Movie News
Fresh from BNAT Quint shows some love to KICK-ASS and has a rundown of the Iron Man 2 trailer!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here writing to you post-BNAT after a short 3 hour nap and massive amounts of pasta with a good two dozen dazed, bleary-eyed BNATers including such web superstars as Peter Sciretta of Slashfilm, Devin Faraci of CHUD and the great turncoat Drew McWeeny currently of Hitfix as well as Tim and Karrie League and some of the coolest cats in attendance at the fest this year.
I don't want to do a blow by blow recap of BNAT… you're going to be getting tons of that over the next couple of days from far better writers than yours truly, but before focusing on a few specific movies from the event I do want to commend Harry on one of the best programming jobs of any BNAT. I should know, having been fortunate enough to attend every single one. You've outdone yourself, Big Red.
Now I do get asked frequently about Butt-Numb-A-Thon as an experience and how that influences one's opinion on a film. It's a valid question. Can opinions out of BNAT be trusted or does the energy and the exclusivity of the event feed into a radically different movie-watching perspective that couldn't possibly be matched by the typical theatrical showing?
I'd be a fool to deny that a great screening can influence one's opinion of a movie. Look at Harry's notorious Godzilla review. I was there when he got back from New York, having watched the movie in Madison Square Garden sitting with Muhammad Ali and 10,000 other loudly enthusiastic people. Harry's enthusiasm for the event and the experience was evident just as much as the crushing look of "Oh shit…" on his face when he rewatched the movie in a regular theater and saw it stripped of all the bells and whistles, leaving a hollow and frankly horrible movie.
It has been widely reported that KICK-ASS's big premiere at Butt-Numb-A-Thon stole the show from such veteran filmmakers as Peter Jackson, Martin Scorsese and James Cameron in terms of sheer audience enjoyment and that's 100% true. The audience fucking loved the movie, cheering throughout, laughing at all the in-jokes and comedic moments, clapping in rhythm to the music as Hit Girl painted a bloody masterpiece of gore and violence across the screen and just plain old buzzed about the flick for hours afterwards. Hell, at dinner tonight the conversation was 80% Kick-Ass.
In terms of Kick-Ass's BNAT reception does the experience make the movie or the movie make the experience? That's the big question.
In all honesty I can't give you a definite answer, but my gut reaction is that the movie made the experience and I'll tell you why.
As raucous as the screening was there was a technical issue that popped up after Hit Girl (the clear audience favorite character) does her first act of carnage about a reel and a half into the film (25-30-ish minutes in). The center speaker literally fizzled out, giving the audio a muted quality not dissimilar to being underwater. The Alamo folks quickly stopped the movie and it took a good 20 minutes to fix.
It wasn't the perfect screening, but the movie survived the pause in its first big action scene. In a lot of ways it added to the excitement of the crowd. You see, Matthew Vaughn had us all hooked by this point, so instead of the crowd losing steam and interest we started buzzing instead, excitedly talking about the beginning of the movie with our friends and neighbors.
When the Alamo's crack squad of managers and techies fixed the problem (seriously, it was like watching an elite bomb squad that just spotted an IED on some Iraqi roadside at work) they restarted the movie we got to see Hit Girl's real introduction again, this time with the correct sound and the audience "Oohed" and "Awed" at the exact same moments… and I include myself in there.
Vaughn's film is a love letter to super hero comics and movies that manages to stay true to the mythology of those stories while also working as a deconstruction of those archetypes. That's the dangerous line this movie walks. There are moments of over the top action that would have turned into a Zucker-ish spoof if Vaughn had taken it one step further. And if that had happened it would have ruined the movie.
