The year Twenty...

As we approach 2010, you automatically read it as "Two Thousand Ten" (or 'and' ten).

At what point do we get to say "Twenty" instead of 2000?

I assume that 2020 makes the most sense, which is fine, I guess, but that's 11 years away. And doesn't the world end in 2012?

Ah well. Maybe I'll enjoy Twenty Aught Nine anyway.

Brilliant

This really is brilliant. I have no idea if this is new or old, but it's fantastic.

The reaper has come

February 17.

No reprieve. No delay. Analog TV dies this day.

Failblog.org

Prepare to lose hours and hours of your life. I've been meaning to share this for a long time. So many gems, so little time.

Alien Mighty Mugg

There's a cute animated flick called Planet 51 coming out about an astronaut who lands on a xenophobic alien planet.

What's awesome? Check out the planet's dog! He has acid pee and a tongue with a tongue inside it?! I NEED THIS TOY.




IN case you don't get the joke:

And more Tintin!

This movie just got so wicked awesome.

First, Spielberg & Peter Jackson together. And Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock.

Awesome. Done.

Oh, there's MORE?

Simon Pegg & Nick Frost as Thompson & Thomson? Edgar Wright is coming with them for some screenwriting? Jamie Bell is playing Tintin? Daniel Craig is Red Rackham? They are doing the Secret of the Unicorn/Red Rackham story?!

RAWK. ON. Dude, there's a SHARK SUBMARINE in it. This will be the gem of 2010.

Oy! Smeghead!

Check it! An all-new special this Easter! w00t! This is gonna be the best year EVER.

It's cooooming

No, I don't care and I won't apologize. This is #1 on my list of things to see this year, followed immediately by Wolverine.



Apparently a trailer is set to run during the Super Bowl. It will probably be awful, but again, don't care!

Bring it!

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison...

Time to catch up! Bunch of random crap, including the breath of life into the A-Team movie, which was sitting on John Singleton's plate. This, along with G.I. Joe, pretty much defined my childhood, so I don't care what it takes, put it on the big screen!

Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smoking Aces) is taking over, so it could at least be riduculously ridiculous. As it should be. As it should be.

Ricardo MontalbAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! R.I.P.

Khan is dead. Long Live the Khan!

Bronson. The Man. The Myth.

This looks BRILLIANT.

Can't wait!

Problem Solving 101

Considering this is a very conservative website, it isn't a joke, but yet is open to so many.

If this is a prototype, sign me up for the finished one!

This looks RAD. It's Hulk meets Crackdown meets Mercenaries meets Awesome.

Yet another X-Men spinoff

Prequel? Is this where Nightcrawler came from?

"Mystique is Pregnant" featuring Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn by Jerry Minor

The Razzies

This is proof that in L.A., you can literally do whatever you want and have people notice at some point or another. I just got notice to renew my 'membership' this year and it reminded me that I don't think I ever posted about my experience back in 2007...

I got all excited when I registered and went two years ago. I had been reading and enjoying the Razzies (Hollywood's 'worst' awards) for YEARS before moving to L.A. I had always wanted to go, thinking it would be a grand time had by all.

So we went. And hot damn did it SUCK. They made people wait forever in line and when we got in? Popcorn. Nothing else. No cash bar, nothing. Just a crappy theater. OK, so at least there's a screen, right? If by 'screen', you mean big-screen TV, then yes.

Was it at least funny?

God, NO. Imagine a bunch of 40-something balding nerds doing skits in their moms basement. That's what it was. And what really sucked is that the nearest bar was 2 blocks away, so being drunk for it wasn't even an option. And I'll tell you, tickets weren't cheap. Which means all of the money went into this theater rental. And it was half-full. And judging from the movies that get nominated and win, these people don't even SEE everything, so when Gigli won for worst film one year, clearly no one saw any of Uwe Boll's high-profile shit-fests that year. Basically the winners of these are just talk-backers that don't watch everything, they just hate on things they think they shouldn't like and those win.

I guarantee you that our Oscar parties are a billion times better in both production and entertainment, hands down. I am pretty sure that the people who run the Razzies actually work in things like shoe-sales and restaurant service, as they have no idea how to actually host an event.

So, so bad.

B. R. I. L. L. I. A. N. T.

Who better to cast as the bungling Thompson twins in the upcoming Tintin flick?

Shoot the Baddies

Shoot the Baddies - 05 / 01 / 09, originally uploaded by Olly Moss.

I really, really need full-size sheets of these.

Macworld News

How much longer til this one comes out? Impressive.


Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

Best. Review Quote. Ever.

"To call THE SPIRIT cardboard is an insult to useful packing material."

Genius.

Wonder Woman

This is complete BS, but I wouldn't complain. I mean, if a 6'2" song & dance man can play a 5'3" mutant...

10 Best Kid Kills

CHUD produced an awesome series of kid kills in movies last month, which included one of my favorite scenes from a movie ever, Maximum Overdrive's steamroller in the Little League field. That's in Day 3, along with Halloween III's mask death. Another classic.

Enjoy!

Joss Whedon's Dollhouse is coming soon...

...to Friday nights.

But how long will it last? 4 episodes? 8? A full TWELVE?

We all know how much Fox loves their genre TV...

Fables coming to TV?

Cool! ABC is looking to do an hour-long series based on Bill Willingham's 'Fables' comic series. I highly recommend reading it. It's fantastic, as is the Jack of Fables spin-off series.




Then again, we got screwed out of ever seeing the pilots for Global Frequency and Ultra, two other super-cool comics, so who knows?

The Periodic Table of Awesoments

Nunchuks. Grenades. Dwarves. Robots. Mutants.

All elements of Awesome.

R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-I-P, Eartha Kitt

Shut the @&#* up, and by '@&#*', I mean BANG!

I can't stand talking in movies. Whispers, fine, I'm guilty of shitty movie commentary myself, but keep it to a whisper. And if you bring your bastard kids into a movie NOT FOR KIDS because you can't find a babysitter, then kiss my ass.

This is the kind of urban vigilante I can get behind.

You wouldn't crap in a dead cop's helmet, would you?

Or WOULD you?

It's all stealing.

Twilight: The Script

This is pretty much dead-on how the script must have read.

I would get mad at all the teen girls (and women who should know better), but then I would have to hold that mirror up to myself when G.I. Joe comes out next summer and I love it unapologeticaly.

Anyway, enjoy reading!

Thundercats Ho For YouTube

I'd pay to see this. Even if it was just re-edited material.
