If you've ever wondered what it would look like to see Mortal Kombat's Scorpion execute a "GET OVER HERE!" impalement on Freddy Krueger, then you're in luck! Mortal Kombat 9, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, will feature Krueger as a downloadable character who will add some slashing to an already slice and dice video game franchise. Now, horror fans will know that Krueger isn't your average benevolent Sandman. In the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, Krueger is the baddie who brings your worst nightmares to life. In MK: 9 Krueger unleashes carnage on some of your oldest and favorite Mortal Kombat characters. With, not one, but two claws, fire wielding powers, and fatalities that will leave you curled up in the fetal position. The addition of Krueger to a classic is sure to make for an amazing video game experience.

True Blood: Season 4 Premiere
SPOILER ALERT!!
If you have not yet watched the season 4 premiere of True Blood which aired last Sunday, make sure you do...soon! But also make sure to come back and read this post and leave your thoughts and opinions on the episode.
If you know me then you know that I am a HUGE...huge True Blood fan, be it books, graphic novels, or the TV series. I've read all of the books in Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries Series including her latest, Dead Reckoning. I finished that awesome book in about T-minus 8 seconds and now I'm having so much withdrawal that I might just re-read the entire series to compensate before the next novel in 2012. True Blood is based on Harris' novels, each season based on a respective novel, but director Alan Ball also takes some creative liberties when it comes to plot and characters. Because I love the novels so much, I would love every aspect to be recreated onscreen. Unfortunately, the season 4 premiere left a bit to be desired for me. However, this post is in no way saying that I will not be giving the rest of the season a chance and an adhesive-like propinquity to the television Sunday evenings. Are you ready for some pros and cons?!
Did that feel like football to you guys?! No? Okay, let's move on...
Cons:
- Bill currently has way too much power in both human and vampire politics.
- Eric now owns Sookie's house and apparently...Sookie. What?
- Sam and his brother's storyline of dysfunction is just lasting way too long.
- Sheriff Andy Bellefleur is hooked on V and is off the wall. For a season or two there I had actually started liking him.
- Tara now appears to be living a double life as Kimbo Slice.
Pros:
- The year time jump in the show allowed for the characters to mature and for the storylines to not feel so clustered.
- Nelsan Ellis is a brilliant actor who makes the character Lafayette come to life on screen. His character is taking a big shift from the novels, but in a great way!
- Jason has definitely matured and the werepanther storyline appears to be moving along nicely.
- Arlene and René's baby is a great plot twist. It will be very interesting to see where that story goes.
Black Swan with Benefits
If you've seen Black Swan, then you most likely remember how Mila Kunis' character appears to shadow Natalie Portman's life and seemingly attempts to take it over. And then there was that scene between the two actresses.
THAT scene! (You know the one...)
Anyway, in January 2011, fans find Miss Portman and Ashton Kutcher starring in No Strings Attached, a romantic comedy about friends with benefits. Flash forward to July 2011 and we find Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake starring in a romantic comedy titled, none other than, Friends With Benefits. The two main characters agree to have an intimate relationship with, you guessed it, no strings attached. As my head begins to spin with the cyclical nature of plots and the sheer subpar acting of Ashton Kutcher, I'll just say that I'm feeling a bit punk'd at the moment.

Firefox 4: Foxier
I just recently upgraded to Firefox 4. I am loving it so far. It's so fast and sleek. There is less hoop-la at the top of the window in the toolbar, so it feels like I have also upgraded to a wider screen. Ha! Of course there is room for upgrading the toolbar, but I like the feel of less buttons, and more viewing space.
