Personally, one of my favorite musicians, Andrew McMahon (frontman of Something Corporate), has announced the end of Jack’s Mannequin. As this may rock the foundations of pop punk culture as we know it, the piano rock group will not go without a fond farewell to their fans. The Third Annual Dear Jack Benefit will be hosted at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles with one unannounced show to follow due to fast selling pre-sale tickets. Continue reading
While watching the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, one of the most surprisingly hilarious and racy commercials aired that featured a little boy walking in on his parents, as we as the viewers are to assume are bumping uglies. When they coined the term, “sex sells,” I’m not exactly sure pasta sauce was ever considered.
Ragú, one of the many brands under Unilever Food’s supervision, took a big leap of faith to debut this commercial, especially during such a monumental event like the Olympics. The “Long Day of Childhood” campaign composed by the BFG 9000 agency (Barton F. Graf 9000) – although his name creates BFG, I’m sure he thought he was clever referencing the video game Doom – sparked major controversy, but I consider it one of the best commercials ever.

The day has come, Glee season 4 begins today. Rachel Berry is starting her new life in New York City, Kurt appears to be stuck in Lima, and we’ll get to see where we left everyone else after their big win at the end of Season 3. New faces will be introduced, frenemies will be made, and “Call Me Maybe” will even become even more annoying that it already is. If you’ve re-watched all three seasons and still cannot get enough Glee in your life before tonight’s premiere, boy do I have a treat for you. After the break, get your first look at Glee season 4.

I love these damn anthropormorphic hamsters that it just drives me insane. Perhaps it’s because these commercials are just so awesome or maybe it’s because my mother told me when I was seven that my pet hamster “ran away” and I envision he turned into a break dancing brand mascot? Either way, what Kia Motors is doing for the Soul is just a wonderful thing right here. It’s been a year since we last saw these guys, let’s see what they’re up to now. Continue reading
There comes a time when all pilgrims must reach the end of their journey. We are only eight, EIGHT episodes away until the Breaking Bad saga is complete. It’s been a long, hard journey for not just the characters of the story, but the fans as well who have followed the incredibly insane hijinks of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. One fan has created the most epic of epic retrospective videos that focus on the life of Walter White and his transformation from bumbling chemistry teacher to the great Heisenberg. Continue reading
Sixteen! We have now reached sixteen teaser trailers for American Horror Story: Asylum, not including the two character teasers.This madness has to be stopped! Seriously. Yes, these newest teasers, “Hellevator,” “Slipping,” and “Veiled” are a lot better than the last five, but has FX ever heard of the phrase, “too much of a good thing”? I honestly was joking about promoting a new teaser until the second season premiered, which would be over 30 teasers in all, but the creators behind the show seem to be doing just that. Oh and did I mention, we have been given a new character poster as well! Take a gander at the new teasers after the jump. Continue reading
Now I know what you’re thinking, Glee? That’s right, I have a soft spot for those wacky kids who get themselves into shenanigans, struggle through teen angst, and solve their problems through song. Season 4 of Glee begins this week, believe it or not, and FOX has so kindly been delivering fans wonderful teaser posters of all the characters. The countdown began two weeks before the premiere date of Thursday, September 13, and there are still three posters left. Check out the first eleven posters after the break, which include some new faces to this season! Continue reading
There were a lot of high expectations coming into the 2012 summer movie season. With high adrenaline fueled adventures, a new Pixar movie, a few remake and sequels along with comedies galore, this summer wasn’t looking too shabby. Among the vast ocean of summer blockbuster films, there were a few unexpected titles that stood out and some that hit the mark as as predicted. After the jump you’ll find out what eight films I adored this summer. Continue reading
Monsters, Inc. 3D is becoming frightfully more real as the end of the year draws near. I for one would preferably rather see The Incredibles post converted into 3D because of the more action-y, visual elements in that film, but we’ll just have to suffice with Monsters, Inc. for now. The first trailer has appeared online for your viewing pleasure. Are you ready to go back to Monstropolis? Continue reading
The day of seeing cat videos on television on a daily basis are about to end. Today it was announced that NBC Universal, owners of G4, would be rebranding the network from geek to chic. This new rebranding effort looks to position the station with an emphasis of a more upscale gentleman’s channel – with content and a feel that you would find in GQ. What began in April of 2002, as a gaming channel, evolved into one of the leading aggregates of geek pop culture, technology, gaming, and memes on the boob tube and the Internets. It is a sad day for nerd culture my friends. Continue reading
