Uncle Ruckus The Movie

Derek

ruckus1
I am a huge fan of The Boondocks cartoon that airs on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim about every 15 years (where the heck is the new season, guys?) and I have always had a sneaking suspicion that creator Aaron McGruder would try and get his characters into a feature length film but I never thought that the first character to make the jump would be the self-hating racist Uncle Ruckus. And I definitely didn’t think it would be in a live action movie. McGruder has a Kickstarter in place to try and get funding for the film and has a sort of trailer featuring Gary Anthony Williams (who voices Ruckus on the TV show) in full Uncle Ruckus regalia. Be warned though…if you are easily offended then this is not the stuff for you.

Illustrator and blogger Philip Postma put his Google searching and PhotoShopping skills to good sue to create some very cool looking Avengers characters as they could look if done by Pixar. Hopefully the bigwigs at Disney see these images and actually put a Pixar Avengers movie into production STAT! Click onward for more Avengers and go HERE to see more characters (including Spider-Man, X-Men and some of DC Comic’s finest) in all of their pseudo-Pixar glory.

Good, Bad & Ugly Review: Compliance

Derek

Compliance
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 89% (Critics) / 66% (Audience)
Directed By: Craig Zobel
Written By: Craig Zobel
Starring: Ann Dowd, Dreama Walker, Pat Healy
Studio: Magnolia Pictures

Synopsis: Becky and Sandra aren’t the best of friends. Sandra is a middle-aged manager at a fast-food restaurant; Becky is a teenaged counter girl who really needs the job. One stressful day (too many customers and too little bacon), a police officer calls, accusing Becky of stealing money from a customer’s purse, which she vehemently denies. Sandra, overwhelmed by her managerial responsibilities, complies with the officer’s orders to detain Becky. This choice begins a nightmare that tragically blurs the lines between expedience and prudence, legality and reason.

This insanely charming animated short played in theaters along with the (very awesome) Wreck-It Ralph movie last year and has been nominated for a well deserved Oscar. I defy even the coldest heart to not have a goofy smile plastered on your face while watching this.

Cast A Star Wars Reboot Using Bad Robot TV Show Alums

Derek

BadRobotStarWars1
From the moment I first read about JJ Abrams snagging the director’s gig for the STAR WARS franchise, I immediately started thinking about what a Abrams style reboot of George Lucas’ universe would be like. Then I started thinking about who would get cast for the iconic roles. And then I started thinking that everyone with a blog on the Internet was probably thinking the same thing. So I started thinking about what a rebooted STAR WARS cast would look like if all of the characters were being portrayed by veterans of Abrams’ Bad Robot produced TV series.
And that is how we got to this point in the space time continuum, folks.
