Friends… I have failed you. I have been watching and enjoying this trailer for about 2 weeks now and just realized I never posted it. I was just so excited… and now… I am so sorry. If you haven’t seen it yet… I envy you a little. If you have seen it… I can almost guarantee you’ll watch it again anyway.
If you have no idea what “Kick Ass” is then GET THE HELL OFF MY SITE!!!! It’s only one of the most under-rated surprise hits out there… duh!!! It’s not ooey-gooey kid-friendly comic book lore, nor is it dark and overly-plot thickened either. It’s a damn-good all around smashing, stabbing, shooting, kicking and torching action packed awsomefest. No powers, just people in suits hurting people not in suits (and a lot of the other-way-around too).
Enjoy the Red Band Trailer (i.e. cussing) of Kick Ass 2!
Back in October we told you about the upcoming release of “Carrie“… a remake of Stephen King’s classic flic (and 1st published novel) along with a teaser trailer. (Catch up here - First “Carrie” Remake Trailer)
Now the peeps at MGM & Screen Gems have dropped a full-blown trailer in our laps to froth at the mouth over. If you know the story then, obviously, this won’t be much of a spoiler… but if you don’t know it, then you’re in for a treat. (SideNote… I feel like it must be said that this trailer pretty much sums up the entire movie for you in advance. Of course there will be fun twists and turns, but the bulk of the movie is all laid out those of you who don’t already know it.) Either way… enjoy!
First off, thank goodness it wasn’t a Facebook phone announcement. If you are buying a phone based off of Facebook you might have a serious problem. But the big announcement today was Facebook “Home”, and will be a family of apps that centers around a users social connections.
Light of details, Facebook teamed with android because, Google makes its software available to anyone who wants to design something cool (suck it Apple). “Home” is basically a launcher that will be available on April 12th from Google Play. The experience, is designed to tie the users social network and previously downloaded apps together. Not sure really why this is needed, but let’s just go with it.
Full review will come after we get our hands on it next week. Should be interesting.
A funny cartoon to remind you of the days of yore (a whole 10ish yrs ago)… thanks for the creativity and mad art skills to John Atkinson at wronghands1. He’s a funny guy worth checking out!
In an official release by NBC (after loooooooots of speculation) it official; Leno is off to tool around in his garage and Fallon will be the new head cheese at NBC late-night. Super stoked for Jimmy… but I just can’t write this article without at least mentioning the fact that I feel Conan got royally f’ed on this whole thing. I mean seriously Leno… you couldn’t have just retired a few years sooner and let the world bask in the hilarity that is Conan?
Oh well… we love Jimmy (and the Roots) too and are happy to see him on-air an hour earlier.
Here’s the release:
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – April 3, 2012 – Jay Leno, longtime host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” announced today that he will wrap up what will be 22 years of headlining the iconic late-night show in Spring 2014. NBC also announced today that Jimmy Fallon, now host of NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” will transition into new hosting duties on “The Tonight Show” franchise after Leno concludes his successful run.
As part of the transition, “The Tonight Show” will be returning to its original home in 30 Rock in New York and will be executive-produced by Emmy Award winner Lorne Michaels (“Saturday Night Live,” “30 Rock”).
Programming plans for the 12:35 a.m. (ET) time period currently are in development and will be announced soon.
Said Leno: “Congratulations Jimmy. I hope you’re as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you’re the old guy. If you need me, I’ll be at the garage.”
Said Fallon: “I’m really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow.”
“Jay Leno is an entertainment icon, making millions of people laugh every weeknight for more than 20 years,” said Steve Burke, Chief Executive Officer of NBCUniversal. “His long reign as the highest-rated late-night host is a testament to his work ethic and dedication to his viewers and to NBC.
In case you missed it on the season finale of the Walking Dead on Sunday, a new trailer for Star Trek: Into Darkness dropped. Assuming you have gotten over the whole, J.J. Abrams can’t direct Star Trek and Star Wars drama over the last few months, this movie actually looks to be a decent followup to the first.
Our writer Dr Dave did something pretty amazing this year and I have to share!!!
He had a dream… a dream of a faster, stronger, leaner and all-around more amazing Dr Dave. He did his research, worked hard and not only made his dream a reality… he mastered it! Dr. Dave won 1st place, in his age-group, at the 2013 National Masters Heptathlon. Dudes… 1ST PLACE!!!! He ran faster, jumped further & higher and pole vaulted higher than all of the other mofo’s out there. He, my good friends, is a true inspiration to ANYONE who ever thought they wanted to either revamp an old skill and excel or pick up something new and take it to the next level.
Seriously… let’s look at this another way. Dr Dave is in his early 40′s (yeah… shocker!!!) and had a dream of being his absolute best in track n’ field, like he used to be in college. Instead of doing what most of us do and simply reminiscing about days of yore… he got his ass out on the track… dug deep for inspiration… and brought himself back to the best athlete he could be. How amazing is that!?!?!?! What did you do in High School and College? Play guitar… act… sing… run? Do you find yourself dreaming of those days and how amazing and fun they were? Why can’t you do that again? Answer: you can!!!
Don’t believe me? Dr Dave, a regular beer drinking, movie watching, All-American dad of 3 with a full-time job and very supportive wife. He dresses up for Halloween, watches college football, drinks coffee every morning and takes his kids to gymnastics… he is a regular guy, not a whole lot different from you and I. The big difference though… instead of sitting on his ass every night watching some mindless sitcom, or yet another movie in the mail from Netflix… he lifted weights (in a home gym that he built… meaning he didn’t spend tons of money on equipment either). When he dropped his kids off at sports practice he spent time running instead of sitting around sipping coffee and being bored. He took all of that aimless idle time we have and turned it into action. And now… National Master Champion!!!
While I can’t run… there are things that I wish were better in my life. A few pounds of less flab… a few more pounds of muscle… want to learn how to play the guitar… and I’d love to start painting again. And why the hell not? Is 30 the end of our life when it comes to trying? How about 35? Dr Dave is in his 40′s and he didn’t quietly go into the night. Nay, he raged against the seemingly downtrodden slow-road to senior citizenhood and flipped that clock around. He HIGH JUMPED 5-11.25ft… I’m 5-11.50… HE PRACTICALLY HIGH JUMPED OVER ME!!!! In his 40′s!!!
Dr Dave is truly an inspiration for us all. If you’d like to follow his training or progress then you absolutely need to check out his blog Sprint 42. There he outlines some of the skills he used to get back into peak shape, a few of the tools he found to make the progress a little easier and who he finds as great inspiration to keep on trucking.
Thank you for being the example we all need Dr Dave!!!
