Breakfast Links: Monkey, Speed & Sins

Looks like humans, whales and dolphins aren’t the only ones who talk no mo’. Turns out monkeys are gabbin’ it up! Pretty sweet, they got hacks and pyows and they’re making the most of it. New Independent has some recordings of them, if you’re curious. You may be thinking they say such things as “Dude, just found some taaasty lice up in your head” but no, actully they say “I’m adult male X; I have just seen an eagle; I will now move away.”

And moving along with adult male X - sfsignal found two more trailers for Speed Racer. Unlike with Iron Man and Robert Downey Jr, with every new Speed Racer trailer I see I get less interested in the movie and more annoyed with the Wachowski’s. Although I admit that I liked it in the second trailer when the car makes the slow mo jump and then the Mach 5 shoots ahead underneath it. But it’s easy to make neat sfx, it’s hard to show me a good story, something the Wachowskis are 1.5 out of 4 on in my book.

I mean, it is pretty undeniable that Matrix II and III were hell worthy sins. Somehow, though, the Vatican overlooked those when coming up with 7 brand new sins! That’s right, more stuff to send you to hell! You’re probably thinking that it’d be pretty tough to match Sloth, Gluttony, Pride and so forth and you’d be absolutely right. Such sins as “Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor” and ““Bioethical’ violations such as birth control” just don’t roll of the tongue like the originals. Y’know? There is definitely going to be no super villain gang named after these sins. I’m just saying. I hope they don’t try and find 4 new horsemen of the apocolypse.
