Far Out kid going nuts over GTA IV lol.
Last week of classes and “Grand Theft Auto IV” comes out tonight at midnight!
Just want to clarify because I’ve had two friends ask me about “Scarlet.” It’s not a TV series, it’s a series of TVs made by LG. If it was a TV show, the commercials would not air on all the major networks, just the ones that have ties with the channel it’s airing on. It’s a big viral marketing stunt for TV’s that has really mislead a lot of people.
Admit it. You do too (except for the final season after Amy-P left).
I’m just not excited about this.
Del Toro’s moving to New Zealand for the next four years to work with Jackson and his Wingnut and WETA production teams. He’ll direct the two films back to back, with the sequel which will deal with the 60-year period between “The Hobbit” and “The Fellowship of the Ring,” the first of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
Partially because I think the whole “sequel” is complete bullshit. It’s like what Warner Bros is doing to “Harry Potter.” It’s about adding an extra movie to make more money. There is no story or character driven reason to have these additional movies
Over 9 million people voted in FHM’s Sexiest Woman poll leading to the following top 1o:
- 1. Megan Fox
- 2. Jessica Biel
- 3. Jessica Alba
- 4. Elisha Cuthbert
- 5. Scarlett Johansson
- 6. Emmanuelle Chriqui
- 7. Hilary Duff
- 8. Tricia Helfer
- 9. Blake Lively
- 10. Kate Beckinsale
Of that list, I can only agree that MAYBE two of the girls deserve to be on it.
NASA has shared some night photos of the earth taken back in 2003 to show how “bright” the globe has become. Tokyo, the U.S. East Coast, the major cities of the U. K. and Ireland, Tokyo, the Loop in Chicago, and the brightly-lit docks of Long Beach, CA are among the bright spot. But NASA awards the dubious distinction of the Brightest Spot on Earth to the Las Vegas Strip (that’s Vegas in the pic above).
There is a project in NYC to turn hydrant no-parking zones into mini parks. It seems like an interesting concept and if it works (meaning the plants don’t just die) then it might be a green-thing I support.
NoPark returns “no parking zones”—mostly those associated fire hydrant placement- -to low growth mosses and grasses. These micro engineered green spaces prevent storm water run off, use foliage to stabilize the soil, and to provide a durable low maintenance surface cover. These microparks continue to provide emergency parking space for fire trucks and exasperated Fresh-direct delivery persons.
So there was a weird light in the sky last night right around 9p.m. I envisioned aliens or some some apocalyptic event, but turns out it was an Iridium Flare, which is a sunflare from a satellite in orbit.
The Iridium communication satellites have a peculiar shape with three polished door-sized antennas, 120 degrees apart and at 40 degree angles with the main bus. The forward mirror faces the direction in which the satellite is travelling. Occasionally an antenna will directly reflect sunlight down to the Earth, creating a predictable and quickly moving illuminated spot of about 10 km diameter. To an observer this looks like an extremely bright flare in the sky with a duration of a couple of seconds or longer.
Just a reminder that “Lost” is back tonight! Wooo Hooo!
The un-toon guy took a stab at Jessica Rabbit. Personally, I don’t find this even half as interesting as his take on Mario and Homer Simpson.
“Watchmen” is holding a contest that could earn you a cameo in the final film. What they want is for people to make a commercial for Veidt Enterprise and to upload it here (there are also logos and graphics).
To get started, download the standard definition and/or high definition assets from the links below, and then shoot your own original TV commercial that advertises one of the products! Remember, the movie is set in 1985, so TV commercials should be in 4:3 aspect ratio (so it looks like standard TV, not widescreen) and they should be either 15, 30 or 60 seconds in length. The products are all made by “Veidt Enterprises,” and you can download the product logos for your use as well.
So I already posted a few weeks about about which character on “Gossip Girl” is coming out gay. I know know HOW they are coming out. Check in after the break to find out. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
