2010 Movies update
http://www.datarave.net/zfh/2010/01/01/2010-movies-i-want-to-see/
Daybreakers – Didn’t see it. Reason: reviews were poor
Book of Eli – Didn’t see it. Reason: Stephanie saw the preview and said it looked like a Post-Apocalyptic Roadhouse (and I don’t like Patrick Swayze movies)
Legion – Didn’t see it. Reason: Life interfered with seeing it while it was in the theatres (only 3 weeks till [...]
Roxio Creator 2010 & Tivo
http://roxiocentral.roxio.com/enu/offers/emc/default_tivo.aspx?tla=sonic_tivo
For a limited time, Tivo users get a $30 discount on both Roxio Creator and Roxio Creator Pro. Still trying to decide if I want to buy it myself, and if so, which version.
Of course, along the way, I decided to play around with my Tivo Desktop (for the first time since I upgraded to [...]
Review: Daybreakers
Hollywood’s burgeoning library of vampire flicks gets a bloody new addition this week with Daybreakers, a grisly horror-thriller that adds a dystopian twist to the increasingly well-worn bloodsucker mythos. If Twilight is the Romeo and Juliet of the vampire genre, Daybreakers hopes to be its Children of Men. But hope, as they say, is not [...]
Avatar Screenplay
While this screenplay does not match the movie exactly (I’ve read through a half dozen scenes already) it is pretty close and was probably the original screenplay written prior to the start of filming, the thing that struck me as most interesting was the fact that a 152 page screenplay script is the basis for [...]

Avatar, week 2
Avatar raked in another successful box office weekend (Christmas weekend), bringing in $75.6 million (source: Box Office Mojo),”down only 2% from it’s opening weekend.” It was responsible for the most succesful Christmas weekend on record (same article). According to the Box Office Mojo summary page for Avatar, it sold $77 million in tickets during it’s opening weekend. [...]
Avatar
Steven Spielberg was quoted as saying that this “the most evocative and amazing science-fiction movie since Star Wars,” and while I have to be honest and say it isn’t in my top 3 all-time favorite movies, it does make the top 5 as #4 (after I get it on DVD and watch it at home, [...]
Monty Python vs YouTube pirates
Monty Python has a great plan to stop YouTube pirates of their copyrighted work. How do they plan to prevent piracy of their material you ask? By joining the pirates in distributing that material via YouTube. After all, if they’re distributing high quality material on YouTube for free, then all the other pirates out there [...]
South Park vs George Lucas and Steven Spielberg
South Park seems to have taken on my two least favorite celebrities in the world of Hollywood and done it with style (that is, if you think South Park is stylish. 89% of the time, I don’t.) The Los Angeles Times online posted an article on one of it’s blogs commenting on the South Park [...]
Fight Club infiltrates Disney
In a series of acts of vandalism that would make Tyler Durden proud, Disney has had a number of mature themes introduced to their films (even those films that were only “recently” brought to home theatre format in the 1990s). To the best of my knowledge, there hasn’t been any controversies in any of the [...]
