One of my favorite games to play is dream casting movies. So, anime fans, let's cast Hellsing!
I'm re-watching the OVA's and the series and it is becoming my second favorite (behind Cowboy Bebop cuz duh), and there are rumors about a live action Hellsing film.
LET THE CASTING BEGIN!

So Kittie has some questions about Pokemon Go. We have probably all have installed this on our phones at one point or another. However, are people still playing it? Does it even matter to 2017?

Personally, I have enjoyed the game, but I didn't get obsessed. I liked playing with my friends. It got us out of the house and got us moving outside. We weren't stupid about it. We still paid attention to each other and our surroundings. It just added a bit of spice to our otherwise routine lives.

Now, there were always people who were stupid, drove recklessly, trespassed, and over all got themselves in a lot of trouble. With any GPS based game (Run, Zombie, Run comes to mind), there will be stupid people doing stupid things for the sake of a stupid game that really doesn't even matter. It's a fact of life. These are the same people who probably don't believe in vaccines and put their cell phones in the microwave to charge it (but that's another topic). I remember, years ago, reading about a car wreck due to someone playing Run, Zombie, Run, on the freeway, trying to avoid make-believe zombies. I don't know if it was real or fake but the fact of the matter is, there are stupid people out there who do this s**t. They literally ruin the fun for those who are responsible enough to not hurt themselves or other over a cell phone game.

Recklessness aside, is Pokemon Go still relevant? Do people still love it? Or is it another faded trend that no longer matters?

The hot places to go for Pokemon Go aren't so crowded that your internet connection is f**ked up, however you can usually still find a few people still happily playing in these areas. Upon conducting a poll online, it seems many people are still playing, even if it's just occasionally.

The weather is getting warmer in most places, which means people are going to be outside a lot more. Don't be surprised if as summertime comes that more people are playing more frequently. It's the perfect game that gets you outside and socializing!

This summer, don't forget the sunscreen while you're out hunting pokemon! Sunburn is the f**king worse. But if you're not going to play, that’s okay too, but don't be an as***le about it. People are allowed to have fun and enjoy things.

Where is the marketing for Wonder Woman?

With the film coming out in about 5 weeks, where is the avalanche of promotion: the fast food tie-ins, the toys, the ads for the toys, or even the YouTube ads that they force you to watch or skip? We actually have more promotion for the Justice League movie, which comes out this November, than we do for a big-budget flick that’s about to come out at the height of the summer movie season.

Well, let's look at some of the possibilities:

1. The studio has no faith in the movie.
Maybe. But if we look back at the release of Su***de Squad in August of last year, we remember a firestorm of ads. And we know for a fact that Warner Bros. had very little confidence in the film, so they punched out a s**t ton of marketing to get those big opening weekend numbers. Now if you look at the money they have spent on marketing both movies, you will find that they dumped about $2.5 million on Su***de Squad and $3.4 million on Wonder Woman. So those numbers don't really add up. where did they put that money?

2. They don't want to compete with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Who would? Marvel is doing a great job with promoting GOTG2. Currently, Chris Pratt and the rest of the cast are on a massive worldwide press tour. Marvel already had screenings for critics weeks ago (with mostly wonderful reviews). Where is Gal Gadot? Since Marvel's newest fare comes out next week, maybe we will start seeing WW promotions after the Galaxy buzz calms down.

3. The studio thinks people will realize it's about a woman.
Goddamn I hope this isn't the case, but I wouldn’t be surprised. Wonder Woman is not just one of (if not THE) most important and iconic comic book characters in the world, this is the first big-budget super hero movie with a female lead and a female director. I’ll be the first to admit that I had massive doubts with Gal Gadot as Diana Prince, and I’ll be damned, she stole the show in Bats**t v Super Wooden Man. She was the best part of the movie. The director, Patty Jenkins, may not have a lot of work under her belt, but she has won awards for pretty much everything she has done. Just to list a few: Monster (she won best director with AFI and the DGA), the pilot for the AMC show The Killing (won an Emmy for that one), and even an episode of Arrested Development. She really loves her work and cares how things are done.