The cut of the movie we saw was rough. There seemed to be a lot of early render gore… spurting blood, sword stabbings, etc… and there was a temp score in place with some incredibly obvious superhero cues from John Williams' Superman score, Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard's The Dark Knight score and Danny Elfman's Batman score. In a strange way using this iconic music only added to the idol worship that is the basis for the main character of the story.
Young Aaron Johnson plays the lead character, Dave Lizewski, who is special only in his complete averageness. He's not a dweeb being constantly beaten up. He's doesn't belong to any cliques or clubs or sports teams. He's like many of us were in high school: invisible.
He's definitely modeled after Peter Parker. I'm sure Mark Millar has admitted to this, but if he hasn't it's because it's so obvious he doesn't have to.
Dave muses about why there aren't any people out there trying to emulate superheroes from the comics and movies. Like most teenagers that don't belong to any distinct group he and his friends spend a lot of time in the local comic shop bullshitting about fictional people, places and events. Hell, I still spend most of time talking about fictional scenarios, but now I'm paid to… so I guess there's a less losery aspect to that now.
The point is he's very relatable and Johnson plays him very real. He's weak, but has a nervous enthusiasm… just as any geek who would decide to give it a shot at being a real life superhero would be.
Just as in the comic his first attempt at stopping a crime in progress gets him hospitalized for months, but also leaves him with a fucked up nervous system that allows him to take more punishment without feeling it. Not that that really helps him fight better, but he can take more punches without collapsing.
Even when Kick-Ass (his chosen superhero name) becomes famous he's still pretty worthless as a crime fighter. What he does do is inspire others to take up the mantle and that's where the real fun of the movie comes in.
Aaron Johnson deserves a lot of credit for making the movie work, but I'm afraid it's Chloe Moretz that is going to steal the show. Just like Natalie Portman did before her, Moretz is going to make her career with this role, playing a daddy's girl of a different sort.
Nicolas Cage plays her father and the first scene with them both has him, looking creepily like Stanley Tucci's Mr. Harvey from Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones, pointing a gun at his 11 year old daughter in pig-tails saying it's not going to hurt much. The bullet will feel like someone punching her chest. He pulls the trigger and this cute, smiling innocent-looking little girl goes flying back, her puffy pink vest sending out a puff of cotton.
Cage runs over to her and we see the bullet-proof vest underneath her girly pink jacket. She's in training and we later find out Cage and Moretz are a father/daughter vigilante duo. These two are no-holds-barred, vicious foul-mouthed fucking animals when they're on the job, leaving no evidence behind… and not witnesses either.
While Cage is great as Big Daddy, in his Batman-ish outfit (complete with black suit and yellow utility belt and exaggerated Adam West style of speech) it's Chloe Moretz's Hit-Girl that got the audience in an uproar. Here's this innocent little girl slicing and dicing through drug dealers, dropping c-bombs and saying shit that'd make a sailor blush and doing it all within a real performance of a little girl trying to make her father proud.
Hit-Girl has the best action of the movie which is made even better by her age. I mean, it's one thing to see Uma Thurman slice through a dozen Crazy 88s, but to see an 11 year old girl do it? While calling the bad guys cunts no less? Priceless and so damn ballsy that you can't help respect the crazy hard, hard, hard R rated movie Matthew Vaughn pushed through.
Also of note is Christopher Mintz-Plasse as the son of the crime boss (the fantastic Mark Strong who plays Frank D'Amico as an Elias Koteasish family man who just happens to murder people to keep his drug trafficking running smoothly) who is also inspired by Kick-Ass. His Red Mist is flashier and just as useless as a real deal crime fighter as Kick-Ass is, but he's the son of a rich man, so he has flashier toys.
Mintz-Plasse's biggest challenge post-Superbad was shaking loose the McLovin label and actually have a chance at a career. He's not there yet, but his role here is the biggest step away from that pigeonhole that he's taken so far. And if they're doing what I think they're doing to his character we might see him take even bigger steps in future films (God willing).
