JOSS WHEDON spits about ‘AVENGERS 2’ calling it “complex and difficult” and other jazz.
After Avengers, just let Joss Whedon do whatever the fuck he wants. Let him. He has earned it. He turned your skeleton of a script into the best comic book movie of the past few years. Now he should be given the keys and told to have the car home by…whenever the second movie is due out.
NASA’s CURIOSITY rover makes it safely onto Mars. Everyone drink!
I know this is late news in the wunder-deluge that is the internet churn cycle, but fuck it I want to celebrate. NASA’s Curiosity rover has touched down safely on the Red Planet. Fuck yes.
April Fools: Google Maps Goes 8-Bit
Confession time sans any shame: When I was a wee boy, I would run around in my backyard, sword-stick in hand, playing in imaginary worlds that were mostly inspired by the 8-bit NES maps in Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda. These worlds, grand for a little awesome kid, offered the perfect bird’s-eye view of spatial possibilities, offsetting where you could and could not go–that is, until a major weapon, accessory, magic, or tip was found that would be duly employed to blast through any and all obstacles. Needless to say, life was good. But now that I am old and boring and my penchant for whimsically running around in my backyard returns to me only when I am drunk or deranged, such fancies have passed from my everyday existence–until now. Clearly on a similar wavelength, the gamers behind Google Maps dropped an 8-bit April Fools masterpiece on the world. Take a bird’s-eye view after the jump.
Strange Moments in Solid Movies: Prefaced Insanity and Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman Make Beautiful Music Together in Dangerous Liaisons
First things first: a self-indulgent, rambling preface.
I love movies, especially good, solid movies that work cohesively. I watch movies a lot, hoping that they will all accomplish what they set out to do (or, rather, what I think each is trying to do). Of course, every movie cannot be all-time success, because for there to be a good, there has to be a bad, and vice versa; it’s just how it works out. But when I see a solid movie, I take particular pleasure in not just how it works overall–in a well-made, impressive fashion–but how each part adds up to its collective impressive functionality. And when you watch movies a lot, you tend to become more aware of how specific moments, scenes, even sequences function within the stories being told. Ostensibly, these moments are all included in the final work for a reason–and I don’t think that it’s a stretch to say that the inclusions were made in an attempt to better it in an overall way, be they by simple character clarifications or complex expansions of the story’s universe.
Preview: Wood Talks About ‘Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega”
Brian Wood is returning to Marvel and rocking the fuck out on Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega. Which is close, so very close, to trumping Ultimate Comics Ultimates for the most amazingly cumbersome Marvel title. Ever. More cumbersome than one of my adverb riddled mindlessly spewed neverendingly vapid sentences. (See what I did there?)
Want a preview of this awesomeness? Of course you do.
Trailer: Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie’s Red Band Glory.
Tim and Eric isn’t for everyone. However, it is for me. As someone who exists with serious emotional chasms of horror and a taste of the absurd, I flock to their madness. Call it their Siren Song. The trailer for their upcoming movie? Had me giggling to myself, petting my stuffed ferret who was happily sitting on my naked thighs.
Hit the jump to check it out.
Battlefield Publisher Talks Trash, Predicts Call of Duty’s Death In 2-3 Years.
I love the Battlefield and Call of Duty PR war that’s going on right now. This isn’t some cutesie television campaign that’s poking fun at one or the other. No way! This is EA spokesperson Jeff Brown going full fucking tilt. Spitting some hot fire. Comparing Call of Duty to Tony Hawk. Snap son. Snap.
