Dolph Lundgren Behind-The-Scenes Interview

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 16:02:00 -0800

You all know action star Dolph Lundgren for his appearance as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV or perhaps for his role as He-Man in the Masters of the Universe film, but how many of you know about his days as an Engineering student, the years of work it took for him to get from Sweden to the U.S., what it was like for him to go from being unknown to a famous actor almost over night and his almost- career in politics? Not many of you. Plus, we bet even fewer of you know what it was like for him working with Jet Li, Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone on the upcoming movie The Expendables. However, you can find out about all of that right now by watching this eye opening behind-the-scenes interview.

Hasbro's Star Wars Diorama Contest

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 12:54:00 -0800

If you thought dioramas were just for little kids, think again. Hasbro is currently hosting a Star Wars: The Clone Wars diorama contest where you can vote for your favorite scene out of the five finalists. Unfortunately, none of the submissions are contained in a shoebox (which I personally believe should have been in the rules) but there's still plenty of nerdy talent!

And no, designing a diorama does not equal playing with dolls. They're action figures, dammit.

Dolph Lundgren Breaks Kevin Pereira On The Set Of AOTS

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 18:04:00 -0800

Today, on Attack of the Show Kevin and Olivia were joined by Dolph Lundgren. You may recognize him from Rocky IV as Drago and Master of the Universe as He-Man. Dolph stopped by the set to talk about his upcoming movie The Expendables. While in studio he even taught Kevin a few self-defense moves. There was a bit where he was dressed as bear, don't believe us? Check out the behind-the-scene pictures to see for yourself.

Sad Bear

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 15:46:00 -0800

Is there a "sad" category to file this blog post under? Because this pitiful, hairless bear from a German zoo would be a perfect fit.

Who knew that without all that fur, bears look just like wrinkly kangaroos...or rats. Hairless squirrels? The exact animal escapes me, but regardless, the lesson has been learned: stop looking at bald bears.

That's right. Dolph Lundgren is coming to Attack of the Show tonight. Yes, we promised you that he'd be here earlier this week but when a small village in Sweden is under seige by a rogue band of ninjas, SOMEONE has to fly over there and save the day.

Actual Great Moments in De-Evolution: DeLorean Time Machine

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 14:45:00 -0800

How awesome is this?? An almost exact replica of Doc Brown's DeLorean from Back to the Future is available to purchase over eBay. It's not the actual model used in the totally awesome trilogy, but according to the seller, it's even better!

This car is what you want, a car that looks exactly like what you saw in the film, with all the cool lights, sounds and buttons you thought the car in the film had (but never really did). People are often really disappointed when they see a prop up close. Movie props are designed to be filmed from a distance, but this car truly looks and feels "real" even up close.

Holy crap!! This is mindblowing! There's a bunch of cool stuff about the car that I'd tell you about, but my eyes started to glaze over when I saw all the text.

The seller is hoping someone wants to buy this replica for almost $130,000. Here's where the De-evolution part comes in: some people are dumb enough to spend that much money on a time machine car that doesn't even work.

....Or does it? BRB.

Behind the People of People of Walmart

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 14:43:00 -0800

Oh, People of Walmart. Your blog exists to remind us what the United States of America is really about: not freedom, not the right to bear arms, but good deals, better personalities and the best class you can find around the world.

Attack of the Blog! recently caught up with the trio behind People of Walmart, a hilarious site dedicated to showing the world all the weird, strange, and downright "is that for real?" customers of America's shopping supercenters. Check out what Luke Wherry, Andrew Kipple and Adam Kipple had to say about their viral phenomenon.

How did you guys get started on the People of Walmart site?
The three of us needed some stuff at our local South Carolina Walmart. So we headed out on a Saturday around 2 p.m. or so. We were walking through the dairy section and saw an overweight woman wearing a pink tube top, short shorts with her ass hanging out, stripper boots, and her 3 year old was on one of those child leashes. A light bulb went off.

What do think it is that draws these characters to Walmart? There are just so many Walmarts across the country that you are bound to see a few crazies every once in a while. Apparently it happens a lot more often than one may think!

Have you heard from Walmart at all about your new phenomenon?
The only thing that we heard from Walmart was a statement from one of their affiliates. "A couple of kids putting pictures on the internet isn't newsworthy to us." That was probably early September and we haven't heard anything since.

Who is the first Person of Walmart?
The first submission was from one of our friends who happened to have the picture on his iPhone before we even told him about the site. The picture is "Who Wears Short Shorts?" and you can see it on the very last page of the site.

Do you guys have any plans to spin off into People of Kmart, People of the 99 Cent Store or People of other shopping centers?
The person who bought the rights to PeopleofKMart.com contacted us and we pretty much told him good luck, but the chances of having the kind of success that we have had is unlikely. KMart doesn't hit home like Walmart does for a lot of people. We also got very lucky. If our site didn't get into the right hands like it did then we wouldn't be doing this interview!

How do you (and your fans) find these people? No, seriously. I’ve been to Walmart on both coasts but have never seen people like the ones on your site. Any tips on how to track these outrageous Americans down?
HAHA. Great question. Go to Walmart after 1 a.m. and you will see plenty. As they say "the freaks come out at night".

Who would win in a fight: A person of Walmart or a G4tv.com fan? Answer carefully.
You have seen the people of Walmart. Does it look like they could put up much of a fight? Probably not. So I'll chalk one up for a G4tv.com fan.

Describe your all-time favorite person of Walmart.
I would have to give that one to our contest winner who we refer to as "the paint huffer". I think the caption for his picture was "Need More Supplies". When I opened up the e-mail and saw that picture, I lost it.

Describe what you would be doing and wearing if you, yourselves, were people of Walmart.
We would each be rocking a pair of Zubaz (Google it), a Bad Boy Club tie-dye tank top, Reebok pumps, a mullet, and 4 to 5 gold chains. You would find us in the automotive department shopping for Yosemite Sam mud flaps for our '86 I-Roc.

Sony PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360? Favorite videogame?
All three of us have XBox 360's. We play a ton of NHL 10, but we are also really looking forward to the new Call of Duty game. We play a ton of video games. Our gamer tag is PeopleOfWalmart. Check us out.

Word of the Day - voluble - (VAHL-yuh-bul) - great flow of words; talking much and easily. Example: The voluble witness would explain his story to the detectives for hours.

Record of the Day - Kim Goodman holds the world record for the furthest eyeball popper, measuring at 12 mm beyond her eye sockets.

Born on this Day - Nelly - rap/hip-hop artist

This Day in History - 1983 - Martin Luther King's birthday became a national holiday.