Make no mistake about it Kick-Ass lives up to its name and does so precisely because it was made outside the studio system. Lionsgate picked it up and, much to their credit, have taken on a tough sell without forcing any changes on Vaughn. If the movie's a success it's because of their gamble in releasing a movie that is willing to push the envelope on audience expectation.
But above all this movie is just fun from start to finish. It's badass, it's cool, it's funny, it's sad… that's all good, but the fun is what I took away from the movie, what I assume most of the Butt-Numb-A-Thon audience took away from the movie. If I was trying to get a quote on the poster I'd call it "a great time at the movies." Shit… I just did that, didn't i? But it's true.
Despite an unintended intermission and rough effects the movie blew the roof off the Alamo Drafthouse at 8 in the morning when wedged in-between the world premiere of the Iron Man 2 trailer and James Cameron's first science-fiction war movie since Terminator 2… and the reason for that? Kick-Ass gave us something different, something smart, something extremely well executed, but most of all something hugely entertaining. It's just a great time at the movies.
Before I leave you I figured I'd give a brief rundown on the Iron Man 2 trailer. That okay? I thought you wouldn't mind.
Most of the first theatrical Iron Man 2 trailer contains footage that screened in the Comic-Con sizzle reel (you can read my description of that trailer here) which was bootlegged a bit if I remember correctly, so there's a good chance some of you fine folks saw that already.
This trailer starts with Tony Stark sitting in front of a Congressional board… press and public behind him and Gary Shandling leading the board in front. They want the Iron Man technology and Stark refuses. From the flashes we see that it's relative peacetime and Iron Man/Tony Stark spends more time flying to special engagements, awards shows (where he's backed up by cheerleaders or dancers wearing red and gold bikinis with a glowing orb in the middle) and the like.
But while Stark is busy trying to get his Stark Expo up and running we leave him and go to Mickey Rourke's prison cell, littered with articles on Stark and his tech. There's a voiceover from Rourke about how much he wants to emulate Stark's work and then we see him out and whipping up the racetrack where Stark is competing.
What wasn't in the Comic-Con reel was an effects shot of Rourke literally whipping a racecar in two (I assume it's Stark's) as it speeds by. In slow motion you see the front end separate in much the manner you'd expect… kinda like a lightsaber strike… but the back end starts flipping up and over the front as Rourke is still finishing his strike.
Another new bit has Stark and Pepper standing near the open end of a flying airplane. He asks for a kiss before he leaves and she takes his helmet, kisses it and throws it out of the plane. He smiles and jumps after it, the camera following him down and into some war-ish hell where he's pursued by missiles, etc.
The big money shot is the last scene of the trailer which starts on Don Cheadle's face as the War Machine mask slides into place and he starts fighting back to back with Iron Man. They showed this segment at Comic-Con, but the difference on the effects is night and day. Now instead of just the two fighting against black they're in a war-torn, fiery environment… War Machine's shoulder mini-guns are whirring taking out men with guns as Iron Man's repulsor rays do their thing.
And we also get a glimpse of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, but not much more than a brief bit of a beat down she employs to some poor schmuck in a hallway somewhere and a quick shot of Sam Jackson as Nick Fury.
It's a lot of frenetic energy and I suppose does its job, especially for a teaser, but you don't get too much of an idea of the story or a real set up to where Rourke is coming from as a new addition to the universe. But all in good time, right? The flick's still a half-year away-ish, yeah?
There you go. Now I'm going to actually get a real night's sleep. I'll be back soon with my thoughts on Avatar (quick: is good), Shutter Island (quick: is good) and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's MicMacs (quick: is fuckin' good).

