My Current Crushes from Spring TV

Posted in Character Profiles, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 9, 2012| 2 Comments »

Spring TV may be over, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop talking about it.  With most television shows, I often fall in love with some of the leads, which lends it itself to about a thick 30-40% of why I’d watch any given television show,  with story and humor/drama being the other 30% or so each.  So today, I kinda compiled some of my favorite crushes from this past season and some of the reasons why I fell so hard for them.

The criteria of why I chose some of the women include the following: 1) Attractiveness – most people in this industry are fairly attractive.  From this category, I’m looking for unique looking people who behold beauty in their own special way. 2) Personality – Most of the people on this list will make me laugh.  It’s truly the gateway into most men’s heart.  And when you have to choose from a list of all beautiful looking women, character personality is a good way to divide the lines. 3) Plot Driving – Whether they’re actually essential to the story or just a pretty face is kinda important to me.  It makes it so much more intimate when the characters you care for actually mean something to story.  4) Fashion Sense – I’m a self confirmed Metrosexual, so I value the way women look and carry themselves.  Their choice in wardrobe is very important to me.

Each girl will be based on a scale of 1-5 for each category.  However, each girl only has 15 points to be spent on the four categories, so I had to choose carefully.  Read below how I rated all my crushes.

How Television Shows Naturally Progress

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , , , , on June 21, 2012| 2 Comments »

You don’t need me to explain what this image is. But if it’s too long and didn’t feel like reading, it essentially summarizes how all television shows act. This algorithm applies to both comedies and dramas and maybe even reality shows [eh maybe not, I was tired of Jersey Shore since season 1]. It’s true that most episodes hit their stride in season 3 and 4 because the writers are truly comfortable with their characters. Soon enough they become cash cows to live long enough hit the zombie years. Enough of my garbage, scroll back up and read the image by cracked again. Be sure to visit Cracked.com or Viruscomix.com to support the wit.

Avatar Aang Ain’t Got Sh!t on Mendeleev

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

This is a really colorful image that pitches Aang, the master of the four elements [as stated in the popular Nickelodeon series Avatar: the Last Airbender] against the master of the periodic table of elements, Dmitri Mendeleev. It’s quite hilarious in the way when science and popular culture clashes. In truth, only nerds, engineers, and geeks will truly understand this. And since I fall under all three of those categories, this tickles me greatly.

My Favorite Action Movie and Why: Die Hard

Posted in Articles, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on May 4, 2012| Leave a Comment »

A long time ago, I wrote a very long article concerning my favorite comedy: Tropic Thunder.  It wasn’t soon after I published that article did I think of my favorite movies from other dramas.  It’s difficult to narrow them down, but I eventually settled on action movies.  I thought hard about which action movie is very much worth calling, ‘the best’.  But when you really come down to it, the most influential and generally awesome action movie of all time is “Die Hard”.  Almost every person can relate to the lovable John McClane, the idea of one man vs. a dozen is well displayed here, and the outside help elements are film staples we see in just about every action film these days.  It doesn’t take a movie critic or a film education to realize how elements from this movie have influenced the industry today, and I’ll try my best to break it down for you all.  But first, a summary.

John McClane, a New York police cop, is heading west to join his separated wife for Christmas and their children.  His wife is in the middle of a corporate Christmas party after a celebrated project wrap up, so he must make his way to the building itself.  Admist meeting her and her fellow co-workers, the building is suddenly taken hostage while John narrowly escapes.  In a game of cat and mouse between John McClane and the terrorists, led my Hans Gruber, he must shoot, trick, and explode his way back to his wife with the help of a local cop and a young limo driver.

Morning Banana Oatmeal: The Top 25 Television Shows Watched are Absolute Garbage

Posted in Articles, Television, tagged , , , , , , on April 12, 2012| 2 Comments »

Warming Glow has picked up on the 25 most watched television shows out there and when I took a look at the list, I nearly cried.  America as a whole is watching really sh!tty television.  American Idol, NCIS, Rob?!  And if you include cable, there are things like WWE, Pawn Stars and Spongebob.  It’s almost upsetting.  I personally don’t watch any of these shows, yet I watch a TON of television.  It doesn’t even make sense with how much television I watch and consider ‘great television’ doesn’t even make this list.

