New ‘THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG’ TRAILER: Hobbits, Prophecies, Inept Wizards

The Hobbit - Something Such.

Hey! Here’s a new trailer for The Hobbit: Peter Jackson Commits the Same Exact Sins as the Prequels. I oscillate between being very excited, and remembering how disappointing I found the first installment.

Monday Morning Commute: Ravioli Sauce & Used Diapers

Same.

…I can relate, man. Or how about fifteen slices of pizza on a Friday night? Or two pounds of Laffy Taffy while refreshing Tumblr for nine hours on a Saturday evening? None happened this previous weekend, all of happened at one point in my life. This isn’t about shaming, though.

It’s about embracing the absurdity, the rot, the excess, the loneliness, the glee, the victory, the defeat.

‘STAR TREK 3’ may be directed by ‘ATTACK THE BLOCK’s JOE CORNISH

Joe Cornish.

Joe Cornish! I thought you were going to provide me with the Snow Crash adaptation I’ve fantasized about in my bed. Late at night. But hey, what can you do. If you end up directing Star Trek 3, my chubby will be nearly the same. Cornish’s Attack the Block is fucking fantastic, and I think the good sir could inject some heart into the Trek after the shiny but deadened Into Darkness.

Crossover Beauty.

For me, this news is 66% fanboy fluids flinging  and 33% oh God owned by Disney industry synergy nonsense. Ignore my protestations and know that the fanboy is winning.