Don't know. Didn't talk to him about it, honestly. I might want to watch it again before I make an official comment myself as I was a bit loopy when it started playing a good 26 hours into my day. Without a doubt the action stuff at the end is sweet and I like the characters... the story might be a bit been there done that, but just watching how Cameron tells the story is what makes it fresh if that makes any sense. The dude still has the eye. Not that anyone asked for my opinion, but I gave it anyway. Heh.

by DuncanMonkey
My review is up on Den of Geek (http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/373878/kickass_screening_review.html) and I'm glad to see that my girlfriend and I weren't alone in thinking it was fantastic. If I had to chose my poster quote (and you're not alone in wanting to be associated with the film!), I'd go for (to paraphrase) 'Not just the best comic book movie since The Dark Knight, but the best movie since The Dark Knight'. Here's hoping it makes truckloads of cash...

Lets remember he gave that piece of shit T4 a four star review, and Gijoe a 8.5. I guess bith films moved him....to a bigger house!...But seriously, after watching the films he promotes like Watchmen, drag me to hell etc...which then duly bomb at the b.o, It become quite clear he cant tell the difference between something truly cool, or the insular internet fanboy shit he pimps. Oh how it makes me happy that almost every thing he loves fails.....

KICK ASS may prove that Vaughn is the director we don't quite deserve... I love that he didn't get tied up in Marvel's corporate bullshit (penny-pinchers), but I do want this man to direct a serious big-time capes movie. SUPERMAN reboot maybe? I don't know, but his talent is needed... desperately.

by ISleptWithKathyBatesAndAllThatIGotWasThisStupidTalkbackName
He didn't want to do X-Men 3 so he didn't. He wanted to make Stardust snd so he did (and I loved that movie - i know a few people didn't, but i thought it was great!)
He wanted to make Kick-Ass, even though nobody would back it. So he made it himself and worried about distributing it later.
If Kick-Ass is as great as everyone is saying, the guy is a fucking legend.

But Will "Kick Ass"Play Outside the Fanboy Audience?
by DrCaligari111
Will a general audience embrace a 11 year old girl killing people in a bloody fashion or will "Kick Ass" be the next "Watchmen," where fanboy interest was huge going in, but turned out only to have a limited audience. Haven't seen "Kick Ass," but just the fact that Hit Girl is 11 year old girl dealing bloody death with glee will surely bring down the wrath of the critics (reminiscent of the same outcry that accompanied "Robocop 2" and the kid villain).

by knowthyself
Watchmen was more popular but just as invisible to mainstream audiences and even with a huge push by WB it still only managed to do decent business. Kick Ass won't make that much at the box office but will have a long shelf life on bluray if it lives up to the fanboy hype.
Dec. 14, 2009, 9:17 a.m. CST

Kick Ass = Lame
by m_prevette
So sad this is sending shivers down the collective fanboy spine. Without seeing the film or any trailers, it still has the taint and stench of Mark Millar attached. I doubt seeing the trailer will make any difference, it is still based on absolutely awful source material that only a 14 year old would think is "cool" . Unless the entire comic bible is tossed away and this has 100% ZERO relation to the comic, it'll suck. If in any way it resembles the comic...it'll be sheer idiocy

Breaks Its Own Logic...
by Grinning White Skull
Two scenes keep being brought up. Cage shooting the girl and setting up its "reality" and then Hit Girl chopping guys' limbs off which effectively chops off the film's reality it set up before. 11 years old. Chopping men's arms and legs off. Gets kocked off her feet by a gun's slugs but can chop people's arms and legs off easier than using a knife to cut through baloney. Sounds like lots of geek baloney going around here...

Kick Ass sounds..
by Jaka
...well, kick ass! That is BY FAR the most I've read about it and I'm not really looking forward to it. Sounds more in line with what I wanted from Hancock (the tone, I understand the story is different) but never really got.

 Random aside: never been to CHUD, never felt like I had a reason to go there. After finding out that people from over their come here just to cause problems I now KNOW I have no reason to go there.

whats up with you and this nobody devin?? nothing funnier than listening to the rants of some internet user give off about another slightly more popular innernet user...
Dec. 15, 2009, 9:15 a.m. CST
Bongo.....Thank you so much for your concern
by southafricanguy
But insulting Devin Farci is one of lifes small guilty pleasures, and the one time I like to allow my childish side to take over...So dont worry dude, dont get your panties in a twist. I am aware of your point. But Im just an amatuer compared to some of the trolls in the talkbacks that post 500 times in every talkback saying the same shit over and over, so cut me some slack....

Not too interested in Kick Ass...
by TheWaqman
I'm just feeling very disinterested to be honest. All this hype is the kind of hype Tarantino gets for his latest films. Just seems so exaggerated and I'm not the biggest fan of shit like that anymore. I'm more hyped for Mic-Macs and Avatar. Kick Ass is the kind of film that's guaranteed to get Watchmen levels of hype from the geeks. I'm only seeing it for Vaughn.

I like that a child killing people and using the word 'cunt' is respectable. I like that society is collapsing and people are cheering it on.

Somebody can't read properly...
by TheWaqman
I'm not feeling the hype for this film. Because it's the type of hype you hear when some nerd walks out of an early Watchmen screening or V for Vendetta. I don't trust the hype for this film. I do trust Avatar's though because from what I've read I know I'll enjoy it. I've followed Kick Ass and I'm just not biting.
 Now would you kindly...eat a dick.

