Axel Foely to At-At Families: A day in the life of…(6/3)

1 – In the massive upswing of sequels, it was only a matter of time until they hit something I really hold dear. Beverly Hills Cop is one of my favorite comedies and it holds so many great peaks for R-rated laughers along with being the beginning of a possibly legendary career for Eddie Murphy. It’s not really a big surprise that Eddie would want to jump back into the role of Axel Foley, but take my word, the only way this will work is if they get the old Eddie back. No PG-13 rating here. We need swearing, cocky, abrasive Axel Foley once again. If they follow through on that, I might just start playing the theme song once again as my alarm clock. [via Perez]

2 – Turning from sequels, we go to the only logical place, prequels. J.K. Rowling said she would not continue any more books in the Harry Potter series, but she never said anything about going backwards. She wrote a prequel novel for the Potter-verse, but this is only going to sold for charity in an auction, no mass publication will be done. As gracious as this is, and I am sure it will pull in a healthy amount of Euros, I feel bad for the house that will inevitably get broken into by a mob of crazed quidditch players in search of the mythical tome.

3 – I’ve heard rumblings through my group of friends that I should start paying attention to the Fox TV starlet show, The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I usually would have been glued to this already by the casting choice of Summer Glau, but something kept me from feeling totally committed to it. Now they sweetened the pot by dropping in Shirley Manson, the lead singer of Garbage, for next season. Hello TiVo, goodbye productivity. [via ComingSoon]

4 – Is it possible the Coen Brothers will ever make a normal movie? I doubt it sincerely. Here’s a link to the Red-Band trailer for their next ecclectic collection of actors in Burn After Reading. [via WWTDD]

5 – This might actually crack a smile on the faces of all those dark, black nailed little girls in the world. Their heroine, Emily the Strange, is on her sad and angry way to the screen. Something tells me a PG rating for this is not forthcoming. [via ComingSoon]

6 – So a couple of teenage girls blatantly stole $150 from a 9-year-old girl scout who was selling those painfully addicting cookies. Two things are wrong with the video here; first, these girls have no concept of morality and a frightening absence of realization of their own effect on the world around them, secondly, these girls are obviously not right in the head because they stole the money and not the cookies. Seriously, they are like crack cookies! [via Today's Big Thing]

7 – Hopefully you haven’t tossed your computer out the window after watching that last scarred piece of humanity, but if you are lucky enough to keep your revulsion in check, here is your reward. You see, there are still some decent people in this place. [via YouTube via Diablo Cody's Blog]

8 – Sometimes, just sometimes, they get something so painfully right. I have no idea if the movie is going to be any good at all, but I hope they keep making these videos, because they are certainly worth the entire movie’s budget. [via The Superficial]

10 – This is pure genius. Prints available here. [via TCritic]

P.S. There soon will be some changes to this blog. You will see more pointed posts about particular topics alongside those about random happenings on the web or in the entertainment world. Also, I just added two more links on the Charities page, so please take a look in there. I will be adding to that list more often now. Thanks for any support you can lend to these deserving causes.

Mario Brothers Math to Pregnancy Picture Pages: A day in the life of…(4/28)

1 – If only they had better geometry and math teachers when Mario was in school, he would have known what he was in for. [via the art of taking of your sunglasses]

2 – The Harry Potter superfans are now going to have yet another way to confuse their reality with the one J.K. Rowling created. Warner Brothers announced they are planning a traveling Harry Potter Exhibition to descend on around 17 major cities. No word yet on what it will entail or what the tickets will cost, but I imagine both answers will be something extraordinary. [via ComingSoon]

3 – Why can’t the right half and left half of our brains just get along? This is why. [via College Humor]

4 – Is it too much to ask for me to have one of these on the roof of my apartment building? Seriously. [via Film School Rejects]

5 – In what could be a major boost to the buzz on the 90210 spin-off sequel, the execs are reported going after teen singing and movie sensation Hilary Duff. I’m not sure I see her making the jump back into TV land, but this could turn into a major project, so it remains to be seen. I predict right now though, if she does get on the show, you will see a musical performance at the Peach Pit by episode 3. [via IMDB, last item on the page]

6 – Now there is a new duke in the political arena. Welcome the one commentator who pulls no punches, bends to no will but his own, and still has to ask for rides to the movies…it’s Sexman. [via FilmDrunk]

7 – The perfect gift for your photography addicted friend, who just also seems to be a fashionista-in-training. [via swissmiss]

8 – Yet again, beyond my own capitalistic desires for people to buy novelty t-shirts from me, I have to bow down to the chuckles this Rock Band parody shirt brought me. The only thing I might add is some text on the back that read, “Same song again? Here we go!”. [via militant geek via think geek]

9 – 6 our of 8 in this weeks Filmwise Quiz. I feel a little spiffy right now. [via Filmwise]

10 – Finally, simple easy to follow diagrams for pregnant women who might be finding their decision making skills a little on the fritz. [via sexyandfunny]
