Following the cut are all the film trailers that aired during the Super Bowl in the order that they aired. There’s also one game trailer, since it was the only one I decided to put it in with the films.

Music Monday – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On February - 8 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

It’s that time again. This weeks album is Dig! Lazarus Dig! by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.  This album is really great. The first track is so catchy and infectious. You’ll be singing it or humming the tune later on for sure. Music player under the cut.

Video of the Week!! – Shutter Island

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On February - 8 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

This weeks Video of the Week is Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and looks freaking CRAZY. They obviously changed the release date from October of last year. It is now February 19th of this year. I don’t really know what to say about it other than it’s based on a novel.  The trailer should interest you enough.

The other video I’m going to feature is The Ghost Writer, the latest movie from Roman Polanski. It opens the same day as Shutter Island and looks like another thriller worthy of your time.

Webcomic of the Week – Surviving the World

Posted by Dillon St. Jean On February - 6 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Not all webcomics are drawings of cheap shots taken at video games.  Some of them aren’t even drawings at all.  Some of them are photographs of blackboards and a guy in a lab coat.  Dante Shepherd’s Surviving the World gives the reader advice on important things that will permit them to keep on going in life.  He throws on his coat and Red Sox cap and does his best to ensure that we’re paying close attention to the things that are most vital in the world.  I mean, when you stop to think that someone would take the time to keep us up on key knowledge like this, we should definitely take the time to give his comic a look.

Weekend Wonderer – MST3K

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On February - 6 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Wondering what to do this weekend other than watch the Super Bowl Sunday night? How about a little Mystery Science Theater 3000? Yes, the hilarious show where Joel or Mike watch terrible B-movies with their robot pals Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo only to make jokes about them the whole time.  There’s a pretty good amount of the show streaming instantly on Netflix. So, if you took my advice from last week, went crazy watching Lost, and now don’t know what to do , check MST3K out. Video sample under the cut.

If you’re into the type of humor they have to offer check out Rifftrax.com, it’s Mike and the guys who voice Crow and Tom Servo ripping on current movies. You can buy the audio track and sync it to a DVD you already own.

Shows That Aren’t Lost: Supernatural

Posted by Dillon St. Jean On February - 5 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Seriously, let’s not forget that there’s other stuff going on.  24 is back.  Smallville is still… just… awful.  Also, this is the final season of Supernatural, the show about two brothers fighting demons and monsters across the country.  Frankly I’m much more interested in how Supernatural is going to end, because it doesn’t confuse the holy hell out of me.  Hell, Supernatural, defying all odds due to being on the CW, has some of the best writing I’ve seen on television for a sci-fi show.  Despite having so many episodes that appear at first glance to be filler stories, they all manage to apply to and further the plot of the season.  Now we’re watching the lead up to the big battle between Michael and Lucifer, assuming Sam and Dean allow the fight to take place.

Sci-Friday – Smallville

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On February - 5 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Smallville – I’ve personally never seen Smallville, so i can’t really vouch for whether it’s a good show or not.  Apparently Dillon hates it. However, tonight at 8 will be the two hour episode Absolute Justice written by DC comics own Geoff Johns. Again it airs at 8PM EST tonight on the CW.

Caprica -  The third episode of the Battlestar Galactica prequel airs tonight at 9PM EST on SyFy.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – The episode Voyage of Temptation airs tonight at 9PM EST on Cartoon Network. It involves Obi Wan encountering a woman he had a romantic past with. I remember them talking about this episode during the Star Wars panel at ComicCon.

Mighty Boosh – Yeah, this is a Brit comedy show, but this episode has a talking gorilla. It’s on Cartoon Network at 1AM EST.

Jack Bauer is Boring Me Lately

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On February - 3 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

That’s a line I never thought I would say, but season eight of 24 just hasn’t really gripped me like it has before.  In a show that features mostly ridiculous plot points you expect them to ratchet up the action and not rely on their storytelling ‘abilities’. Just a few years ago this show began with a former president being assassinated and an airport takeover, in the same episode! I know last year it took a while to build up and it got better, but I just can’t bank on that right now. There will be spoilers under the cut.

Music Video of the Week!! – Amon Tobin

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On February - 3 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

I originally wanted to post “Surfing on a Rocket” by Air, but apparently EMI doesn’t allow embedding of videos with music they own in them. Way to hate promotion and exposure of your artists guys.

That’s not to say I don’t love the music of Amon Tobin, because I do. I’ve been a fan of his for quite a long time.  Under the cut is the video for “Four Ton Mantis”, off of his album Supermodified. It’s pretty weird and might not be safe for work because there are people creepily hanging around in their underwear in the video.
