Hungry for "The Hunger Games?" Feed on MTV's Sneak Peek

This snippet from the anticipated film aired during MTV's VMA Awards and is introduced by star Jennifer Lawrence.  Kind of like Twinkies for Tweens.  Warning:  Your equilibrium might be affected by all the whip-pans the director seems to favor.

"Lost" Actor Matthew Fox Accused of Losing It in Cleveland Assault

Geez, Cleveland, Ohio is sure in the news a lot lately.  It's become a focal point for comic book movie geeks since the city is standing in for New York as "The Avengers" movie continues filming there.  Now comes word that Matthew Fox of "Lost" fame has been accused of allegedly assaulting a female bus driver outside a bar.

According to accounts Fox was drunk when he tried to crash a party going on in the bus.  The driver tried to detain him but he allegedly punched the bus driver in some sensitive area.  The driver responded by hitting back and managed to cut his lip -- apparently injuring her hand in the process.  Just goes to show Fox must have a hard head; otherwise why would he act like this?  

Perhaps the most shocking aspect of this story is the fact that despite the presence of The Avengers in Cleveland, not ONE member of the superteam responded to this incident.  Captain America didn't have some down time?  Just goes to show, there's never a superhero around when you need one.

The Rise of Atlantis, free?

So, thanks to a late night caffeine binge here I am buzzing on an early Sunday morning watching the sun come up.  Anyway as long as I'm awake, just thought I'd ask if anyone has ever played The Rise of Atlantis game. Can you play it for free? I've heard a lot about it, mostly good stuff.  Just curious about it.  All I recall of Atlantis is that it was some hippie song back when.  It was also the hometown of Aquaman and the Sub-Mariner (a much cooler Atlantean).  Think it was also the name of a space shuttle.  But the game has me underwater. 

See, it really is early.

"Desperate Housewives" Ending After 8 Seasons

The Desperate Housewives of Wisteria Lane better call the moving vans.  ABC is preparing to announce the long-running favorite will wrap up its steamy story lines after this season (2011-2012).

Stars Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross were reportedly stunned by the news; certainly fans of the show will be similarly shocked.  The series, created by Marc Cherry, had been expected to continue until 2013 for a ninth season.

For the most part the show has run with machine-like precision, retaining its audience and profitability through distractions like the departure of original cast member Nicole Sheridan.  Her lawsuit against the show over allegations of battery and wrongful termination (among other things) is still ongoing.  Throughout its run, Desperate Housewives has skillfully managed the comings-and-goings of various characters played by Dana Delany and Vanessa Williams.

The show has been a hit since its October 2004 premiere, winning over audiences and critics with a smart mix of dark humor, soap opera, and absorbing mysteries.  In addition to becoming water cooler conversation, Desperate Housewives has been a cash cow for ABC Studios, performing well domestically and overseas.

Does the thought of Desperate Housewives coming to an end shock and/or sadden you?  To be completely honest I thought it was cancelled a while back.  I got my jollies ogling Eva Longoria for the first season, then never looked back.

Nicki Minaj Earns Breast In Show On GMA

See, this is why I sometimes wish I lived on the East Coast:  The viewers in that time zone got an early wake up call when singer Nicki Minaj experienced a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ while performing a song on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” 

The renegade boob made a brief appearance on national TV despite ABC’s five-second delay imposed on the performance.  (Maybe the censors were too distracted by the nip-slip to hit the button?)  To her credit, Minaj regained control of the wayward teat and carried on with her performance.

No doubt there will be some requisite outrage from various conservative groups carping about this offense to morality.  What’s really outrageous is that ABC cut the titillating footage when it aired on the west coast.  Seeing that uncut footage would have jolted me awake faster than a triple espresso.

Will The Real Man Of Steel Please Man Up?

Okay, it's been around twenty-four hours since the release of the photo from Zack Snyder's "Superman Man of Steel". Now that the excitement has leveled off (hasn't it?) let me share some observations with you.  

From the picture it looks like Supes is having a bad day at the bank vault. Maybe he didn't have valid ID for a withdrawal? Where would he keep a wallet in a suit that tight anyway? Scrutinizing the picture, I noticed two things: One, Henry Cavill's facial expression makes him look oddly like a constipated Ben Stiller. And two, I thought I detected some Gil Kane influence going on with Cavill's pose.

While my fellow comic book geeks will get the Gil Kane reference, allow me to explain it for the people who have real lives. Gil Kane (1926-2000) was an influential comic book artist who drew every genre from westerns to sci-fi to superheroes. Kane's stint on Spider-Man resulted in one of the best interpretations of that character; in fact, several of Kane's poses were referenced in Sam Raimi's Spidey films (Spider-Man 2, in particular). So now you know I really do have too much time on my hands.

Back to the photo: What can we really tell from it? Not much, and I'm sure that was the studio's intent; give us just enough to whet our appetite. Looks like this Man of Steel is beefier, sporting some attitude. That's not a bad thing. But with Christopher Nolan involved I hope they don't go the Dark Knight route with Superman. Batman lives in the shadows, after all; Superman is the bright beacon of hope.

I pray the destruction depicted in the photo (whether it's actually from the film or just a staged publicity shot) portends an action-packed Superman movie. I thought that was a big reason why they hired Zack Snyder in the first place; for his action expertise. Say what you want about "Sucker Punch", it did have some impressive action set pieces. Come to think of it, that is all I have to say about "Sucker Punch".

Here's hoping Snyder and company don't sucker punch us with celluloid Kryptonite when "Superman Man of Steel" mans up in theaters in 2013.

Awesome Pickup Lines For Guys

Yeah, I know my postings can be sporadic.  To make it up to you, let me offer a public service in the form of a list of pick up lines guys can use on the fairer sex. (Disclaimer: Not responsible for any form of physical/mental/financial punishment incurred by usage of this material)  Other than that, have fun!

Could I have your boyfriend's phone number?  Wow, is that a picture of him on your phone?  He's really hot.  Would you introduce me?

Until I met you this was an amazingly f***** up day.

Your cleavage reminds me of the Grand Canyon.

I'd like to spank you with a car antenna.  Oops, sorry.  I was thinking out loud.

If you were a sleeping pill, I'd OD on you and never again wake up to this cruel, vicious world.  This is a cry for help, by the way.

You might as well give yourself to me now and save us both a lot of trouble.

You're so sweet you give my cavities cavities!

Your body should be registered as a lethal weapon.

I give you permission to use my body as a sex toy.

You're so beautiful.  Are you real or a figment of my imagination?  It's tough for me to tell because I'm on so many illegal drugs.

You know, being incredibly rich and well-endowed doesn't mean much when all you have to go home to is a fabulous mansion and a blow-up plastic sex doll.  Her name is Annie.  I think she's stealing from me.  I'm not weird.

And an all-time favorite ...

Hey baby, let's play house.  You be the screen door and I'll slam you all night long!

There you go.  Now don't say I never did anything for you (or to you, for that matter).  Let me know how these lines work.  Did you get lucky?  If so, I'll consider imposing royalties and licensing fees for using this stuff. Now that would be awesome!
