Upcoming Movies 2012

Just a list and trailers for reference on movies I’m interested in possibly seeing.

Haywire
Seems like the female version of Borne / Transporter

Iron Sky
A Nazi base on the dark side of the moon that attacks Earth in the near future?! Not sure if this is a CG or real action.


wait it’s a comedy? WTF? Sort of Mars Attacks / Starship Troopers like.

Goon
I actually happened to like Sean William Scott… Plus it has other actors I like in it.

Rock of the Ages
A rock musical (opera) inluding lots of J80′s music. Should be entertaining.

Tim and Eric’s Billiong Bollar Movie
I guess this already came out. It’s pretty weird looking but could be quite funny…

The Amazing Spider Man
I don’t know if I want to invest new time in this. But I will probably eventually see it.

The Cabin in the Woods
I’ve already mentioned this one on Facebook. Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon is an automatic watch for me.

Wanderlust
Paul Rudd loses his job. And him and his wife try to figure out what to do. I think this is out today.

Salmon Fishing in Yemen
Who doesn’t want to fish in the middle of no where?

The Bourne Legary
No more Jason Bourne? Looks promising though. I still need to see the 3rd one though.

Hunger Games
I’ve never read the book but this looks pretty cool.

Jeff, Who Lives at Home
Written and Directed by one of the guys from The League. Andy and Marshall are in it!

Columbus Circle
I think Kelly will be interested in this one. Looks good has actors I like.

Check out this great photo album of actors and their roles

Internet Blackout Day on January 18

Powered by Dan will be joining thousands of other websites around the United States and the world in protest against Senate Bill 968: the Protect IP Act also known as SOPA. If this bill is passed it will jeopardize internet freedom and shift the power of the independent web into the hands of corporations. We must stop it.

On January 18, 2012 many sites around the web — from small personal blogs to internet institutions like Mozilla,Wikipediareddit, and I Can Has Cheezburger? – will be going dark in protest and to drive their visitors to sites like americancensorship.org to take action and help fight the passage of the Protect IP Act. So will WordPress.org.

If you want to join the protest by blacking out your WordPress site or applying a ribbon, there is now a variety of blackout plugins in the WordPress.org plugins directory. While joining the protest in this manner is laudable, please don’t forget to also make those phone calls to U.S. Senators — they’re the ones with the voting power.

Blackout the Internet on January 18th to prevent it from being blacked out by Corporations.

Bad Year for Dictators…

Happy Alex Smith Day!

Wow the Niners have been good. Heck I think this might even be one of the first times I have talked about the 49ers on my blog. At 7-1 I think I can start saying I’m impressed with how well the team has done. We still have some obvious issues but the team defense is very good while the offense has been more than adequate to get the team to 7-1 half way through the season.

So with that I’ll post this awesome picture from the 49er PR department for 11-11-11.

We are the 1%

I don’t know who to credit this to, but this graphic puts things in perspective. Sure things aren’t great, and yes things need to change but claiming to be the 99% when we are WELL off compared to many others in the world is petty.

We are not the 99%

We are not the 99%

If people would focus more on themselves rather than things we’d be in a lot better place. People want and desire too many material items which places them in debt to those that they are organizing against. Just because you spent over $100,000 on your education doesn’t mean you are entitled to a well paying job. Learn a trade and actually do something that will be a life long skill, school is great but when times are tough hands on skills are what will get you by.
