WTF: Avatar Making Depressed People More Depressed

Apparently, some folks are so overwhelmed by the special-effects in Avatar that they find life in the real world more depressing afterwards. Strangely enough, I didn’t feel any different about life in the real world after seeing Avatar. However, since reading this article about people being so emotionally affected by Avatar, I have fallen into a deep, deep depression.

On the upside, Jennifer Love Hewitt has bedazzled her vagina.

Goodbye to the man behind the curtain of many childhood delights and terrors.

Nic Cage Shoots A Little Girl

If this movie is half as bonkers as Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans, I’m in.

Looks like they killed the original trailer, so enjoy this just-as-badass one:

STILL Better Than Terminator Salvation

Before the blogosphere explodes in the age-old argument of which movie is worse, Terminator 3 or Terminator Salvation, let me state for the record that I think both movies are bad. However, Terminator 3 is watchable-bad (with some highly destructive stunts using real honest-to-God vehicles and a pretty well done bleak ending) while Terminator Salvation is an unwatchable mess full of nonsense CGI and a script with two A stories fighting each other for the chance to bore you to death.

That being said, I think Mostow made the right call in deleting the above scene from the final cut. It made me laugh while at the same time caused a sharp, stabbing pain in my brain.

Off-Topic – The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody

Few things give me pure, unfiltered joy. Thank you, Muppets.

R.I.P. Patrick Swayze:

Patrick Swayze, whose good looks and sympathetic performances in films such as “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost” made him a romantic idol to millions, died Monday. He was 57.

Swayze died of pancreatic cancer, his publicist, Annett Wolf, told CNN. (via CNN)

Farewell to more 80s awesomeness. If you’ve never seen the non edited-for-television version of Road House, you haven’t lived.
