Morning Banana Oatmeal: 6 Common Arguments that Movie Buffs Are Wrong About

Posted in Articles, Lists, Movies, tagged , , , on May 23, 2012| Leave a Comment »

A while back, I posted an article about how to be a movie douchebag.  There are certain set of rules that movie lovers must abide to correctly integrate with today’s society and culture of non-movie goers.  Some basics like, talking in the middle of it to share a pointless fact, or thinking you’d do a better job are a couple of my points.  But of course Cracked came around and created a list of their own reasons why movie lovers suck, and it’s-like-a bajillion better than mine and of course millions of people read it while probably 4 of you did.

Famous Actors Get Their Villainy On in: A Touch of Evil

Posted in Character Profiles, Movies, tagged , , , , on May 22, 2012| 2 Comments »

I’ve compiled an interesting bundle of videos of famous actors paying homage to amazing cinema villains seemingly paid for by The New York Times.  Below you’ll see Brad Pitt, Jean Dujardin, Mia Wasikowska, Gary Oldman, Kristen Dunst, etc. etc.  playing some of the most awesome renditions of infamous faces like Alex DeLarge, Ray LaMotta, and Eraserhead.  See all of them below.  On another note, Rooney Mara gives me another reason to go absolutely bonkers over her.  I’m sorry most of the videos are un-embeddable.  Please don’t mind switching over to Youtube to watch the actual videos.

See the Gallery of images here and the compiled videos below.  Or it might be easier if I just link you to the actual playlist here starting with Jessica Chastain.  Whatever works best for you.

Avengers have officially kicked off the big summer movie bonanza.  There’s a lot of great stuff coming out this summer, and a lot of questions to go with it.  Can The Dark Knight Rises truly surprise us?  What’s the surprise bomb of the summer [this one might be already answered: looking at you Battleship]?  Regardless, Hit Flix has compiled some interesting questions such as those and compiled opinions on them.  Click the link below.

What if Hermione was Sorted in a Different House?

Posted in Character Profiles, Movies, tagged , , , , , on May 21, 2012| 4 Comments »

We all love Hermione Granger and Emma Watson.  What we have hear is a rather interesting take if she was sorted into a different house.  I suppose the concept here is that based on the house, a certain type of personality or persona is established.  It’s no stranger that most people from Slytherin are jerks and slimy, and to assume that it would apply to most isn’t a far stretch given their track records.  So this image features subtly different attributes into Hermione Granger if she were sorted in a different house. I personally like the kindness in Ravenclaw Hermione, and I am a sucker for brown hair/blue eyes, but I don’t mind the spunky attitude of Slytherin Hermione.  Then again, Hufflepuff Hermione looks like she was kissed by fire and the alliteration is oh too sweet.  And then classic Gryffindor Hermion is just as beautiful.  I’ll take them all please.

Posted in Articles, Movies, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , on May 21, 2012| Leave a Comment »

“Clench up, Legolas”

So, with the advent of the Avengers movie, surely a lot of swag will come along with it, but these realistic Avenger action figures might just leave you guessing as to whether or not the promo pictures were the actors or the figurines. Each costing over 200$ a piece, these collectors items aren’t cheap, with Tony Stark’s Mark VII Iron Man figurine being limited to a 3000 unit release. Assuming you’re into collecting, and have a lot of money to burn, check out the drawing on Kotaku’s article to enter yourself for the grand prize of four figurines (Nick Fury, Hawkeye, Captain America and Thor).

The Batman Takes His Hobbies to an Extreme

Batman is everywhere.  He will find you and he will kill you.  I feel like Liam Neeson’s taken character should also be featured, given his finding people skills.

The Avengers Social Network

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , on May 15, 2012| Leave a Comment »

The Avengers is busy Hulk Smashing awards left and right, and the internet is voluntarily creating more and more buzz by creating these hilarious images.  In this meme, we’ve taken the social medium Facebook and implanted it into the Avengers universe where it’s constantly used.  There are clever jokes and japes that involve likes and the sort.  But I’m sure you read the entire image before you read this paragraph so I’ll assume you’re not living under a rock to the point where you can enjoy it.  HULK SMASH DAT ASS.