Just because someone says cunt and there's blood doesn't make it any less ridiculous. The reason everyone says it looks like Superhero Movie is that it's trying so hard.

I was just watching that "Iron Man 2" trailer again and realized that it's basically "Rocky III"! Stark is recently victorious and now is a superstar of all media, but his arrogance and overconfidence will be his undoing. Rourke's character is basically Clubber Lang, a hungry thug from the rough and dirty streets who prepares for battle in dirty garages, not in billion dollar gyms like Stark. He's going to "bust you up" when he gets ahold of spoiled Stark. Instead of Apollo Creed helping Rocky get his head and body back together, we get Rhodes doing the same thing so they "can win it back together". I love it! This film, truly, has the eye of the tiger.

Gonna be a good year!
by LastOfTheV8Interceptors
Having read the comics, it seems like they've managed to nail the spirit of the material without losing any of the craziness and edginess. Independent financing wins again. The casting looks to be spot on too IMO and I'm not even a huge fan of Cage. I really don't get the Mystery Men/Watchmen comparisons though. To me, that's kind of like saying that all Westerns with bounty hunters are the same. I think the DIY vigilante/superhero idea has been around long enough now that it could almost qualify for its own sub-genre. And as for the complaints about Hit Girl... it's black absurdist humor. Doesn't appeal to some folks I guess, but I think it's gonna be kinda awesome to see a movie in which a crazed foul-mouthed superhero kid decimates full grown hardened criminals.... Feral Kid was cool in Road Warrior was he not? (and he only whacked one guy!)

Grinning White Skull is getting nervous...
by DKMODE
because people are actually liking the film. So just like GWS did during my review, he's still hung up on how "realistic" the action holds up. To him, chopping off a limb with a razor sharp ninja sword at a high velocity in a comic-book movie is somehow too unrealistic, pulls him out of the movie, and makes him angry. Wow.

Various vendors offer clamp mounts for electric trolling motors, for canoes. Some of these motor mounts fit our W500 kayak.
Here is an example of such mount that works with our W500:
The main advantages of this type of motor mount are -
Good Comfort
The steering handle is conveniently located on your side, and does not require that you turn sideways or backward, or hold your arm behind your back. This is an easy way to steer by hand, and it's good from an ergonomic standpoint.
Quick and Easy to Install
You attach this motor mount to your W500 fishing kayak using two clamps – It's quick (takes about 1 minute), easy (no tools needed), and does not require that you drill holes in the hull.
1. You can attach the motor on either side of your W fishing kayak, and easily switch sides. This can be an advantage especially if there's a strong side wind blowing.
2. You can easily and quickly dismount the motor mount, and store it, as well as the electric motor in the W500 hull tips. It's convenient in case you no longer feel like using the motor, or if you're going in very shallow water where the propeller might be stuck, or damaged, or in water where seaweed is abundant, and where paddling works better than trolling with a motor.
DIY Clamp Mounted Mount For Electric Trolling Motor
Here is a schematic description of an easy to make DIY clamp mount for an electric trolling motor for your W500 fishing kayak:
Motor Mount Safety Device:
You can mount the vertical part of the motor mount on a hinge (see figure below), so that in case the motor hits an underwater obstacle, it would bounce up, thus reducing or altogether avoiding possible damage to it -
Optional Outrigger
The clamp mount for trolling motor featuring in Jim's video is offered with an optional outrigger, with an adjustable height system. This device enables driving the kayak with the outrigger outside the water. Note: An outrigger is not a must-have, and you can drive the motorized W500 without it, as shown in the video. However, an outrigger may be useful in case you're outfitting your W500 with a heavier, more powerful gas powered outboard motor.
Here is an example of an electric trolling motor mounted on such a mount:
For more info, see full article >
NEW: read more about motorizing fishing kayaks >
More options: Transom motor mount for electric and gas motors
Wavewalk offers two standard transom motor mounts for its W500 kayak series – The TMM 20 for long shaft motors (20″), and the TMM 15 for short shaft (15″) motors. These transom mounts are easy to install, and since they're attached in the center of the kayak they can support heavier and more powerful engines. Steering is done conveniently from the middle of the cockpit, by using a long tiller extension outfitted with a U joint (articulated tiller extension). Keep reading >

