Entertainment Musings

I was surfing the Sugar network, and came across this post….I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in awhile.

It’s a “privacy scarf”, and it’s something I’ve possibly imagined at some point, I just never thought someone would actually consider fabricating the thing, or even considering wearing a real on in public.

Thoughts?

So I just found yet another blog to add to the list of my dailies.

BuzzSugar (and their family of blogs as well) is an entertainment blog, but also seems to have a built-in community feature.  Very cool.  I also like how clean the pages look, and it sure seems like there’s a bunch of useful information.

Look for “Via” links to this page starting today….

After the release of these latest one sheets for Transformers, I think I can officially say I’m psyched to see Optimus Prime in action…..seriously, sweetness. The second one is Megatron.

Apparently these guys are going to show up in USA Today, tomorrow.

::POSSIBLE SPOILERS LIE AHEAD::

This LOST episode IMO looks to kick some serious ass. I say Locke is psycho, and i’ve never liked his whole “talk to the island” bit…but all in all, his back story seems pretty interesting.  I heard a rumor once that Locke was paralyzed by the deck that Hurley collapsed…but i tend to believe that Locke has seen some serious action…the dude at the box company called him Commander Locke…and eyepatches from the past week knows him…so we shall, see, that is my only prediction for this week though, that Locke has seen some action in the ARmy or some sort of undercover action hero sort of thing.  The reunion with jack should be interesting as well…i mean, last week’s final second tease was imo HILARIOUS…but, I believe that Jack is still just playing along….anyways, tune in and find out for yourself..laters!

TMNT-  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles returns to the big screen this weekend….I was a fan of this back in the late 80’s/early 90’s….have to say I want to see this one, even if it is computer animation….it could turn out to be lame, but i usually predict Box Office numbers to be the opposite of the Rottentomatoes.com rankings….Hopefully the plot isn’t too ridiculous, but its rated PG and should have at least 2 good weeks.  I predict 24 million in ticket sales this weekend.

Shooter-  This looks like an interesting choice as well.  I’m a Mark Wahlberg fan, at least i have been for the past few years.  Antione Fuqua is directing this one…i haven’t seen Training Day, but everything he’s done since then has been a letdown, maybe this one can get him back on track…I’m predicting about 19 million from Shooter this weekend…

 All of the other releases this weekend aren’t worth writing about….but i predict the following Box Office Numbers:

TMNT- 24 Mill

Shooter- 19 Million

300-  18.5 Million

Wild Hogs-13.6 Million

Premonition- 11 Million

The Last Mimzy-10 million

Reign Over Me- 6 Million

Pride-4.5 Million

All you HSX’ers (hsx.com) enjoy these predictions.

I found these new character posters to be pretty cool. This is looking to be a sleeper movie this summer. I’m not sure there’s many people who realize it’s coming out.

The pictures came from a Russian web site, and I’ve provided a link in case you want to see the full versions. The full versions should also show up if you click the thumbnails below.

Below is a link to an interview with Shia LaBeouf….which I still am not sure how to pronounce…but anyway….

In interviews like this, they make him seem all nice and have a squeaky clean image.

I’d really like to know how many swear words were edited out of this interview.

Overall, I thought this episode was just average.

The flashbacks were simply of Claire and a car crash she was in that killed her mother. Over the course of the episode, Claire learns of a “mystery” caretaker who is paying the bills for her mother’s care, even though it may be for not. Turns out this mystery man is none other than Jack’s Dad…and, the shocker that everyone saw coming…he’s Claire’s dad too!

Honestly, I’ve figured this was the answer they would give. I was desperately hoping for some miracle switch and have it be someone else, but in the end, it’s good to finally tie up this loose end. I will like to see the reaction when Jack and Claire meet back up again.

It almost seemed like a forced answer…sure, fans have been clamoring for it, but it sure seems like it would have or could have been done much earlier.

I was disappointed in this week’s lack of Sawyer-isms, but I’m sure he will come back full force later. The meat of this episode was the trek to “The Barracks”.

It was still hard to tell what eyepatch’s motives really were…. I really do believe he was telling Kate the truth, and that scene where he rattled through their names was pretty cool. The camera shots really added to the scene. I really wish we could confirm if he’s really dead or not. I suppose blood spewing (literally) from the ears is probably a decent indicator, but you never know.

The Sayid and Locke banter was hilarious I thought….when Locke was said “Sorry” after chunking eyepatch into the tesla coils, I thought he might add to the statement by saying how sorry he was for being an idiot….or dumb.

Lastly, the 30 seconds at the end were totally a great setup….Jack is running straight for Kate, only it turns out he’s going deep for a pass from Tom…..Jack, freely roaming in “The Barracks” playing football with their sworn enemies……This is just getting started.

Locke-centric next week, and it promises to answer why Locke was in a wheelchair…..I sense a showdown brewing between the search party and the Others…..Can’t wait!

Tonight for me consists of the lone episode of Lost.   It’s Claire-centric.

Lost-”Par Avion”    I hear this time around Claire concocts some plan to get off the island, but Charlie interferes and goes into freak out mode.  We’ll see….. I swear if he says the words “where’s the baby?” in any form, I’ll go crazy.  On the other side of the island, Sayid and Locke apparently won’t be getting along…probably it will consist of Sayid calling Locke an idiot for entering 77 and making the communication dish explode, and Locke fighting back by saying the island told him to do it.   Either way, I did hear that there may be some big reveal about the Russian (”eyepatch”).  I might totally be imagining I heard it though.

Check my other post about Ask Ausiello, because he has some good scoop about the episodes coming up in the next couple weeks.

Ask Ausiello is a little light on the good information this week, but I still say you should check it out.

Apparently he’s going to start posting Vodcasts (it really is a word!)

It’s a fairly entertaining weekly read…right up there with TV Squad Daily w/ Brigette. Linkage below.