Breaking Bad RPG

Posted in Television, Video Games, tagged , , , , , , , , , on April 3, 2012| Leave a Comment »

It might be out of taste because it’s totally so last year, but it doesn’t change the fact I stumbled into this amazingly well done RPG representation of one of the best dramas on television.  It beat out Game of Thrones last year in my opinion, and with filming occurring this year for it’s final season, it’s the only reason why Game of Thrones will probably nab my favorite spot.  I’m off topic, so let me circle back.  Today I give you two different adaptations of a Breaking Bad Video Game.  The one above was done by Johnny Utah who’s taken the Street Fighter Route to tastefully include small jokes made throughout the entire series, and the one below follows a more Japanese/Korean style RPG made by College Humor.  Enjoy them both.

Tate Langdon was Michael Scotts Nephew

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , , , on March 19, 2012| Leave a Comment »

I love finding other actors in obscure roles before they reach their ‘big break’.  The unforgettable Tate Langdon (Evan Peters) paid his dues just one full season earlier at the beginning of Michael Scott’s last season, where he played his nephew.  A spoiled brat, Michael Scott was forced to spank him in front of his co-workers.  But I bet Michael Scott didn’t know, is that his nephew would then go about mass murdering tons of people a year later.

8 Characters I Want on my Team in the New South RPG

Posted in Lists, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , on March 19, 2012| Leave a Comment »

We’re really not a video gaming website, though it might be a direction I want to take it in the future.  But this is a rare case where television meets video games.  If you haven’t heard, South Park has returned with its 16th season and the jokes are absurd, crude, and hilarious as ever.  News says that creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are now in the progress of making video game about the town of South Park, Colorado.  While there have been South Park games in the past, this is the first one including heavy involvement from Parker and Stone.  If this game has 10+ years of mythlore of the series in it and there is an RPG element that is rumored, then I’ll want these 9 favorites on my team to take down whatever darkness might incur on the streets of South Park.

Character Profile: Dexter Morgan

Posted in Character Profiles, tagged , , on March 15, 2012| 2 Comments »

Dexter Morgan is an everyday man.  He works at Miami Metro Homicide, brings donuts for his co workers and has a very normal girlfriend.  Behind this mask of normalcy, Morgan also goes out at night and works as a serial vigilante, hunting down criminals who escape the justice system, lays them on a kill table, lines the rooms with his victims, and eventually cuts their throat/stabs their heart/what-have-you.  Clearly disturbed and borderline insane, he has a strict moral code that dictates how he lives his life.  For nearly 7 seasons now on Showtime, we’ve watched Dexter grow from a cold hearted killer to not-so-cold-hearted killer, and we’ve loved every minute of it.  So I’ve compiled a gallery and bio for TV’s favorite serial killer.  More below.  In addition to SPOILERS.

As a deviant artist myself, I’ve developed respect for the artists that I’ve ‘stolen’ these images from.  As a result, I’ve added a link to each artist [a painstaking procedure] in an attempt for them to get their support by viewing their pages.  Please be sure to do so.  Especially artist Patrick Brown who the first 4 images belong to.  His work is phenomenal and he deserves your attention.

Spirited Away (2002)

There are a lot of lists that include the best movies ever.  Each list has its own personality and every movie on it has its own credibility and worthwhile aspects to be watched.  So if you ever wanna burn through 100 movies.  As for me…I’m at 64/100.  If you’re lower than me, you have work to do.  If you’re higher than me, movie film points for you.

My 5 Favorite Pixar Characters

Pixar has a knack for creating some of the most lovable animated characters to ever hit the screen.  They’ve done more than 10 movies where each of them has at least 2 or 3 likable/lovable characters.  So I’ve made a list of my 5 favorites below.

4 Characters in Movies Who Won’t Shut Up

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , , , on March 12, 2012| 3 Comments »

Dialogue is the writer’s way to speak the characters soul in a movie.  It relays personality, interests, priorities, and values that we come to love about our favorite movie characters.  Too much of it however, can be a bad thing.  Not in all cases, but most people don’t like people who have an infinite battery source on the chatterbox.  The ramblings of a disillusioned man or even an intelligent man can usually tend to get on our nerves.  Today I’ve compiled a rather small list [but equipped with videos as well as images] of some of the biggest chit-chat-kats in the movie galaxy that are worthy of your note.  As usual, please let me know who I’ve missed.  I like my mind stimulated as much as yours.

