Free Movie Friday

andrew top-hat — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:27:26 +0000

It’s a twofer – first up:
I was listening to Smodcast and was wondering if I could find out how Cop Out was without having to pay money to see it, because of all the stuff I heard, none of it was really good.
So I googled it and found an actual copy of the movie on Ustream! the funniest part it was shot in the theatre and streamed live as the dude watched the movie, what a great idea.
So on to my review.
First off, they go through a bunch of movie quotes in the very opening scene, which is fine, but you don’t have to tell me the fucking references! It’s insulting and makes the jokes less funny, that bothered me.
But other than that, I didn’t mind the movie at all, I kind of enjoyed it, it seems like one of those movies that you end up watching on a Sunday afternoon when you are hung over and too effed up to search for the remote.
They pull out every cop movie cliche you could think of and Tracy Morgan is friggin hilarious, as always. The story is interesting enough, and the supporting cast is having a ball, you can just tell. I think Kevin Smith harkened back to the days of 80s cop movies and interesting enough, managed to mix in his thoughts and feelings on male insecurity, adult relationships and being a nerd boy, but to me it wasn’t overt, but what do I know.
Oh, and the soundtrack is great. So in your spare time, like at work when your boss isn’t looking, check it out.
I really think that watching movies on a small screen with not so great quality does take away from your reaction to the movie but I did sit through the whole thing.

next, is Real Genius, some of Kilmer’s best work, on hulu. This movie is awesome, I may be dating myself(non exclusive) but this movie is rad, although it is hard to seperate art from nostalgia.

Jason Schwartzman and Michael Cera With the Weather

andrew top-hat — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 18:52:02 +0000

So Jason Schwartzman and Michael Cera did the weather on the local news in Atlanta, undoubtedly to promote their new movie, which I will probably maybe go see.

My favorite part is the news people trying to be funny, I love it when people in the presence of humorists think that they are somehow absorbing some funny through osmosis or something, if they were smart they would just sit back and enjoy something they cannot do.
Here is the trailer for Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World:

if you don’t want to see that, then maybe the Expendables? Personally, I will wait for this to hit netflix

wait…did I just see Arnie? Isn’t there some rule about this? There should be. Actually after watching the trailer I kinda want to see it, 99% of the time the trailer is better than the movie.

Fake Net Neutrality Spells the End of Slowtimer

andrew top-hat — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 02:08:06 +0000

Seriously, google is being a dick. Imagine if you couldn’t find slowtimer anymore, or the Slowtimer Reports wouldn’t load as fast as other videos. This is what happens if you let corporations fuck with your freedom. Basically what Google is saying is that they are for net neutrality when it comes to wired internet, but when it comes to wireless or mobile internet thay will be able to block certain things or give privilege to a certain site. Fuck that. Seriously folks, it doesn’t matter what side of the political pie you are biting, this sucks for freedom. Wireless and mobile internet is where everything is going and they want to squeeze the little guy out.

Check out this video which gives a brief explanation of what google is trying to fuck us with.

And sign a petition to tell google they are being dicks and they should stop being evil, hypocritical dicklips.
