‘Bait’ (in 3D) looks awesomely stupid!

May 16, 2012 2:36 PM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Trailers Tagged With: ,

Don’t you just hate it when you go grocery shopping, and then people with guns come in and hold everyone up, and then a tsunami hits and floods the entire store and also a 12-foot long great white shark gets swept in to? Oh, wait, that never happens to anyone in real life, but it is the premise of Bait (in 3D), which looks so awesomely stupid that I have to see it. Granted, I’m a little disenchanted with the whole shark grindhouse genre after last year’s Shark Night (also in 3D) limped through a neutered hour and a half, but at least there’s enough gore in the trailer that promises us something fun to watch and laugh at.

Feist’s ‘Cicadas and Gulls’ music video!

May 16, 2012 11:14 AM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Music Video, Musicians Tagged With: ,

Earlier today, Feist dropped a new music video for my favorite song off of Metals called Cicadas and Gulls, which true to the song’s nature, is pretty stripped down, as she plays on a street at night with a crowd behind her along with some vocalists backing her up. Also, there’s two guys who sort of dance in front of her the entire time. Which seems a bit … off. If this were the dubstep remix, I guess this would make more sense. Hmmmmm … actually, it sort of coalesces if you just go “wubwubwub” over it the whole time. Other than that, the song and video are both AMAZING.

‘Prometheus’ calls for help in a new viral clip

May 16, 2012 10:18 AM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Film Tagged With:

In all the hoopla of The Avengers pulling in enough money to fill a Scrooge McDuck money pool, it’s important to remember that Prometheus is also a movie that nerds want to see (on June 8th), and that will eventually rake in a lot of money. In this new viral clip, Noomi Rapace‘s character offers some insight into the plot and the motivations for her character. It creates a great atmosphere of eerie mystery around the movie, which I adore. Also, something tells me Noomi has final girl written all over her. Call it a hunch.

Adult Swim is picking up some new shows!

May 16, 2012 7:14 AM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Television Tagged With: ,

Good news, late night stoner TV viewers! Adult Swim is picking up a bevy of new shows, all of which have impressive alt-comedy pedigrees to them, for the new fall season. This includes new shows featuring one based off of Harold and Kumar, a new show from Community‘s Dan Harmon (which should tide us over if Community is cancelled) and various others which I’m sure I would enjoy more if I actually did weed. I’m not cool. Deadline reports:

Untitled Animated Harold & Kumar Project (In Development) – An animated version of the eponymous blockbuster stoner comedy series. Produced by Lionsgate.

Rick & Morty – A genius inventor grandfather and his less than genius grandson, and the journeys in life they share. From Dan Harmon (Community) and Justin Roiland. (30-minute animated)

Colonel Wallace (Working Title) – An eccentric southern fried chicken magnate and his adventures with his family. Created by Greg Cohen (Conan O’Brien, King of the Hill, TV Funhouse). (15-minute animated)

Coffin Dodgers – A group of misfit grumps get into Animal House-style trouble at a cozy suburban retirement home. From Dave Silverstein and Matt Jeser (Drawn Together). (30-minute animated)

Green Bench: The American Day Dream – A group of friends have pooled their money to buy a large office space for their business. The only problem is they haven’t quite figured out what that business is. In the meantime, it’s an awesome headquarters where their petty, self-centered, and mischievous minds can wander. From the internet sketch comedy sensation Green Bench and produced by Dakota Pictures. (30-minute live-action)

Freestyle Love Supreme – These I.T. guys work on their freestyle rapping at the office, much to the annoyance of their co-workers. From Ars Nova (Black Dynamite, In the Heights). (30-minute live-action)

King Star King – King Star King is a modern day he-man who’s half-warrior, half-idiot. From artist JJ Villard (Monsters Vs. Aliens) and Eric Kaplan (Big Bang Theory). (15-minute animated)

Rolling With Dad – A brilliant, but disabled man deals with his much less intelligent family. From Seth Grahame-Smith (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies; Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter; Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows; The Hard Times of RJ Berger) and David Katzenberg (The Hard Times of RJ Berger). (30-minute animated)

I might be in a boat by myself here, but as a fan of Drawn Together, I’m totally looking forward to Coffin Dodgers. Plus Colonel Wallace sounds pretty promising too, although I’m basing that more on Greg Cohen‘s track record, which has been consistently funny but still smart and subversive enough to avoid being labeled low-brow. But more than anything, I just want to see Rick & Morty, which I’m dubbing Community‘s eventual successor.

