Trailer for Kubrick's Shining

Movie critics have often said that Kubrick's movies are often unsentimental and robotic. To that I say, bully on you. Judging by the trailer to Kubrick's Shining, he can capture that wacky feel good zaniness of a modern day dramady. Take that, Camereon Crow.

Canadians: A Nation of Jolly Fat Fucks

An American writer thinks that government should keep out of Canadian kitchens. And if people feel like eating junk food, they have every right to crack open the chips and pop.
...
"For some people the solution is, they prefer to be fat," he said. "That's their choice and they should be permitted to make it."

Considering that we're the nation that hails poutine as a national export and eats rivers of maple syrup I don't find the results of this study to be particularly surprising.

Is Croneneberg Canada's madest director?

Eccentric film-maker DAVID CRONENBERG shocked his cast and crew on the set of new movie A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, by publicly performing sex scenes with his wife.

The director hoped his explicit displays of affection with his wife would help stars VIGGO MORTENSEN and MARIA BELLO, who play man and wife in the film, feel more comfortable during their sex scenes together.

But, instead, the Cronenbergs just left everyone on the set stunned.

Why yes. Yes he is. And you thought that his obsession with strange sex were only inside the frame. Ho ho ho! Long live the new flesh! Or, in the case of he and his wife, the old stuff.

Ronald McDonald to get sex change in Japan

Is this a picture of Leeloo from the sequel to the Fifth Element 2: the Wrath of the Hyper-Electric Bugaloo? Acording to the Guardian it's the new Japanese Ronald McDonald. The commercial in which she was unveiled ends a a long campaign detailing her transformation from affable clown to sultry sex pot. The media campaign, beginning several months ago to combat the growing loss of customers wanting healthier food, started with the male version of Ronald eating a magical hamburger. In subsequent commercials Japanese viewers sat agog as they watched him develop the secondary sexual characteristics of a woman and his growing attraction to men and the new McDonald's burgers. The commercials took a stranger turn when he transformed into an egg nearing the end of his transformation, the Japanese McDonalds no doubt fearing that the genital inversion might put off the more customers than it could attract. The final commercial, where the new look was unveiled, she emerged from the egg like a butterly only to reveal her new abilities: the power of flight. She then flew through Tokyo, shooting the new Japanese burger out of her mouth feeding hungry Japanese salary men. Needless to say, McDonalds has no plans to introduce the campaign in North America.

The Mario Opera

Opera and video game addicts take note, Johnathon Mann has created the perfect cross over hit, the Mario Opera. The opera is more like a folk rock opera than the traditional fat lady one, covering Mario staples acoustically with tongue in cheek lyrics. Take Things Are Familiar, for example, which mixes the underground music from the NES games with meta referential lyrics that suggest that Mario is aware that he may have died and come back to life. Heroes questioning their very nature is more Metal Gear than Miyamoto. It's heady stuff that you wouldn't expect from a game that features plumbers jumping on turtles.

Chris Claremont: XXX-Man

It seems that nowadays if you want to write X-Men, it helps if have some strange sexual leanings. Uncanny X-Men writer Chuck Austen used to write porno comics. Alien abductee Grant Morrison used to prance around in woman's clothing in San Fran bars. But what of X-Men super scribe Chris Claremont? Acording to rumour he enjoys fetish play and fisting. Considering his work on Xtreme X-Men, which features Storm ala bondage this isn't that tough to swallow.

So why the hell has Subway discontinued their Sub Club program?

If you're like me, you've probably been a fan of the Sub Club program since it's inception. No other fast food company has consistently rewarded customers with their patronage like Subway has. Recently, anyone that eaten out at Subway has noticed that they've discontinued the Sub Club program. Ever wanted to know why? Acording to Wired it's because of the rampant explosion of Sub Club Fraud. Who would have thought?

Slow-mo videos

Hey, remember how jazzed you were when John Woo first came to America and the Matrix sequels were poised to hit the theaters? Remember the disapointment when you saw the Woo used Van Damme and the Wachoskis used the first draft of their script? For those who miss the glory days of slow-mo goodness in their cinema, this site may be the answer. Although it lacks women in hot leather kicking the shit out of computer controlled cops, it does have water balloons being popped in zero-g, something that we *definately* missed in the Matrix.

HMV Pulls All Bob Dylan Albums - HMV Sucks Ass

HMV makes Canada look bad with it's infantile reactions to exclusive sale agreements.

Say it ain't so, Skipper! GILLIGAN'S DEAD

I grew up watching Gilligan's Island literally every day. I remember coming home from kindergarten and sitting in front of TBS and watching my hour of TV, which consisted of Tom & Jerry's Superstation Funhouse and Gilligan's Island. (sometimes I got to watch M.A.S.K) Anyway, Gilligan's Island has long been a favourite of mine, and the news of Bob Denver's passing saddens me deeply.

Bob Denver, whose portrayal of goofy first mate Gilligan on the 1960s television show "Gilligan's Island," made him an iconic figure to generations of TV viewers, has died, his agent confirmed Tuesday. He was 70.

New Orleans: Hell City

I know it sounds heinous, but what's happening in New Orleans reminds me of the Batman cross-over of a few years back called "No Man's Land". The premise was that after an outbreak of a deadly disease and a terrible earthquake, Gotham is declared a no man's land is no longer considered to be a part of the US. Despite the lack of a vigilante that brings a city back from the brink through the use of fear, Rice spent her time buying shoes and Bush
is jammed on the guitar. Fucking A! Meanwhile in New Orleans, shit goes explodo, snipers are preventing the evacuation of a hospital and refugees are stuck the stadium. The Washington Post paints a bleak picture.

On the fourth level, the darkest and highest of all, the lurkers lived, scary in the shadows. The fourth level, people explained, was for the gangsters and the druggies. The rumors sprang from there: Two girls had been raped; one girl had been raped and one killed. Someone was abducting newborns. A man had jumped from there and died. A murder had occurred.

To make matters worse, Bush, in his infinite wisdom has refused help from other countries. What's wrong the the American electorate to have elected this monkey twice? My mind boggles.
