Arnold is cooler than the other side of the pillow in this one.

Side note: Last Action Hero was written by Shane Black, the man helming Iron Man 3. There’s nothing he can’t do.

For most people, Friday’s just the day before the weekend. But after this Friday, the neighborhood will never be the same.

I’m not certain why this kid didn’t get a 100. I hope the “see me after class” is to give the motherfucker a high-five in person.

Today’s pick is the song at the end of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. I recently revisited this movie, which I haven’t seen in about 18 years when it was on Comedy Central every day. It still holds up.

Hey guys. By now I hope you’ve all seen Drive Angry and given Nic Cage some much needed money. After having such high hopes, I was less than impressed with it. For someone who thinks 3D is corny, I thought the 3D in Drive Angry is the main reason to see it in theaters. It was really well done. But other than that, meh.

Another slow news week in the Cage universe. Now that Drive Angry is behind us, I’m so ready for the Ghost Rider 2 hype to hit full throttle. Some words from Cage on that sequel/reimagining below. Also a pretty girl has joined the cast of Simon West’s Medallion. Thank god!

Malin Akerman Joins the Cast of Medallion

Con Air director Simon West’s Taken-ish thriller Medallion has found its leading lady in the moderately attractive Malin Akerman. She’s been on Entourage and was the Silk Spectre in some movie called Watchmen. Malin is playing a crook and former lover of Cage who aids him in recovering his daughter from the back of a medallion taxi cab. I hope Cage kisses her. (via /Film)

[DEFEAT. is Rendar Frankenstein’s truest attempt at fiction.   Presented in weekly episodes, the novella tells the tale of Daryl Millar – a hero who dies at the intersection of pop culture, science-fiction, war epic, and fantasy]

Ernest paced back and forth, contemplating whether or not he should go through with it. A Pulitzer and a Nobel Prize in Literature, and yet he had to go to great lengths to get his latest manuscript into the pages of Life Magazine. As he thought about this fact, he coldly nodded his head.

“The world has turned its back on me — just as I knew it would.”

I went to school and lived in the Boston area for most of my 20s. I can safely say that for the most part, the MA youth dress like shit (OL bloggers excluded). Lots of “Yankees Suck” shirts and “Believe in Boston” caps with battle-damaged brims.   That’s where Regan Smith Clarke steps in.

Inspired by vintage signs and advertisements, RSC is a Boston-based clothing company that’s been turning heads for a year now with their solid designs and integrity. Created by a Boston local who thought it’d be a good idea to name a clothing company after himself, RSC currently slings tees, hoodies, tote bags, and prints adorned with original designs that truly POP! To celebrate their first birthday, RSC has released a commemorative shirt, the “Year One.” And now, there’s an app for that!

Apple dropped the bombshell that ignited the dirtying of millions of acolytes’ panties today. Boom!, the Apple iPad 2. Sometimes there’s an advantage to be a bumbling asshole graduate student. It prevents me from splurging on things I don’t need. Despite working thirty hours a week, I’m paid shit for working “eight”, and the poverty assures that this thing will remain out of my hands. I don’t need this shit, but it ignites such a techdork part of me into a  frenzy  that is  incalculable  by modern mathematical rubrics.

Fuck, is it hot.

Today’s pick: the “Suite” from Jerry Goldsmith’s score for Outland (1981).

Part two after the jump.

Welcome to the first edition of OLOST. When you say it out loud, it sounds like you’re remorseful for the end of Lost. But what it really means is Omega Level Original Soundtrack. This is going to be a Mon-Fri post where I, Patrick “Swift Dick” Cooper, posts a song or other audio-related nugget that I hope you enjoy. I listen to a lot of movie scores because I hate the human voice. Unless it’s unexpectedly rapping at the end of a movie.

Which brings us to today’s song, “Manic Cop Rap.” Last night I bought Maniac Cop 3 at Walgreens. I live in Florida, so that makes sense. Enjoy.
