Entertainment
Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here? I’m guessing it is, because what man doesn’t enjoy the latest in film, music, and anything else that a person would consider interesting or funny. We write everything ranging from album reviews, to gaming previews, to critiques of the latest Uwe Boll film.
I’m a long time fan of Willem Dafoe’s work. He’s done numerous movies over the years, and though I haven’t always enjoyed the movies themselves (Daybreakers, I’m looking at you), I’ve almost always enjoyed his acting. If this trailer for his latest film The Hunter is any indication, then once again we’re in for a real treat.
The Hunter stars Willem Dafoe as Martin, a mercenary sent by a European biotech company into the Tasmanian wilderness to track down an animal that was thought to be long since extinct, the continue reading →
I’m always amazed at the ingenuity of creative people, and what they can produce with limited materials. I found this video for Kids- The PETEBOX MGMT cover, which is an awesome continuous shot of Pete as he uses only his voice, a guitar, and a loop pedal to create what I think is a song that’s almost better than the original. I’ve always been fascinated with the use of looping and technology for the creation of complex music with very few tangible instruments or components, and out of all the artists I’ve found doing this, The PETEBOX is by far my favorite. continue reading →
When it comes to men’s fashion, I’m not too picky; if you’re not decked out in Ed Hardy douchebaggery and your clothing generally fits and is clean, I won’t overtly complain. That being said, when I saw the Thom Browne 2012 men’s lineup, it reached through my monitor and punched me square in the junk. I scrolled through the images, picturing a horrific orgy where Herman Munster and Rorschach tag team Tank Girl and Pris from Blade Runner. Outside of the terrifyingly mangled offspring they’ve obviously produced here, I mourn the desecration of a cool cadre of characters. If you’re feeling up to it, browse the Thom Browne 2012 men’s catwalk for your favorite…fashions/lumpy spiky monstrosities.

Lockout, the action packed sci-fi thriller starring Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace is hitting theatres soon, and I’m damn excited to go see it. If you’re thinking that the film sounds familiar, you’re right. Lockout is also known as MS ONE: Maximum Security. One of the titles is for the North American release, and the other is for overseas. Which one is which, though? I have no idea.
Now, if you haven’t heard of the film before, and am wondering what the hell I’m talking about, Lockout is essentially Guy Pearce being a continue reading →
Just yesterday I posted the teaser for this Ferris Bueller inspired Honda commercial, and already the full deal has hit the internet. It’s sad too, because I had such high hopes for this. It’s a commercial, featuring Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller; how can a person screw that up? You see, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is one of my favorite 80s movies, and probably one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s been years since I’ve had my Bueller fix, and I expected nothing short of the second coming of Christ from this commercial. Unfortunately, that just wasn’t the case.
The commercial starts off with Bueller calling in sick to work, in typical Bueller fashion, but there’s something wrong. As you watch the commercial unfold, you’ll continue reading →
The legendary Ferris Bueller returns at last! Bueller is a personal hero of mine, and likely the envy of anyone attending high-school in the 1980s. Now he’s returned to bring us more of his quirky dialogue and worldly insights in the form of… a Honda commercial? Yes, apparently Matthew Broderick is reprising his role for an upcoming Super Bowl commercial featuring a collection of brand new Honda vehicles.
This video is just a teaser, and even for a teaser it’s damn short. This clip moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and watch it for a moment you could continue reading →
Given my continuing obsession with all things Prometheus, I’m excited to share this brand new international Prometheus poster with you. The art direction looks fantastic, and I’m glad that Ridley Scott is finally taking another shot at the science fiction genre. He’s damn good at it. Having said that, I do have one minor concern. There’s been a flurry of activity surrounding the movie lately, and I really hope that Ridley Scott doesn’t… get a big… head?
The new poster features another scene from inside the derelict ship, and given the giant ominous stone head, I’m curious what direction Ridley is taking the film. If the ship is full of creepy crawlies, the crew will simply have to continue reading →
It’s official, Gearbox has decided to delay Aliens: Colonial Marines until the fall of 2012. It’s sad news, but to make it up to all of us, Gearbox just released this fantastic new cinematic trailer featuring a distinctly Aliens style and feel, and music from Moon, the 2009 science fiction movie staring Sam Rockwell. I love the shit out of both Aliens and Moon, and for the purposes of the cinematic trailer, the combination works quite well. Clint Marsell really knows how to make a solid soundtrack.
The Colonial Marines cinematic trailer is more of a montage than anything else, but it gives us all a pretty good idea of what we can expect from continue reading →
Several days ago, Chad showed our readers the work of Victor Hertz – who modified popular company logos to convey what we really feel when we see these popular logos and brands. If you haven’t seen it already, I recommend checking it out. And while we are on the topic of advertising and logos, have a look below at some excellent examples of what major fast food companies want us to purchase and we end up receiving.
Below are a series of pictures comparing the advertised products and the actual product purchased in real life. But I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised since this sort of thing takes place all the time. A few examples will include the girls on MySpace with their famous MySpace Angles or girls on dating sites using pictures from 5-10 years ago. And of course, the dating section of Craigslist. continue reading →
Every day we’re bombarded with advertisements on television, the radio, and of course, the internet. Throughout the years, the face of advertising has changed, but one thing has remained the same: the fact that what advertising conveys is largely bullshit. In this amazing collection titled “honest logos”, Victor Hertz paints a more realistic version of the advertising world by showing us more truthful versions the logos we see daily.
Many artists have done riffs of big business and advertising before, but these are by far my favourites. As I’m sure you’ll agree, all of the modified logos convey continue reading →
