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.

What’s going on? And the Cool Stuff for June 1st through June 14th

X-MEN : FIRST CLASS

So not much going on, I saw my friend Brian last week that I used to play Ultima Online with and we used to run the Pacific Roleplaying Community.  We hadn’t seen each other since I visited him 7 years ago, unfortunately it was only for a couple hours but it was great being able to hang out and talk, I missed that.  By the way he needs up update his blog, he’s a slacker.  I X-Men First Class a couple days ago and have officially declared it the best X-Men movie ever, it wasn’t perfect but it was a very solid 9, the two main actors were perfect for their roles and I really liked the story.  Last weekend we saw Super 8 and it was great as well, I have said this before and I will continue to say this, J.J. Abrams can do no wrong, he is the best in the business.  Other than that I am still working on finished a new smoker that I’m hoping to use for our 4th of July party,  I should have it finished tonight.  Our tomatoes are starting to ripen, and the peppers are starting to look great.  Not much else new here but I know some people appreciate it when share more than links.  Looking forward to Green Lantern but I don’t think it will be able to live up the how good XMFC was.

And now onto the cool stuff.

These are the cool things I found around the web for June 1st through June 14th:

  • 2D Glasses – NOT 3d glasses! I might need to get these.

This video with Leonard Nimoy is pure awesome!

    Cool Stuff for February 11th through February 18th

    These are the cool things I found around the web for February 11th through February 18th:

    Weekly Cool Links #22 : The $499 Millennium Falcon!

    Hey it’s that time again!  The links of the world, link or rama, link a dink a ding dong.  Yeah that wasn’t really funny.  So the last couple weeks were pretty busy.  On February 14th, my parents celebrates their 40th wedding anniversary, and impressive accomplishment in todays world.  Both Kelly’s parents and mine, are great role models to have.  Talking about Kelly and I, we celebrated Valentine’s day with dinner at Mr. Stox in Anaheim and then a night time trip to Disneyland.  Dinner was really good, I had their blue crab cakes and Kelly had the filet of steak.  This weekend we are going to our friend Sean and Amber’s for their daughters 1st birthday party, we haven’t seen them for awhile so that should be fun.  So that’s the update, now on to the links!  Oh wait one last thing, CONGRATS TO DREW BREES!

    Food Stuff
    For Super Bowl we had a small party with our parents coming over to watch the game with us, I wanted to try and cook buffalo wings, but wasn’t at all in the mood for frying them up, I found this awesome recipe two days before the game for cooking up crunchy buffalo like wings in the oven from Serious Eats, you owe it to yourself to cook them this way!  I also found this cool site that reviews all the interesting snack foods out there called Taquitos.net, they have everything from national brands to regional favorites.  Lastly if you are the type of person that is interested in trying your hand at brewing your own beer check out this quick blurb on Lifehacker about two free open source programs that will help you with your goal.

    Music Stuff
    I haven’t had much music stuff lately, but I had to share this awesome project that Michael Deal is working on that is a graphical exploration into the Beatles and the creation of their music.  This is a project and any true Beatles fan will want to check out.

    Sad Stuff
    For those that don’t know the Mars rover Spirit is stuck and can no longer move, so they have pretty much pulled the plug on the project, xkcd has a sad comic to show us that rovers have feelings too.

    Funny Stuff
    If you are a friend of mine on Facebook you might have already seen this, but if not, check out this graphic on How to Suck at Facebook.   I’m proud to say I don’t do any of those things listed, so I must not suck.  If you saw the Google commercial during the Super Bowl (which was my favorite ad) you saw a clever use of their auto complete feature, the site Autocomplete Me turns the auto complete feature into a interesting look at what people search for on Google.

    The Lego Millennium Falcon!

    The Lego Millennium Falcon!

    Cool Stuff
    I just found this today but I wanted to pass it on, someone has taken the initiative to educate today’s men on what they need in their wardrobe, with Newbie Fashion Tips for Grown Men.  It really is a good group of tips and suggestions on how to look your best.  Wardrobe Oxygen takes it a step further, but I have to disagree with some their what to remove from your wardrobe section.  I’ve been wanting to get some Lego sets recently to put together for fun and I was checking out the online Lego store, they have a $499 Star Wars Millennium Falcon, a little more than I want to spend (it is 5000+ pieces though)…  I’ve seen a couple places recently selling recycled bottles that have had their tops cut off so you can use them as glasses, here is someone that decided they could just make them instead.  Check out this great article on the 19 Most Complex and Dangerous road in the world, I’ve seen some of these on Top Gear, the Road of Death in Bolivia looks like a bitch.  If you know me you know that Kelly and I met online, so I find the research that OkCupid is doing on their dating site is extraordinary, they recently wrote an article about profile pictures, and I highly suggest anyone that is doing any sort of online dating read their articles, they will help you make a better personal ad.  Example, Men: don’t make eye contact and don’t smile, Women: make eye contact and a flirty face.  And the last of the cool stuff, this blog post regarding the changes to the Crayola color spectrum throughout the years.

    Not Cool Sports Stuff
    The Chicago Cubs have thought up an complete asshole plan, they are going to charge a 20% premium on those that purchase tickets the 1st week they are on sale, and then after that they will be the normal face value.  Talk about scalping your customers.  I hope we don’t see this become a trend.  (edit, this is nothing new they have been doing it for 8 years.)

    Cool Videos
    Some geeks have figured out an awesome use for Microsoft’s surface, Dungeons and Dragons!

    D&D on the Microsoft Surface from CrunchGear on Vimeo.

