New Moon
I just realized I never got around to posting my thoughts on New Moon that I wrote last week. Here they are.
I’m not one to hate on Twilight. While I’ve never really been a fan, I’m forgiving of most of the elements that might annoy a hater - 80% of conversations inexplicably happening in forests, 90% of Taylor Lautner’s screen time featuring him shirtless and in shorts...

photo credit: (Irfan Khan / Los Angeles Times / November 15, 2009)
Pre-Script: If the above photo of Rich Ross is not the quintessential combination of the words “Disney” and “Executive”, I don’t know what is.
So after studio head Dick Cook was suddenly fired a couple of months ago, I was was unclear about what was going to happen over at Walt Disney Pictures. The...

A few things about Twilight New Moon
Except for #1 and half of #3, I’m inclined to agree.
annamarie:
1. It was worse than I ever could’ve imagined
2. Edward and Bella are in an abusive relationship, right?
3. None of the actors are taking it seriously
4. Everyone gets a look on their face like they’re about to vomit every time they talk. I think they’re trying to express emotion, but it looks like they’re going to...

WatchThe trailer for Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan, and Chris Cooper’s “Remember Me”
See, I’m convinced Pattinson can act, I just wish he was allowed to use his real accent.

'Crush It' Vook Review (no, that's not a typo)
In his brilliant novel 1984, George Orwell makes the point that the best books are those that tell you “what you already know”. In many respects, that’s more or less what Gary Vaynerchuk’s New York Times bestseller, ‘Crush It’ does as well. It pretty much tells us to work hard, care, and be yourself, yet manages at the same time to be the best book on business...

WatchCan’t help but agree with this - it’s an exciting point in time where authenticity can actually be effective, and even more exciting that I may, in my lifetime, have been able to 100% avoid being involved in the traditionally corporate world. Here’s hoping.

This will be epic
amirblumenfeld:
I pranked Streeter again.
It happened a few weeks ago, and I’ve kept the whole thing under wraps because that video (Prank War 8) is being premiered TOMORROW (Thursday) night on Jimmy Kimmel Live at 12:05am/11:05pm central on ABC — and Streeter and I will be on the show to talk about it.
It’s not only my first prank on Streeter in over two years, it’s the first CollegeHumor...

Less than 24hrs after I told Ben Wright (star of such classics as our short films Open Doors and Like a Soapbox) my idea for a podcast for us to do last night, we are now starting what we hope will become a regular podcast - taking various popular DVDs and recording our own comedic insights and thoughts in the form of a commentary track. Today we recorded our first episode, and it’s a...

WatchJosh Ruben, one of my favourite actors (really), comes out with another great character. Most of what makes Learon funny is the same as what make his other main character, Gale Beggy, funny as well. But it works so, so well. Enjoy.

WatchPrince of Persia film trailer:
As fun as I’m sure this film will be, the use of british accents to mean ‘foreign’ in general always confuses me. Don’t worry, the super evil characters will have Persian accents for sure!
WatchSo great. Watch out though, a couple of swear words in this one.

The British know how to treat their ladies. Indeed they do.

Maaan! As if I didn’t love Barrie M. Osbourne enough from all his interviews on the Lord of the Rings DVD special features!
