and none for cloud atlas. bye.
The Oscar nominations this year are 90% expected, with a couple of nice surprises sprinkled about. And by a couple I literally mean 2. 2 nice surprises in an otherwise by the books boring set of nominations.
Also at this point, I think it’s safe to say that the Academy HATES Leonardo DiCaprio for no discernible reason.
Here is the full list, with my picks in bold.
Best Picture:

So this just popped up on my facebook feed. At first I was like, “gotta be fake. Too good to be true.”
And then I wiki’d:
During a 2012 questionnaire on Reddit, Genndy Tartakovsky stated that a new Powerpuff Girls series is underway.Ringo Starr of The Beatles fame revealed that he had recorded voices for a new character in the series for its relaunch planned for premiere in...

12 for '12 (film)
2012 was a solid year in film for me. Lots of really fun big blockbusters that were actually worth the hype, some great ‘event’ flicks, some really fun original IPs (which is awesome, considering 2011 holds the record for most sequels and franchise releases EVER), and it was a SPECTACULAR year for animation junkies like me.
Some notes about my end of the year round up for film:...

Excuse me while I hyperventilate in a corner. James Franco and Travis Mathews are teaming up to recreate the lost 40 minutes of one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE grindhouse era flicks, Cruising!?!?!?!
Cruising was very controversial for its time, but I personally adore it. It’s like if Tarantino made a gay-themed slasher flick. And who doesn’t love a movie where sexy ass Al Pacino cruises...

One Piece + Avril = wait wut
via ANN
The use of not one, but two, Avril Lavigne songs as the next One Piecefilm’s theme songs came about after One Piece manga creator Eiichiro Oda sent Lavigne a letter. Lavigne, a well-known Japanophile, had agreed to the offer from the One Piece Film Z’s producers to contribute a song.
This isn’t the first time Avril has crossed paths with the Otaku world:

Seth + Reezy
How much do I love my fave Seth MacFarlane impersonating Ryan Lochte’s fine ass adorable self?
Overall the season premiere of SNL was pretty solid. The best sketches were easily the ones with Seth, the clear winner being the puppet sketch. I was happy to see Jay Pharaoh finally getting some screen time. The political sketches are still waring on me, but it’s election season so...

Versus XIII NOT cancelled, i call conspiracy
Turns out the internet just got all crazy for nothing. Final Fantasy Versus XIII is *not* cancelled, according to Square Enix president Yoichi Wada:
“ヴェルサスがキャンセルされたってデマ流してるやつがいるらしい。ﾌﾌ..たった今ヴェルサス定例会議が終わったとこ。今日プレゼンされた街なんぞ見たら腰抜かすでぇ～w”
Which basically translates to: “I heard Versus got cancelled. lol. I just left a meeting for it and it looks amazeballs. lol”

Final Fantasy Versus XIII is rumored to be...
After six year of development and barely anything to show for it, save for this glorious trailer, rumor has it Final Fantasy Versus XIII is being quietly cancelled and its resources moved to other projects.
After how atrocious Final Fantasy XIII and XIV were, this game was proving to be my last hope for the franchise to turn itself around and get back to being the industry standard for JRPGs.

tomboy princess...presumably does stuff.
So, me being a Disney-raised cartoon-loving man-child it almost goes without saying that I am excited for Disney/Pixar’s upcoming film Brave.
What’s not to love? There’s a spunky ginger lead. A female lead, Pixar’s first, no less. There’s some gorgeous animation on display. Protagonist Merida’s hair gives Rapunzel’s a run for its money. It’s...

Anyone mind if I do a little tumblr-venting? I’m more amused with this story than I am upset by it. And I feel like sharing it:
This morning I caught the M-line to go downtown to do my show. So I’m sitting there when this seemingly normal mid-20s girl in a red jacket came and sat next to me. She was reading a style magazine and minding her own business. Nothing out of the ordinary.

So last Friday my boyfriend and I went to see John Carter, Disney’s new sci-fantasy epic. The film is the live action debut from director Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, Wall-E) and is based on the flawless Edgar Rice Burrough’s Martian novel series. It stars Taylor Kitsch (of the forever better than your faves Friday Night Lights) in his first leading role in a Hollywood film. Lynn...

i can't with this
For real though…how is Rick Santorum still a thing? Every word that comes out of his mouth is more ridiculous than the last.
I’m not one to get political like this, I’m really not, but the fact that Santorum seems to be a legit contender for presidential candidate frightens me to no end. Do people not see how batshit crazy he is!? Because I honestly don’t get why this...

Exactly one month from today The Legend of Korra will make its long-awaited debut. Some of you may recall that I am rather excited. Nick has recently begun releasing clips of of the sassy new Avatar, along with behind the scenes artwork, and even the first few minutes of the premiere episode leaked online, leading many to believe that an official airdate wasn’t far behind.

Two weeks ago one of my biggest idols growing up passed away: the only and only Mr. Davy Jones.
Unlike the many grown ups who fawned over him in the 60s and 70s, I grew to love him during my formative years in the 90s. One delightful summer Nick at Night began airing The Monkees and before long I was hooked. Every night I’d stay up ‘late’ (late back then being 10 or maybe 11,...

2011 cinematically
Did you know that 2011 holds the record for most sequels released in a single year? 8 of the top 10 highest grossing films of the year were sequels. Ridiculous.
But anyway here are my favorite 11because it’s 2011 duhfilms of 2011 are as follows:

2011 gaming-ly
2011 was a curious year for gaming. Looking at my list of favorites from this year only two are original IPs, and only one of those two stands entirely on its own. As was the case with the cinematic world the year was defined by sequels, spin-offs, and remakes. Unlike the movie world, however, I was actually stoked to see so many familiar faces.
And so, without any further ado, here are my...

2011 audibly
2011 was a great year, musically for me. I got to find some incredible indie gamer musicians to feature in my weekly gaygamer.net feature, Audio File Friday, some of my favorite artists released stellar new albums, and I found a bunch of new artists to listen to. While listening to the the radio may have been more painful than ever, it was still a great year in music.
Here are my 11 favorite...

think different.
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They...
