Morning Banana Oatmeal: The Swords of Lord of the Rings

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , , , , , , , on June 7, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Here’s something you didn’t know about me: I have a Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare book that has diagrams, photos, and concept art on the ‘weapons and warfare’ of the Lord of the Rings Universe.  In it, there are things like how certain blades were made, who held them in the past, as well as many other neat facts and trivia for hardcore buffs.  But if you don’t feel like visiting a Barnes and Noble [I almost typed Borders, but I don’t see those anymore], or dropping $30+, Squidoo has compiled the swords of the movies with miniature descriptions in them.  Enjoy below.

Sean Bean Dies. A Lot

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , on June 6, 2012| 4 Comments »

About 2 months ago, I posted a Youtube compilation of Steve Buscemi and his onscreen deaths.  Let’s be honest the man has a lot of them.  But then I stumbled upon someone else who has quite a number of onscreen deaths.  The great Sean Bean, known for his usually evil portrayals, often have him dying at the hands of many protagonists [save a couple of key roles].  This fantastic compilation/tribute to his many deaths differ from Buscemi’s in one major way: it has heart.  Buscemi’s was a rough compilation that was jumpy between scenes and lacked flow.  This particular video is much more beautiful with it’s wonderful Dead Island Trailer soundtrack that matches perfectly with key moments.  Let’s all bow our heads for a moment to honor Bean’s knack of getting killed.  Also below, an equally fantastic and emotional trailer to a popular video game Dead Island is posted below.  It too makes use of the chilling soundtrack to deliver a powerful and heart wrenching message.  Obvious spoilers to Sean Bean movies

Morning Banana Oatmeal: A Gallery of Johnny Depp’s Looks Throughout the Years

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , on June 6, 2012| 4 Comments »

With the recent release of Dark Shadows and the released photo of The Lone Ranger, it’s clear Johnny Depp has thing for excessive wardrobe.  Just recently, I posted a neat image that superimposes four of his famous portrayals of pictures into one portrait.  Buzz Sugar has done a similar thing by posting a gallery of his entire career around his unique wardrobe choices in his movies.  Johnny Depp’s always been a crowd favorite for his distinct persona, and may he keep giving us those wacky characters.

[Old] Batman and Robin Running From Things

Posted in Movies, Television, tagged , , , , , on June 5, 2012| 1 Comment »

Artist Robert Salvador has created some hilariously awesome gifs of classic Adam West Batman and Robin running away from various things.  I might be too young and bold to say this, but I think this is the age of where actors would run on treadmills and various scenes would be projected behind them.  Because clearly those projected scenes have been hilariously converted to this series of gifs.  Check out the rest of gallery below with appearances from Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and more!

A Korean Western Worth Looking Into: The Good, The Bad, The Weird

Posted in Movies, Reviews, tagged , , , on June 5, 2012| 7 Comments »

I’m not a big foreign film buff. I wish I could, because there’s an amazing plethora of fantastic films all ranging from Swedish to Japanese to Chinese. A couple of days ago, I got my hands on a little American-known Korean film: The Good, the Bad, The Weird. It’s an obvious tribute to the 1966 classic starring Clint Eastwood. While it seems like a cheesy ripoff, the film itself is an absolute blast to watch having an amazing combination of dry humor, great action, and compelling leads.

Morning Oatmeal: The Actor with the Highest Box Office is…Samuel L. Jackson?

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , , on June 5, 2012| 3 Comments »

Please think of a movie where Samuel L. Jackson is the lead role that’s made millions and millions of dollars…I’m having a difficult time.  Now think of money making franchises that Samuel L. Jackson has had a supporting role in.  Star Wars the prequels.  Jurassic Park.  Kill Bill.  The past 5 or so Marvel movies, and then include the actual Avengers movie.  We’re talking millions here since the 80s and 90s all the way to now.  Entertainment Weekly and I’m entirely sure a large number of other websites have put the numbers together and deemed Mr. Jackson the highest grossing actor.  And rightfully so.  His movies are making so much bank, and he’s not even the lead character.  It has to be something about casting him as a guiding side character that is the key to making a multi-million dollar movie.  Definitely.

The Most Dangerous Weapon in the World

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , , , on June 4, 2012| 1 Comment »

I first saw this on Facebook as an image Star Trek legend George Tekai shared.  The truth and irony rings well in the matter, as here we have a screen shot of Luke Skywalker getting his hands on his first lightsaber.  And seeing as how this magical blade can cut limbs and decapitate metal droids, I’m sure this safety hazard should be one of the first things taught in Jedi training.

People have declared that ‘Freaks and Geeks’ and ‘Undeclared’ helped James Franco, Seth Rogen, and many others get their amazing careers started.  All of these were produced by fairly big comedy juggernaut Judd Apatow.  Warming Glow has compiled 20 actors all ranging from Ben Stiller to David Cross who got their biggest breaks on a Judd Apatow produced show.

I Want to Play a Game

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , , on May 31, 2012| 1 Comment »

This is hilariously cruel.  But it needs to be this level of sick if you have Jigsaw’s face slapped on there with his catchphrase and expect it to be reputable.  A slug’s journey through this labyrinth of hell will likely kill him/her/it as it encounters the many dead ends this maze has.  By the way, did anyone like the Saw movies?  I liked the first couple, then it started getting a little strange.  But I always found it’s creative ways in testing human limits to be interesting at best, before I cover my eyes to guard myself from what’s currently known as ‘torture porn’.

