…and I’m all out of bubblegum.” – “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, in John Carpenter’s They Live.

Probably the worst tough-guy line ever.

Stink’s campaign of “terror” leading up to Halloween begins…

I actually saw this flick.

1. Take 28 Days Later, Event Horizon and Sunshine, mix em all together, and you get Pandorum; tense, jumpy, sinister, dark and action filled.
2. Ben Foster is exactly as awesome as I always knew he could be, given a meaty leading role.
3. The set design felt evil and foreboding, but at the same time it felt like if the lights were turned on everything would be just fine.

I find this extremely funny. Nerdy comedy at its finest.

Note that this is the work of  “T. Jones and Killa,” the guys who did the NIN “Closer”/Star Trek mashup.

Found this neat short film. Quite well done for a 16min short film shot in 6 days.

I quite enjoyed it. Nice sense of pacing and atmosphere…

Road to Moloch

You knew it had to happen!  Someone sat in the theater when they showed the 5 minute Iron Man 2 reel and posted it to the internet.  It’s a little hard to hear, and it’s shaky at points, but here it is!

FAILURE!!! REMOVED!!!

Here are my impressions so far:

Robert Downey JR proves, once again, that he IS Tony Stark, and makes even a congressional hearing riveting.

Don Cheadle will make a great replacement for Terrence Howard.

Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer is brilliant casting because he’s the only one who could pull off the evil Tony Stark persona and have it at RDJ’s level.

Scarlett Johansson looks fine in the few flashes you see of her.

Sam Jackson was born to play Nick Fury.

Mickey Rourke as Whiplash looks AWESOME!!

But the last couple seconds…  THAT makes it ALLLLLLL WORTH IT!!!

WAR MACHINE!!!

One of my all time favorite scenes from any movie is this little clip right here…

Which reminded me that after i saw PWBA I got kind of obsessed with it and found out all kinds of trivia, including the fact that Pee Wee’s girlfriend Dotty was played By Elizabeth Daily, aka E.G.Daily, who had a second career as a singer.

Like so…

This is basically the same trailer that was leaked at last year’s ComiCon, but this one is cleaned up and not filmed from inside the theater.

The nerd in me is jumping for joy.  The nerd that IS me is merely pumping his fist in the air.  The transition from inner nerd to outer nerd gets toned down for the masses.

I’ve embedded the trailer here, but you should totally go to the website and watch it in HD+ Fullscreen.

End Of Line.
