News for Wednesday: Underwear, and Underhanded Unions

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

* So much for singing in a church choir! Today’s big reveal is that Katy Perry once got secretly married (?!), just to upset her folks. Oh, teenage rebellion! How cute!

* In unnecessary-exposure news: Mrs. “Posh Spice” Beckham is now appearing on a 20-foot banner in NYC for Armani Underwear. I believe we’ve already seen enough, no?

* Hot on the tail of Wolverine (or claws, as the case may be), word is that Deadpool (played in the movie by Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds) is getting his own movie spin-off. This could be hilarious, and hopefully not hilariously lame, like SOME people. I’m talking to you, Hugh Jackman.

* SOMEONE is getting a little too into his day job: Kiefer Sutherland headbuts a dude! This is neither 24 nor the world cup, Kief.

* The 90’s get a little clearer every day: Our Lady Peace are releasing a new album. I hope it’ll be awesome and not just another retro-throwback (*ahem-sugar-ray-reunion-ahem*).

News for Monday: Angry Animals Issue

Monday, May 4th, 2009

* Surprise surprise, Wolverine tore up the box-office (with its adamantium claws) this weekend. I hear from reliable sources that the whole thing is kinda generic, though. Hmm.

* Nickleback’s Chad Kroeger is getting sued for punching another dude in the mouth. I’d make a joke about how the guy was probably insulting Chad’s band… but I think it’s implied.

* Demi Moore is stepping up to defend Madonna against media flack for dating a younger man. Which doesn’t make any sense: cougars don’t travel in packs.

* Next on ‘When Animals Attack’, I mean, also in news: Grizzly Bear wants to hunt down Snoop Dogg in Tennessee… to collaborate. Clearly, this was the only logical step from the Bear-Cat song.

* Coldplay are being accused of having plagiarized their song “Viva La Vida”. Yes, once again. The big question: can you plagiarize the same thing from three different people?

* Sugar Ray are going to be releasing a new album soon. Yeah, big deal: so are Spinal Tap. Honestly, I am more excited about the news from the joke band than this other band who sorta became a joke.

Wolverine? More Like Wolveranus.

Monday, May 4th, 2009

050409-wolverine

Ok jerks, who saw Wolverine this past weekend and contributed to the $87 million haul? *Raises hand* I went on Friday and was surprised to find I was watching a comedy. Maybe it was unintentional, but me and Shin Cup laughed our way through the whole movie.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty awful.

The good news is .. at least it was entertaining. And it was nowhere near as horrible as X-Men 3. And for you girl types who like your men hunky, there’s a fair amount of naked Hugh Jackman and brooding Taylor Kitsch. For you girl types who like your men attractive, you may enjoy the Ryan Reynolds and Daniel Henney. But this is not about the dreamboats, this is about the action.

Wolverine was not short on fights and explosions, but I think I’m a little sick of wire work and overused one-liners (”let’s do this.”). I would recommend bringing a flask of over-sugared slushy and play the Action Cliche drinking game — go nuts when you see overused plot points such as: man walking away from explosion, fight on roof, men fighting and then falling through glass, bad child actor, group fight with men circling protagonists. You get it.

Who else saw Wolverine? Thoughts?