The Many Faces of Johnny Depp

Posted in Character Profiles, Movies, tagged , , on May 31, 2012| 3 Comments »

It’s not unknown that Johnny Depp has a knack for taking on extremely strange characters.  The last normal think I’ve seen him do was I think Public Enemies as John Dillinger, [haven’t seen Rum Diary or The Tourist, but seriously have you? LOL, Ricky Gervais joke].  Anywho, This is a neat image that compiles 4 of his works [see if you can guess all four, it doesn’t take a genius to] into a fairly symmetrical image.  I kinda wish more of these were around.  If anyone can dig them up let me know, that’d be great!

Morning Banana Oatmeal: 50 Best Film Fools

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , , on May 30, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Timeout is celebrating the best film fools.  Men and women who are extremely arrogant and ignorant in real life get on my nerves, but when they’re on the screen messing with other people, it  can make a very pleasant movie.  My favorite fools are the incompetent leads in many of the Coen Brother films who make frequent appearances in these lists.  Be sure to leave your favorite film fool in the comment below.

Old Rebels

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , , , on May 29, 2012| 1 Comment »

James Hance has a very large collection of art.  He loves combining two different universes.  Here we have an obvious combinations of George Lucas’s Star Wars and Pixar’s Up.  Pixar’s most adorable and heart breaking couple are parallel to the lovable couple of Leia and Solo.  I don’t think Carl is as much of a scoundrel as Han is, but maybe Leia softened him to be like him in their golden years.  James Hance also has some very cool mixes with Han and Chewie with Pooh and Christopher.  Be sure to check out his other art as hit website.

Disney Characters Do Vogue

Disney Princesses are an object of beauty and perfection.  It’s natural that they’d be featured on the cover of Disney Vogue.  It’s actually kinda neat how deatiled the magazine itself is.  I can’t read the artist or else I’d definitely credit them.  Someone please holla if you know!

Why Batman is Actually Bad for Gotham

Posted in Character Profiles, Movies, tagged , , , on May 25, 2012| 1 Comment »

Cracked has a series called After Hours where they take a group of highly opinionated individuals and break down a random subject by looking at its history and legacy.  In this episode, they debate whether or not Batman is actually good for Gotham.  They use points like his sanity, the villains he creates, and how he could actually truly benefit Gotham by not being Batman.  See the well seasoned debate above.

Morning Banana Oatmeal: Movie Apocalypses that Time Would Fix

Posted in Articles, Lists, Movies, tagged , , , on May 25, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Some movie or television apocalypses on television are so completely detrimental, that it’s clear how humanity truly doesn’t stand a chance.  There are plenty of disaster/apocalyptic movies that use devices like these to make us sympathize for humanity and the characters in them.  However, maybe not all these movies get the sympathy they want: most zombie movies simply involve waiting the zombies to starve out is an example of how time could possibly beat the Apocalypse.  Cracked has naturally compiled such a list.  Check it out below.

Anchorman 2 Has a Trailer…and so Does Great Gatsby?

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , , , , , on May 24, 2012| 1 Comment »

The Anchorman announcement on Conan a couple of weeks ago signaled quite a harmonious uproar of excitement and dorkgasms and douchegasms alike on the internet.  And then with a released poster of 4 pairs of stylish shoes managed to get us even more excited.  But then they also released an alternative trailer with a little tweak of lines.  I had difficulty choosing which one I loved more, so I included both.  You’ll see the other one below.

But in probably bigger news, The Great Gatsby released its first trailer the other day, featuring a very interesting look at the 1920 [which interestingly look like a steampunk version of what the universe was in the Speed Racer movie was set in].  Leonardo DiCaprio as usual looks like he’s killin’ his role, although an interesting comment was made on the Youtube video hailing how Michael Fassbender should’ve been Gatsy, an idea I could completely get behind.  Regardless, it’s an interesting trailer and is expected to be released December 25th, 2012.  You know what else is released December 25th?  Django Unchained.   Where’s the trailer to that movie?

Clearly People Aren’t Following the Rules

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , , , , on May 24, 2012| 3 Comments »

It must be pretty cool that Fight Club is popular with the crowd these day.  Social networking has allowed us to share our love for different things.  Through Facebook, Fight Club has gotten pretty popular and when things trend on Facebook, it labels it as ‘talking about’.  Which brings us to this hilarious image of Fight Club’s page for Facebook and it shows that 58 thousand people are talking about it.  I’m pretty sure the first 2 rules are that you do NOT talk about fight club.  Hilariously ironic.

A Game of Thrones Rock Opera Opening

Posted in Character Profiles, Movies, tagged , , , , on May 23, 2012| 2 Comments »

I feel like I’ve posted 5 of these Game of Thrones opening covers in the past 2 weeks, but I keep stumbling upon awesome new renditions of it.  This one doesn’t actually feature the actual title screen like the Simpsons or Stark Kids version I’ve featured before, but the beautiful violin work of Jason Yang and the awesome rock acoustic mixing of Roger Lima and the White Noise Lab.
