Oscar Impressions

This year I wasn't expecting much from the Academy this year�and watched the show in order to mock it. Much to my surprise I did not mind the awards that much this year. Everything seemed deserved in terms of awards and I only had one issue. Well two,�I was expecting it to be funnier. My main complaint was that�in the montage of celebrating movies Twlight was a clip in there, and Justin beiber cameo

Muppets To Present At Oscar's.

This year just gets weirder and weirder. Actually I rather like this decision to have Ms. Piggy and Kermit the Frog. Well I would if it didn't stem from guilt. Apparently there was a short lived campaign to have the duo actually host, but that died out quickly. To appease the fans the duo will present an award. Most likely the Best Animated Feature Award. Lord knows we can't show any respect to neit

Cirque de Soleil To Perform at Oscars.

Man they must really want people to watch this year. Considering every year more and more people are realizing that the Academy doesn't exactly base their choices on quality. Apparently it's to the point where they appealed to Cirque to have a performance for all of 3 minutes. Well they better make a damn good impression if it's that short. Then again they are weird enough so I don't think leaving an i

If you haven't heard by now, America's current (but already fading) heartthrob Justin Bieber was witnessed flipping off excited fans at Disneyland on Valentines Day. Not to drag the issue on because according to certain websites, someone close to Bieber has already stated that Bieber is sorry for the incident which in my opinion is basically admitting guilt. But the uproar over the incident really got

Last time I checked, in America we have the privilege of choosing what we do with our lives. It�s something that is bred into our brains as children especially when it comes to career paths. �You can be anything you want� is the mantra of most American parents and teachers. Discover what you love to do and make a career out of it. It wouldn�t make sense for someone afraid of flying to become a pilot. P

Oh geez, where to start? Well I'll the get factual things out of the way first.� Guillermo Del Torro is directing and they want Emma Watson to play the lead. Yeah the guy who directed Pan's Labyrinth wants Hermione Granger to play Belle. Well, they're both bookish characters I'll give him that.Oh wait, that's the characterization of the heroine in the version that already exists made by Disney. You kn

Might as well talk about it today, it's a guarenteed topic so I'm going to take advantage of it.� Now for some February 14th is not considered Valentine's Day. For some, myself included�a few years ago, Feb. 14th was known as Single's Awareness Day (SAD).

A Better Life

It's no secret that times are tough. Jobs are scarce. Personal debt across the country is high. People are using more government aid then they have in a long time (e.g. Welfare, Unemployment, Section 8, WIC) to help pay the bills or feed the kids. We've even seen more people using government programs to go back to school in hopes of broadening their lives so they can take on new career paths...

Lucas Makes Statements on Star Wars Edits.

Oh boy, here it comes folks. For those of you not of nerd mentality this may be hard to understand. Last time I made mention of taking old films and editing them for re-release with CG or 3D. If done right it can be great, but most of the time doesn't work. Disney has shown its prowess in this regard, George Lucas on the other hand fails tremendously. Ever since the special editions came out peop

When this matter was discussed before I could only give an uninformed outside perspective. Now, after seeing a movie in 3D, I am in a better position to talk about it and be more creditable. The reason I bring this whole thing up? Well because the Phantom Menace is back in theaters. My reaction when I first heard? Obvious jokes aside I am displeased for other reasons, but I shall list them all.

Daniel Radcliffe Miffed By Oscars.

Oh boy it's Oscar season, here I go again. Well to be fair I'll address the news aspect of this first. Radcliffe, of Harry Potter fame, is not pleased with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2� not even being considered for best picture. I agree that the Harry Potter films are quite good and need recognition, but the Oscar's are a snob-fest plain and simple. Their opinions shouldn't be so sho

Well this is embarrassing. Well the Huffington Post got it wrong first I consider myself the victim here. All joking aside Lambert cleared up the misunderstanding via Twitter. Saying that "silly reporters" jumped at any news and the opportunity to use his quotes. Embarrassing as it is to admit I am guilty too.

Neil Patrick Harras, he hasn't come up in any of these yet has he? Well frankly I take no issue with the guy so perhaps that's a good thing. Why mention him now then? Well news is news. If you can call it that anyway. Apparently rumor got out that NPH would replace Ryan Seacrest as the host of American Idol. Harris went on record this week debunking that claim. His main focus is still "How I Met You

Oh Nicki Minaj, how I have waited to unleash some fury regarding you.� Rap sensation Minaj has a bit of a nickname in my circle of friends. We all lovingly refer to her as "Ghetto Gaga". Or the longer version that I like to use: Ghetto Gaga, but with absolutely no talent. Now before things get out of hand here no I don't call her that because of her ethnicity. I call her that because she has abso

Hunger Games Cast Dismisses Twilight Comparisons

About time some YOUNG actors started complaining about Twilight in public. Unlike cowards like me who only do it anonymously in the internet. With how the new series Hunger Games is a franchise based in the young adult fiction section comparisons are inevitable.� Although I think that's the wrong way to go about it. Comparisons mean nothing unless you look at the contrasts as well. Yes well all k
