DEFENDING ‘SOUTH PARK.’ Thoughts on Season 15 Episode 7: “YOU’RE GETTING OLD.”

The last shot of the (mid) season. "Things have changed."

NOTE: This article is spoiler filled. If you haven’t seen the latest episode titled: “You’re Getting Old” then ye have been warned…

A lot of ‘South Park’ fans consider 2010 a pretty hit and miss year for the show. Many of them consider the current 2011 series unwatchable. While I don’t think it’s been horrid (far from it) I have noticed a decline in quality, but I think that it’s been slight, and that comparatively ‘South Park’ still remains one of the best shows on Television. And if anything, the belief that the show sucks seems to only be distorted perceptions, but more on that after the jump: Read more…

Afterthoughts: Super 8 and Cultural Significance

super-8-movie

To say that Super 8 is an important film is probably a bit of a stretch. To say however that the themes within Super 8 are culturally significant and representative of that time period is a much better way of applauding the film’s efforts. A thought that has been crossing my mind after coming out of the film is how relatable those kids are to those of us who grew up in the 80’s and early 90’s. But what about those in a post-millennium period who have only started to explore the vast cultures and myriads of kids entertainment. Read more…

VIDEO: New ‘TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON’ actress Rosie Huntington Whitely Tops Maxim 100 Sexiest Women. See What Michael Bay Thinks About it!

Rosie Huntington Whitely replaced Megan Fox as the ‘go-to-go-bot-babe’ in the newest entry in the ‘Transformers’ franchise: ‘Dark Of The Moon.’

The big question so many are asking is whether she is hotter than Megan Fox? (No-one seems to be asking if she can act? This I wouldn’t blame on anti-women mentality, but rather on a lack of good acting in any of the franchise’s films.) But hey, the acting isn’t really that bad in the series and this new movie looks more in line with the quality of the first movie; rather than the second movie. Read more after the jump…. Read more…

The articles contain graphic images (NUDITY and GORE) from the franchise – and viewer discretion is advised. Read more…
