Seven Psychopaths Trailer

From the director of In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths is a new crime comedy about a group of dognappers who steal a Shih-Tzu from a crime lord. It sounds like a goofy indie comedy, right? Well it looks like one, too. I’m sold just on the cast alone: Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken, Tom Waits, and Colin Farrell. Looks like a lot of fun. Check it out (from Machinima).

Bat-narrator, Pinky, R2DWalken, and Bubbles Vader

This is absolute brilliance. Recently, at Emerald City Comic Con, a cast of famous voice actors performed a reading of Star Wars as their various characters and impersonations. Make sure to clear an hour from your schedule to be able to watch the whole thing.

This was definitely a lot of fun. The cast is made of Billy West (Stimpy, Fry from Futurama), Joe DiMaggio (Bender, Adam Fenix), Tara Strong (Bubbles, Timmy Turner), Maurice LaMarche (Brain, Wakko’s burping), Kevin Conroy (Batman, ’nuff said), Rob Paulsen (Pinky, Raphael from 80s TMNT) and Jess Harnell (Wakko, Captain Hero). So many characters I know and love acting the film that has defined my childhood. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

DVR Weekly: 5-21-12

Life can get pretty busy, so the invention of the Digital Video Recorder, aka DVR, has been a godsend for those of us who love television programming. Well, I’m one of those people. In this weekly article, I’m going to talk about some of the shows I am keeping up with on my DVR. Pretty straight forward, right? Well let’s get started.

Sorry about the lateness of this post. The Sherlock special post will be coming up this weekend.

Community – Eps. 3.20-22 “Digital Estate Planning”, “The First Chang Dynasty”, “Introduction to Finality”

These were some amazing episodes. An 8-bit episode where we get “Troy and Abed spitting lava!” “The First Chang Dynasty” rounds out the over-arcing story of Chang’s takeover. It was a great homage to Heist movies specifically Ocean’s Eleven. And finally “Introduction to Finality” wraps up the season nicely. We get some resolution on the Evil Abed thread and Troy’s destiny in the Air Conditioning School. This episode definitely had an interesting sense of “finality”. On one hand, the question of cancellation loomed over head while writing this episode, but on the other, the fact that Dan Harmon will be leaving raises the question of how well the show can do without him.

Young Justice – Ep. 2.04 “Salvage”

In this episode, we find out where the other three missing members from five years ago have gone. Wally/Kid Flash has retired to settle down with Artemis. I thought it interesting that Wally is benched at a time that he is missing in the DCnU. We also found out that Roy is on the hunt for the original Speedy. There is an intervention of sorts featuring Wally, Dick, Green Arrow, Black Canary, and the Guardian. The parallels between Roy’s unwavering focus and Speedy’s drug addiction in the comics are apparent, but very well done. We also learn that Cheshire and Roy have had Lian. If this show doesn’t make you nostalgic for the old DCU, you haven’t been reading comics long.

Short list this week so I can focus on Sherlock.

I’ll see you all next week… same DVR channel… same DVR time…
