Separated at Birth: Lena Headey and Lara Flynn Boyle

We caught the new Terminator television series two-night premiere and I got to thinking that Lena Headey (from 300, who plays Sarah Conner in the series) looked like Lara Flynn Boyle.
For shits and giggles, I looked up Lena Headey and Lara Flynn Boyle on imdb, and here are the first images I found. [...]

VIDEO FIND . Captain EO

This is as rad today as it was when I was a kid. Too bad they removed it from the Disneyland park. I love the little blue elephant. He looks like the little brother of the keyboard player from Jabba’s palace.

Sam and Max Season 1 videogame review

As I’ve stated before, I don’t usually write about video or computer games, but I’ve found another that I have to say something about. You see, I was a huge adventure game enthusiast back in the day, and Sam and Max Hit the Road is easily one of my favorite adventure games of all time. [...]

VIDEO FIND . Meiko Kaji, Still Grudge Singing after all these years

Check this out. Meiko Kaji, now in her sixties, performing Urami Bushi (Female Prisoner Scorpion’s Grudge Song). She actually looks pretty healthy for her age (she’s dropped the stick-skinny thing, but not the Stray Cat Rock clothes), and still sounds exactly the same as on her Zenkyokushu album. Check out the video below.

Calvin Klein and his “logical stuffed transparent box of models”

A couple of days ago, there was some promo for Yahoo! oneSearch linked to Fashion Week 2007. Obviously, I don’t follow fashion, so I immediately thought they meant São Paulo Fashion Week (don’t ask me why I knew that one over the one in New York).
I decided to do a quick search [...]

A few issues to be upset about

I don’t usually bring in political articles in an effort to keep the comment boards civil, but some of these issues in the past week or so have been pretty frustrating.
The Evil P2P Menace!
This CNET news article reports that Congress is now claiming P2P networks are a threat to national security. Why? Because a [...]

Yes, still alive: Shannyn Sossamon

Holy crap.. Shannyn Sossamon’s the lead for the One Missed Call remake due out in January 2008. She is also starring with one of my favorite actors and hotties, Desmond Harrington, along with Ileana Douglas and Lara Flynn Boyle in a new movie called Life is Hot in Cracktown about (doi) coke addicts AND [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . The Heavenly Kings

A determined Daniel Wu walks at a heightened pace through a modern building’s corridor towards a fated elevator.

So this weekend is going to be a bit overly busy, so a full length film review is pretty much out of the question. In exchange, I offer these horse-capsule reviews. Note, for those of you repeatedly searching for Linda, Linda, Linda, I’ll have you covered in a week or so.
Space Battleship Yamato [...]

Jared Leto blimped up to be John Lennon’s killer

You know Jared Leto as the thin-as-a-rail heroin chic pretty boy from Fight Club and Requiem for a Dream but did you know that he gained over 60 pounds last year? He plumped up to play Mark David Chapman (John Lennon’s murderer) for the upcoming film Chapter 27.

Leto binged on pizza, [...]

Sharon Stone’s Auction Head-scratcher

Found this on the IMDB news and thought I might as well share it. So strange.
Sharon Stone stunned audience members at a charity auction in Berlin, Germany on Monday night by enticing participants to bid by calling them “nasty little Germans.” The 48-year-old was acting as an auctioneer at the Cinema for Peace gala [...]

Anna Nicole Smith died today, who’ll have ghost sex now?

I just thought I’d throw this up there because it’s slightly “dreamlogic”.
39-year-old Anna Nicole Smith died today at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida of unknown causes and on the heels of a Trim Spa lawsuit (the diet pill campaign she pushed and used to lose almost 70 pounds was [...]

DVD REVIEW . Chiseen

Let me tell you about ABCs. No, not the alphabet, the acronym. It stands for “American Born Chinese” and Daniel Wu is one of the most famous ABC actors of the bunch. Like my brief idolatry of Kiefer Sutherland’s fearless punky vampire leader in Lost Boys, I had a thing for Daniel [...]
