Spoon!!


What do you do when members of you cult find half of a relic, that when joined with the other half, releases an indestructible force trapped beneath the ocean? And this force is named Cthulhu? You find the descendant of H. P. Lovecraft, of course.


That’s what happens in The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu. Comic artist Jeff (Kyle Davis – Friday the 13th) is the last descendant of H. P. Lovecraft, and a Lovecraftian cult has found a relic and charged Jeff with the safekeeping of the object.

You don’t know what a woot-off is? It’s where Woot sells one product at a time until they sell out, then they move on the the next item, while all the while everyone just wants to buy a Bandolier of Carrots or a Box of Chorizo. If that doesn’t make sense yet, maybe you better read all about the great deals they have.

Movie Review: The Adjustment Bureau

Throughout history, people have questioned whether or not we have truly been given free will – the ability to choose our own path in the world – or if our fate has been pre-determined and is completely out of our hands. What would you do if you were told that your life is on a path that you cannot control? Would you go along for the ride or would you strike out and try to find your own way? In the new movie, The Adjustment Bureau, David Norris (Matt Damon) must attempt to forge his own path and fight against those who have determined that his destiny has been decided.