Saturday night we popped out to Shades nightclub in Bridlington for anm 'Alice in thunderland' gig with new (and crazy good) guitarist Chris. The support act Abbie Lammas was a new one to us and a nice warm up. The new member is an amazing boost to the bands sound and most of all their karma. Make sure you get chance to see these guys loud and live you'll not regret it…although your ears might!

just one episode in, but i like this bbc wales drama. not just because it stars another of my girl crushes ayesha dharker, but also because it's a change from the usual more brick lane-type immigrant stories from the uk. it's been pretty light-weight so far on the prejudice the first big wave of post-colonial immigrants faced. they're this high-falutin' couple from delhi after all, as opposed to villagers fleeing from poverty.
ayesha dharker's character is kind of interesting: pulling strings with friends in high places and rubbing shoulders with the mountbattens. a familiarly british class-mentality. it's interesting because as much as people think indians are obsessed with caste, it's actually socio-economic class that's the bigger indicator/divider for most people from cities. it's true.
anyway, with the promise of a story-arc in the form of some mysterious diary of the former doctor, i might just stick with this. also way to choose a title, bbc. obviously their train of though being: "welsh village full of patients > the english patient > the indian doctor. aha!"

World Series of Poker — Cupcake Wars Recapby Candace Nelson in Shows, August 25th, 2011
Cupcake Wars judge Candace Nelson is the founder and pastry chef of Sprinkles Cupcakes, the world's first cupcake bakery. She joins us on the FN Dish each week to recap all the sweet details of the competition from her seat at the judges' table. Here's what she had to say about this week's episode.
What a thrill it was to have world champion poker player Annie Duke as a guest judge this week. She is one smart lady — and a cupcake lover, to boot. In round one, the contestants were dealt the same hand of ingredients, but each team ended up with very different results. Tina's black truffle "gamble" paid off for the most part, although the black truffle flavor was a bit lacking. Robin and Patric both used the same flavors of strawberry, balsamic and cheese. Robin's cupcake lacked mascarpone flavor and though I loved Patric's creation, Florian was not a fan of the watery strawberries, which he believed would quickly result in a soggy cupcake. Sandy ultimately had to go.
During round two, we really started to see the pressures of the Cupcake Wars kitchen getting to our bakers. At the end of Justin's countdown, we saw Patric and Tina distraught at their lack of decorations. Tina called it an "epic disaster." She introduced her cupcakes as full house, two-pair and belly buster, clever plays on poker terminology. It was clear that she had delicious, as well as well-conceptualized cupcakes, but we all commented on the lack of appropriate decorations. Patric missed his fondant toppers, but his cupcakes were also not texturally pleasing. Robin gave us a fantastic plate of cupcakes, including the clever "kicker" wrapped in mini cards to symbolize a full house. Both Tina and Robin progressed to round three, with us saying goodbye to Patric.
In round three, Tina and Robin gave us beautiful poker-appropriate displays. Robin created a poker table, but the money completely covered the table, leaving it to look like a banquet table instead of a poker table. Tina's display was clean, bold and striking. In the end, Tina brought it all together in a Vegas-worthy evening of poker.
Bake the winning recipe: Coconut Cupcakes, Lemon Curd Filling, Coconut-Lemon Buttercream Frosting, Toasted Coconut

Annie Duke's a loser! Robin should have won – but because Annie can't recognize a poker table when she sees one, she handed the victory to Tina. Duh!

