How To Merge!

Let’s talk about merging! That’s right, the act of changing lanes when the road narrows. Why is it that there are still the Assholes who insist that they have to stay in the right lane as long as possible.

“QUICK GET AHEAD OF AS MANY CARS AS POSSIBLE!!!”

These asses are the reason merging lanes are a nightmare! If everyone merged into the left lane as soon as they saw the warning sign, we could all cruise through at a modest 40 miles an hour rather than coming to a complete stop while 3 MORONS decide they have run out of road and need to get in.

After all the hype and viral advertising about Paranormal Activity, I had the chance to sit down and watch it, as I didn’t see it in the theater. Honestly I say thank god I didn’t see it in the theater, BUT WAIT! That is a good thing.  I came home from work last night and sat alone on the couch and started it up. What followed was one of the most engrossing voyeuristic spine chilling ghost movies I’ve ever seen.

Paranormal Activity is a faux-reality camcorder movie in the vain of Blair Witch Project, Quarantine and REC, but done very realistically. A young couple plan to document the strange happenings that seem to be occurring around the young woman. With only the knowledge they seem to have picked up from watching ghost hunter TV shows, they set up a microphone and video tape all aspects of their lives. They also call in a psychic who warns them not to pursue the entity within their house or things will get worse. Needless to say things get worse. (more…)

Here is the Trailer for REC2. REC was the tremendously successful (might I add really good) Zombie Flick from Spain that was HORRENDOUSLY remade into the American Quarantine. Rec follows a group of people trapped in an apartment building by the government as there is an unknown contagion in one of the tenant’s rooms. There is a great twist on the zombie genre THAT ISN’T SUPER RABIES! Quarantine just decided to change a great twist to something ridiculous.

REC2 takes up right after the conclusion of the first film, as a SWAT team is sent into the building. The film is in Spanish but has English subtitles, or a dubbed track on the forthcoming DVD. Unfortunately as it is with most European films, it will get released in Britain before it comes to us. It took months for me to finally get my hands on a copy of the first REC, hopefully this one comes sooner. Continue on to see the Trailer.

Finally a New Romero Zombie flick is coming. Granted its gotten so-so reviews and is pretty much coming straight to DVD but still…. one can hope. I wasn’t a fan of Diary of the Dead or Land of the Dead, but this looks like he decided to cut out the bullshit experimentation and go back to what made his early films great. And thankfully it also looks like he tried to avoid discussing modern technology (e.g. you tube ridiculousness from Diary) as it is set on a post apocalyptic island that doesn’t seem to have a lot of modern convenience.  Continue on to see the Trailer. Enjoy!

This week is Dubbed the week of #2! Three great follow ups and one final in a story arch, bring us one of the best Comic weeks in a long time. Hopefully you’ve picked up the books I suggested in the previous weeks because (next to the walking dead) the books listed here today are the best comics being written today. So if you havn’t picked up the first issues to these follow ups  find em and then pick these up too.

The Waking #2

From the writer of Zenescope’s smash hit Wonderland trilogy, and Image Comics THE GIFT comes Raven Gregory’s newest tale of horror. The investigation continues as two bodies go missing from the morgue in search of those responsible for their deaths. Meanwhile, Jonathan Raine struggles to keep his little girl imprisoned or lose her forever.  MATURE THEMES (more…)

After Last week’s mythos dump on LOST, we return this week to another filler episode that will follow Jin and Sun in The package. Rather than discuss what could happen, and how Jin found himself locked in a freezer by gangsters, I want to focus on bigger themes. What is EVERYTHING?

Well I’m sure im not the first person to make these connections with Egyptian mythology, but I haven’t read them anywhere else so I will regurgitate what I personally have found out. Last week I posted that the giant statue destroyed by the Black Rock was an effigy of the Egyptian god Sobek, but I was very clearly wrong as it is common knowledge that it was in fact the goddess Taweret.

First off, I can’t stand anything with mayonnaise in it.  I suppose I can make an exception in my refrigerator if I have guests that like it for some reason.  In any case, I won’t eat the stuff.  Nor will I eat the just-as-disgusting alternative.  Though, now instead of just avoiding an undesired condiment, I feel I need to beat various people and or inanimate objects beyond recognition just hearing about this product.  The fuel for my fire?  Miracle Whip.  Or more specifically, their We will not tone it down ad campaign. (more…)

FORGET the stupid Oscars; The Fantastic Mr. Fox is far and away the best animated feature of last year, and maybe Wes Anderson’s best film.  This movie is beautifully animated and brilliantly adapted from Ronald Dahl’s book by Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach.

Fox follows The Fantastic Mr. Fox in his quest to pull one last chicken heist after retiring to raise a family. In the Process he angers three villanous farmers who vow to kill the fox and make life very difficult for the wildlife in the area . The plot is taken directly from Dahl’s book but Anderson’s signature dry humor is truly what makes the movie great. The characters are all quirky and different from one another but that is what makes them a family, this theme seems to run through all of Anderson’s films. (more…)

Welcome to another edition of GIRMS!!

With your host… The Pyro!! (more…)

OOOOOOOKay! Finally some BIG hints towards where this is going for a change. Last nights episode finally told the story of Richard Alpert and explained numerous different mysteries.

(Synopsis) Richard arrived on the island on the Black Rock, which also destroyed the giant statue (which looks like it was originally the Egyptian God Sobek) when it crashed. Alpert is propositioned by the man in black to kill the devil in order to see his dead wife again (the devil being Jacob) and gives him the knife given to Sayid in an earlier episode. Jacob attacks him in frustrated self defense and tells him that Alpert is in fact not dead and Jacob is not the devil. He also tells him that essentially the island is the cap on the bottle that holds all the evil in the world and Jacob is there to make sure that it is never removed. He then goes on to explain that he brings people to the island to test their faith and trusts them to do the right thing without being told, while the man in black interferes to lead them astray and free himself from the island. In the end Alpert agrees to become the voice of Jacob for interactions with those brought to the island. (wipes brow) WHEW! (more…)
