This afternoon we caught a matinee of Iron Man. Oh my gah, it was so good. Jon Favreau did a stellar job, and Robert Downey Jr. is the motherflipping HOTNESS, you have no idea. And Fishsticks didn’t even annoy me. Go see it. Try to spot Peter “Ralphie” Billingsley in a cameo. And stick around for the credits.
Discuss in the comments - obviously SPOILERS abound.
I want to give some props to our friend Sara, who has started a film series in her (and the geekboy’s) hometown of Lambertville, NJ. You can see a free movie every Saturday night, and in the summer it moves to an outdoor venue. May’s schedule looks particularly fun — check it out here. If you’re local, sign up for the mailing list.
And donations are always welcome.
Here’s a video of the cast and crew of Reaper lip-syncing to Public Enemy’s “Can’t Truss It.” Totally random and totally awesome. Read the rest of this entry »
OMG this news makes me so happy! I just told somebody the other day that I couldn’t wait for Amy Poehler to get pregnant. I have no idea why. I can’t wait to see her do Amber preggers. JELLUS?
On Saturday I had a conversation with Charlie and the geekboy about my love for Wes Anderson, spurred on by re-watching The Darjeeling Limited last week, and repeated viewings of The Royal Tenenbaums on cable over the past month. About his visuals and his music and how his films are just so saturated with beauty. How sometimes a single scene can squeeze your heart until you almost can’t breathe (Richie Tenenbaum’s shaving scene, the funeral in Darjeeling). Searching around on YouTube, I found these.

So, the NYC Comic-Con was pretty fun. It had its problems (Saturday’s panels were ridiculously crowded and woefully unorganized) but we did enjoy ourselves and saw a lot of stuff and bought a lot of crap and all that. We grabbed some extra swag and once I get everything organized, I’ll be giving it away here on freakgirl.com. The geekboy’s recap is here.
A few photos after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
Seriously. Actually…I can see it.
Guess where we’re going tomorrow and Saturday? We have press passes this year, which makes navigating the clusterf*ck a lot easier. I’ll be bringing my camera and I’m hoping to have a lot of good stories for you on Monday. Anyone else going?
It’s my second-favorite geek’s birthday! Read the rest of this entry »
A re-imagining of the opening credits for Lost, if it were like any other television show. [via]
Artie walks off the Stern show after physically lashing out at his assistant. I was telling the geekboy earlier that I’m increasingly uncomfortable listening to Howard Stern lately, as Artie Lange gets more and more depressed, unhealthy and angry. It’s not funny and it’s not fun. Blarg.
I don’t have much to talk about this morning. Here’s one thing, though. Beth and I went out to dinner last night (mmmm, Cuban) and afterwards dropped by a local bar to grab an after-dinner beer. As we chatted, we noticed American Idol on the television sets. I don’t really follow AI, so I have no idea about anything. But I just have to comment…Jordan Castro confuses me. We must be getting old, because our initial reaction was, “Is that a boy or a girl?” Ugh, the hair. Every time I see dreadlocks I wonder what they must smell like.
Some video from this past weekend’s Saturday Night Live with Christopher Walken as host. Read the rest of this entry »
Why, for the past several years, have I been under the incorrect assumption that Joss Whedon is gay?
I thought Britney did a decent job on last night’s How I Met Your Mother. The episode as a whole wasn’t the funniest they’ve ever done, but the storyline was sweet and I thought Britney played the dorky receptionist just fine. She even made me laugh out loud once or twice.
Even though he’s been absent from Hollywood for years, John Hughes’ influence remains. [via]
Did you see this week’s episode of South Park about Britney Spears? Genius, tragic and spot-on. Watch it here.
Joss Whedon. Neil Patrick Harris. Nathan Fillion. A musical.
