Everyone thinks that the Easter Bunny is all lovable and spends his day paints eggs and hiding candy. Well wake up kids – The Easter Bunny hates you:
In an attempt to show his real colors, we’ve collected a series of pictures that exemplify his true nature…
Happy Easter.
I’m a big Transformers fan. Loved the 80’s cartoons, the animated movie, the comic books, and the first Movie. The second movie was a terrible monstrosity, and I was confident the third movie Dark of the Moon wasn’t going to suck, but after seeing the first trailer I’m not so sure. It kind of reminded me of the alien invasion from the movie Skyline… and that’s not good because that movie sucked six cans of shark shit.
The only glimmer of hope I now have is that Shockwave is one of the main villains of this movie. He was always entertaining in the cartoon and comics; he was the Decepticon in charge on Cybertron while the others fought the Autobots on Earth.
Even more good news is that there is finally a picture of him in the form of a promotional banner for Dark of the Moon. He looks pretty true to the animated version, but being slightly Bay-ified too. Check out the banner below:
This banner is just a teaser before the next trailer premieres on April 28th – next week. Let’s hope the trailer doesn’t disappoint too much. Then again the Revenge of the Fallen trailer didn’t and look what happened with that movie.
Rubber wont be to everyone’s taste. Words like ‘weird’ and ‘stupid’ will be used against it. Understandable really, considering it is a film about a psychic killer tire, but not an assessment I would necessary agree with. Weird without a doubt – although absurd is better – but definitely not stupid. It’s just that you have to look a little deeper.
This isn’t really a horror film as such, it’s more of a black comedy. Sure there are no belly laughs, and there is definitely violence, death and gore, but it is the absurdness of it all that is more noticeable.
The basic plot is not extraordinary, in fact – if the central protagonist was a human instead of a tire it could be a fairly standard slasher/loner psycho film. The fact that it is a tire is one of the things that raises it above the ordinary. There is something else that helps it too, but I’ll come to that later.
The name of the tire is Robert – a name that is only on screen in the end credits – and he is a confused and angry individual, pushed into a world he does not understand. This truth actually comes across surprisingly well. Robert – who does not talk or make any sound, and has not a face – is the deepest character in the film. You can actually feel the emotion coming off him, although you probably wont sympathize with him too much.
The other characters, whilst not flat, are not quite as rounded (no pun intended, but I like it). This is not really surprising as it is Roberts ‘birth’ in the dessert, through his wild killing spree, to the, inevitable, final confrontation that drives the film, leaving little place for character development.
This film is, however, deeper than just a confused outsider trying to find his place in the world. This is just the central reality in the movie.
Just outside of Robert’s reality is another one where spectators watch. This film has it’s own built in audience, which some of the characters in the internal film are aware of. This adds another layer of absurdness to it all, resulting in some truly surreal moments. For instance the opening scene – which is quite beautiful in it’s surrealism – that includes a monologue about the amount of ‘no reason’ in films and real life. It’s this ‘no reason’ that drives the film along.
As well as all this the film looks gorgeous. The California dessert setting is used well, and gives the proceedings another worldliness. Some of the cinematography is stunning. The special effects – all of which are analogue, no digital – are quite impressive as well. The acting is of a high standard and played straight. The music is also good and doesn’t overpower the images. Plus it has a plot that goes somewhere.
Some people will still claim it’s weird rubbish. I, on the other hand, think it is a brilliant film.
If you only see one ‘psychic killer tire’ film this year make it this one.
5/5.
By A Game of Thrones, I mean the show in its entirety, assuming after the already renewed second season they finish the rest. There are some scenes in the books by Martin that are just downright shocking and made me want to cry, laugh and punch a wall. Sometimes all at once. Most but not all include deaths and events that I just did not see coming. I IMPLORE those of you who haven’t read the books, to go no further in reading this article, unless MAJOR spoilers don’t bother you at all. I really wish I hadn’t read the books because the series would be shocking me left and right. And now for all you faithful readers who can’t wait to see most of these scenes on-screen, let’s take a look at my picks. I didn’t put them in order because I can’t decide which ones are better than the other because they are all soooo good.
*Once again… SPOILERS*
The Phillie Phanatic is your mascot of the year, according to a survey done by Forbes. The news came just one day before the Phanatic’s 33rd Birthday celebration as he supplanted the San Diego Chicken for the title.
Well in honor of this prestigious award, might I present Christian Bale to congratulate you Mr. Phanatic:
I hate the Phanatic, because honestly – I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE F–K HE IS!
What does a big green fuzzy dude have to do with Philadelphia? A better question is why am I getting upset about this? Should I care what the Philly Phanatic is, or that he was mascot of the year?
Answer: Hell no!
But it is a really good excuse to post up some pictures of some of the worst and funny mascots around out there.
I don’t know what this little orange bastard is doing but it frightens me. No one wants the shocker, but if I had to take one for the team then it certainly wouldn’t be from this fella. I’m surprised the university took this so well…
Seems like a valiant effort, but too many people have complained about how he might look like a penis, with testicles and all. Then you have the geriatrics who say it looks like an elderly guy in a wheelchair. Better luck next time Columbus.
Someone with an apparent fetish for muscles designed this mascot. This is the mid-90’s version of Bolt Man so they’ve moved on to bigger and better things. Personally I think they’d have been better of with a Mega Man boss.
Do I honestly have to say anything? Their mascot is a friggin’ scrotum!
He’s obviously a pepper, but from where I don’t know. And his costume is such an epic fail that I had no ambition to research it.
Despite the child abuse going on here, Donald Duck is being true to his character mostly being a piss pot.
So I’ve been doing a lot of Batman reading. And a lot of it happens to be written by Grant Morrison, who a lot of people love and a lot of people hate. I just previously reviewed Batman and Robin Volume 1, which is basically the adventures of the newest Batman: Dick Grayson and his sidekick Robin: Now the young, and mouthy Damian Wayne. I loved that trade even when I hadn’t yet seen when Damian Wayne first showed up on the scene. But now I finally am after reading Batman and Son.
