Sinbad: Back in action?

SinbadDo you remember Sinbad?: Well, most people don't. He was a family friendly comedian from back in the day. I mean this guy was popular...really popular. He had a few movies and major specials. (Plus, people remember those ugly pants he had.)I've always been interested in Sinbad because he glowed red hot in the 80s and early 90s and completely disappeared after that. No one gave a shit about Sinbad. It seemed I was the only trying to keep...

Aurora: By Hans Zimmer

Aurora: By Hans ZimmerAfter the Aurora shootings, Hans Zimmer wrote a wonderful piece of music dedicated to victims of the incident. This was that track. It is the “The Dark Knight Theme” that has been carried over throughout the series of movies. Here's the theme in an early form in Batman Begins. And the Theme returns for The Dark Knight in a darker form....

Best Star Trek Ad ever…Kirk vs. Gorn Match II

 Best Star Trek Ad ever…Kirk vs. Gorn Match IIOkay, that put a smile on my face.  Having watched a lot of the TOS episodes again, I really dug this spot.  Who knew the Gorn played videogames?  By the way, the Gorn design in the game looks more a kin to the versions used in the ST Enterprise show, which is a nice touch.  However, I am not that interested in the game, but it might be okay. &nb...

Splash: Diving with the Stars?

Splash:  Diving with the Stars? Not to be confused with the 80s movie starring Daryl Hannah, Tom Hanks and John Candy.  I actually would have liked if this show was related to the old 80s movie instead of this shit.  Have we not only scraped the bottom, but no cut through the bottom?  It is rather sad to see we’ve gotten to the point where we want to see “stars” diving.  I can’t see how that’s interesting, but then again...

Donglegate: The Adria Richards Saga Part 1

Donglegate:  The Adria Richards Saga I don’t know if you've heard the story of Adria Richards and her incident at PyCon.  Basically, seated behind her two developers started making sexual comments using tech talk.  They said something about Forking and a term Big Dongle. Richards was pissed and decided to dish out some Internet Justice.  She turned around, smiled and took the pictures of the two developers. ...

House of Cards

House of CardsThis is my first watching of a Netflix series.  I am into the 4th episode.  I am really impressed with the high quality of the series.  House of Cards (HC) is a series based on a BBC miniseries.  In a lot ways, this series has a miniseries feel to it.  The story clearly has a set end to it with all the elements being set up early in the series.  Some people are going to get hurt. Think of this show...

BioShock Infinite first impressions

BioShock Infinite: I am watching the opening chapter to this game through a Let's Play. The visuals are amazing so far. Robotic Horses and a street full of people walking around doing their own things. Columbia is different than Rapture because it is so full of life. The music is really good. ~God Only Knows: Did you just catch that the barbershop group sung a modern song? Was that a time displacement? It is a Beach Boy song from the 1960s. ~Heads or Tails: Was that mind control? ~We get another version of a “Big Daddy”. ~Circus...

Bill Cosby hates you liking his sweaters

Bill Cosby hates you liking his sweatersI guess he's been eating tainted pudding pops or that New Coke has been going to his head. I got a good kick out of this story because a guy named his site CosbySweaters.comand all hell broke loose when Cosby's lawyers sent the owners a cease and desist letter over the name Cosby Sweaters. They had to change the name of their website, and now it is called Next Impulse Sports. I liked the other name better....

This time around a photo guy named Axel Buhrmann took a picture of said event. From Huff Post, ((The event, which featured young women in swimsuits dancing in front of a new line of refrigerators and washing machines, was called "tawdry marketing" by South African tech news site GirlGuides...

Enlightened Cancelled

Enlightened CancelledFrom E-Online, ((It was a very difficult decision," a rep for HBO said in a statement. "We've decided not to continue Enlightened for a third season. We're proud of the show and we look forward to working with Mike White and Laura Dern in the future."))Because I just read the story last night, I decided to watch the first episode of the second season On Demand on the HBO.  And, I have to say I actually liked what I saw. ...

