Good bands to play lame Hot Topic stores for Twilight promo

By now, everybody knows about the OMZGAWESOME soundtrack for the next Twilight movie that includes the likes of Death Cab For Cutie, Bon Iver, Radiohead, et al. But what you might NOT have known were plans to have said artists tour Hot Topic stores to promote the thing. The New York […]

Death Cab’s new song for the Twilight movie

This whole situation seems really shady to me. The soundtrack for the new Twilight movie includes the likes of Death Cab For Cutie, Radiohead, Muse and Bon Iver. Although they’re all very stereotypical downtrodden “indie” bands, it’s still a pretty stellar lineup for an awful movie about teenage vampires. If you pre-order the […]

“72 Musicians” showcases musicians’ awesome and sucky lives

Remember that time you got hammered at a concert only to see the band was more drunk than you were?? Me neither, I was too wasted. But the point is, I’m sure it’s happened to all of us, maybe suspecting the artists are playing on crack or ‘shrooms or just plain Vitamin Water, though […]

One Good Man: The happy Mormon movie you’ve been waiting for!

This is a big step, you guys. And I don’t even mean that in a snarky way! Mormons don’t really have a lot of legit movies come out, and this one looks legit! Good for them. I’m happy, progress and togetherness, ya know? But there’s a problem with this movie and it’s […]

Transformers 2 makes The Worst Soundtrack of 2009

I don’t like to judge people on their music taste. If you happen to love Billy Joel and only Billy Joel, that’s fine! You’re not a bad person! He’s very talented, I just don’t like him. But that doesn’t mean I can’t judge bad music itself, and especially executives who put together compilations […]

Avatar looks less than good (bad?)

James Cameron’s Avatar has had high expectations. Since it’s his first movie since Titanic, everybody’s all “It’ll be great. Oscars all around.” So we finally get a look at the masterpiece today and it looks… bad? I hate to say it, but what the hell is going on? The man who […]

New Where the Wild Things Are trailer will give you nostalgia, chills

Wheeeeeeee! Trailer number 2 for the upcoming movie adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, directed by Spike Jonze (Adaptation, Being John Malkovich) and due out October 16th, has just hit the interwebs.

This one doesn’t have the same ohmygodmonsters feel to it, most likely because we’ve already gotten a small taste […]

The Fantastic Mr. Fox trailer is here and sufficiently quirky

For those worried that Wes Anderson’s first foray into animation would curb his distinctive quirk, well, stop being worried because this trailer is pretty much drowning in it. That’s right – his Fantastic Mr. Fox trailer hit the internet today, and it has all the wit and Bill Murray you could ever ask for.

Why is the new Alice In Wonderland trailer not exciting?

Look, I love Tim Burton. And Johnny Depp. I’m not going to lie to you guys, I’m on the boat with all those Hot Topic teens to Burton/Depp island full of colorful, twisted landscapes and friendly, scissor-handed creatures. So when I finally got a chance to watch the trailer to the duo’s […]
