Community Season 3 Outtakes

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , , , , on September 4, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Community Season 3 outtakes.  They’re absolutely hilarious.  It’s crazy how vulgar these guys actually are.  Especially Alison Brie and Joel McHale.  Season 3 was definitely a great season, but it makes me sad to think how this next season could be its last.  With a Friday slot and new show runners, Community could well be on its last season.  And the worst part is that it could out with a fizzle because Dan Harmon, the previous show runner, was behind a lot of the brilliance.  But we’ll see.  Meanwhile, these season 3 bloopers should hold you off until season 4.

Game of Thrones Fighter Game

Posted in Books, Television, Video Games, tagged , , , , , , on September 4, 2012| Leave a Comment »

 

 

This is a cool image created by Dynamaito and it features Game of Thrones characters as street fighters.  It’s really neat how many small nods there are: Hear Me Roar, the Lanniser slogan. Bronn as a back up.  Tyion’s infamous slaps.  Paying debts.  The small council in the background.  Joffrey looking like a bitch.  I would totally buy this game.  I hear the only Game of Thrones game out there was that rpg that didn’t do so hot.  This is the kind of game they need, one where they can’t tinker with the ambitious story scope and just capitalize on the many references they could fit into characters, back ups, settings, and attacks.

Gliding Over All: Breaking Bad Review

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on September 3, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Sorry for the late review, but Labor Day’s kept me pretty busy this time around.

I’ve overall felt that I’ve done a pretty bad job at reviewing Breaking Bad.  As I finished the episode and sat down and wrote my article, I went to some of my favorite other pop culture websites to see what they had to say.  To be quite frank: they’re better than me at this.  They’ve pointed out a numerous amount of things that simply went over my head and that I never would’ve came to conclusion to.  They theorize some of the most absurd but sensical things [oxymoron] and are all around better at discussing Breaking Bad than me.  So instead of riding on their coattails, and claiming their ideas be my own, I direct you to some of the most passionate Breaking Bad watchers out there.

I hope you enjoyed this season as much as I did.  It certainly will set up the season finale well and I can’t believe I have to wait 10 whole months for it to happen.

Morning Link: Television Shows that Should Be Video Games

Posted in Lists, Television, Video Games, tagged , , , on August 31, 2012| Leave a Comment »


From UnrealityMag

Movies adapted into games have largely been written off, and most TV-to-game adaptations have been pretty dismal. But by taking a game and putting it in a style that you wouldn’t expect, the results can be great. You would have thought a Walking Dead game would have emulated similarly themed titles like Dead Rising or Left 4 Dead.

Awesome Game of Thrones Impressions

Posted in Character Profiles, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , on August 30, 2012| 2 Comments »

I went to a comedy club last night and I’m just extremely shocked how ordinary people can completely imitate famous celebrities, despite their complete opposite appearance.  So when I see this Youtube video of this fella in his room, speaking lines from Game of Thrones in perfect accents, it’s absolutely hilarious.  At first he’s fairly serious, speaking lines verbatim, but as soon as he reaches Jorah Mormont, he finds himself saying the most absurd things that concern bunions.  And adding a harsh Khaelesi at the end of every line is the icing on the cake!

9 Reasons Why You Should Watch The Newsroom

Posted in Articles, Lists, Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , on August 29, 2012| 2 Comments »

 

Coming at ya with zero spoilers

1. There really is something wrong with the mainstream media

For those of you who have not seen the show here is the one sentence Wikipedia synopsis. “It features an ensemble cast including Jeff Daniels as anchor Will McAvoy, who, together with his staff set out to put on a news show in the face of corporate and commercial obstacles and their own personal entanglements.” The premise behind this news show is that it will be one that will present only unbiased facts that facilitate relevant, honest debate with the intention of informing American voters. I interpret this as a deliberate and exhilarating smackdown on the lacking mainstream media that people patronize today. I should mention now that this is a largely political show. A politically interested viewer will get more from this show. If you are not at all interested in politics… still watch the show.

 

Jon Stewart said it best. The mainstream media, particularly Fox News and MSNBC, is utterly biased towards “sensationalism, conflict and laziness;” in addition to “relentless partisanship.” I wholeheartedly agree with Jon Stewart and that is why, in addition to its quality drama, I think The Newsroom is so refreshing. Whether you agree or not The Newsroom will make you re-evaluate your opinion on how news is presented to you. And it will do so by respinning the biggest news stories of this past year.

