- "Don't ask for my opinion then. I said congrats on the car, just saying nobody's panties are getting wet from a fucking Honda Accord."
- "STOP apologizing. You're sorry, he gets it, Jesus. You spilled a glass of wine, not fucked his wife."
- "I just want silence. Jesus, it doesn't mean I don't like you. It just means right now, I like silence more."
But before there was this guys Dad (at least documented for everyone to read), or even twitter for that matter, there was this guys kid which had me laughing out loud (as apposed to lol)
He has a point with some of them:
- "I don't understand why I have to go to school at all, the internet knows more than all the teachers there put together."
From the highest grossing film of all time, here's a video of James Cameron talking about his inspiration for making Avatar
If you've never checked out www.ted.com , you're missing out. If you enjoyed documentaries like An Inconvenient Truth, or ever considered going to see speakers like William Clinton or Warren Buffet speak, it is highly recommended!
And now for the old, I stumbled upon this site and had a laugh. I remember getting this excited to record on a disk as well!
I meant to write a review or 2 today, but I saw this video and thought you may enjoy it...
When I see that, I actually like all those products, and can appreciate what they're trying (and mostly successful) at doing.
They're much better than apple because at least everything they do is free, and they don't come out with crapy first (and usually 2nd) versions of everything to make you buy more...
While Lost has thus far been a little underwhelming, it's too late to back out now!
And since the theme on the show seems to be alternate realities (Or is it?!?), I found this clip showing what the Lost opening credits would have been had it been released in the 1970's
And in other news, Superman and Spiderman are coming out in a new film together!!!!
I'm still deciding how I feel about the Lost premiere...
I liked the idea that 'it worked', and they avoided all the usual time travel conundrums, but I thought they were going to just drop it after the first hour and get back to answering some questions and checking out 'Old' Jack and the gang
In any case, I saw this and found it worth the watch, enjoy
*spoiler*
BTW, what was up with bringing back Juliette only to have her die again without doing anything?!
Here's a roundtable discussion with 5 of the best directors working today... I could watch this for hours!
Enjoy the clip (and there are others on this site) of Kathryn Bigalow (The Hurt Locker, American Psycho), Lee Daniels (Precious), Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking, Juno, Up In The Air), QuentinTarantino (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds) and James Cameron (Terminator, Aliens, Avatar) talking about the moment they became filmakers
And a little extra clip from one of my favourite movies which I think best outlines the importance of conversation!
Japan has joined the bandwagon after Glee's win for best comedy or musical at the Golden Globes with a promo that reminded me of that dancing baby that was all over the net back in the day!
and as a little added Glee, here's a clip from Jane Lynch (aka Sue Sylvester), the best thing about the show..
I went and saw Daybreakers yesterday expecting to see something incredible. As I've mentioned in previous posts, there's often nothing that can ruin a movie worse than high expectations, but I felt confident in this one.
It was such a simple and great idea: In the 'not too distant future', Vampires have taken over and are harvesting the last remaining humans for blood. The human race is becoming extinct and the Vampire scientists need to find an alternative...
It starred Willem Defoe (who has experience in the genre with Shadow of the Vampire), and Ethan Hawke (who had put in his 'not too distant world' time in with Gattaca)
The trailer looked fuckin awesome:
And does this sound familiar? It was written and directed by Brothers and the poster shows people hooked up to machines that using them to keep a society alive!
Come on!!! This was going to be the next Matrix (and I don't mean Matrix 2 or 3!!)... How could it not be awesome!!!!!!!
It wasn't.
I don't want to ruin anything (more than the these Spierig Brothers already did!), but I will say, they did do a great job of creating this alternate world. There are tons of details that made me think this film was going to be great (and could have been). Unfortunately, it ends up being like so many other bad movies do... Shoot 'em ups, explosions, "I'm sorry... just kidding... no really, I'm sorry...crap, too late", save the day (or should I say night!), "we should have made sure he was dead", lucky the bad guys forgot to account for the famous actor who's not in the last scene.... you get the idea!
So many plot holes, so much sillyness (mostly towards the end)... the only thing that could make me feel better is if there was another of those great animation news clips from China...
I found these two clips some time ago, and forgot to post them until now. While they aren't quite as topicle, they are damn funny!
If you've never seen or heard Kevin Smith (The Director of Zack and Miri make a Porno/ Clerks) talking about movies (well, about anything really), he's damn interesting, honest and funny. Here he is a Comic Con talking about Twilight:
I don't know what the hell they're saying, but this news clip from China cracks me up!
I found a strange twitter link from Roger Ebert... I guess he's old enough to have gone from Pervert to Dirty Old Man, but I didn't expect him to make it public!
Sticking with that theme, if you thought Nathon Fillion was funny in PG Porn, they have another installment out. This time staring that warehouse guy from The Office... Check it out Here. Warning, it seems NSFW, and people will ask what you are watching when you laugh out loud!
And an oldy but a goody... if you never saw Mother Lovers, the sequel to Dick in a Box, then here it is...
