Box Office Battlefield: Percy Jackson, The wolfman, and Valentine’s Day

Ohhh boy, Valentine’s Day weekend is here and of course there are mushy gushy movies for you to enjoy with your significant other, or maybe by yourself while you’re crying in the corner of the theater…… Either way there are some interesting movies that might grab your attention this weekend, but may leave you feeling empty like that heart shaped box of chocolates that you bought that one girl who ended up having a boyfriend and then you devoured them later that night with a box of tissues with the lights off watching Never Been Kissed……

2010 Academy Award Nominated Best Animated Short – Logorama

One of the Oscar-nominated films, Logorama, for the best animated short has popped up online. It is pretty cool and would only assume that it has at least over 1,000 different logos from all sorts of areas in it. Written and directed by the French team of François Alaux and Herve de Crecy, this little film took a few years to create.

I’m guessing due to copyright laws and hunting down the right people to be able to use the logos. And the animation itself is pretty neatly done. There are so many logos in this, one could assume that it is flooded with so many brands that it is trying to tell us that we are bombarded with so much crap these days that it just destroys and desensitizes us. Clíché? Maybe? That’s probably too obvious that it’s right. You are probably calling me an idiot and saying, DUH, right now.

Check it out after the jump!

Dear John Takes Down Avatar?!

Kind of late news, but the fact that Dear John took down the mighty Avatar this past weekend makes me happy and sad. Happy because Avatar is finally not number one, but sad because Dear John didn’t seem like a really good movie to bring down the titan. Oh well…Jimmy Cameron is probably not pleased. I would have thought that a Avatar would have been taken down this weekend with The Wolfman, Valetine’s Day, and Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Theif. Those seem like some big money making films, but Dear John? Really? That movie didn’t seem like it would be that good, but I take it girls wanted something for them and sick of blue alien romance. Dear John managed to take in around $30 million as Avatar only got $23 million. Ca-ca-ca-curazy! Avatar will hopefully and most likely never be #1 again in the box office as the upcoming weekends look pretty slick. Valentine’s Day is my prediction for top earner this weekend since obviously it is Single’s Awareness Day………

Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland Character Posters!

MTV got an exclusive premier of two new character posters for Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland. These posters feature the Cheshire Cat (voiced by Stephen Fry) and the White Rabbit (voiced by Michael Sheen). Pretty cool looking if I do say so myself. Enjoy.


TeeHee: Lost vs. Avatar

The “comic” strip basically explains it all. It has been flooding the Internets and taking it by storm. It is quite hilarious and I guess you might need to watch Lost to understand this, but maybe not? Just ask a Lost nerd to explain it to you if you can’t understand:

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards Nominations