Say My Name: Breaking Bad Summary and Review

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , on August 27, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Breaking Bad aired last night and I’m reeling.  I admit I expected a lot of the events to happen, but the execution was exciting as always.  The soundtrack this year is absolutely astounding and fitting for so many occasions.  I even thought of Drive at a certain point.  Anywho, this episode, Say My Name, is the episode before the season finale.  As a whole after seeing this episode, I’m curious how it will all wrap up, considering that this episode didn’t really set up anything major to happen.  There was a lot of resolution in many places, and could honestly have been the season finale itself.  That means huge things will happen next episode and they’ll happen quickly.  Anywho, let’s summarize what happened last night below.  As always, major spoilers below!

The Relationship Between Baldness and Danger Level on Breaking Bad

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , on August 27, 2012| Leave a Comment »


Here’s an awesome infographic by the Oatmeal.  He has awesomely observed that the more hair you have on this show, the less dangerous you are.  And if you’re bald, you’re like a psycho.  It goes through all the characters on the show including those dead and main characters over time.  In addition, he’s included some hilarious ‘weapon of choices’.  Saul Goodman’s include ‘Epic one-liners’ and awesomely enough Walter’s weapon of choice in both early and later seasons include Science.  Check out the whole infographic below and be sure to visit the Oatmeal.

5 Pieces of Pop Culture I Was Introduced to From Entertainment Weekly

Posted in Books, Lists, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 24, 2012| 1 Comment »

I’ve been a subscriber to Entertainment Weekly since 2009 I believe.  I actually do read it [most of the time] from cover to end.  It’s absolutely one of my favorite magazines for several reasons.  1) It’s not so much a gossip magazine that focuses on the most uninteresting people that so many people find interesting.  2) They cover two industries I love dearly: movies and television.  3) They get the most absurdly early looks at upcoming projects such as pictures or interviews. And finally 4) In the past they’ve introduced me to some of the most beloved shows I’ve come to know.

Sure not all their stories are the best [I can’t tell you how many times K-Stew and R-Pats have been on the damn cover and I groaned], but I’ve compiled a list of 5 pieces of pop culture [coincidentally all TV shows] that, while always hearing they were great, I didn’t actually start paying attention to until I read an article on Entertainment Weekly.  And surprisingly enough, they weren’t all cover stories.  Read on below for the full Scoop.

Surprise Mother F*cker – Redone

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , on August 23, 2012| Leave a Comment »

This is taken from the awesome television show Dexter.  It makes fun of when one of characters sneaks up on another and yells, “SURPRISE MOTHERF***A”.  The internet has tastefully replaced ‘surprise’ with malapropisms, or words that sound similar to a word. The results are absolutely hilarious as each is absurd as the last.

On another note, if you’re not watching Dexter, you need some more blood splatter in your life.  Start now and you won’t regret it.

Bill Hader Loses his Crap for the Californians Dress Rehearsal

Posted in Character Profiles, Television, tagged , , , , , , on August 22, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Bill Hader is definitely my favorite SNL member.  He’s always absolutely hilarious and some of his characters are some of the most memorable in these seasons as of late.  However, he has been known as of late to break character with some of the more ridiculous stuff he’s been forced to say by the writers.  The Californians is a famous sketch for being absolutely disastrous besides the man we’re discussing.  Hader cracked the entire way during the live sketch, but that’s nothing to his complete comedic breakdown in this dress rehearsal.  Seriously, only watch about the first couple of minute because after that the show goes back to its crappy premise and Hader is no where to be seen.

Fall TV Preview

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 21, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Fall TV is upon us and it nothing is more exciting than scheduling days of the week with my favorite tv shows to look forward to.  The glorious return of some favorites such as Parks and Recreation, Happy Endings, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia are sure to make the weeks better and then Sunday night is filled with madness as well.  Not football madness, but the 9:00 and 10:00 spot will be heavily competed for when it comes to Dexter, The Walking Dead, and Boardwalk Empire.  How do you guys cope with so much television?  Don’t you dare say “I don’t watch it”, because that’s inexcusable.  Just kidding, but anywho, I’ve compiled the trailers and expectations of some of my favorite shows, so check ’em out below!  The spoilers in the drama season are likely to be huge, so tread lightly!