    Hot Tub Time Machine will be the movie event of the year!

    Someone has edited all the violence from the 2010 Super Bowl commercials into one epic Youtube video.

    And last but not least does this sound familiar?

    Weekly Cool Links #20 I Slept With Tiger Too!

    I have a terrible secret to share…  I slept with Tiger Woods!  Oh wait, no I didn’t.  So how about that Tiger Woods?  He had himself a big stable of women throughout the country, if not world that he was banging as he pleased, while he had a beautiful model at home as well.  Talk about a slimeball, oh well I guess I won’t be rooting him on any longer.  But look at the bright side, I have a bunch of Chicks links this week!

    For those of you that didn’t see the pictures I posted 2 weeks ago, we put up our Christmas lights, we also got our tree decorated (pictures will be posted at the end of the month).  The past couple weeks we have been taking care of our Christmas shopping and also prepping the house for the first of what will be many Christmas parties our house will be the host of.  This Sunday is my dad’s side of the family’s Christmas party, we should have about 20-30 relatives in attendance.  And then on Christmas day we will have a party for my mom’s side of the family, which will be a bit smaller but will also include Kelly’s family (actually both parties will include Kelly’s family) and any friends that want to come over.  Work is winding down for the year as goals have been met and projects have been completed, I’m happy to say I still have a job that I enjoy although this year was a lot different from the previous two years due to the lack of new hires our department had to train.  Kelly’s business is doing well, although we did have a decrease in business compared to 2008, but we are in good standing.  All the animals are happy and healthy and we are all looking forward to the new year.  I’m proud of myself for keeping up with my Weekly Cool Links project, even though it’s not quite as ‘weekly’ as it claims to be, I hope someone out there finds some entertainment in me sharing what I find interesting.  Lastly my Eat in OC project has been doing great, I typically have around 5000 visits a month and I’ve made some major inroads with gaining new readers.  I’ve been linked to on a number of local websites, and high-profile local blogs, and in addition my articles are routinely linked to in the Orange County Register’s Community Blogs section which is only 5 links deep from their front page, how many others can say something like that?  I’ll probably post one more time before the year ends, but for now let’s move on to the rather large links section!

    Food
    Lifehacker had a great article on maximizing Thanksgiving leftovers that will also prove useful with Christmas leftovers.  While over at Slashfood they had 4 fast recipes for making great Tomato sauces.

    Tiger Woods’ Women, er I mean Chicks
    Some of these links may not be safe for work, or family friendly.  But this is my blog so if you don’t want to see possibly scantily clad women don’t look at the links in this section.  If you are related to me and offended, oh well, I’m sure you have something else you can be proud of me for, get over it… ;)
    Twitter is a wonderful tool for communication and for people to share pictures with, some pictures are more interesting than others as you can see from this collection of Hot Chicks that use Twitter for the powers of good.  I do not approve or disapprove of their use of Twitter…  Maybe Twitter chicks aren’t your thing?  How about Chicks dressed in various NFL Team Jerseys?  What’s that?  You like farm girls?  How about German farm girls that model to help German agriculture?  Here you go.  Personally I like my girls a little different from the norm.  Lastly there is the Internet’s Girlfriend…  Funny how I’ve been on the internet for 15 years yet hadn’t heard of her till recently.  One suggestion for her site, more pictures like this and less like the one on the top of her website…

    Sports
    lingerie-bowl-pics-teamIt got so bad at Notre Dame this year that after they fired Charlie Weis they went straight to the big man in the sky and offered him the head coaching job.  The Onion reports that Jesus Christ himself turned down a 3 year multimillion dollar offer to coach the Fightin’ Irish.  Maybe he was just holding out for the right job?  Such as this Head Coaching position with the Lingerie Football League!

    Cool
    Virgin Galactic has launched their official site for the space travel, complete with Spaceship Two pictures and information on the roll out.  Never would have thought space travel (even of this kind) would be available to the general public in my lifetime.  Lifehacker had a number of cool informative posts the past couple weeks, including Fixing Your Relatives Computer, Guide to Avoiding Online Scams, and the Most Popular Top 10s’ of 2009.

    Funny
    I read three comics online; Order of the Stick, Dilbert, and xkcd.  I’m particularly fond on one of the Dilbert comics from this week, because it’s how I feel at my job sometimes.
    75993.strip.printAnother one from this week that really hits the mark is this one regarding the use of FAX machines.  As for xkcd I have to give some love to ‘Daylight Saving Time‘.  Looking for a last-minute gift for a friend or loved one?  How about, How to Date a White Woman or the Gangsta Rap Coloring Book?  All these and more really do exist!  If you are single and looking for a Russian Mail Order bride one of the companies involved has started to compare them to celebrities!  Now you too can date a girl that sort of looks like Jessica Beil!  Just make sure you ask them these 10 questions from Deadspin before you ask her to marry you, it will save you a lot of heartache.  And lastly, now that you got your celebrity look a like wife, it might be a good time to reflect upon those stupid things you did when you were young and might regret someday

    Videos
    My website is currently sponsored by Bitch Slap The Movie!, in theaters: January 8th, 2010!

    If you know anything about the movie, commercial, or TV show business you might find some humor in this.

    I love reading Maximum PC and listing to their podcast, I love this video someone put together from Gordon’s rant of the week regarding the Apple Tablet.

    And last but not least at all, the Space Shuttle is awesome and this high quality video of the STS-129 launch is worth spending 15 minutes to watch.

    Oh and Merry Christmas!