Adult Innuendo in Kids Films

UGO does a good job in compiling lists and can be compared to Cracked.com.  Which is a humungous compliment to them.  They’ve listed a couple of movies of where kid’s movies have adult innuendos.  Not all kids movies are strictly for kids.  There are a couple of jokes that simply fly over their heads and the parents and baby sitters put their hands over their mouths and giggles.  Here’s the link.

5 Benefits of Being a Movie Buff

Posted in Articles, Lists, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , on March 9, 2012| 3 Comments »

Last week, it sort of felt as though I bashed being a movie buff in preference for being a television buff with so many television related posts.   I can feel sometimes that I relay the imbalance of movies and television and I have to remind myself that I still need to write about movies every once in a while.  I haven’t really been to a movie theater as of late and all the movies I’ve been watching are either old or terrible, neither of which warrants a full blow review.  And I tire of lists that hold little relevance.  So I kind of went into the mind process of when I wrote about my ‘television ratio’ and ‘reasons to watch television’.  Today I write to defend the movie buff honor and claim how pride I am to being one. Below I’ve compiled a list of 5 reasons or better yet, perks to being a movie buff.  Read below.

5 Child-Demographic Targeted Series I Would Still [and maybe do] Watch

Posted in Lists, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , on March 8, 2012| 5 Comments »

I have two cousins around the age of 9 and 4.  When they come visit me [or I come visit them from college], I, my parents, and my uncle and aunt have found television a great way to pacify them.  As cruel and demeaning to them as it sounds, I’m sure my parent readers know what it’s like to require some peace and quiet.  But when I don’t feel old enough to talk to my parents and uncles and aunts [although I’m 20, so I feel as though I should], more than often, I sit with them to see what’s still running on good old Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network these days.  Truth be told, I’m pretty disgusted in what flies as acceptable for cartoon shows these days.  Things like this Gumball show or Chowder, what have you.  I don’t identify with any of it.  But I’m probably as disgusted as my parents were when I turned on shows like Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents in the 2000s, and even shows like Doug and Rockos Modern Life in the 90s.  Regardless, despite the childish aspect of some of these cartoon shows, there are a couple of respectable cartoon shows that, while catered to children, also capture my interest due to themes only adults would get and character/story development that goes far beyond the minds of the targeted demographic.  Below I’ve compiled 5 cartoon shows that are catered to mostly children and my explanations as to why a 20 year old like myself would totally still watch it.

I’m a guy and I can totally relate to this list.  As soon as I saw Malcolm Reynolds at number 25, I knew this list would be A-okay.  If you’re a gal who simply loves the lovable, hunky, brave, what-have-you men that fill up the silver screen, this is a list that’s totally for you.  Empire Online has compiled what they believed the 25 sexiest movie/tv personalities were and they even put a little ‘do you agree or disagree’ poll for each one.  Be sure to check it out

Morning Oatmeal: 20 Failed Franchise Formations

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

It’s no surprise that many movies have tried to copy the repeating success of a film franchise.  No one movie alone can beat the strength of a franchise in terms of box office.  Everyone beginning film wants to be the next Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings.  But where these franchises have succeeded, about 3-5 have failed.  Below you’ll find The Golden Compass, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Eragon.  While not all these films are bad [Mystery Men is in there, and I absolutely loved that movie], either their box office or uncommitted stars stopped these films from become sequels or even more.

A Cartoon Intellects of the Round Table

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , , , , on February 24, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Adam Withers got a commission [got paid to visualize an idea] to draw this collection of cartoon intellects.  When I originally saw this image, I could only identify about half, Velma, Dexter, Edd, and Nigel Uno.  When I visited his deviantart page, I soon realized that Jimmy Neutron is stud in the leather biker jacket.  The other two are apparently from TV shows called Daria and Johnny Test which I think we’re a little after my time.  Regardless, this is a genius collection of  cartoon intellects that with they’re combined knowledge, they could create world peace…or the means to destroy it.
