Hi Taylor, it’s me, Paul. I’ve been your number one fan ever since I first saw you glare menacingly and run your hand through your hair as Tim Riggins in Friday Night Lights. Well, that’s not true. There are probably about 200,000 teenage girls who like you more than me, but I appreciate you as much as a dude can acceptably appreciate another dude.

That’s why we need to talk. I have been excited, as I’m sure you have been, to see you become a full-fledged movie star. It’s hard to make it out of TV, and even harder to start headlining movies that have hundreds of millions of dollars behind them.

But seriously Taylor, even if the allure of being the leading man in a film is irresistible, you have to start picking your projects better. Continue Reading »

Being an actor is a dangerous job, and rather than risk their own life and limb on set, they have people to do that for them. Stunt people are probably the most underappreciated folks in movies, as they get little glory despite taking enormous risks for our amusement.

I do not know who assembled this gallery originally, but these pictures were sent to me and it’s a really neat selection. It’s a collection of celebrities and their stunt doubles, and many are as trippy as the one you see above.

For every Zoe Bell who gets their moment to shine in a film, there are countless more whose faces are never seen. Check them out below. Continue Reading »

We all know Tyrion Lannister (and by extension, Peter Dinklage) is a bit of a darling here at Unreality. The dude’s sheer awesomeness has led me to devour any and all film and television projects of his that I can get my little nerd-girl hands on. I’m not going to lie, his piercing blue eyes also provided much of the forward momentum.

Unabashed crush aside, Peter Dinklage really does have an uber impressive body of work. I saw The Station Agent back in college when it was released (*adjusts hipster glasses*), and it really is as good as everyone says. He was also one of the better parts of the quickly sinking ship that was season 4 of Nip/Tuck. And since I hear tell there are some sci-fi fans around these parts, be sure to check out Threshold. (Brent Spiner and Peter as snarky scientists! How was this show not a hit? What’s that? The somewhat poorly developed plot and less-than-stellar writing? Alright, then.) I’ve also had the singular pleasure of experiencing the horrific abomination that is Tiptoes: the official selection of the 2004 Sundance Film Festival which was introduced by the director explaining he had been fired before final editing, and thus had no idea what the audience was about to see.

My cinematic travels ultimately led me to discover that Peter Dinklage had made four movies with Steve Buscemi, who is also awesome, and is also in possession of blue eyes. COINCIDENCE?! Probably. A light trolling of the internets revealed that the two actors highly respect one another, and Buscemi was an early advocate for casting Dinklage in various projects he produced, directed, or was otherwise involved with. Peter reveals in a Vanity Fair interview that he and Steve are “not really” drinking buddies. I like to think he’s lying. Without further ado, here are the four Dinkscemi vehicles, all of which I recommend as underrated gems: Continue Reading »

We’re trying out a new segment from contributor Ed Lee where he gives us a rundown of all the eventful things that happened this week in sci-fi history. Check it out below, and let us know what you think!

MAY 21:

On this day in 1980, Lucasfilm & 20^th Century Fox released THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK – still the highwater mark in the entire STAR WARS saga so far as most fans are concerned; and, in 2009, TERMINATOR SALVATION opened, further fracturing that franchise’s fanbase into frenzied fits of of fervent debate.  (Whew!)  This week in television, “Scorpion: Part 1” served as the season finale for UPN’s STAR TREK: VOYAGER, launching a brave new storyline that promised to go boldly where Star Trek had already been before.  Also, on this date in 1925, Canadians finally allowed beer sales.

Famous (or infamous) genre birthdays include:  Richard Hatch (the original Captain Apollo from TV’s BATTLESTAR GALACTICA); Mr. T (ROCKY III’s and the original B.A. Baracus); Richard Libertini (one of the most recognizable ‘bit’ actors of his time, but he’ll always be Irwin Fletcher’s boss from the legendary FLETCH); and freelance writer Lowell Cunningham, the man who created and wrote the comic book series “Men In Black.” Continue Reading »

We don’t often have dopplegangers on this website but I must admit this one was pretty awesome.   Considering the kind of “old school” icon the Sam Adams logo is, it’s a little weird that a present day person would have such an accurate look. I can only assume he dresses like Sam Adams for every single Halloween party he goes to.

If not, that’s a colossal mistake.  Just another quick word of advice for this guy.   Get a haircut dude.

The last thing I would ever consider this site to be is a celebrity site.  However, given that we love our movies, television, and entertainment, celebrities do technically fall under that category.  And that’s why I just had to post these pictures.   I mean have you ever been in horrible lighting in some weird bathroom?  We all have.   Well imagine your face looked like that all the time.

Celebrities:  they’re just like us!   And just like us normal people, if you take a really close up shot of them, they’re going to look super weird and super scary.   I think you guys are going to like these pics.

Personally I thought Mick Jagger’s was the scariest.  Who do you think was?  Pictures after the jump

“Even famous people get old. They do their best to disguise this from you via plastic surgery, incredibly expensive skin cream containing stem cells from ground up homeless babies, and other assorted arcane beauty rituals too terrible and horrifying to describe here. ”

Go here to see the list.

Go here to see the most insane video games about dating.

“Dating video games are hugely popular in Japan: They’re text-heavy games where each click brings you a little closer to either getting to see some cartoon porn or ending up in a “game over” screen (and then seeing that cartoon porn on Google anyway). The stories always involve a childhood friend you secretly lust for, a wise character with glasses who gives you advice (that you secretly lust for) and, this being Japan, a healthy dose of insanity.”

Between my review and Dave’s post, this is turning into Diablo 3 day here on Unreality. And I can’t say I can complain about that.

Nor can I pass up this combination of Game of Thrones and Diablo, which further illustrates the point I’ve made about how the Auction House feels like cheating, even if it isn’t. It’s a lot more satisfying to get your own gear from kills (the paying the iron price) rather than buying it outright from someone else who did the hard work (the gold price). That said, the AH is now an inherent part of the game, and is almost necessary to progress in later difficulties unless you want to spend a few extra hundred hours hoping that the gear you find surpasses your own.

It’s just a…strange system, and I’m not sure how I feel about it.

We may be in the off-season of Dexter right now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t take a break from Game of Thrones to post a Dex-related video.

YouTuber CynicalKoala (fantastic name) decided to see what it might be like if Dexter was a sitcom rather than a dark serial killer drama. There are definitely a few comedic elements in the show, so what better way to let people know when to laugh than by inserting a track that instructs them to do so?

I really can’t explain why laugh tracks worked so well for so many years, right up until Seinfeld and Friends, but now they’re just atrocious whenever you hear them.
