They Are Remaking Carrie Again

May 16th, 2012 1 comment

It almost seems like the dust hasn’t settled on the last Carrie remake (The Rage). Now I learn that they are making another one. I didn’t think much of this until I found out that Chloe Grace Moretz is the actress who played Hit-Girl in Kick Ass. I’m terrible at remembering the names of actors and hardly ever pay attention to them, but she did a fairly good job in Kick Ass and she’ll have 3 years of maturity to add to the part.

It could be good. To be honest so long as it has the phrase “They’re all going to laugh at you” in the script I’ll be happy…

 

Star Trek Command Insignia Panties

Star Trek command insignia panties - UK size 10

Really… I know a lot of girls like Star Trek but seriously… The pants available on Etsy (From a UK based retailer in case you are interested) are um… interesting.

I’m really trying to stop myself from cracking jokes about getting into Picard’s pants…

The same shop sells a variety of geeky pants, including a pair of Periodic Table pants:

5 Seconds of Summer

I have to admit that I liked 500 Days of Summer, mostly because of the soundtrack, the story is pretty good but to be honest you sometimes just wanted the main character to man up… The film would have been a lot more amusing if it had gone like this:

ZomBinLaden! They Shouldn’t Have Buried Him At Sea!

October 18th, 2011 No comments

This movie looks awesome! Two divers find the corpse of Osama Bin Laden who was buried as sea, and he comes back to life as a Zombie! How could it be bad?

I love the they research how to defeat him, and decide that Ham Sandwiches is the way forward.

Really Dark Voltron Fan Film

October 14th, 2011 No comments


As far as I can tell Voltron: Defender of the Universe, never made it to the UK, which is disappointing, I loved this TV show when I was a kid. This fan-made film adds a level of darkness to the canon. As Susana Polo of the The Mary Sue rightly points out this has an almost BSG level of realism to it.

I love the Quote:

This is how the mighty fall, Not with a roar but with one small last breath.

I think there is a cartoon reboot of Voltron being aired, I’ve not had a chance to see it yet though.

Bay In A Can!

October 14th, 2011 No comments

I actually hold Michael Bay in more contempt than I do Uwe Boll. At least Uwe Boll knows he’s making shit movies to scam the tax system, Michael Bay actually just ruins franchises out of spite. None the less this video is amusing.

Bay In A Can is a energy drink that will add 100% more tits, ass and explosions to your film…

Kid’s Reaction to Empire Strikes Back Reveal is Amusing…

October 6th, 2011 No comments

I don’t remember a time before I knew that Darth Vader was Luke’s father, in fact even though I watched Empire when I was pretty young I’m fairly sure someone spoiled it for me before I saw the film.

There are so many films I’d love to watch again without knowing what I now know about them.

Interestingly for some reason Luke’s paternal revelation affected me when I was a kid, for some reason I thought that the villain in every children’s TV show was the father of the hero. Megatron was Optimus Primes Father, Skeletor was He-Man’s father etc… That was weird…

Nooooooooooooooooo! But maybe yes? But Nooooo!

Alcon Entertainment the people behind The Book of Eli, P.S. I Love You and The Wicker Man have picked up the rights to do Blade Runner Sequels and Prequels… note the plural, I don’t know if the plural was intentional but it could be…

Blade Runner is one of the tightest Science fiction movies ever released, it still packs a punch now almost 30 years after it was released, it doesn’t need to be remade, or to have sequels/prequels made. It works stand alone as it is.

But a little devil in the back of my mind keeps saying “What if?” What if they get it right, what if they capture Blade Runners visual style, it’s atmosphere it’s magic, that could be awesome! But no! I must maintain my cynical edge! Look what they did to Transformers! Look what they did to G.I. Joe, TMNT… Every Series from the 80′s that gets rehashed, remade etc just gets raped for intellectual property because it will sell purely on nostalgia… “There was Battlestar Galactica that was pretty awesome” pipes up the demon in the back of my mind… I’ll give him that, but in the grand scale of things Battlestar is the exception rather than the rule.

I really want this to be awesome, but to be honest I doubt it will be.
