Pirate Copy Made Me Buy Theatre Ticket

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

A few days ago a friend of mine handed me a copy of x-men origins: wolverine. you know the one that leaked to the web a few weeks back. usually i turn down these offers coz hey – i like movies. i like watching them on the big screen, so why go for second best. but i’m also a die-hard comics fan and well… the temptation was just too great. i slipped it into the dvd player and you know what? i was so dissapointed. not at the movie, but at the quality. no sound effects, no big bangs, no visually stunning special effects. and what was frustrating is you could tell that there’s a cool movie there. 10 minutes later i pressed stop, called up my bros (yes, at 37 we still love comics) and bought tickets to see it on saturday.

hell i’ll wait another day and pay up the few bucks, but at least i won’t feel like i was getting played

hell yes, i’m gonna watch this flick

Monday, February 16th, 2009

I think people all over the world have been waiting on this movie for generations.

After all the sappy Nazi-era movies Hollywood has spilled out (yes they’re important and most of them very good), it’s time we got a real, kick ass, in your face, action packed, nazi killing movie with the one and only Hollywood madman, Tarantino, and Brad Pitt at the helm.

According to IMDB the synopsis is “During World War II a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as “The Basterds” are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers”

Even “The Office” alum BJ Novak pitches in to kick some nazi ass.

hollywood execs in their 30′s

Monday, February 9th, 2009

yes a wave of nostalgia has hit Hollywood. but it’s not the usual “hey let’s make movies about the groovy 60′s man” but a nostalgia for the TV series that dominated the 70′s and 80′s.

i remember waiting all week for the new episodes of “Star Trek”, “GI JOE”, “Transformers” and such, really cool “culture breaking” TV shows.  now boom! they’re on the big screen, bigger and badder than ever.

 

i know we’ve seen star trek movies for about 3 decades and transformers is just a new installment of the franchise, but there is a big difference between 2009 and the earlier movies.

bigger budgets, A list directors and producers, re – imagination of style and functuality. and most of all, you can tell that the executives behind these movies are bringing in their childhood memories to these productions.

so first of all, thank you hollywood for bringing my TV shows back to life and what’s next – a $100,000,000 budget “dennis the menace”?
