O'Reilly?
Okay, so I just discovered what must be the most unintentionally funny political talkshow ever. It’s called The O’Reilly Factor.
Basically, this guy is a “traditionalist” political commentator, but really, he’s not helping out the Conservatives much. This guy is just so incredibly arrogant, close-minded, and an outright bully that it is almost comical. I get huge...
Book 'em Danno!
The new intro to the Hawaii Five-O remake has been released, and it sounds waaay better than the last one released a few months back. All the iconic shots from the original intro are retained, accompanied with a grander orchestral beat compared to the synchorinised one. This is a beautiful case of the producers actually listening to the fans (cos’ I remember reading some criticisms a few...
TDIT's Dream President of USA
The following was posted on Pixar Planet:
If I were to elect an (American) President for 2012, I’d want him/her to:
- Be pro-multiculturalism. Encourage foreign talent and expatriates, but through legal immigration.
- Support same-gender marriage. I believe in separation of religion from state and a secular government, and that having same-gender couples marry, while considered sinful...
Ten Things to Note in the New Megamind Trailer
So a third trailer has been released for the upcoming Dreamworks’ film Megamind.
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/dreamworks/megamind/
Here’s my ten thoughts on the new trailer (SPOILERS AHEAD unless you’ve seen the trailer):
1. Great opening, you get to see the emotional undercurrent to Megamind and Metroman’s rivalry.
2. The music when they reveal Titan…...
Inception Review
I’ll start off by saying Inception has been the movie I’ve been literally waiting for all summer. I went to see this movie with a mate yesterday at this dinghy arthouse theatre cos’ I got two free tickets from answering a survey. The screen was incredibly small (the height of a typical school projector, and the width of a living room), but my god, the story more than made up for...

5 Things I've observed in the new Tangled Preview
The folks at Disney have released a brand-new preview on the upcoming flick Tangled!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79ia4UL2N8o
Things I noticed (Spoiler unless you’ve seen the video that TangledUpInDisney linked to):
1) Why is Rapunzel unable to escape from her tower if she has such long hair? Has she thought of using it before, or did Flynn have to point that out to her?
2) What is...
Mind-bending online Flash games
I’ve spent the last two hours played three online Flash games recommended by folks on Wall-E Forum. All of them are brilliant parodies of video game conventions and each doesn’t take longer than fifteen minutes to complete if you’re good: The first is [url=http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/546057]Tower of Heaven[/url]. It’s a basic platformer except after a few levels,...
Do you have a strong personal connection to a...
The following was written by TDIT on the ‘Do you have a strong personal connection to a certain film?’ thread on Pixar Planet:
I can’t think of any movie that has affected me on such a personal level, it’s more of a film with characters that I relate to or feature themes that I appreciate/enjoy.
Finding Nemo was the first Pixar film that I actually liked. Marlin’s...