Morning Link: Game of Thrones Hottest Women Ranking

Posted in Lists, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on August 21, 2012| Leave a Comment »

It might’ve been a couple of months since Game of Thrones ended.  What a drag those months have been.  That doesn’t mean we’ll stop posting about it though.  This article ranks the hottest women from Game of Thrones Season 1 and 2.  It’s fun to speculate who is number one, but it really shouldn’t surprise you.  Roxanne McKee, pictured above, plays Doreah who got the number 2 slot.  I’m not complaining about that.  Check out the entire ranking system below at Ranker.

Buyout: Breaking Bad Review

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , on August 20, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Two more episodes until the ‘season’ finale of Breaking Bad.  I’m assuming this most recent episode is the final set up before the explosive finale.  There are a lot of loose ends to knot up before we get there, and hopefully most of them are finished up before we have to wait an entire year before we see the resolution.  This episode is primarily a quick wrap up of what happened last as what most episodes are, but this we learn a couple of interesting new things that make us guess twice about end game each character is aiming at.  Enough vagueness, read below for the spoiler filled summary and review of the episode.

Morning Link: Favorite Family Guy Supporting Players

Posted in Lists, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 20, 2012| Leave a Comment »

 

Family Guy is definitely one of the few [or maybe too many for an adult] cartoon shows I actually watch.  It’s pretty witty, though I think it gets a little bit too high on itself.  It gets away with blatant racism [or does it?] and it’s pretty nice to actually laugh at such horrible things when no one else is in the room haha.  It also had a lot of staying power.  Can we say that this is our generation’s Simpsons?  I was never truly part of that demographic, but I think Family Guy is definitely for the younger crowd. This awesome article honors some of the favorite supporting characters.  Above is Bruce from Family Guy and I totally read that in his voice.  There is no Mayor West or Giant Chicken, but the list is pretty solid none-the-less.

Game of Thrones Lightsaber Fight

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , , , on August 16, 2012| 1 Comment »

Now this is a cool video, combine two opposite universes: Game of Thrones and Star Wars.  Combine the sword fights with lightsabers.  Here we have the infamous fight between Jaime Lannister and Ned Stark.  Add the awesome soundtrack from Star Wars and place the lightsaber over the swords and you have a Jedi fight.  It’s a pity they don’t do flips and stuff, but hey that’s no big deal.  Amazing what video production programs can do these days.

Parks and Recreations Bloopers: The Cast is Hilariously and Surpringly Lewd

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , , , on August 14, 2012| Leave a Comment »

When I stumble on one blooper reel, I usually stumble on a whole mess of them.  Here we have NBC’s Parks and Recreation blooper reel from season 2 and 3.  They are just as hilarious as you’d imagine with Nick Offerman leading the team on making others break character.  What you’ll be surprised with is how fierce Rob Lowe is when he screams a string of obscenities to get back into character.  And listening to the usually innocent looking Amy Poehler say the words blow job a couple of times will shatter your thoughts of innocent Leslie Knope.  Regardless, I love Amy Poehler and I think her laughter is like the sun shining on my head.  Check out season 3 below.

Game of Thrones Attack Ads

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on August 13, 2012| Leave a Comment »

This is a perfect time to post this kind of thing considering the major election of 2012 is coming up in a couple of months.  What we have here is a series of political attack ads, as seen on the ones on television with corny pictures, enunciated sentences and harsh personal statements that attack other potential candidates.  We have all the major players here, Robb Stark, Joffrey Baratheon, and Daenerys Targaryen.  I loved the ploys used like the Birth Certificate and other things.  Check out the other two below.

Dead Freight: Breaking Bad Review

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on August 13, 2012| Leave a Comment »

The most exciting episode this season I would say.  Plenty of crime, one-liners, and hair raising moments.  And then a fantastic finale to wrap up the most jaw dropping episode.  I say time and time again that this is one of the best original dramas on television and if you’re not watching, you’re seriously missing out.  I can’t keep not talking about it, so enough with the spoiler free talk, read below for my review and take on last night’s episode: Dead Freight.  As always MIGHTY spoilers ahead.

Super awesome artist Kristele has a very distinct art style.  We’ve featured her banner including all these Firefly characters before, but now I wanna give her credit to these awesome individual pieces.These awesome character profiles of each character could totally serve as a template for a Firefly animated series.  I would watch that.  I would watch anything Firefly related.  All this recent Firefly posting makes me mis the show again…Sigh…time to go watch Firefly and Serenity for like the 50th time….
