Ancient SOUND WAVES Sculpted Galaxy Formation. That’s Rockin’ Hard, Yo.

Galactic formation back in the day is the result of sound waves. Sound waves! What the fuck. Now there’s something I hadn’t thought of when it came to how the Universe formed. However, usually when I think about the Universe forming I end up picturing (invariably) the Multiverse and then I’m onto imagining myself in present day riding a T. Rex with Jesus to the Drive Thru at Taco Bell.

Strange Moments in Solid Movies: Boomer the Dog FTW in Independence Day

With an insatiable desire to depict worlds in disarray, Roland Emmerich has spent the better part of three decades pumping out grandiose blockbusters bedecked in social destruction with a flair for the skeptical. That isn’t to say there is a whole lot of method behind the madness; Emmerich’s love for blowing stuff up–be it a sturdy building or established fact–is just too primary, too outrageous. And he’s willing to draw on dicey pasts (The Patriot, Anonymous) and controversial presents (The Day After Tomorrow, 2012) to lay waste to the good earth of cinema, scorching anything that resembles sensible storytelling or true scientific inquiry in his movies’ cataclysmic march to commercial success. And leader of this bombastic parade is Independence Day, Emmerich’s most entertaining film to date.

Act Your Age With Capcom Retro Collections

Face it: you’re old. That’s what I tell myself as I stare into the abyss that is my ever-increasing forehead. As the hair recedes, all that is left is pale, shiny flesh that serves only to reflect past glories and hide regret within the ever-deepening recesses. This week sees two ‘retro’ collection releases from Capcom appearing on our shelves. The games I grew up with are now fit for re-packaging and retro bumper packs. It’s all getting too real. Still, it’s hard to feel sorry for myself when I’m smashing the collective face of the Mad Gear Gang with Mike Haggar’s iron pipe of justice (trademark pending).

‘ROCK OF AGES’ TRAILER: So Goddamn Insane It Might Work.

I thought that Tom Cruise in Rock of Ages  was going to be a goddamn train wreck. What I didn’t realize was that the movie wasn’t going to take itself seriously. It’s a uh, comedy? I’m not certain. All I know is that while I watching the trailer I felt moderately entertained while trying to figure out how serious this flick’s tone was intended  to be.
