Cover Me Monday: Pumped Up Kicks
Pumped Up Kicks is a snazzy little tune that tends to get stuck in my head for days on end every time I hear. Well now I am going to have to make the mental decision of which version I will be hearing…the original Foster The people song or the Usher cover that he did during an appearance on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge. Usher add some very usher like flourishes to it that did nothing to ruin the song but instead made it just different enough to be interesting. There is nothing worse than a beat for beat copy … Continue reading Cover Me Monday: Pumped Up Kicks

This Is The Holiday Inn Express…My Home
Who knew that the chick from the Broadway version of Legally Blonde (yep that really happened) was good at sketch comedy? This Shocantelle Brown character giving a tour of her extended stay motel home, MTV Cribs style, is funnier than pretty much everything I saw on Saturday Night Live last night.

Wishful Casting: The Female Expendables Movie
With the announcement that there will be an all female Expendables-type film made many a movie fan began doing their own wishful casting. Most of the suggestions were along the same lines as the original Expendables casting and seemed to focus on seasoned action starlets like Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton and Pam Grier. A curveball was thrown to aspiring casting directors everywhere when Gina Carano and Katee Sackhoff were announced as the first actresses to be signed for the film. So using those two ladies being selected as my inspiration of where I think this film is going casting-wise I came up with my own list.

The Walking Dead Season 3 Week 1: Blossoming Love During the Zombie Apocalypse
The one takeaway that I got from the season premiere of The Walking Dead was that love was definitely in the air. The slow build continues for Carol and Darryl as the twosome have gone from an icky mother/son vibe to something playful and flirty that doesn’t skeeve me out. Then there is the budding May/December romance between tweenager Carl and teenager Beth. Despite their difference in ages (he’s 13 and she’s 16 I think) the two of them were making googoo eyes at one another all episode even causing Herschel’s protective father radar to go off. Finally we had … Continue reading The Walking Dead Season 3 Week 1: Blossoming Love During the Zombie Apocalypse
The Daily Nerdgasm: Dexter Morgan’s Laboratory
Why has it taken so long for somebody to do a mashup of everyone’s favorite serial killer and my own personal favorite boy genius? The fine folks over at Screenjunkies realized the vacuum in pop culture that this was and filled it by creating this amalgamation of Showtime’s Dexter and Cartoon Network’s Dexter’s Laboratory complete with a Deb/Dee Dee hybrid of annoyance.