The Ultimate Movie Zombie Apocalypse Team

Posted in Movies, tagged , , on May 15, 2012| 1 Comment »

Pop culture rapidly comes together in this anti zombie team.  I would like to say this strictly came from movies and television, but we’ve got some internet pop culture as well as religious figures.  I honestly only recognize 7/8 of the people on this.  For those who don’t know: From left to right: John Rambo, Techno Viking, Youtube Weapons Guy [I think, is this the guy who has all the COD guns in real life?], McGyver, Jesus, Jackie Chan, Myster Guy, and Justin Bieber.  Go google most of these if you’re not sure who they really are.  Regardless, it’s a fairly well put together team, except I think the Brawler and Speed Fighter would easily get eaten and zombified first.  Well at least after Bieber goes.

Morning Banana Oatmeal: The Avengers Final Fight Collateral

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , on May 15, 2012| Leave a Comment »

If you’ve seen the Avengers, you’ll know that the level of destruction in the final fight was borderline Transformers levels of destruction where entire buildings were falling dozens of cars exploding every minutes.  Some cost analysts actually figured out how much all the damage would actually cost and came up with a very large number: $160 billion dollars.  The article compares this disaster to other disasters that occurred.  Let’s just say that we don’t wanna be angering any alien forces anytime soon.

What Joss Whedon’s Avenger’s was Missing

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , on May 14, 2012| 1 Comment »

The image is subtle.  If you haven’t seen it yet, there is clearly a man who isn’t an Avenger with this series of heroes.  For the ignorant, that man is Nathan Fillion, unofficial Geek God.  To the mainstream, he’s known as Castle, but to the geek underground he will always be Malcolm Reynolds from Joss Whedon series: Firefly and Serenity.  I kinda wish he’d be a bigger deal in Hollywood, but he’s a bit too old for Hollywood to make him a big star.  Photoshopped images are all we’ll get out of him.

Tony Stark Snark and the CGI-Fest: The Avengers Review

Posted in Movies, Reviews, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on May 11, 2012| Leave a Comment »

If there was ever a way to start off a very promising blockbuster summer, The Avengers was a proper way to do it.  If there are any movie/Marvel skeptics out there, it takes a lot of stubborn ignorance to deny the marvel (Oh lulz I get it!) of what has been accomplished here.  Starting in 2008 as a vague idea that may or may not form came a movie with so much star power and ambition that it was easy to dismiss this as an action-oriented ‘Valentine’s Day’ that had so many A-listers that each one would eventually be fighting for star power and screen time.  Not only this, but there are 60 years of myth-lore and a rabid fan base that had to be dealt with for this movie to be successful.

It’s almost amazing how it all turned out.  In 4 years, Marvel meticulously planned in each of their corresponding movies how they would  set up this behemoth.  Without these previous movies, character development of these famed heroes would be lost.  So after countless infamous post-credit cut scenes in The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America, Joss Whedon delivered what was thought to be the impossible.  A coherent, action-packed, well-written 2 and a half hour ride that perfectly balances its down to Earth heroes and deliciously evil villain despite an ambitiously star-studded cast.  Slight spoilers.

Jean Dujardin Makes Me Consider Cigarettes

I’ve posted more than once [Sleeping and Villain Auditions] about how much I really like Jean Dujardin.  Here he is doing another clip for Funny or Die about him advertising cigarettes.  It’s not as funny as the other two, but I still think it worth while.

Back To the [Realistic] Future

Posted in Movies, tagged , , , on May 9, 2012| 2 Comments »

After some photomanipulation, Vladimir Manyuhina‘s original image was given a futuristic touch with Marty McFly and his DeLoreon were put into what I remember as the first few minutes of I Am Legend.  The image is cool enough.  Besides all the slapstick and nearly banging his own mother, Marty McFly could’ve gotten himself into a much more dangerous future.  And by the looks of his DeLoreon, he had better find Will Smith fast before he gets eaten by vampires once the sun goes down.

See the original below.
