Oh man, I am excited right now.  Like, twitching in my chair excited. Why is that, you might be asking?  Well, it’s simple.  The sales trailer for George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead has been leaked online!  I think the last time I was this excited was when I actually met George Romero.

The best part is that it looks good.  Like, it looks like a legitimate zombie movie in the spirit of Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and Land of the Dead, rather than a mockumentary like Diary of the Dead.  Whether or not it’s actually that is anyone’s guess, but the trailer certainly give me all I could want and more when it comes to zombie stabbings, zombie shootings, zombie brain-smashings, and general mangling and mayhem.

I may have been one of the only folks not disappointed by Land of the Dead, the last of Romero’s movie-style Dead series films.  Yes, it was more an action movie than anything else, but it was a fun action movie!  Dead Reckoning was a very cool vehicle, and Dennis Hopper was lots of fun.  It’s great to see the zombie master back at work in the genre he created.

I have a good friend of mine who, during the Vancouver Olympics, became the world’s biggest fan of men’s figure skating.  Weird, right?  I mean, I think most people are aware of figure skating during the Winter Olympics, but like she skipped past curling and other Internet favorites and just latched onto men’s figure skating, […]

I have to say, I’m excited about the new Twilight movie.  The latest in the series, The Twilight Saga:  Eclipse, has been given both a trailer and a release date and I cannot wait for it.  You see, I’m decidedly not a fan of the Twilight movies as movies, but as wonderlands of potential comedy, […]

There’s just something about old Hollywood that speaks to me, and there’s no style of movie more elemental, more vital, and more impressive than film noir.  Those old black and white detective mysteries from the 1930’s and 1940’s still captivate audiences, and still influence modern filmmakers, cartoonists, and comic book writers to this day.  There’s […]

A lot of companies are struggling to adjust to the new way of things, and while the USPS is bad, they look like progressives next to your average record company.  For example, consider the case of “This Too Shall Pass.”  It’s the first single off the latest OK Go album, Of the Blue Colour of […]

Yesterday, the collective heart of the Internet skipped a beat when that old reliable video, Rick Astley singing “Never Gonna Give You Up” that launched a worldwide sensation known as Rickrolling, got taken down by YouTube and parent company Sony/BMG for copyright violations.  However, rest assured that YouTube is never gonna give Rickrolling up.  Calling […]

All Ernestine Jamison wanted to do was make a nutritious meal.  It was nutritious, all right; when she tore open her bag of Pictsweet green beans and poured the contents into a bowl, she found a little more than green beany goodness in her bag.  The frozen vegetables also contained the frozen head of an […]

It was just supposed to be a silly little remote piece.  You know, they take the wacky weatherman, in this case Channel Nine’s Steve Jacobs, and they put him in the zoo and have the handlers show off some of the various animals.  Like, for instance, a pelican named Marnie.   However, things did not […]