It is possible to watch the roundup even if you don't ride. Many people pull over on the road heading to the Fielding Garr Ranch on the east side of the island to watch as the animals are pushed north toward the corrals. The 2012 roundup was an exception to this possibility because the bison were on the west side of the island with no vehicle access, but the majority of years the roundup is on the east side of the island.
People also can visit the corrals after the roundup to see people giving the bison a health checkup and culling them out for possible auction.
Antelope Island Bison Roundup 2013
The 27th annual Antelope Island Bison Roundup is being held at Antelope Island State Park Friday and Saturday, Oct. 25-26, 2013. Registration to participate in the event on horseback is closed, but the general public should be able to view the roundup from the road on the east side of the island (bring bincoulars, spotting scopes and cameras) and around the White Rock Bay Trailhead.
The roundup starts at 9 a.m. and it may take a while for the riders to push the bison to a point where they can be viewed by the public. Although the roundup is scheduled for two days, it is typically completed the first day.
The bison are wild and can be dangerous. Park officials advise all visitors to keep a safe distance from bison.
People will get a chance to watch as the bison go through annual exams Nov. 1 and 2 from 8:30 a.m to 4 p.m. at the Bison Corrals.
The annual bison auction on Antelope Island is being held from 8 a.m. to noon on Nov. 9.
Got a Bucket List idea?
The Antelope Island Bison Roundup was featured on the original Utah Bucket List, a series in the The Salt Lake Tribune and a television broadcast by KUED Channel 7 in 2012. Find the 2012 story and a video here.
And here's a chance to be a part of the second edition of the show and Tribune series — this one is all about you.
Send us your ideas for great local adventures. We might even tag along with you as you check one off your Utah Bucket List. Tell us about your list entry at firstname.lastname@example.com or kued.org/utahbucketlist.

Animals not selected for the auction are released to be captured in images from tourists all over the world.
For Amanda Reylence, originally from England, the bison roundup was the draw to visit the biggest island on the Great Salt Lake. And while the ride greatly exceeded her expectations, it was other wonders of the adventure that especially pleased her.
"When we got near the bulls, they were fighting and getting aggressive," Reylence said. "They were so big and there was all this grunting and groaning. It was absolutely fantastic and breathtaking. The whole experience of looking at the bay and the mountains. People came from all over America. It was just lovely. I will do it again."
Experiences and responses like that are what got the bison roundup on The Utah Bucket List and why park officials will strive to keep it an active public event.
"This is one of the few things Utah State Parks does on its own," Shaw said. "Most times we are just a venue for somebody else to put on an event. We really love it and plan to keep it this way. We want to maintain that unique experience for the public to be able to come and be an active part of Antelope Island."

Holden just released a new version of its Australian Ute, and it's been rumored that the VE Trucklet will be US-bound. There's no doubt that GM is taking a look at the possibility of reintroducing the El Camino's ethos to American consumers, and fans of past El Caminos (and Sprints and Caballeros) are excited. GM Inside News forum member and photoshopper MonaroSS whipped up a chop of the VE Ute with an imagined Chevrolet nose and emailed it to everyone's friend, Maximum Bob, at GM HQ. Accompanying the picture was the note "hope the new Ute gets a more Chevy look if it goes Stateside." The reply from Lutz confirmed a desire on GM's part to bring the Ute over, but went on to state that it wouldn't be a Chevrolet if it happens.
What? An El Camino that's not an El Camino? What brand would sell it, then? There's GMC, which had versions of the El Camino in the past (the aforementioned Sprint and Caballero), but is it a good fit with the rest of the GMC product line? Pontiac's already getting the VE cars as G8s, so there would be a level of familiarity on the part of the sales/service organization were the Ute to end up at the Excitement branch. Of course, GM could take a total left-turn and sell it at Saturn or Buick stores, too, but we see those as a remote possibility. Saturn have a slight edge over Buick if it were to ever end up in either of those stores, but it's nearly as doubtful as the Ute becoming a Cadillac. So – while a certain number of consumers would welcome a new version of GM's not-a-car-not-a-truck, it's anyone's guess who will sell it and what they'll call it.

