Wow, the storied history of the von Trapp family continues to unfold. First I learn that the Sound of Music family really does exist. Then “S” mentions going to college with Sam von Trapp on the East Coast though never meeting. “S” also mentions the Trapp family inn which I am lead to via Twitter.
Lo [...]

At Borders, I saw this jigsaw puzzle of Edward Cullen. The lineup of Twilight stuff just never ends.

Watched Slumdog Millionaire, what a show. Still feeling crummy for the kids and their living conditions in the slums of India. A great flick but with an out-of-character closing credits of the cast doing a group dance to Jai Ho. Here’s what I mean.

And since Nicole Scherzinger is in her hometown Hawaii performing the final [...]

With the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen releasing June 24, a bunch of new toys are hitting the shelves. Check out this Bumblebee Voice Mixer mask.
With this helmet, you can remix your voice with six different music styles and play sounds of Bumblebee transforming. The best thing, of course, is looking like Bumblebee.
Wear this to [...]

When talking about Neil Patrick Harris, most people think of his role as youthful doctor, Doogie Howser M.D. or his more recent work on How I Met Your Mother.
For me, I’ll always remember NPH (as his fans call him) as the mind reading Colonel Carl Jenkins of Starship Troopers who exclaims “It’s afraid. It’s afraid!” [...]

Love the Look

in Passion

I’m just loving this look! The tiara just puts it over the top.

Anyone want to guess what movie this scene is from?

I didn’t watch the entire game (and took a nap during the 3rd quarter), but from what I did see, my favorite Super Bowl 43 commercial was the one with the Potato Heads. Here it is.

Of course it had to be my favorite since I have a bunch of posts about the Potato Heads and [...]

A Karate Kid Remake?

by Gee Why on January 13, 2009

in Pulp

Jackie Chan and Will Smith’s son Jaden are planning to remake the Karate Kid? Jackie will be Mr. Miyagi and Jaden will be Daniel Larusso. That’s just blasphemy! You can ruin this classic.
Be strong Daniel! Be strong!

Twilight Through Old Eyes

by Gee Why on November 30, 2008

in Passion

Instead of spending Black Friday hunting for deals, me and the Mrs. headed to Pearlridge to fight off the crowds to watch Twilight the movie. Yes, we were about two to three times older than the average Twilighter, but so what? Twilight is a box office beast, and we read the books so [...]

DBZ Piccolo is a Vampire?

by Gee Why on September 4, 2008

in Pulp

Is it me or does the upcoming Dragonball movie portray Piccolo as a vampire?
Granted James Marsters aka Spike on Buffy and Angel plays Piccolo, but this reminds me of the first baddie on Buffy.

Vudu is Naughty

by Gee Why on August 6, 2008

in Passion

Will the allure of adult videos put Vudu on top? Maybe that’s why Vudu is coupling with AVN Media which runs the adult video studios Wicked, Vivid, and Hustler.
I just checked my Vudu box, and it’s not naughty yet.

No Mav in Top Gun 2

by Gee Why on July 24, 2008

in Pulp

There’s a Top Gun 2 in the works, but Tom Cruise, call sign Maverick, won’t be in it.
I guess the best of the best ain’t going to be back here after all.

Will Ferrell is a Baller

by Gee Why on February 29, 2008

in Pulp

Crazy Will Ferrell’s new movie Semi-Pro debuts today in theaters nationwide. His movie about a semi-professional basketball team vying to join the NBA might make it big this extra day of February. Beyond Will’s comedic skills, who knew he was a baller?
Check out Will take on retro-ed Bill Walton in a game of [...]

Save $100 on Vudu

by Gee Why on January 24, 2008

in Passion

Vudu has just reduced the price of its standard set top box by $100, now going for $295.
Recent customers who paid the original $400 Vudu price tag can get $100 worth of movies as compensation. Nice.
If you’re considering getting a Vudu box, check out my review and experiences:

Transformers Is Entertaining

by Gee Why on January 21, 2008

in Pulp

Yes, I haven’t seen a movie (at the theaters or on DVD) for some time now, but thanks to my Vudu box, I got to watch the Transformers. Very entertaining, and not quite what I expected from the battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons.
There were some holes in the story line, [...]

I purposely waited until Macworld Expo for the final installment of my Vudu movie service review. After rumored and now confirmed movie rentals available in the iTunes Store and on the AppleTV, the online movie landscape has drastically changed. Vudu has a great idea and is fairly easy to set up. It’s [...]

In Part 1 of my Vudu review, I profiled my movie watching habits and in Part 2, I talked about setting up the Vudu box. For this segment, let’s look at the convenience of Vudu.
Pulp reader susie commented that going to the old fashioned neighborhood Blockbuster was still her MO. In [...]

What do you think of when you hear about voodoo and movies?
How about Major League’s Pedro Cerrano making offerings to Jobu to banish fear out of his bats? How about a scare tactic used against Nick Nolte and Jacqueline Bisset in The Deep? Or how about a convoluted plot of revenge in the [...]

This one isn’t your average gift. For your artsy-fartsy friends (you know you got them), how about this quirky gift of a movie about Helvetica the typeface aka font. This movie is a historical perspective about the design and wide use of this popular font.
Need to see what the movie’s like? Some [...]
