Now On My Shitlist: Roland Emmerich.

It takes a lot for me to want to make a filmmaker to go away and die.

The latest to enter that very short list, Roland Emmerich.

Sure, I like a lot of people, enjoyed Independence Day. It was a fun, escapist Fourth of July flick. I even liked Stargate!

But since then, oh how his filmography just wore through my patience.

Godzilla. The Patriot. The Day After Tomorrow. 10,000 BC. And now the sure to be bad 2012, along with the possible 2013 TV series which has the bile touching the back of my throat.

So of course, he’ll now want to ruin the main thing of his I liked.

As he wants to do an Independence Day sequel. Wait, no, two of them. Because lord knows, we can’t NOT have at trilogy.

And the tiles for these sequels?

ID4-Ever Part I & II.

I’m gonna puke. Happy weekend folks.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Trailer Is AMAZING

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles for the Wii isn’t really that jaw dropping of a game.

A light gun styled retread through the Resident Evil universe, the game is probably going to fall off of people’s radars.

However, a great way to keep people involved? Awesome marketing.

Prime example is the game trailer, which is up at GameTrailers.com. All I can say is, the trailer is done in a way unlike most which have come before it.

Just click the link, authorize your age, and click play. Trust me.

New Coke Can Design Would Have Me Drinking Soda Again!

So, last April, after some extensive dental work, which has continued into today, I gave up soda for the most part.  I’ve gone from drinking it literally daily, to drinking it on very rare occasions.

I can say honestly, however, if Coca-Cola moved towards using a can design like this Concept design, I’d grab a 12 pack in a heartbeat.

With an embossed logo, each of these cans look great, without the effort of a single color.  If I had to guess though, Coke would turn it down for not using their trademark red/white color scheme.

Oh, to dream of what could be.

The Great Jon Hamm Debate

Late last week on Twitter, I postulated a rather important question for those of us in nerd kind.

The question…

Would Jon Hamm Make a Great Superman?

In response to that, my old internet buddy e. sent along an image created in his office after JUST such a debate!

As you can see, he looks great with heat vision.

But today, thanks to a link from the always awesome artist Dean Trippe, I’m conflicted. The link contained this image.

So now I go to you internet…

Jon Hamm: Better Batman…or Superman?

You make the call, interweb! Leave your thoughts in the comments.

What Was The Ending? WORRY NO MORE!

Lost In Translation.

The Wrestler.

No Country for Old Men.

What do these movies all have in common, aside from being some of the best films of the past decade?

They all have super ambiguous endings.

Luckily, the crack video staff at College Humor have worked diligently to pull the true endings from these, and other films off of the cutting room floor, and finally, we can have some closure.

What movie ending would you most want to see explained?
