I am sitting waiting for a showing of Death Race. Located conveniently next to us is this ad of the upcoming horror film Quarantine. The ad looks innocent enough, but every 30 seconds or so, a very lo-fi speaker has Jennifer Carpenter screaming about her imminent death. Constantly. Every 30 seconds. […]

Hopefully more than just pillow talk, Evil Dead 4 may be in the works!
Sam Raimi speaks from San Diego Comic Con:
“I love working with Bruce Campbell and he’s like Allison [Lohman, of Raimi’s Drag Me To Hell]. He’s super willing to do anything to make it right. He’s a very funny guy, but mostly he’s […]

Sorry for the couple-day delay in getting this review out there. Hopefully there are still some people out there who haven’t seen this movie and want to read a review of it. My mini-review is below, and a full review (with spoilers) is after the jump.
The X Files: I Want To Believe: 4 stars/ 5.
Pros: […]

Who knew that lunch could be this awesome? After the jump, more incredibly nerdy bento boxes.

In the Dark Knight one of the Joker’s schemes to bring anarchy to Gotham makes use of a classic game theory puzzle called the Prisoner’s Dilemma. However it isn’t clear whether the film’s writing team didn’t understand game theory or didn’t care. One thing is for sure, they got it wrong…

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a huge soft spot for what I call “nerdy scientist movies”. These movies are always terrible, but the plucky and endearing scientist characters make the movies worth watching. Think: Twister, The Core, andJurassic Park (though Jurassic Park is also awesome because of the dinosaurs, obviously). […]

Get with the program and check this new graffiti animation by blu. It’s a few steps beyond your average tag….

Way way back when it was a cold winter, the White Ts White Belts party (with DJ’s Emynd and Bo Bliz - who we talked about last week) played host to a totally D.I.Y. live performance by Philadelphia’s own Freeway. Patrons at the Arts Garage (R.I.P.?) were treated to a bunch of Freeway songs when, […]

I just got back from seeing Tragedy at the First Unitarian Church. I’m covered in sweat and crust-punk neu-smell. I’m tired/ I want some pizza. Yet still I give you the weekend picks…

I saw Iron Man last night and i must say it was everything i wanted it to be and left very satisfied. I’m not going to spoil anything for you but i will tell you this. Robert Downey Jr. is awesome as Tony Stark Just as was expected. The gadgetry is dope, the action […]

A new ” X-Files 2: I Want To Believe” production photo was released today, and it’s got the fans talking! Only click through if you want the movie spoiled for you (unless it’s just a big misinformation campaign).

OK, maybe they aren’t conquering the world but brothers Mike and Tom Quinn are making some big moves.

Fixed Push, motherfucker!

Mike McKee is like the Punk Rock Mayor of Philadelphia! He’s in a bazillion bands, DJs at England Belongs To Twee, is a freelance writer, etc etc etc. Pretty much he’s one of the All Time Best Philly Punx.  Tonight he is kicking off a new event called Punk Rock Movie Night at the First […]

Happy Halloween, my dear fun vampires. Here are some “horror” themed videos to check out.

I have a bit of a cold today so I’m not going to screw around and list eight million events. This time you are pretty much only getting those things that are my absolute pure picks for what I would go to if I didn’t have a cold.  Everything else….pssssssh! 

Paramount Pictures has confirmed that a “G.I. Joe” film will begin production in February and is scheduled for a release in summer 2009! Don’t drop your trousers too fast though…G.I. Joe will become an acronym for “Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity” — an international, coed task force charged with defeating bad guys (please be Cobra). […]

This weekend pretty much has something for everyone. You’ve got your indie-rock nerd shows, your dance-til-you-puke DJ events, your Mexican wrestling, your eternal salvation and enlightenment…you get the idea.

So last week I was discussing a particular Anthony Bourdain episode of No Reservations with a friend. It was the one where he visits the Pacific Northwest and discovers food-inspired tattoos, geoducks and…maple-bacon doughnuts. Yes, maple-bacon doughnuts, but this is not what I want to share with you my friends. I introduce to you nature’s […]

Since things have slowed down here a bit, I figured there’s no better time than the present to get all livejournal/xanga up in this bitch. So recently this Fun Vampire has watching a British show called Totally Frank, on some channel that I think is named Family Room HD. The show is […]