Shields fans 10, Royals slow Indians
Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - James Shields struck out 10 over six innings and the Kansas City Royals beat the Cleveland Indians, 7-1, in the opener of a three-game series.
Shields (12-9) allowed one run on six hits for the Royals, who moved within 2 1/2 games of the Rangers for the final wild card spot in the AL. The right- hander improved to 6-1 over his last eight outings, giving up three runs or fewer in all but one of those.
Shields, Wade Davis, Luke Hochevar and Tim Collins combined for 17 strikeouts, a franchise record for a nine-inning game.
"Every game is important," Shields said. "This is what we live for, this is what we play for, September baseball, and hopefully we have a chance to go to the playoffs."
Alcides Escobar, Mike Moustakas, David Lough, Lorenzo Cain, Salvador Perez and Billy Butler each drove in a run for Kansas City, which had 14 hits.
Lonnie Chisenhall hit a homer for the Indians, who were coming off a four-game sweep of the White Sox.
Scott Kazmir (8-9) gave up four runs on seven hits while striking out six over five-plus innings for Cleveland, which is a half-game behind Texas for the second wild card spot.
"They're a very scrappy team. They go out there and try to get the extra base. They just push hard all game," said Kazmir.
After the Indians left men on second and third in the top of the first, Kansas City got on the board in the bottom half. Emilio Bonifacio singled to shallow center field, stole second and raced home on Butler's single up the middle.
The Royals tacked on another run in the third. Alex Gordon struck out swinging, but advanced to first on a wild pitch. Eric Hosmer singled two batters later to put men on the corners. Perez's two-out single to right- center field scored Gordon.
In the fifth, Chisenhall homered to right to cut the gap to 2-1.
But the home team scored three runs in the sixth to create some distance. Perez tripled to left-center field and crossed the plate on Cain's triple to center. Matt Albers came in from the bullpen and pinch-hitter Lough greeted him with an RBI single to right. Escobar reached first on Asdrubal Cabrera's throwing error before Nick Hagadone took over on the hill. The runners moved up one base when Gordon flied out. Another run scored when Bonifacio reached first on Chisenhall's fielding error.
Kansas City tacked on two more runs in the seventh. Carlos Carrasco put men on first and third with two outs before giving way to Rich Hill. Moustakas and Escobar hit consecutive RBI singles to make it a 7-1 game.
Game Notes
Despite Monday's defeat, the Indians are 9-8 against the Royals this season ... Shields improved to 3-5 lifetime versus Cleveland ... The Indians are six games behind the Detroit Tigers for first place in the AL Central.

My son is always asking for caffeinated soft drinks. Is it OK to let him have them?
- Marla
It's a good idea to keep caffeine consumption to a minimum, especially in younger kids. The effects of a caffeinated beverage on a child will be much more pronounced than on an adult because kids weigh less and are still growing and developing.
Caffeine is a drug that's naturally produced in the leaves and seeds of many plants. It's also made artificially and added to certain foods. At lower levels, caffeine can make people feel more alert and energetic.
In both kids and adults, though, too much caffeine can cause jitteriness, an upset stomach, headaches, and sleeping problems. Especially in young kids, it doesn't take a lot of caffeine to produce these effects. Caffeine also can aggravate heart problems and some behavioral and nervous system disorders.
Because of the concern about the adverse effects of caffeine, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) discourages caffeine consumption for all children. The United States doesn't have guidelines for caffeine intake and kids, but Canadian guidelines recommend that preschoolers get no more than 45 milligrams of caffeine a day. That's the average amount of caffeine found in a 12-ounce (355-milliliter) can of soda or four 1.5-ounce (43-gram) milk chocolate bars.
It's also good to remember that too many sugar-sweetened drinks (with or without caffeine) can lead to obesity and dental cavities.

SKLDHGSDLKHG. I JUST READ A MAJOR SPOILER ABOUT NEXT WEEK. if you don't want to know, don't look!
"CAROL IS ALIVE: Here's Spoil the Dead's description for how Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) finds his occasional flirtmate, Carol. "Daryl takes it upon himself to go searching for Carol in the prison. He encounters nothing but zombies on the way, and finds one with a knife in it's head, still alive. It's still alive because the one who stabbed it only stabbed it through the cheek and not the brain. Daryl realizes that it was Carol and that it means she no longer had a weapon with her. Desperate and believing she is dead, he falls to the ground, sitting on the floor. He then notices a door in front of him that someone was trying to open. Daryl takes it to mean a zombie was trying to get in but failed, but at the end of the episode he opens the door and there Carol lays on the ground, alive but almost powerless." If this is true, hopefully Carol can recover quickly and start to help with the baby. Carol and Daryl could be her godparents!"
