This Movie is Garbage. Go See it Now: Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Review

  Estimates put the budget for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the follow up to 2007’s Transformers, at just about $200 million. This may seem excessive for a movie based on a line of Hasbro action figures, but when you consider that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is actually three movies in one it doesn’t seem like that much: $66.67 million for a movie is practically nothing!

      “What do you mean,” you ask, “by three movies in one?” 

Well if you jump the bump, I'll explain.

An Open Letter to Samuel L. Jackson

This is a letter for the most important man with the surname Jackson ever:

Mr. Jackson,

You are terrible.

Just kidding. See, I got your attention. Please read on...

There’s Weird Sex in Middlesex: HBO to mold it into entertainment

HBO is picking up a series about Jeffrey Eugenide’s novel Middlesex. Once upon a time, I would have said there’s no way this story will work on TV… But people seem to be into weirder and weirder shit these days, so I’m guessing it will be pretty successful.

MORTAAAL KOMBAAAT!

Remember Mortal Kombat? It was the original Grand Theft Auto, a game that you’re parents thought was too violent and might turn you into a serial killer. It’s interactive, stimulating, and gratuitously bloody. And it’s back!

An Outbreak of Galifianakisitis

       

The man pictured above has clearly died of Galifianakisitis.

Galifianakisitis is spreading quickly. Symptoms have been compared to a nasty 'Hangover,' which then develops quickly into a dizzy spell, similar to the effects of a 'G-Force', and then, before victims know it, they're 'Out Cold.'

Everyone is in Judd Apatow's 'Funny People'

        I wonder what this conversation is like? Maybe it's

Marshall: "I'm gonna kill you and them loud a** motherf****** barking dogs."
Adam: "Stop looking at me, Swan!"

    or maybe

Adam: "Oh Veronica Vaughn! So hot! Want to touch the hiney!"
Marshall: "My bum is on your lips."

Weight Watchers for Zombies

This article on the movie Zombieland, which envisions zombies who actually carry around the extra weight from eating all those innocent bystanders and more (these zombies live in a supermarket), made me think what the world of movies would look like if all mythical creatures had to live with real world outcomes. 

I had a good laugh at the idea of these figments of our imagination having to contend with the everyday wear and tear of the modern world--witches at the emergency room with brooms stuck up their behinds, magicians waiting for hours on tech support to service a broken wand, and Sleeping Beauties on 1-800-Mattresses.  Anyway, I'll stop this rambling now and show you what I'm talking about--that's right, overweight zombies.
