Date Night Anyone?
Nov 13th
I’m not really sure about this flick Date Night. On one hand you’ve got Tina Fey in all her brilliance and kinda nerd hotness playing a woman married to Steve Carell. Two great actors with comedic backgrounds who know their way around a script. Sounds fine and all, but what I’m always afraid of is over-populating with stars. Think back to terrible flicks like Oceans 13 or any other movie with a ton of the same types of actors playing the same types of parts. Sometimes you just get too much of a good thing. In any case, I think I’ll eventually More >
Dollhouse Cancelled – Fans Are Upset, Whedon Calls it a Wednesday
Nov 12th
You know how all of these moronic parents talk about the violence on TV and video games and how it can desensitize kids? I used to think this was a load, but now that another Joss Whedon gem, Dollhouse, has been kicked to the curb, I’m starting to get desensitized myself. Not with violence or anything, but with Whedon’s shows. Everything (and this is no exaggeration) he has done by ways of episodic television has been chalk full of controversy.
Whedon’s first show, the very famous and still classic Buffy The Vampire Slayer was on the verge of slipping into the grave for More >
Kick-Ass Trailer!!!
Nov 11th
Finally!!!
A movie to look forward to!!!
Nothing against flicks like Avatar, but Kick-Ass looks like it will steal the entire 2010 movie season. Waiting until April of next year will be painful, but if Matt Vaughn keeps dropping little gems like the Kick-Ass poster and this brand new trailer, I’m pretty sure the hype will continue. Early (very early and possibly ilegal and/or untrue) reviews for Kick-Ass have been great so far. The story follows a kid who wants to be a super hero but really doesn’t have any powers. In fact, I don’t think anyone in the story actually has “powers.” Check More >
Timmy B Drops Some Cheshire Goodness
Nov 10th
Been following the production of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland lately? After a big Comicon push this summer with the release of the first trailer, Alice has gone down the rabbit hole for a little while. Well, this morning the production has released a brand new movie poster with the feature character being none other than The Cheshire Cat. The wonderfully disappearing and manipulative freaky feline looks amazing in CG. Personally I prefer the 2D version, but if he drops lines from the original like:
You may have noticed that I’m not all there myself
and
Why, she simply said that you’re a fat, pompous, More >
Damn You Again Amazon!!!!!
Nov 9th
I’m such a sucker… Plain and simple.
Amazon just sent me their annual Holiday Gift Guide and as soon as I saw the subject line on the email, I heard my bank account scream like someone just coughed in their eye. Sadly, when I see “Hoiliday Gift Guide,” the thought of anyone other than myself doesn’t even register. The gift guide is for me isn’t it? Like Amazon wouldn’t be sending me user-centered lists of goodies for other people right? So if I go and spend like a few hundred bucks on Blu-Rays it’s actually the right thing to do, right?
Jesus, I’m doing More >
Kick-Ass Drops A Few Posters
Nov 6th
Morning Kids,
Just thought I’d drop in and let everyone know that IGN has posted some pretty kick’n movie posters for the upcoming Kick-Ass. If you’re unaware of the flick, I wrote some words about the comic character on Killahbeez here and here. Go have a look when you can – it’s interesting if you’re a comic buff. What I really like about this poster is the way they can connect. Yeah I know, it’s quite primitive in this here digital age, but the simplicity reminds me of collecting toys from cereal boxes for some reason. Anyways, have a look below cause I More >
The Only Night I’ve Ever Cheered For The Yankees
Nov 5th
Congrats to A-Roid, Jeter and all of the over-paid, over-hyped and over-weight Yankees for winning the World Series last night. I’m not going to lie, I cheered for the Yanks, but not for any reason other than they were leading the series and baseball is FINALLY over this season. For those of you who know me, you already understand my frustration with baseball as a spectator sport. Sure you could say I don’t appreciate the game for what it is, the fact that it’s a thinking man’s game or that baseball is more like a chess match – but I hate chess More >
I Don’t Know Who I’m More Embarrassed For
Nov 4th
Pepsi or The Oympics.
I watch a lot of Hockey Night in Canada. When you have no cable and you have to stream all of your media from a laptop screen, the options are quite limited. Because of this I’m forced to endure a ton of terrible ad campaigns and embarrassing ideas that come out of consistently weak creative market (my gripes with CBC are well document here).
Well here’s the latest and possibly the worst of the bunch. If you watch Hockey Night in Canada, then you can probably tell where I’m going with this already. Pepsi in conjunction with Facebook is running a More >
