Abrams Books, CCD were lucky enough to recieve two copies of the wonderful new book Star Wars Art: Visions.

| Boba Fett, 'The Hunter' by M. Kungl |
With the usage of brilliant colors and sharp edged shapes in the the design, this one IMMEDIATELY jumped out at me. About the piece the artist, Michel Kungl said this:
"Having mechanical attributes, Boba Fett enabled me to paint some of my favorite gadgets and objects, including the rocket pack with flame exhaust (his trademark firearm) and distressed-metal armor.
