A combination of 2 college nicknames that is too complicated and boring to go into. Nevertheless, consider me a mid-late 30's guy with a strange sense of the world. Part music and media junkie, part computer geek, part Dad and husband, part freak.

Earlier I posted a link to the website for Gondry’s new movie “Be Kind Rewind”… The plot: Movies get erased and these guys have to recreate the flicks to get by(well that’s the shortest synopsis I could come up with… I’m sure there’s more to it…). Anyway, Michel Gondry has now taken the trailer and “Sweded” it! Genius!
This new flick looks pretty hilarious. I’m a huge fan of anything Michele Gondry has done, and Jack Black and Mos Def a usually consistently great in whatever they’ve been in. The website has some cool stuff going on so check that out. Basically, the “internet” gets erased (much like the “movies” in the film, and the website is a nice flash recreation of google and some supporting links… Check out lots of trailers for all the ‘remade’ or ’sweded’ films by Black & Def here…
Anyone who has a daughter between the ages of like 5 and 15 probably had to do the same, and that is take their kid to see the Hannah Montana 3D Concert movie. I had really wanted to see this new 3D technology, and of course, might have preferred a better choice of viewing. Overall though, it was pretty cool. The 3D that is (well that and the fact that my daughter and all her friends had a blast…and it was a heck of a lot cheaper than the concert tickets for the real show a few months back…). Things were clear as day and none of the snafu’s of the old red/blue 3D technology. The audio mix was weird (her voice was pretty buried in the mix of the music), and since Hannah Montana is on at my house 24/7, I knew most of the songs (yipee!). There was a preview for a 3D adventure movie that looked really interesting and I know James cameron has something on the horizon so hopefully this Digital 3D will take off, cuz it’s pretty excellent… On the flip side, this is another example of Disney marketing genius (The “One Week Only” tag to get parents to scramble for sold out viewings… only to then release the movie for ‘extended viewing’ after the first week grosses a ton of cash…).
Blatently posted across the You Tube main page, but funny nevertheless… This is a promo video for Will Ferrell’s upcoming movie “Semi-Pro”. Trailer looks good and this video has some funny clips as well…
