Shrugging My Shoulders

SDCC

If anything, San Diego Comic Con can tell us where the entertainment industry is for the upcoming year. What I learned is that the movie industry is dying. Companies that used to make forty films a year are now making two or three blockbusters. People you considered to be movie stars are now digging their claws into a television series. And Marvel movies seem to be the only ones worth talking about anymore. You can see the writing on the wall as there was more video game news to come out of SDCC than actual movie news. Marvel saying they heard the rumors of a “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie doesn’t count as news.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy

The awesome Mortal Kombat web series that was better than any other project is finally getting a second season. No real details were leaked, but hopefully the second season will be as awesome as the first.

Elysium

Neill Blomkamp made the awesome movie “District 9″. Now he is back with a new movie called “Elysium” staring Matt Damon. No real info, but an awesome screenshot of Damon holding a big ass future looking gun. “District 9″ and “Source Code” were the only real science fiction films to come out in recent years, and it looks like “Elysium” can be added to that list once it comes out.

Melvin’s Pick of the Day- 5/3/12- Parodies Lost

3 May

hokusai tardisI love the paintings of Hokusai.  Those famous paintings of Mount Fuji are gorgeous, and of course the well known The Great Wave off Kanagawa is amazing.  I especially love the TARDIS flying serenely off the crest of the wave.  Wait a minute, what?

Brad of Parodies Lost has that geek skill I treasure the most.  The ability to take iconic images of geek culture and plop them gracefully into the midst of well-known pieces of art.  You know the Doctor gets around, did you know he made it to Wonderland and parked the TARDIS right under the Cheshire cat?

So whether it’s finding the TARDIS in strange places, or learning that Whistler’s mother was a Jedi, you’re sure to find something you love at Parodies Lost, so go check it out!

The weekend is fast approaching on us, and if you are like me.. You really dont have a damn thing to do. ( This includes things you really SHOULD be doing, but you decide otherwise) While waiting at a car dealership for countless hours, my boyfriend let me play around on his cellphone and we found the most epic of epic games. This game does not have crazy cool graphics. No hack and slash abilities. It does, though, have something that brought me back to my childhood and had me squealing like mad.

Click to see what game I found…
