The Dude’s High 5s: The Movies of Tony Scott
As many of you know, Tony Scott recently passed away. I figured I’d throw this High 5 out in tribute to him and his work. Before we get started I do want to say that I am not a Tony Scott fan. I know going into his movies that I am going to get his editing style, his aerial views, and his grainy footage. Despite my distaste for his cinematography, the man always entertained me. So here we go, hit the jump for the highway to the danger zone.

Preview: ‘ALL-NEW X-MEN’ #1 artwork by Stuart Immonen. So hot.
I hate the fact that the only way I’m going to enjoy Jean Grey in my Marvel universe is through some wormhole time-bending bullshit. I do. However, I can’t stunt. I’m going to buy this, for Red. And for Stuart Immonen’s gorgeous artwork.
Daniel Day-Lewis continues to crush it as Honest Abe in poster for Spielberg’s ‘LINCOLN’
Shiiit, Daniel Day-Lewis is continuing to look phenomenal in his depiction of Abraham Lincoln. If nothing else, I imagine this movie will be a must-see for his performance alone.
Sam Claflin cast as Finnick Odair in ‘HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE.’ Everyone swoon or rage.
The sort of casting that sends nerds of a certain proclivity into either ecstasy or angst has taken place. Some dude from movies I haven’t seen has been cast in a pretty important role in the second Hunger Games flick.
‘WIPEOUT’ developer Psygnosis is closed for good. MORE CHILDHOOD DEATH.
Fuck, yo. Not a day after I find out that Nintendo Power has head its throat meet blade, news drizzles out that Sony has pulled the rip-cord on developer Psygnosis. Them sons and daughters a bitches were responsible for many an hour of Wipeout back on the day.
‘NINTENDO POWER’ is cancelled, more of my childhood perishes.
Nintendo Power has bit the bullet, after years of defying the need for good content and legitimate journalism. Even though I won’t miss the son of a bitch, I will miss the son of a bitch. Wait, what?
‘STAR WARS’ goes spaghetti westerns in these delicious posters.
Timothy Anderson brings the heat, mixing Star Wars with the glory of spaghetti westerns in this set of posters.
Brian Wood ain’t done with Viking tales even though ‘NORTHLANDERS’ is over. Praise Thor.
Northlanders getting axed was a kick to my he-clit. Not the sort of lovely one that follows me being tied up by my Jennifer Lawrence clone, and prior to the candle wax on my nipples. An unsolicited one. It is good news for me then, that Brian Wood intends on continuing Viking stories after the first Universe ended.
Monday Morning Commute: BROCK AT THE MOON.
What’s up, friends. It is Powered by Caffeine here. Rendar can’t come tonight. He’s in the woods with a couple of other friends, howling six-word odes dedicated to Hemingway. Prior to uttering these supplications to Lieutenant Shotgun Suicide, they strip down to their underwear and chest-chop each other while telling one another how fucking masculine it is to take five fingers off the sternum. It is not until their pectoral muscles are bright red and they’re wheezing that they bark at the moon. It is an annual late summer festival, and I dare not come between him and such a spectacle. So here I sit, grinding away on the Mothership per usual. This here is Monday Morning Commute, the column where we give the rundown on the various arts and crafts we’re enjoying on a given week.
Billionaire invests in the development of 3D PRINTED MEAT. WUT. The future is good.
Christ in a can, this is mind boggling. A billionaire dreamer wizard-guy has invested in the development of 3D printed meat. Every day we march closer towards Transmetropolitan and Neuromancer, and I can’t wait to don my mohawk and leather slicker. You know, while eating synthesized buffalo or some shit.
