Teen Comedies Shed a Tear: The Death of John Hughes

Posted on August 6, 2009 by Tyler Schirado

R.I.P. 1950-2009

An end of the man, the myth and the legend, Mr. John Hughes has passed away today. Hughes has written such classic 80’s films such as Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and the screenplays for the Vacation franchise. His other classics consist of the entire Home Alone franchise, Uncle Buck, and Miracle on 34the Street screenplay. He was in the park in NYC on a walk this morning when he went into cardiac arrest. This marks a sad day for film writers everywhere who were inspired by Hughes’ classic hits. Without Hughes we probably wouldn’t have films like Superbad, American Pie, Road Trip, and beyond. His writing style will live on forever through his films and will always be remembered for the works that he has done. So shed a tear you 80’s teens who grew up on John Hughes films as you rebelled against the norm and wore paint on your overalls

blog+scribbles

Here we go with some quick notes again. Quick Notes are articles and blips that I do not feel on typing out full news that could just be viewed in shorts because there is just not enough time in the day to possibly touch on everything in full. They are all just a bunch of random hooblah of sorts that fell into this little section of fun and goodness after the jump: Stories of Pirates 4, Transformers 3, TMNT, and more!

The Tron Legacy concept footage shown at the San Diego Comic Con has now been added to Flynn Lives and can be viewed RIGHT HERE . You can view it below while it’s still on YouTube until taken down most likely, but the site is reliable. On the site is Hi-Def.

Tron Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

Teehee: Can You Hear It Now? It’s Your Privacy Leaving You

zug prank

According to The Washington Post, you have never had the safety of privacy even with an unlisted number. All your personal data is floating around: where you live, your number, your call record, and everything else is all up for sale on the Internet!!! OOhhhhh Dun dun dunnnnn……Zug.com has taken advantage of this news and decided to prank the CEO’s of Verizon. They registered on a free cell phone record site and looked up the top 3 CEO’s of Verizon. Only one was found due to the uniqueness of his name, but everything was listed. Ivan Seidenberg’s information was found within just about three minutes and the prank had began. John Hardgrave from Zug decided to visit Mr. Seidenberg and yell into a loudspeaker and deliver a message on behalf of all Verizon customers. Unfortunately there was no response, but the video outcome was pretty funny and he was chased away by his neighbors dog. Check out the video hereeeeee………

Flynn’s Arcade – TRON 2 Viral Marketing Begins

Posted on July 22, 2009 by Tyler Schirado

So if you went to Comic Con you might have gotten some Flynn’s Arcade tokens. This is just the first step to the viral marketin campaign that is Tron 2. Wellllll this series of events have led people to FlynnLives.com and HomeOfTron.com. If you click on the bouncing spider on the bottom of FL you’ll get a countdown to something unknown obviously. There is also a message that read:

“Meet us at the cul de sac near the corner
of 1st and J when the numbers run out.
You’ll know who we are.”

If my math is correct tomorrow at 11:30 PM you should go to that cul de sac on 1st and J wherever that is and meet some people. Could this be another Dark Knight like campaign? Could be? I love viral marketing thought, but not too sure if I am excited for this movie………

Silly Humans, Gas is for Autobots

Posted on July 20, 2009 by Tyler Schirado

So apparently a 14 year old kid has been drinking gasoline the last five years to gain “energy” to be more like his pals the Autobots the Sichuan-based West China Metropolis Daily reported yesterday. It started off light by stealing lighters from his parents grocery stall and drinking the fuel casually. After a stern scolding, he later evolved into drinking his parents gasoline from their motorcycle to become a more “valient fighter” just like Optimus Prime. They tried locking up their garage, but later found that their neighbors gas was mysteriously missing. Doctors had reported that his IQ has been dropping dramatically and he can no longer do simple math such as 7 plus 17. There is a high percentage of lead in the gas that can deter brain growth especially in the time of his physical growth development stage. He is now considered to have a mental disorder with a case of “gasoline dependence.”
