And the nominees are in!

They really hit the nail on the head with this year worst picture nominees!

Vampires Suck
Eclipse
Sex & the City 2
The Last Airbender
The Bounty Hunter


While I have no seen Vampires Suck or Bounty Hunter, I am assured they both suck(although I feel like in the case of Vampires Suck, it was more like done on purpose) I can definitely vouch for the crappiness of the other films.

Sex in the City 2 was the most Americentric crap I have seen in ages. It's trite, it's insensitive, it's offensive and IT'S NOT FUNNY. I'm not even a fan of the franchise and I really enjoyed the first movie. The second seems to be like the worst episode they ever made with the bigger budget and less graphic sex scenes.

The Last Airbender is so bad there are only 3 things that happen. Some one has a big explanatory speech, some one says "We have to go ___" and that is followed by a big fight scene. They then do the same thing over and over again until the film ends.
The problem with this film is they thought they were so cool, no one would notice how bad the story was. Well guess what, when you treat audiences like they are stupid they figure it out and get pissed! Also the cast should have been a mix of many races (as they are in the comics) instead of the white guys = good guys, non white guys = bad guys, like in this film. Critics accusing this film of "whitewashing" are not wrong. I wonder what Shyamalan was thinking, letting this casting go through. And for someone who usually has a nack for complex scripts this one seems to have been written by a monkey who signed Shyamalans name.

As for Eclipse lets just say the only way I was able to sit through this movie was by playing a drinking game against Taylor Lautners abs (ie everything he was shirtless I would drink). Needless to say I lost horribly and was so drunk I had to be helped out of the theater. My condolences got to the people who are working on the film who actually have talent (ie Melissa Rosenberg, screenwriter), I hope the paycheck was worth it.
I also love that they have a category solely for sequels, prequels and remakes as well as a new category for worse use of 3D.

Any other films you think should have been nominated? Think any of this actors will pull Sandra's or Halle's and actually show up to accept their awards?

This just reeks of mass coverup!

"The birds died from blunt force trauma. After their deaths, they were gathered up and sent to the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Employees there found bruises on their bodies and not much else. The lab was not impressed with the timing of the event, since its researchers analyze as many as 500 mass die-offs per year. The fact that the birds showed bruises, that they were the only species that was part of the die-off, and the timing determined the death.

Scott Wright, the chief of disease investigations explains, that firecrackers would have set the birds out at night, flying blind."

"It's believed that the noise startled them-they are poor night fliers-and they were in close proximity to neighborhoods, and they flew into homes and cars. They died of impact force to their bodies."

I'm totally call their bullshit on this one
You just watch, this is totally the apocalypse, with this and all the dead fish, all we need next is a river of blood and a plague of locust. It'll be all out chaos by the end of July.

All I can think of is WWMD (What would Mulder do) and all I can come up with is... ask Scully

New Being Human Trailer

Wicked trailers like this just make me resent remakes even more. Why are they remaking this show in the Us when the original is still on the air. Apparently people I know who have auditioned for the show seem to indicate that everything will be pretty similar. *Sigh* My new life goal is to create some original content.

Mind you I still haven't finished series 2... I should get on that

Also can we talk about Cat Stevens being the sound track for this!?!? Random

The Lawless Internet takes another hit

A Swedish appellate court late today (Friday) upheld the convictions of three operators of the Pirate Bay website, Frederik Neij, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström for what was called “contributory copyright infringement” and sentenced them to prison and ordered them to pay damages of more than $6.5 million. In its ruling, the court said, “The Pirate Bay has facilitated illegal file-sharing in a way that results in criminal liability for those who run the service.
For the three defendants the court of appeal believes it is proven that they participated in these activities in different ways and to varying degrees.” The court reserved the harshest sentence for co-founder Neij, who was ordered to spend 10 months in jail. Sunde, the Pirate Bay’s spokesman, who resigned in 2009 after the lower court’s verdict, was sentenced to eight months in prison. Receiving the lightest prison sentence — four months — was Carl Lundström, a wealthy businessman who financed the ISP that hosted The Pirate Bay. Although all three were ordered to pay total damages of $6.5 million, only Lundström, it would seem, has the means to pay any of it — and will probably wind up paying all of it. Following the verdict, the Motion Picture Association (MPA), which represents the major studios overseas, issued a statement saying that it welcomed it and added, “This confirms that such activities are illegal and if you engage in them, you run the risk of very significant consequences.”

Being poor and illegal on the internet is getting harder and harder. I really hope they are putting as much effort in squashing kiddy porn as the are making sure I don't download episodes of Fringe.

Hectic Week

Last night officially wrapped up one of the more nutso weeks in my recent history. Work + Volunteering @ the Cinemania Film festival and trying to have a social life (Mumford and Sons concert + Friends + being interviewed for the Concordian) had left me tired and with and extremely sore back (which is actually getting me worried because it wont go away) so today is a chill day


Cinemania Montreal

Cinemania was awesome! Alot of early mornings (followed by late nights at the resto and then more early mornings) were kind of a killer, but they allowed me to really connect with the event organizers who were all super awesome ladies. I also allowed me to see a bunch of free films ( La Reine des Pommes (2/5), Bazar (3/5) Tout ce qui Brille (3/5) Sommeil Blanc (2/5), L'Enfance du Mal (3/5), Dumas (3/5), Illegal (4/5) and Potiche (4/5)) all in french with English subtitles. Having never volunteered at a film festival before I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my experience. I'm told not all festivals are as well presented and I totally believe it. i am therefore excited to volunteer again and total wary of it at the same time.




Next on the docket was the Mumford concert. As usual they were amazingly breath taking.
Super big props as well to their opening acts this time around, King Charles and Cadillac Sky.

Caddilac was alot of fun but I cant seem to find them online, and King Charles was actually kind of amazing



He played the entire set by himself with just a guitar, except for the opening song which he did accapella and it actually stopped my heart and made me do a double take while in line for coat check.

But unfortunate by the time Mumford came on the same problem arose as last time: the crowd SUCKED! I don't know what is wrong with people these days but they lack any kind of concert etiquette. Drunks yelling, girls squealing, people interrupting the band. it was so frakin' annoying.

Also the show lasted 3 and a half hours! Which was awesome yet very exhausting.

So good week, glad it's over, back to applying for jobs.

This just shit the bed

Only Queens of Noise is mildly okay, but thats all it is ... mild, weak, uninspired.
I can't believe how seriously they've dropped the ball with this one, the film is going to have to be out of this world to save the train wreck that are these songs. And even that is unlikely, how can you have a movie about a band without good music.
