Is the Ark of the Covenant Really Buried on a Small Canadian Island?

MTT'n

Wrath of the Titans

2nd trailer better than the first..second movie better than the first?

The Raid

Asian action film like crazy

4:44 Last Day on Earth

So many end-of-the-world movies these days

American Reunion

No it's not just to post a raunchy teen (now "adult") comedy for raunchy teen comedy's sake. Little fact...this movie's original, along with Gladiator, I would identify as the two defining movies that launched my writing career. Obviously Gladiator for different reasons, but American Pie because of how it was a major catalyst for my personal "enlightenment" period to my peer culture, college life, how badly young women are mistreated by guys, and the fallen, lost world I lived in.

Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope

Never a huge Comic-Con fan, but I definitely can appreciate all this.

Struck by Lightning

Oh I don't know...I never watch Glee. Though secretly in retrospect I do wish I was involved in some writing groups or journalism whilst in high school. Guess being in sports all the time didn't really allow for that jock/journalism crossover :/

Beyond The Black Rainbow

WTH is right. Though I do dig the "2001: A Space Odyssey" vibe.

Bonus #1:

Brave

Fun clip from new Pixar movie!

D.C. Sports Fans vs. Philly Sports Fans

         As a simultaneous lifetime resident of Northern Virginia and fan of Philadelphia professional sports team, I uniquely have the ability to accurately distinguish between the typical D.C. fan and Philly fan.  Thom Loverro’s article below merely manifests currently and practically this disconnect, but deep down I know it’s more an issue of priorities. 

Thom Loverro: Fight with Philadelphia is not one the Nationals can win

                 You see, in Philly, the Eagles, the Flyers, the Phils, and, to a lesser extent, the Sixers, are the priority.  In D.C., only the Redskins (I will concede this…yes, D.C. folk love their Redskins still) are the priority.  D.C.-ites would like to claim that the Caps are the priority now, but for every 10 current Caps fans I can show you 7 of them who didn’t even know Jaromir Jagr was once a Cap, let alone Michael Pivonka and Liut.  The Bullets?  Ha!  The Nationals?  Just see above link.

                But you know, it’s not all D.C. folks’ faults.  As a D.C. folk myself, I realize that there are much bigger fish to fry in this area than underperforming professional sports teams.  For one there’s the whole political spectrum, which everyone in and around D.C. is invariably directly, or pseudo-directly involved in.  That and educational and vocational pursuits rule the Beltway lands.  We’re a bunch of overachieving, goal-seeking, educationally inundated folks.  This is a far cry from a large portion of blue-collar Philly fan demographic.

                But as Mr. Loverro succinctly describes in his article above…Philly fans are of a different breed.  They live and breathe their teams.  In D.C., fans are passionate, but only when convenient (or when success forces attention).  As long as it doesn’t conflict with another iPhone appointment (apart from the Redskins), D.C. fans are there to support their teams.

Movie Trailer Thursday

I know no one really comes to this site anymore, but posting movie trailers and writing the occasional EbbWorld-ish article (when I have time) is somehow therapeutic. Sort of reminding me of the halcyon days, when everything was going to be alright and work itself out.

Headhunters

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

Could be funny

Arnold Schwarzenegger DVD Commentary = Hilarious Greatness

    So these mash-ups have been around for a while, but they’re new to me…but Arnold Schwarzenegger’s commentary is absolutely hilarious.  Being a huge fan of Total Recall and Conan the Barbarian (TV versions of course) and 80’s science fiction & fantasy in general, it makes it even more amazing.  I honestly thought at first this was all a joke, or someone was mimicking Arnold’s voice as a joke video.  But no, this is the real deal.  Absolute movie magic. 

I miss the DVD’s extras…you don’t get that in streaming.

Total Recall