Sim City 5 launch was a mess...sound familiar?

Sim City 5 launch was a mess...sound familiar? Error 37 Part II?Why do you have to connect to the internet given that you're playing solo? If you're going to force people to play online, have the severs work. The kicker is when the sever drops the game, you might lose your data. And, I am not shocked EA is involved in this bullshit. And, I find it strange that they would pay for all these severs given that it will cost more money to keep them...

Random Things

Random Things~Paparazzi Steve gets slammed and arrested: “I can't take this.” Well, you shouldn't have confronted the cop. The best is there was a woman that asked, “Is this part of the show?” Supposedly, this guy walked onto the set of the Smash in NY. I guess this incident will give the poorly rated show a little bit of a boost, because right now that show is in the crapper as far as ratings go. This guy has been known as a jerk even to other...

Thoughts on Soda and Palin: Soda on Palin?

Thoughts on Soda and PalinI generally don't get into politics, but...This is probably one of the dumbest photos I've seen in a long time.At first, I was like “That doesn't look like Sarah Palin”. My second thought was “she looks really goofy with that Big Gulp”. And, yes that Soda ban in New York is a stupid idea and we don't need our governments acting like mothers. We need to teach people to drink and eat in portions instead of large...

Star Wars Detours: Delayed Trailer

Star Wars Detours: Delayed TrailerYou won't be seeing this anytime soon, because Disney is postponing this parody movie. Lucjust asfilm set the release date for March 11, and that has come and gone. It should also be noted that Disney hasn't set an alt-date either. Something tells me that they'll just drop it. Seth (Joker) Green was involved with this project, and probably because of his Robot Chicken involvement. While it seems to be set...

Lil Kim, You've changed...

Lil Kim: What happened to your face...Holy crap, that's a lot of surgery. I hate say this, but someone close should have stopped her before this around of surgeries. You can't even recognize her anymore. I have no idea why certain women fear getting old so much. And, they fear it so much that they're willing to destroy their faces in the process.I mean look at these pictures. She is slowly turning into a cat person. Why, Kim, why? There was...

Rude Theater Goers

Rude Theater Goers I love these stories.  I had some bad experiences in the theater, but nothing like these stories.   Maybe because I go at earlier times, I don’t get the bad experiences that I used to when I went to late showings.  I still get annoyed with the chomping of popcorn and the big gulp drinks.  The cell phones are annoying too.  I have no idea why security/management doesn’t throw people out.  It reminds me of this video. &nb...

Scary Movie 5 Trailer 2 (not funny)

Scary Movie 5 Trailer 2Wow, that was unfunny.  The Scary Movies haven’t been that funny since the first movie.  The second movie was okay, but the 3rdand 4th movies were not funny.  The Wayans brothers made the first two and the Zucker Brothers were involved with the last three.  David Zucker is only producing this one and isn’t directing.  However, this one actually looks worst than the last one.  You might remember...

Domino's Pizza is very different in Japan...

Domino's Pizza is very different in Japan...Uh, this very strange. First off, why is the Japan CEO doing the ads? He's no Dave Thomas.  He comes across as that creepy old man on the subway that smells like burnt shoe polish and carries a oily brown paper bag.  Second, what's up with the extreme closeups? Who the f' is Hatsune Miku? Does she delivery pizza? And, some of the other Japan Domino's ads are strange too...It is as if someone wanted to spoof how Americans viewed Japanese pop culture, but failed at it. I like this one...

YouTube Comment Spamming Robots?

YouTube Comment Spamming Robots? Yep, you're supposed to take this song as being legit. It's bad, but with over 900 “likes”. Something doesn't add up here.  BTW, why is this guy trying to be Lil Wayne?  While digging through The Daily Dot's story on a “self-made” pop star, Iread through the reddit story that talked about the allegedly huge use of Spambots on his music videos. Given the “quality” of his songs, there was no way he was...
