i just dropped a bagel with cream cheese face-down on my shorts. thats like, super. but its fine…im not dedicating a whole post to how theres cream cheese on my shorts now. that would just be too much excitement for one days post.

GUY DYAS
ign has a coo (and extensive) on-set tour of the brothers grimm by the production designer guy dyas. he takes you thru some of the conceptuals, set designs, production designs, etc…so its pretty coo. its a long read, so enjoy. the movie comes out august 26th.

POTTER=PG-13
and on a random sidenote, theyve just announced that harry potter and the goblet of fire will be rated pg-13. wooha…good news. that means they dont have to spare editing for the kiddies.

RENT
for the rent fans, quicktime has a new music video up for the rent theme song seasons of love. go catchy broadway musical soundtracks. ive admittedly never seen the musical (im not much of a broadway-goer), but im a little curious as to how the movie came out.

BROTHERS GRIMM
hmm, im wondering why i didnt pay closer attention to the upcoming movie the brothers grimm. not only is it directed by the crazy python terry gilliam, but it looks pretty damn coo. meh, i mustve been distracted…or lethargic…or something. anyhoo, ign has new pics from the movie…some pretty rockin’ pics of the brothers grimm (matt damon and heath ledger) and the hot mirror queen (monica bellucci). and if you also havent already seen it, go check out the trailer.

ADDENDUM
quicky addition, just because the trailers that damn good. a new firefly: serenity trailers out, and its pretty damn hot. the show got pooped on too fast (so fast i only caught like what…one episode?), so the movies like a grand prize passing as a consolation prize. word…check it out.

ADVENT CHILDREN
lessee lessee…right. theres a new trailer out for final fantasy vii: advent children, and it still looks as coo as ever. its been a pretty long time since this things been in development. theyre sure taking their fucking time with it!!! but its supposed to be out soon. like, er…sometime after today. bah, not like i wouldnt pick it up anyhoo the second it comes out.

SHUPER-MAN
aicn posted a link to a site full of superman returns pictures. looks pretty coo. there are alot of pics of parker poseys character, kitty…and a couple of kevin spacey as the main man himself, lex luthor. word. there are other pics too of things and stuff…yea.

VOLTRON

TRANSFORMERS
movie news…word. because there will always be movies to distract us from life. lets see…first up is an interesting promo reel they had at the comic-con for the (potentially) upcoming transformers movie. it starts with grown adults geeking over their transformers childhood (fair enough…i was there), then it moves onto steven spielberg talking about the movie, along with some test clips of transformers doing their thing. woo. the movie qualitys not that hot, and mine went poot about 3/4ths of the way thru, but it was coo nonetheless. hopefully a better version will hit the net eventually. oh, and this should come as no surprise at this point, but spielbergs a closet transformers fanboy. i mean, c’mon…growing up in the 80s (wait…thats a little past spielbergs time…) you either played with barbies and my little ponys if you were a girl, or g.i. joes and transformers if you were a guy. i destroyed plenty of transformers and launched plenty of g.i. joes with fireworks…which im sure would all have been worth a small fortune right now if i hadnt destroyed the aforementioned toys. *shrug*

V
no, not the crazy parakeet-eating lizard men from the 80s…alan moores v for vendetta. the new trailers out, and its pretty coo. any movie that convinces natalie portman to shave her head has to be that good. i mean, itd better be, or it might be charged with crimes against humanity for making someone as beautiful as natalie portman shave her head. *shakes fists*.

see, i knew this would happen. i sign onto flickr, and i get another website that distracts me from updating elysium (which i kinda already do), or my main site (ditto), or makes me too lazy to update this one. *sigh* as if i werent too lazy already. im sure the noob factor will wear off shortly. in the meantime, back to randomness.

AEON FLUX
aicn has a coo q&a from comic-con with the cast of aeon flux. they showed clips, talked about the casting, effects, scenes, etc. sounds pretty coo. someone even asked straight-up why martin csokas was cast as trevor goodchild instead of johnny lee miller (whos in the movie also and plays his brother oren). csokas was on the panel btw. another wholly important question asked was in regards to the costumes, which went something like this:

“Theron replied, to the dismay of 80% of the crowd, that the outfits would be much less revealing. “Certain things must be hidden.” Crowd, “Awwwww…” Theron says her character is not shy sexually, but just not as butt-ass naked all the time as the original animation. The butt-ass naked part was my elaboration, but she did say she was still very sexual.“

sigh…seriously, we dont mind seeing charlize theron wearing dental floss. i would have no objections.

SMURFS
and in other news, theyre making a smurfs movie. yea, wtf.

a post NOT about eating…woo. tho ill sneak in the fact that we ate ourselves stupid last nite at kang suh in k-town. yea…too much grubbage. mins having last nites din for lunch. anyhoo, aicn has a super-early preview screening review of harry potter and the goblet of fire. the movies still 4 months away, so the reviewed movie was an early rough cut, missing alot of the cg. but even without the fx, the reviewer capone could see that the movie was going to shine. azkaban may still be the most stylistic of the potter movies, but goblet may turn out to be the most refined and mature of the series. woo, cant wait.

> the goblet of fire rough cut review (via aicn)

i never did get a chance to see troy when it first hit the movie theaters. so i finally got a chance to watch it last nite on hbo. yea, it wasnt that good. and thats movie minutes with halo. join us again next week for half-assed reviews written in under…lessee…a minute! word.
