Djesus Uncrossed

Written by Stu Cooper

On the most recent edition of Saturday Night Live there was a particular skit that has created a bit of a controversy. The skit revolves around the possibility of Tarantino making a movie about Jesus rising from the grave to take revenge on those who wronged him. The name of the mock film is “Djesus Uncrossed” and it was one of the funniest things I’ve seen on SNL in years. The last time I laughed this hard at a parody on SNL was when they did the mock trailer for “Unbreakable” (The Denzel Washington underwhelming train flick.)

The trailer shows Jesus in classic Tarantino style, hunting down his enemies and laying waste to them. Christoph Waltz’s straight faced portrayal of Jesus adds to the hilarity. It’s obvious that it’s all in good humor considering guns are being used in the trailer, and one liners are being spouted. I almost did a spit take when Jesus said "When you get to heaven, tell my father I said Hi!". My face hurts from smiling as I type this, thinking of all the funny little moments. Instead of describing it further, I suggest you checkout the parody in this post. If you are offended easily, it may not be for you, but if that is the case then I don’t know why you are reading this blog to begin with. In some countries a parody like this would cause political uproar, but in America we are lucky enough to have a strong sense of humor, and when compared to something like “Passion of the Christ”, this is really nothing to be upset about. Let the offensive humor begin! Enjoy…

Dallas Comic-Con presents The Sci-fi Expo 2013

Written by Stu Cooper

This past weekend I was able to attend the Sci-fi Expo in Dallas,Texas. The show was presented by the same group that does the Dallas Comic-Con and Dallas Fan Days conventions every year. I had a bad taste in my mouth regarding these cons due to a less than thrilling visit with the Dallas Comic-con last year, but a lot of the issues I had with the con last year had actually been resolved. There wasn't overcrowding or ridiculous 3 hour entry lines. Everything ran rather smoothly. It was a pleasant surprise and enabled me to really enjoy the convention.

I must say after attending 14 or so conventions I thought I may start to become jaded but I've found that coming to the conventions in costume, and meeting other costumed attendees is really where the fun lies. I enjoy the autographs but after tons of celebs, you become numb to the guest announcements. I just recently started dressing up at conventions this past October. It is an entirely different experience! It's quite fun being approached by people for pictures and it is a great conversation starter. I've made several friends this way. Unfortunately I was only able to attend one day but in that one day I was able to meet several interesting people, talented cosplayers, artists, and Avery Brooks , known most famously for his role as Benjamin Sisko on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Another show under my belt and another adventure to remember.
