Superbad Table Read. You’re Welcome.
March 7, 2012 1 Comment
Here’s a video of the table read of the Superbad script. The language is absolutely NSFW, so if you’re listening, make sure to use headphones. It’s pretty foul. They decided not to do a lot of this stuff (namely the extremely graphic sexual talk) and changed Helen to Becca. Fogle is still the one with the best lines.
Assassin’s Creed 3.

If you know me at all, you know the Assassin’s Creed franchise is my baby. It’s the thing I hold near and dear to my heart, and become very protective of when people badmouth it. Did I love AC: Revelations? Not really, no. It seemed as if they sort of mailed in the performance and added a few things (the hookblade, bombs). Now we learn the reason: the team responsible for Assassin’s Creed 2, one of — if not the — best game I’ve ever played, has been working on AC3 for the better part of the past three years.
AC: Brotherhood and AC: Revelations were put into production because everyone demanded it. The popularity of AC2 surpassed all expectations, and gamers fell in love with Ezio. So, wanting to capitalize monetarily on their previous success, Ubisoft churned out two side stories that weren’t sequels to the main game, but rather add-ons. Think of them as large DLCs.
With the reveal trailer, cover art, stills, and other stuff being debuted across the world wide web, disciples of the Creed are losing their shit. And I’m one of ‘em.
You are no longer Ezio, and while that’s a little sad, it’s nice to know you’ve moved on and are going to become emotionally attached to a new assassin. You’re a Native American who has taken the English name of Connor during the Revolutionary War. You wield a motherfucking Tomahawk, and you can use your parkour in the forest. Since the bread and butter of AC is the verticality of the city-scapes, the forest will have to play a rather large part. There will still be cities with buildings to climb, but I believe a lot of the game takes place in the forest and surrounding wilderness. Which… yeah. So fucking awesome. It’s going to be like Assassin’s Creed meets Red Dead Redemption. And my mind will asplode.
The guys at GameSpot do a great job at breaking down the reveal trailer. It’s also hilarious because they’re British. So… you’re the bad guys. The dudes at NowGamer have screen shots, too. Anyway, if you’re not excited for this, you don’t have a god damned pulse. October 31st can’t come soon enough.
MOVIE REVIEW: 50/50.
February 12, 2012 Leave a comment
When I first heard Seth Rogen and his cronies were making a comedy about cancer, it made me feel really uncomfortable. Cancer is an extremely personal thing to almost everyone, and it is no laughing matter. You’d be hard pressed to find a person today who hasn’t been affected by cancer, be it a family member, friend, co-worker, etc. Then I heard it was written by a guy who actually had cancer, and it was starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. JGL is one of my favorite actors on the planet, so at the very least, I was really intrigued to where they might take this. 50/50 is billed as a comedy, and it has plenty of humorous situations, but I’d classify it as more of a dramedy than anything else. And a great one, at that.
JGL plays Adam, a normal dude who lives in Seattle (yay!) and works at a radio station. He complains of back problems for a while and then visits a doctor. His back problems turn out to be a tumor attached to his spine. The process Adam goes through in recovery is typical for cancer patients, but he seems to be the only one ok with his situation. Everyone around him — his best friend Kyle (Rogen), his girlfriend Rachel (Bryce Dallas Howard), his crazy, over-protective mother (Angelica Huston) — have their own ways of attempting to coddle him and tell him everything will be ok. The only person who quasi understands what he’s feeling is his young therapist, Katherine (Anna Kendrick). Katherine is a student still working on her doctorate, and they both grow and learn about how to deal with this situation together. Her insecurities about her age and experience, as well as youthful awkwardness, are a bit of fresh air when you consider Hollywood usually makes therapists smug, articulate, assholes.
50/50 attempts to make people aware that cancer patients are still people, too. Far too often, someone with cancer is labeled as having cancer instead of just another human being who is struggling with something. This movie wants you to understand people with cancer still want to be told to fuck off, they still want to have random sex, they still want to be treated like normal, bald human beings. It also reminds us that, holy shit, cancer fucking sucks and is absolutely horrifying.
You laugh. You cry (a lot). You get angry. You smile. You go through a wide range of emotions during this movie, and at the end, you just fall in love with it. 50/50 is simply fantastic, and a movie you’ll very much enjoy.
Rent, Buy, or Avoid:
Buy. We rented it via Netflix, and after the movie ended, I went on Amazon and bought it. Absolutely buy this movie.
Overall rating:
9.5 out of 10.

aaaand boner.
Plus, when the hell did they get Edward Norton?? Holy fucking fuck, this movie may rival The Dark Knight Rises in terms of ass kickery. Not joking. Jeremy Renner might be my favorite actor in Hollywood right now. I can’t breathe.
