Oh man! I had no idea the Dinosaurs were originally supposed to talk in Jurassic Park!
AMAZING!
Curse you, Steven Spielberg, for stealing this landmark achievement in reptiles in cinema from a starved movie going public.

Here’s a weird one!
Apparently the rights holders for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise are looking to move forward with a new movie version of the character, this time without the writing (and related universe) created by Joss Whedon.
Now, let’s ignore the fact that this is another retarded instance of the remake crazy suits in Hollywood missing the fact that they can release a film with a similar concept without using the name of an established franchise.
Instead, I’d like to address the fandom raging at a Buffy project moving forward without Whedon.
…you guys ever think that maybe, just maybe, Whedon was asked about this project? And he doesn’t want to do it?
It’s bad enough that a second season of the dull Dollhouse is due to hit Fox this year, right after Whedon talking about how he’d rather do more original projects in the vein of Dr. Horrible…
But you dudes really want him to write a movie about characters who’s story he finished five years ago?
Food for thought.

You’ve got the touch…
You’ve got the poooweeeeerrrrrrr
YEAH!
Start to sing that to any child of the 80s, and they’ll immediately chime in, as it’s the opening lines of the song “The Touch”, by Stan Bush.
Made famous in the original, animated Transformers movie, it’s arguably one of the seminal songs of the current nerd generation.
So of course, with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hitting theaters, they had to remake it, right?
Set your ears for dissapointment, as the 2009 version of “The Touch” is slow tempoed, and Linkin Park-esq, right down to a bootleg version of your standard “white, maybe asian?” rapper dude.
Holy shit does this suck. Click play in the YouTube video above to hate your life. Happy Friday!
EDIT – 4:05PM: Just found out something that either makes this more hysterical, or far sadder…this isn’t officially in Transformers 2, yet. Bush made the song and the video for quote, “hopeful consideration for Michael Bay’s ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.’” Oh man. Stan, what happened, man?
I really hoped that this one would pan out to be an April Fool’s gag, but unfortunately, no, this is real.
Announced at the end of Sony’s press conference at ShoWest (the yearly trade show for movie theater owners), is that the Men in Black franchise will be returning for a third installment, currently scheduled for Summer 2011.
This announcement came as a shock basically, well, everyone in the industry, as literally nothing is signed. Just a set date. Jones? Not signed. Smith? Not signed. Writer? Nope. Director? Hell naw.
What really bugs me about this is that the movie, like most summer blockbusters, is instead being put together with a date in mind, as opposed to letting the film develop naturally. And honestly, does anyone really want a 3rd Men in Black film? I really enjoyed the first film, but the sequel was so terrible that the only enjoyment I ever derived from it was it’s theme song “Black Suits Comin’”, which appeared hilariously on an ex-girlfriend’s mixtape. Aside from that moment of comedy, MiB2 sucked, and I can’t see 3 being much better.
Sony, you’re putting an unnecessary threequel out in a summer filled with Spider-Man, Harry Potter, Captain America and your own Ghostbusters relaunch. Good freaking luck.

Based on the large number of hits that came in when I posted the original Daily Show vs. CNBC clip, there were quite a few of you that wanted to see what happened.
In turn, I give you the followup, as Jon Stewart takes Jim Cramer to task, in 3 bits of tasty video.
I’d offer my own take here, but when there are so many better analyses of the video, I figure it best to just let the experts handle it. Either way, it’s worth a watch.
Hey there, Studio Heads.
It’s Me, Marty.
Don’t know me? It’s OK. I’m just a humble blogger here at Blast-O-Rama.com, who follows your every move, equality praising you and vilifying you on a regular basis.
Anywho, I hear you’re now looking at rebooting The Fantastic Four (according to the link below, that is).
That sounds awesome! I mean, the Fantastic Four has long been a fun, family based adventure comic, and let’s be honest, the two movies sort of got everything wrong.
Basically, you just need to ape the ending of The Incredibles, give us a fun opening origin sequence, and get us ready for more rollicking adventures, and I’ll be there.
Here’s your problems. In order…
1. It’s too god damn soon. Fantastic Four 2 came out just TWO years ago. We didn’t forget, no matter how badly we want to forget that movie. This WILL hurt you.
2. You have no real “plan”. The master plan is to be “less bubble gum” and more like Iron Man and The Dark Knight. This shows you have NO idea what you’re doing. BUBBLE GUM IS THE FANTASTIC FOUR. Hell, Iron Man is a rollicking fun adventure. But to say you want to do it like The Dark Knight? FANTASTIC FOUR IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE DARK. DARK MOVIES DON’T EQUAL MONEY. A GOOD movie equals money. A Dark Knight-esq Daredevil? Awesome idea. A Dark Knight-esq Moon Knight? Awesome idea. An INCREDIBLES-esq Fantastic Four? That’s more like it.
3. Don’t cast stars, cast characters. Look at those prior FF movies…name actors, and barely a one fit (Chris Evans as Human Torch, that’s about it). Find us the team equivalent of Downey as Iron Man, and we’ll be talking.
Please, just if you bother…wait a few years, and make it worth waiting for.
Thanks gang.
