  • This alarm clock won’t stop buzzing until you disarm the bomb.
  • Boredom + construction workers + crane = Hilarity.
  • This guy left a disposable camera chained to a public bench for a day, then posted the pictures online.

This Week in Movies – 3/24/08

Monday, March 24, 2008

In Theaters:

  • 21 – Kevin Spacey leads a bunch of MIT geniuses to Las Vegas to beat the house. Loosely based on a true story. Looks interesting. Travers liked it. Plus, I have a friend that PA’d for it. I know people.
  • Run, Fatboy, Run – On the plus side, Simon Pegg’s in the lead. On the minus side, it’s directed by Ross . On the plus side, the trailers are mildly humorous. On the minus side, they first started playing over a year ago and haven’t changed much. I’m conflicted.
  • Stop-Loss – Ryan Phillipe goes to Iraq. Ryan Phillipe comes back, still just as pretty as when he left. Ryan Phillipe’s tour gets extended. Ryan Phillipe doesn’t want to go back. I don’t blame him, but this movie sounds a little too preachy. Plus, most of the soldiers I know would never stay home while their buddies went back out for their extended tour. Not saying it’s right or wrong, just saying I doubt the accuracy of this story.
  • Superhero Movie – Another lame movie trying to make a buck off of every pop culture reference they can possibly cram into a movie. Look people, if we stop watching this crap, they’ll stop making it. Save yourself some money and go rent a real satire, like Shaun of the Dead , or Hot Fuzz , or Dr Strangelove or even Airplane for that matter. Otherwise, we’re going to be plagued with broadcast premieres of these things on Comedy Central for the rest of our pathetic lives.

On Video:

  • The Mist – Another crappy horror remake. Please, make them stop!
  • The Kite Runner – A lot of people had issues with the changes from the book. Muslim extremists had issues with a rape scene. I thought it was pretty well done … the movie, not the rape scene … not that the rape scene wasn’t well shot … I mean I just never thought much about that scene … I mean the quality of the scene, not the scene itself … not that a scene like that should even be analyzed critically … I mean … crap.
  • Wristcutters: A Love Story – Patrick Fugit finds out that Purgatory for suicide victims is almost exactly like real life. I haven’t seen this, but I can almost guarantee I will own it some day. Watch it.

Favorite Video Friday – In Reverse

Friday, March 21, 2008

It’s that time again. Time to waste your valuable time with random videos that I waste my time looking for so I can waste your time by posting them here for you to waste your time viewing.

This week: Everything’s in reverse!!!1111!!11!11111111!

I already posted Pharcyde’s Drop, but here are some more gems.

Coldplay – The Scientist

WPvideo 1.10

This video is classic. Not much more to say. I like the part where he goes backwards.

Rob Dougan – Clubbed to Death

WPvideo 1.10

It’s the end of the world!!! I have no idea what’s happening in this video, but it’s backwards, and I like it.

God Lives Underwater – From Your Mouth

WPvideo 1.10

This video combines three of my favorite things, Asian television, eating, and playing things in reverse. Where would we be without YouTube? Hooray for the intarweb!

Stumbling Through the Internet Pipes

More Stumble goodness:

I thought paper cranes were cool, but someone made an Origami X-Wing! Don’t worry, I’m already committing it to memory.

This is the coolest lamp I have ever seen, but it might get annoying on those nights when I can’t sleep.

Where was this when I was mowing my dad’s lawn?

If I had this alarm clock, I would never oversleep again.

Megan already covered this in her blog, but it’s still cooler than being cool. I finally got her to switch directions!

This Week in Movies – 3/17/08

Monday, March 17, 2008

In Theaters:

  • Drillbit Taylor – Owen Wilson plays a bodyguard hired by 3 High-Schoolers. Gotta be good for a laugh or two. I’ll give it bonus points if we get a Whitney Houston cameo.
  • Shutter – Apparently dead people can come out of photos now. I, for one, am running for the hills. Good to see the Mighty Ducks kid getting work again, but the best thing about this movie is that it’s coming out the same week as Drillbit Taylor , so it won’t make number 1. Come on, America, friends don’t let friends watch bad “horror” flicks.
  • Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns – I don’t know who Tyler Perry is, but if there was some way to get in on his racket, I would do it. The man is a marketing genius. Black people love Tyler Perry movies and he pumps them out faster than processed pork tongue at a bologna factory. If you liked the others, you’ll probably like this one. I don’t get it.

On Video:

  • I Am Legend – Will Smith vs. Vampires. Supposed to be good creepy fun.
  • Enchanted – An animated princess is banished to the real world. Surprisingly clever for a Disney movie. Amy Adams is … uh … enchanting … I just died a little inside.
  • Atonement – Keira Knightley falls in love only to be betrayed by a little brat. I’m guessing there’s redemption sometime before it ends … just a hunch. I don’t know, chicks dig it I guess.
