Old and Gray

This video of a young twenty-something couple about to get married who allow themselves to be aged several decades from their 20's into their 90's, while getting to see each other and comment about each iteration, is surprisingly insightful and very touching.



What I loved most was how much they laughed and commented on how "they" had aged and how they felt about the other each time. They seemed so sincere and genuinely touched (especially the last couple transformations) as they discussed what life might be like for them then.

I also loved (in the 70's reveal) how she said to him "I hope I'm taking better care of your hair at this age."

Hilarious.

And I definitely didn't cry at all towards the end.

I didn't!

Well, maybe a little.

No...YOU shut up.

Avengers Off-The-Clock

When the Avengers are not out saving the world, they appear to just do normal everyday things that we regular folks enjoy. They do their laundry...



Get their hair cut...



Have dinner with friends...



Play games...



Workout...



And pee just like the rest of us.

Small Screen Gems

Several smaller movies are coming out that, from their trailers, look really good and should probably be added to your must-see list as Fall and Winter approach.

The first, is a movie called The Room (based on the popular book)...about a boy raised in a single room who believes that is all there is of the world, until he and his mother escape their captor and have to integrate into society.



The Room opens November 6th.



The second is The Danish Girl, based on the true story of the first male to successfully have gender-reassignment surgery.



The Danish Girl opens November 27th.



The third is a movie called Youth, starring Michael Caine. The cinematography looks beautiful and the story looks quite endearing.



Youth opens December 4th.



And the fourth, is a movie called Carol, starring Cate Blanchett as a socialite in a loveless marriage who falls for a local shop girl.



Carol opens November 20th.

So....LOTS of quiet/thought-provoking movies coming up with great casts to give your brain a distraction from the usual Crash-Boom of the action/adventure movies that have been clogging the theaters the past few months.

Your ears and heart will certainly appreciate the break.

Game Changers

The visual effects team behind Game of Thrones has released a new behind-the-scenes look at some of the amazing imagery that they put together for the past season...



It's pretty cool to see how much thought and artistry goes into making a normal landscape or building appear to be so much more in, what is often, just a few seconds of screen time.

Can't wait for Season 6!

Checking In

The first trailer for the upcoming American Horror Story: Hotel, featuring all of the new characters, was released today...



Yep...just as weird as you'd expect it to be.

Guess we'll see how it all turns out when it premieres on October 7th.

Bourne Again

As you can see from this tweet from the set, a new Bourne Identity movie just started filming yesterday (with Matt Damon once again reprising his role as Jason Bourne).

I really enjoyed the first three with Matt Damon (not so much the one with Jeremy Renner).

And, as you can also see...Matt has really "let himself go" since the last films.



I need to get his trainer, cook, money...pretty much everything he has.

Lucky talented bastard.

I'm definitely looking forward to this new Bourne movie hitting the theaters sometime next year!

Super Bowl

For a product that would seem almost impossible to market to the masses (yet benefits everyone), I have to say Poo-Pourri has done an outstanding job finding hilarious ways to promote their pre-toilet spray.

Here is one of their commercials...



OMG...so funny!

Of course, I have the mind of a 13 year-old kid, so that might explain my enjoyment of this subject matter. The commercials alone are worth it for the colorful wordplay...I've definitely learned a few new terms to bring up at parties.

If you'd like to see some of their other, equally hilarious, commercials...click here.

And, as you can imagine, there are a variety of bloopers from filming this kind of commercial. So...enjoy.



FYI...it really does work. We had this product at work and I can honestly say, when someone used it I often thought the room smelled like a spa afterwards.

True story (original scent).

Monday Funday

Spectre Poster

The studio just released the official poster for the next James Bond movie, Spectre.

I think the skeleton graphic in the back is oddly distracting and kinda cheap-halloween-suit looking. Hopefully it's not just a crazy way for them to bring Judi Dench's character, M, back to life for the movie.

Although, even as a skeleton, she'd still out-act the rest of the cast around her.

The movie opens November 6th.

Where's my bourbon?

FunnyOrDie imagines the time when Lifetime makes a movie about Meryl Streep and, as you would expect, it's quite entertaining.


Enjoyable.

The Shannara Chronicles

I didn't think the day would ever come again when I would utter the phrase "I can't wait to see that show on MTV!".

However, after watching this cool new trailer for their upcoming SciFi series The Shannara Chronicles...I'm definitely wanting my MTV again.





















It looks kind of like Game of Thrones, mixed with a little Lord of the Rings (it was filmed in New Zealand as well), with just a pinch of Jupiter Ascending.

Plus, it's about elves...which I always enjoy.

I'm in!

The Shannara Chronicles premieres on MTV January 16, 2016.

Cry me a river

Very cool graphic...
