The Final Countdown: Missed Alfred Hitchcock Films, Sexy Supergirls, and Selling off a Flower

Published by Nattyb under Final Countdown

Hitch

Click on the photo for Hitchcock films that were never made

Even legendary directors like Alfred Hitchcock don’t always get their way. Over the course of his illustrious career, Hitchcock had to abandon quite a few projects due to budgetary concerns, issues with stars, or the whims of studio heads.

Badass Picture of the Week: Mr. and Mrs. Caine

Published by Paul Tassi under Images, Movies

caine-and-whife.jpg

Before he was everyone’s favorite Bat-butler, Michael Caine was an extremely slick Englishman with a very hot wife (named Shakira, pictured here). This photo was taken in 1973 during the height of Caine’s badassery during the era when he was starring in such films as (the original) Get Carter and (the original) The Italian Job.

That the man is still filling great roles thirty seven years later is pretty amazing, and it’s nice that directors like Chris Nolan still recognize his talent. You’ll find him next in Inception and assuredly whatever the next Batman ends up being.

A Look Into This Kid’s Future

Published by Nattyb under Images

Playstation

This is just all kinds of wrong.  I’m not sure whhat I can start with so I guess I’ll have to bullet point it out here.

A. The Braces. I know it’s out of this poor boy’s control but when you have braces it has to be a rule to never, ever make that kind of face.
B. The Game - Of all the games in the world you get a PS2 Bullet Proof?
C. Obviously it’s not his fault. His parents or someone else bought him this game.
D. What if it is his fault? Like, what if he did request Bullet Proof”

Which leads to E.

If this kid did choose this game and actually made this face because he’s psyched to play it, then there’s absolutely no reason he won’t be playing Bullet Proof 20 and making the same face on his 30th birthday.

My Two Favorite Superbowl Commercials from Last Night

Published by Paul Tassi under Television, Videos

Google Search Story:

Etrade Baby Girlfriend:

Since my job obligates me to watch about 10 different TV shows and at least three movies a week, I don’t have time for “sports.” But every year I do sit down and watch the Superbowl with friends, though of course I’m doing it to watch the commercials, but whatever, it counts.

I’ve steadily watched commercials get worse and worse over the years, to the point where I don’t think it’s possible to make any sort of top ten list about them post-game. Instead, there were really only two spots that stuck out in a positive way for me, which you’ll see above. The Google one was touching, the Etrade one was funny, albeit a bit disconcerting. They fired the old baby! I guess babies have to grow up at some point, but it’s gotta be a bummer to be forcibly retired at 11 months.

Granted I didn’t catch every single commercial last night, so if I missed you favorite, send me a link. If anyone says GoDaddy, I will punch you in the face.

Unreal Movie Review: From Paris With Love

Published by Paul Tassi under Movies, Reviews

from-paris3.jpg

The last time a buddy cop movie went to France, it was Rush Hour 3, so needless to say, my expectations going into From Paris With Love weren’t exactly lofty. Sure, it was replacing the comically overused black/white culture clash pairing with the slightly less overused straight-edge/crazy-pants odd couple, but it was going to take more than that to inject life into one of the most tired genres in cinema.

Though From Paris makes a good effort of it, it ultimately falls flat, and succumbs to an increasingly preposterous plot and a lackluster performance from one of its two leads. It manages a few laughs and a few exciting gunfights, but will ultimately land itself in the bargain DVD bin at a going-out-of-business Blockbuster.

M.C. Portal

Published by Paul Tassi under Images, Video Games

mc-portal.jpg

(click to enlarge)

Some rather clever illustrator came up with this image, a Portal-parody of M.C. Esher’s famous stairs painting. There aren’t a whole hell of a lot of games that could get away with such a parody, but Portal certainly is one of them, as sometimes when I was playing, the levels certainly seemed like this. In fact, I’m pretty sure this is the 20th challenge level on Still Alive.

When are they going to make a true sequel to Portal? Still Alive was great, but the challenge levels were lacking in Glados. Though we are talkin about Valve here, so a sequel is likely in the works for release sometime around 2016, if we’re lucky.

Stormtroopers: They’re Just Like Us!

Published by Madison under Images, Movies

I’m not quite sure which trashy tabloid magazine it is - maybe Us Weekly or Star - that has the feature, “Celebrities: They’re Just Like Us!” but it’s idiotic.  Julia Roberts carries her own luggage!  Katie Holmes eats with her pinkies out!  Johnny Depp uses a fork and knife!  I can’t really understand why people would want to read about the details in celebrity lives to begin with, but I’m especially perplexed by the desire to see photos of celebrities doing everyday, mundane activities.

Switch celebrities with stormtroopers, though, and then I’m interested.  I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about seeing a stormtrooper taking a break from serving the Emperor and going about his day-to-day activities.  After the jump, enjoy a gallery of stormtroopers behaving just like us.

The Academy Awards Annoys Us But We Still Need It

Published by Nattyb under Columns, Editorial

Academy

I’ve said this in the past and I’ll say it now:  I do not like the Academy Awards.  However, that doesn’t mean we don’t need it.  There are plenty of those out there that think the award show is simply another place for the higher ups in Hollywood to pat each other on the backs and celebrate being “better” than all of us.   And while I think that is true to an extent, you can’t deny that there are plenty of people in the academy who truly appreciate the work of their peers and do view this Award show as a recognition of this work.

For those of you who don’t know, the Academy consists of over 6000 people who have been chosen by those in the industry.  These people include Directors, Producers, Actors, etc etc and they are what make up the list of decision makers on determining who wins the Oscars.  One can only be a member if an invitation is given.   To find out more about the selection process you can check out How Stuff Works.

When you get down to it, the selection and voting process really isn’t all that bad.  The problem comes in when people think that the Academy itself consists of a bunch of liberal, artistic folks who tend to pick out winners that are movies who “send a message” or are “artistically superior.”  So it doesn’t really lend itself to much debate on larger pictures that most audiences have seen and enjoyed….

20 Noticeable Mistakes from James Bond Movies

Published by Nattyb under Movies

Bond

Ever since I first laid eyes on Movie Mistakes I knew it would be a site that I’d refer to pretty often.  No site is better at reporting all the latest mistakes you see in current and past movies.

The screenshots are excellent not to mention the captions that help you along the way.  It’s just a solid site and I’m always intrigued by how the production crew and post production crew can miss some of this stuff.

I mean editors must see these shots and think “damn, I’m getting fired.”  And since I’ve been watching a fair amount of Bond movies lately I figured I’d look around for Bond mistakes.

Here are 20 worth noticing

The Morning Link: Top 50 Female Actresses Under 25

Published by Nattyb under Morning Link

Scarlett

Judging by this picture you’d have to think there’s plenty of talent out there that happen to not be of legal age to rent a car.  And you’d be right in thinking that.

Actresses are getting younger and younger these days.  So while they may be a little short on talent, it doesn’t mean they’re short on looking pretty fantastic.

Here are 50 hot actresses under the age of 25.
