Oscar Time!

Now that the summer blockbusters are over, movies are coming out that rely more on hilarity or tears rather than explosions or t&a. One example is Black Dynamite, which I may have mentioned before and is coming to Chicago this Friday. Another movie is Zombieland. Don’t wanna say too much about rather than you should just see it. And stay till after the credits. Here’s the red band trailer:

That song in the beginning of the trailer is pretty cool, right? Apparently it’s from a Johnny Cash Remix album. The concept doesn’t sound like something I would like, but the three songs I found at in ALL caps from it are really good. And if you like good songs being raped by remixers like I do, check out the remix of Mr Sandman from this scene is dead and Whip It.

Here are a couple things to brighten up your day.  Via Berkeley Place:

This dance video is for Ellen: I saw it at Bally’s and is one of those songs that is only good because the video is hilarious:

Marge Simpson is going to be on the cover and have a centerfold in Playboy.

Also via Pop Candy, For those who liked Shit My Dad Says, here is something that proves to be just as hilarious: Tracy Morgan Twitter: “my dickhead is shaped liked a darth vadar helmet. my dick is so fat it looks like r2d2.”

Rock-y Road!?!

On the topic of video games, lots of things have been going on in the Rock Band/Guitar Hero universe, for those who care:

  • There has been some controversy about the use of Kurt Cobain in the recent Guitar Hero 5. It’s not because he is a character you can play in the new game, but because he can be unlocked and used to play songs by other people, like Flavor Flav or Third Eye Blind. This has led to Courtney Love threatening to sue, Activision showing her signature on the contracts allowing it, and the rest of Nirvana and Nirvana fans being upset with both.
  • I was curious for the reasoning behind Lego Star Wars or Lego Indiana Jones, but Lego Rock Band? Really?
  • Have you heard of DJ Hero?  The controller and whole idea seems kinda ridiculous, but it would be interesting to hear some of the songs from the tracklist.  Considering how popular old classic rock songs became after they were featured in Guitar Hero, it would be funny to see if mixing and real dj-ing became more popular.  I can just imagine a the lunchroom/basement of a catholic grade school full of 12 year old club-heads and a spikey haired dj with two vinyl turntables and ski goggles for an Valentines dance.

And if all of this is too much for you, check out Rock Sellout for a mixtape of songs from a simpler time.
