There will be helicopters involved in the taking down of our capital. Or aid against. I don’t know.
Yesterday, Sony showed a teaser for Roland Emmerich’s “storm the capital” movie that doesn’t happen to be called Independence Day. Details are really scarce, but comparisons to Gerard Butler’s recent White House thriller are inevitable.
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Inductions Coming, Inductees And Appearances Announced
Sex, Drugs and FleshEatingZi…er…Rock and Roll!
It’s that time of year again when our favorite rockers are elevated, placed on a pedestal; this is induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On April 18th, the 28th annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony will kick off and some serious talent will earn their place in music history.
For some of them, it’s about time.
‘Strip Search’ Recap: Season 1, Episode 8 “Drawing Blind”
Amy’s “interpret what the hell that meant” face.
It’s a new week, so it’s obviously time for a new elimination cycle for the contestants of Penny Arcade’s Strip Search. Two contestants down and the group’s still feeling pretty big, but there’ll only be winners out of today’s event.
‘Zombieland’ To Become TV Series Thanks To Amazon
It’s still really popular, guys.
Zombieland is a funny, inventive movie which had exactly one flaw: there’s only eighty-eight minutes of it. No, make that two flaws: that was four years ago. Gosh, well, make that three: Ruben Fleischer, the film’s director, has been too busy not making more Zombieland in the meantime. Well, Amazon Studios, the content creation arm of that other Amazon you know, of Prime and Kindle fame, has decided to move on with creating a show. The pilot, anyway.
‘Admission’ Review: Can Two Likable Leads Save a Boring Movie?
If anyone can, it’s these two.
After taking this gig reviewing movies for FleshEatingZipper, I actually learned a few things about my own tastes in movies. Namely, I’ve learned that if I simply don’t like a movie that is otherwise well-made, I have tendency to rhetorically ask, “What’s the point?” and maybe it’s unfair to ask that question. It’s certainly lazy to dismiss a film by asking that question. Movies don’t necessarily need to shine a light on a pressing issue to be enjoyable. Several movies I raved about last year had no real reason for existing other than to entertain and yet, I still kept asking myself that question repeatedly while watching Admission.
‘Olympus Has Fallen’ Review: The Stupidest Flick of 2013?
Fucking terrorists, man.
North Korean terrorists attack the White House. They infiltrate the highest levels of the South Korean government and use that leverage to get many of their commandos into the United States by having them pose as body guards to the South Korean Prime Minister. The rest of a force of some one hundred soldiers utterly annihilate White House security and blast into the mansion with a combination of RPGs, assault rifles, machine guns, and plastic explosives. They’re so well-organized and well-trained that they manage to snag the President (Aaron Eckhart) and hold him hostage. However, one man stands between the dastardly terrorists and world domination, and he intends to shove an American flag up the ass of every scum-sucking freedom-hater and turn it sideways.
HBO Go Streaming-Only Plan May Actually Come to the US
Hurry up and come to me!
Back in August, I wrote about how parts of Europe would be allowed to subscribe to an online-only version of HBO Go, the complement to your current HBO service that allows you to stream HBO shows on demand, and how I desperately wanted it. Well it may actually happen. Read the rest of this article…
Complex’s ‘Top 40 Hottest Women In Tech’ Is Possibly The Worst Thing You’ll See Today
“We need to post hot women, but of what occupation?”
Ripping a page straight out of the year 1999, a few pages after the Y2K preparations, Complex has brought us not only a lazy listicle (a Top <number> article that simply lists things, a fad that only Cracked.com is authorized to use at this point), but a lazy listicle about the hottest women in tech. At a time when the internet is still buzzing about Adria Richards, the product evangelist of SendGrid who was fired for the firestorm she caused getting some other developers fired with a tweet, seeing a remarkable gem like this appear is perhaps the least classy thing possible
‘Strip Search’ Recap: Season 1, Episode 7 “Elimination #2”
Another Cosmic Smashing IN THE ELIMINATOR!
Another day, another elimination round down at the Strip Search house. (Actually, it’s sorta hard to believe this has taken over three weeks to play out, but that’s ground well-trotted at this point.) In the chamber this time around are Katie (again!) and Ty, sent in by Nick, who felt their position post-job interview had been compromised. How do they hold up?
‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Beams In New International Trailer, Reveals Some Meat To This Film
Duckface McKirk reporting for duty, sir! Pew pew!
To say I wasn’t hot for the original trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness would be an understatement. I enjoyed the J.J.’s 2009 film, but their first glimpse at its sequel was far too much flash and far too little substance, which seems like an odd descriptor for a Trek film. Now that we’re reeling ever closer to the release date, Paramount is finally dropping some bigger news on the film’s story beats and, if you pay close attention – and you will – a few frames of Alice Eve as Carol Marcus in her undies.
