So I went to check out Stardust on friday - Neil Gaiman fanboy that I am. Been looking forward to the movie for awhile but the trailers were really uninteresting and made me worry for the movie. Fortunately, the worries weren’t founded. The executive summary is that I give this movie a 9 (barely, though [...]

Ok, it’s the big movie edition (and not just a blockbuster list :)! If you don’t want to see any of these movies, you’re a heartless bastard.
First we have Wes Anderson’s new movie, The Darjeeling Limited. Apple has the trailer up. Even more awesomely Aquarium Drunkard has some MP3’s up with music from Wes’ movies [...]

Thanks to the boys at sfsignal for pointing out this post with 9 Reasons Why George Lucas Sucks. The post is excellent and with supporting links to boot! I think my favourite from that list is #6 - Lucas is a bad director and even worse screenwriter. I knew that, but didn’t know this:
Additionally, while [...]

So Howard sent me the 411 this weekend. Apparently JJ Abrams is producing a new movie which has very Cthulhuian overtones. Not much is known but there’s a trailer for it showing before Transformers (which I still haven’t seen…) [UPDATED the trailer to be the official apple one, thanks to Howard!]. But there’s also a [...]

Ok, first a little background. First this guy, a fire fighter the the Ohio National Guard legally changed his name to Optimus Prime. Yes, Optimus is his first name and Prime is his second. This actually happened a long time ago in 2003, at least it’s respectable in that it was just something this dude [...]

Ok, I saw it. I’ve had a couple of posts on it leading up to the opening and I caught Live Free or Die Hard last night. The short review is that while it’s no Die Hard (but what could be?), it was quite good. I’ve seen complaints about how “unrealistic” it is - but [...]

So I was watching Dailiy Report the other day and Bruce Willis was the guest. The interview I thought was ok - they waxed poetic about the joys of South Jersey (Jerseeeyy!!). The thing I took away though was the new catch phrase for the movie, Yabba Dabba Doo, Motherf@!*er. Good times, it ain’t till [...]

Well with only 3 days left to go, iPhone news is boiling over.
Check out the first dude in line for the iPhone, more than 4 days early. It’s…. sad. He is, nevertheless, getting his several moments of fame. Here’s a picture of the guy with a sign up. There’s coverage on him by CNet. [...]

Honestly, I’m not really sure why I’m so excited for this movie. I didn’t like the second and didn’t even see the third, I don’t know why my brain is telling me that this fourth installment is going to buck the trend. If experience were the guide, I’d probably be a little annoyed. Instead, I [...]

You know a lot of people think that MetaFilter has gone down hill these past years. But I still read it and it’s posts like this one that remember me why that’s so. It not only notes that this summer has not one but two Judd Apatow films (Knocked Up and Superbad), [...]