Michael Fassbender does GQ

May 15, 2012 8:12 PM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Actors, Magazines Tagged With: ,

Oh gosh, I love me some Michael Fassbender (just like my friends over at Cele|bitchy), the Irish / German hottie is featured on the June 2012 cover of GQ magazine. There’s something so damn sexy about him, I seriously can’t wait to see him in the upcoming Ridley Scott film Prometheus! Check out Mr. Fassbender below and make sure to head to the magazine’s website for even more hotness!

After two decades of obscurity, all it took was a few choice roles for Michael Fassbender to get noticed—a Nazi infiltrator here, an X-Men villain there, plus one unforgettable turn in Shame that made him a full-frontal phenomenon. Fassbender’s rapid rise to fame will continue this June with the release of Ridley Scott’s new film, Prometheus. He reveals to GQ correspondent Chris Heath his modest yet dedicated approach to his craft: “I was pretty average at most things. I was just looking for something that I could relate to and perhaps excel in myself.” And while his on-screen presence is one worth marveling at, even Fassbender himself recognizes how sexualized his image has become. Thankfully, he does not try to combat his association with his Shame character, and he embraces this persona for a sex-charged GQ photo shoot.

ABC has a new fall schedule too!

May 15, 2012 2:52 PM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Television Tagged With:

Yes, here’s another fall TV schedule, this time from ABC. Which means more shows about washed-up stars dancing for your entertainment! And also, Modern Family, which is basically the network’s meal ticket at this point. From The A/V Club:

Mondays
8 p.m.: Dancing With The Stars (performance)
10 p.m.: Castle

Mondays in January
8 p.m.: The Bachelor
10 p.m.: Castle

Tuesdays
8 p.m.: Dancing With The Stars (results)
9 p.m.: Happy Endings
9:30 p.m.: Don’t Trust The B—- In Apartment 23
10 p.m.: Private Practice

Tuesdays in January
8 p.m.: How To Live With Your Parents (For The Rest Of Your Life)
8:30 p.m.: The Family Tools
9-11 p.m.: Same as fall

Wednesdays
8 p.m.: The Middle
8:30 p.m.: Suburgatory
9 p.m.: Modern Family
9:30 p.m.: The Neighbors
10 p.m.: Nashville

Thursdays

9 p.m.: Revenge
10 p.m.: 666 Park Avenue

While the premise of 666 Park Avenue seems intriguing (it sounds more or less like American Horror Story, which was just an absolute gem) The Neighbors just sounds awful. I’m sorry, but moving into a neighborhood full of wacky aliens? Really? Didn’t we get all this out of our system with Alf and Mork & Mindy? Gag. That being said, if you’re not watching Suburgatory, now would be an excellent time to start, as it’s surpassed the pilot episode awkwardness and transformed into one hell of a solid show.

Florence + The Machine gets with ‘Snow White’

May 15, 2012 1:44 PM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Film, Music Video Tagged With: ,

Earlier this year, we got Mirror, Mirror, the version of Snow White where Julia Roberts tried, and failed, to carry an English accent for an entire movie. If that’s just not your cup of tea (or you’re not eight-years-old), then maybe the darker Snow White and the Huntsman (in theaters on June 1st) with Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart is more your thing. And if you’re still not convinced, Florence + The Machine have a tie-in single called Breath of Life for the soundtrack, and it’s kind of amazing. Also, the video features lots of Aussie Chris Hemsworth, which is always a good thing.

Mindy Kaling in ‘The Mindy Project’

May 15, 2012 11:54 AM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Actresses Tagged With: ,

It confuses me how Mindy Kaling hasn’t had her own sitcom up until now. She’s been a supporting actress (and writer) on The Office for a while now, consistently being one of the funniest parts of show, but it’s only recently that she’s been given the go ahead to lead her own show. So here’s the trailer for The Mindy Project, which will be joining FOX‘s other quirky girl comedy, New Girl, on Tuesdays this fall. I have some high hopes for it too, as unlike New Girl, Mindy actually plays someone that could conceivably exist in real life. And thank heavens for that. I loved New Girl, but after a while, it just irritated me how far removed from reality Zooey Deschanel‘s character was. So yes, I’m looking forward to this one.