My take on this is that they better not f**k it up. Wonder Woman is basically a litmus test for future female-led movies. I want to see a Captain Marvel movie, I want to see She-Hulk in her own movie, and please, please make a Gotham City Sirens movie. If this film is not done with respect and given the same promotional visibility as movies they know are garbage, we may never see anything like it again.

So I just learned about 2 very odd cameos for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Maybe major spoilers ahead so tread lightly..
Miley Cyrus and David Hasselhoff
Cyrus will voice Mainframe. The Android that starts the New Avengers in the comics.

Hasselhoff will be singing the theme song for the movie. So not really a cameo but still cool as s**t.

Did Kim Jung Un threaten to "wipe America off the face of the planet"?

There are many "news" outlets reporting that the threat was released out of Pyongyang, Korea. While researching, I could find no trustworthy site reporting this. But does it still matter?

It absolutely does! While we really don't know much of what actually happens in North Korea, we do know our President. We know for a fact that he gets most of his news off of Fox News and yes, they are reporting this. Trump reacts to these things like a child who lost their balloon. We can only hope that the White House staff does their job to keep his fat little finger off the button.

Should we be worried about NK?
Very much so.
We love to make fun of Kim Jung Un, but he is testing his missiles. Sure, it's funny when they fail, but one day they won't. That's how these kinds of tests work. Same way we did it as well as Russia.

So, I ask you, should we nip this in the bud and attack NK now, or should we find a more peaceful option?

I'm Kittie and I have an addiction to pretty smelly things. Soap, lotion, oils, candles, I love it all. Anyways last time I was at this local street fair, they had a handmade bar soap booth. Naturally I got some bars and tried one out. This was my experience.

This soap LOOKS like it comes from a f**king fairytale! Bring out your little inner magical princess that loves girly ass unicorns and Lisa Frank animals! She's screaming to come out, big man; just let her f**king come out!

So I took a shower with this oddly sexy looking soap called FAIRYTALE DREAM by Ohana Soaps and Bath Products, and it leathers up real fast. Get it all nice and wet and it becomes a milky, creamy, sudsy mess with your naked ass right there. Add rubbing your body all over, who needs a boyfriend when you got this soap? My skin was left silky f**king soft afterwards too! And it really does smell like a dream!

The bar itself is pretty big and I broke it in half easily. It really doesn't take much to get enough suds to wash your filthy self, too.

Why you should care: Ohana has unique scents like “dirt” and “unicorn poo.” Ballsy names and scents for ballsy people. Also the soaps are natural and handmade. Even better! Though I kind of want to smell like unicorn poo...

Other cool stuff: Ohana has a I Love Your Soap (of the month) subscription for all you subscription box nerds out there. Get one soap or four. All random. Pretty awesome.

Overall, I would buy again! And will probably keep these soaps in stock!

This could be the best show in Syfy history.

In the Grindhouse-infected future of 1999, Arthur Bailey is the last good cop among a horde of corrupt officials. He’s about to get caught up in a race where...

Kittie again with an alternate basic recipe caused by boredom, curiosity, and buying too much food for one person.

Creamy Chicken Ramen. Definitely my favorite f**king flavor. If they sold it in the 12-pack, I’d be an even bigger fat ass than I already am. And I discovered a way to make it even more f**king delicious.

Replace the water with MILK. Cow juices. A lactose-intolerant’s nightmare. I don't know how much to ACTUALLY use, cause I just pour til I think it's enough (how I drink too). How I seem to live my life anyway, why should ramen be any damn different? Then you add the f**king delicious flavor packet, let it boil, add the ramen, then BAM deliciousness in your f**king mouth.

Don't attempt if you don’t know how to f**king cook with milk. Like you don't put it in a f**king pot and leave it like you do with weak ass water. You have to tend to it, stroke and stir it, make sure it doesn't clump and look like nasty ass vomit.

If you do it right then it's f**king delicious creamy noodly dream. I'll probably become double the fat ass than I already am.
