It’s here people. Starting today, you have 24 days to get all your shopping done. Here you will find ten great gifts from all different prices for the special people on your list. Hell, maybe you’ll even ask the fat man to deliver these to you come Christmas morning! Check em out below:
Playing cards are something that any worldly individual needs. Nothing says “I’ve seen some shit” than a cadre of well-worn playing cards. Personally, I have a poker set that houses cards ranging from Showgirls to Texas Chainsaw Massacre to Star Wars and I’d love to add this deck to the collection. What sets this apart from other collections is the art style for the cards is particularly cool with a painted-flair that really sells the set well. As a stocking stuffer you can do a lot worse.
When you talk about great movie poster artists there are a few names that should come to mind immediately. Right up there with Drew Struzan is Saul Bass, known mostly for his work on Vertigo, The Man With The Golden Arm and West Wide Story. Bass’ minimalism created a genre of poster art unto itself that is still being imitated to this day. This coffee table book is a must have for the more seasoned movie buffs.
Movie art is big in my house. I have a small collection of Mondo originals as well as some autographs and classic movie posters hanging all around the apartment. They help define my living space and let anyone who enters know exactly what I’m about. I usually like to add the stranger stuff and pepper it throughout the place, and I can totally see this weird Wheel of Fortune/Edward Scissorhands/Pee Wee/Goonies print being right at home here. For the more eclectic looking for a half-gag gift, this could be the best available this season for the price.
Sideshow Collectibles always knocks it out of the park with their figurines but the Predator seen here is a step above their usual level of talent. Predator is one of the absolute great movie monsters of all time, and the detail in this figure justifies (almost) the $150 price tag. If you’re in the market to expand your collection with a showcase piece, this may be just the thing.
This is easily the toy of the century. This toy represents the possibility of Star Wars actually bleeding over into the real world. Do you think that 40 years ago George Lucas ever thought we would have a computer in our pocket that could control our own personal droid? The jury is out on whether or not The Force Awakens will be better than the prequels, but this droid is truly something special. With the hefty price tag being the only deterrent, this toy will be in my future.
One unforeseen aspect of the smartphone is the decline of the wristwatch. In what has become a cultural shift, the ability to see what time it is on your phone has made many to ignore the classic piece of gear. With tan lines being the only downside, it’s a shame that the wristwatch is moving towards obsolescence, but the CUCOL Bamboo Wooden Watch is an inexpensive talkpiece that makes telling the time an event. Any machinery created utilizing wood rather than metal or plastic is already impressive, but add the bamboo finish and this watch is a fantastic buy.
With a film version on the way courtesy of James Franco and Seth Rogen, now is the time to catch Greg Sestero’s infamous behind the scenes tell-all detailing his experience filming The Room. Something tells me the Franco/Rogen version is going to take some liberties, so it is probably best to digest this now, fresh, without any influence. At just under ten bucks this is another fine steal.
In my family, my Grandad started a tradition when I was young of gifting everyone with a new Pez dispenser each Christmas as a little bonus stocking stuffer. The quality of the dispensers has been pretty wide, ranging from 5 different Santa Claus dispensers to Wolverine and Batman. As such, I have a collection now and this Star Trek set is definitely one of the nicer ones. Granted, Pez candy sucks, but I have a nostalgic connection to the things so this is definitely something I’ll want to add to the collection some day.
Another book being adapted by Seth Rogen (what a weird coincidence), Preacher is coming to AMC soon. Now is the time to check it out and see what all the fuss is about. In all honesty, I have yet to read this so I can’t tell you much about it other than it’s one of the most highly regarded comic book series of the past thirty years and may be the hottest thing since The Walking Dead come next year. Get ahead of the hype and give this a shot.
Keeping with the idea of a monthly subscription service, Moviepass is here to make the Summer movie season even crazier. Here’s the concept: pay Moviepass $30 a month and go to the theater as much as you want (limit once per day). Granted, some months are slower than others, but buying a subscription at the start of the summer may actually save you money in the long run. A great gift for anyone who loves movies.
So what do you think, Binge readers? Anything else I missed that you’re looking forward to? Comment below with your wishlist items and, as always, Binge On!
Comedy Central has been killing it this year with quality programming. One of the shows I’m really into lately is Nathan For You, a show that is dripping with sarcasm and dry wit. Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder goes into small businesses and attempts to help expand their market and customer base by being a complete fucking smart ass. The interviews (or pitches) he has with the owners seem mostly real but I think you can chalk that up to Fielder’s dry delivery. The show got national attention when Fielder opened up a “Dumb Starbucks” coffee shop, and got away with it since he opened under the pretense that the shop was a parody of the chain. He’s helped a car wash with their business by arranging birds to shit on cars, and helped a liquor store thrive by selling alcohol to underage kids but not giving them the alcohol until they’re 21 (kind of like layaway). Because of his dry delivery, I don’t think the show is for everyone, but if it sounds like your thing, I highly suggest checking it out. Show comes out on Tuesdays after Drunk History.
Graphic Novels
I was hanging out at Half Price Books the other day (like a fucking badass) selling most of my DVD and Blu-ray collection (fuck hard media) and found myself looking at the graphic novel section. Anyone familiar with Binge Media knows I’m not a huge comic fan, but I do love a good graphic novel. A few years ago before its AMC premiere, I checked out The Walking Dead Compendium and was hooked. I eventually tapped out of keeping up with the issues just because I didn’t see an end in sight. It’s not like an investment, so why was I paying so much for something that could seemingly go on and on forever. Shortly after I picked up The Watchmen and was blown away. I’m a fan of the movie but the book is like nothing I’ve read before. Fast forward a couple years and I’m ready to rekindle my brief love affair with the medium. A few of the must haves I’ve been recommended from people who know my taste are Preacher and The Killing Joke. Actually most of Moore’s stuff have been highly recommended. I’ve heard Y the Last Man is really good, as well as Sandman. How about you fine folks throw out some recommendations so I can make a list and end up poor. Yes, I know I just said “fuck hard media”. Shut up.
Covers
I fucking love me some covers. Especially if it’s a completely different take on the song. Before I go, I’ll leave you with some of my favorite covers to date. Have any? Comment with them below.
