So as most of you may (or may not) know. I do a podcast with my buddy Jason called iconogeek. Well he's been working on a documentary film (lending some post production help) for a coworker of his. Well, the film is completed and now officially on IMDB. I just received this link a few minutes ago over IM: http://bit.ly/2oGqEq and I have taken a screengrab as well.
Anyway, as any self-respecting geek (and movie dweeb) can attest, a mention on IMDB is kind of a big deal. I'm stoked that Jason has achieved this momentous occasion and I'm happy to bask in some of the glow emanating out of North Carolina right now. So congrats J! Now, how the heck to I get on IMDB? Thoughts? Anyone? Beuler?
So if Paranormal Activity doesn’t scare the pants off you, you’re either Tom Savini, or dead. Take Blair Witch and get rid of the vomit inducing camera work and you’ve got this flick. I highly recommend, just leave some lights on before you leave for the movie. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did (unless of course, their off when you get home).
So I got a chance to catch Zombieland last night and let me tell ya. Freakin’ awesome. When I received a text message from Dodge, that said “I’m kinda embarrassed, I actually liked Zombieland,” I knew it was gonna be good, Dodge is notoriously picky and he is usually dead on.
Now I had heard it was good, and I am pre-disposed to like this movie already, but all that aside…this movie kicked in high gear from the getgo and didn’t stop. Great writing, tight editing (only 1hr 21m), great tongue-in-cheek acting (and even some surprising dramatic moments), and a nice retell of a crowded genre.

Episode 28 starts off with dedicated commitment as Chuck tries to convince Jason to get on Twitter. While Chuck feels his argument has merit, Jay remains unconvinced and brings out the big guns when he calls on Harvard to help his case. Did Chuck win? You be the judge. Chuck and Jay then dive into the Outlander DVD and discuss it’s true awesomeness and its connections to Old English Epic Poems. Jay then offers his review of Terminator Salvation and we find out if all the bad press is deserved. BTW, if you are interested in some good movies about time travel check out Time Crimes and Primer.
We then discuss E3 and some of the great stuff coming out of this year’s biggest gaming show including the Beatles Rockband game, the new Halo: Reach trailer, Left4Dead 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Metal Gear, and the Sims.

OK, so we’ve been given a TON of info in the episode. I love the pendulum, very cool 
. Dharma doesn’t seem to be a mystery now (to me at least). I guess they are (were) a scientific organization working on the island doing experiments with biology and electromagnetism. The one thing that I am confused about though, is are they still around? In season 1, there was a Dharma supplies drop, so they must be still around and still think they have functioning operatives on the island (at least until Keamey shows up). But they haven’t been in the story line for a while…or have they?
So here’s my theory…Widmore is Hanso. The Dharma Inititive is his company that he set up to exploit the island in his quest for power. This is why Richard and the Other-Others battled against Dharma in the past and recruited Ben to help them wipe Dharma out on the island. They want Widmore to stop the exploitation of the island. I think that after that Widmore, at some point, was banished from ever returning to the island, which is why he needed the Initiative to get back to it. I think he dedicated his life and resources to finding that Island again, and when he did (using the pendulum)
This theory also explains a little bit more about the confrontation with Ben and the we-can’t kill-each-other pact they have. Ben clearly made a deal with Widmore after Richard assisted him in destroying the Dharma Initiative on the island. What tht deal is, is still a secret, but I am sure we’ll find out.
Think about it, Widmore protects his interests in the island by masquerading as Alvar Hanso. That way he can keep his legitimate enterprises going, while he keeps the more clandestined “Island” business going.
Thoughts?

Well, maybe not the movie’s premise, but the slick gestural computer system Tom Cruise used to find future offenders is. This is incrediby insane and starts to make the ridiculous “cyber space” trips in movies like Hackers and Johnny Mnemonic start to seem almost plausible. I love it when life imitates art
As Episode 18 kicks off, Jason is intrigued by Chuck’s son’s iPod ‘s playlist. Chuck’s wife does a graduate project on the iconogeek podcast as Chuck reveals that the iconogeek logo won a national design award! Jason then reveals his wife’s affectation and utter terror with zombies. Jay’s been catching up with Battlestar Galactica and Chuck warns of the impending “suck” in season 4. Chuck reminisces about Space: Above and Beyond and compares Star Trek to BSG.
Jason then sparks a conversation about David Duchovny and lays down his review on RocknRolla and the Guy Ritchie character cannon. As Chuck preps to watch “Shoot ‘em up,” he feels compelled to justify his disdain for “Crank,” “Air Force One,” and “24.” Jason attempts to poke holes in Chuck’s 24 shark jump theory by playing the porn card. They then discuss the Tr2n trailer and how cool the original Tron was in its day.
The show wraps with the great slate of DVD’s coming out this month.

Ironman is now on DVD. If you have yet to see this movie we must insist that you turn your computer off immediately, go to your local BestBuy, Blockbuster, Supermarket or 7-Eleven (yes, they are selling this absolutely everywhere) and purchase the Ironman DVD. If you have already seen this movie, you should still go and buy it.
I picked it up the other night and we watched it again and it really was just a damn good time. If you are on this website, their should be no question in your mind about whether or not this is a must own.
You. Must. Own.
