Cool Shit 4/25

There were a lot of great movies made in the 70s. Probably plenty you haven't even heard of.

Speaking of movies, here's a list of what's going to be plaguing the multiplexes this summer.

And I guess we shouldn't leave out what's going to be happening on television this summer either. Take a look at these ten television shows coming soon.

One show in particular looks completely insane. And of course Michael Bay's name is attached to it. Enjoy The Last Ship!



I can certainly appreciate an article that offers tips on how to survive a lightning strike leading off with "Stay indoors." But it doesn't stop there, as it realizes humans are mostly stupid and will not heed this piece of advice.

From the ashes of Silk Road comes something darker, and allegedly harder to track. So if you need your drugs or murder for hire, you've come to the right place.

Cool Shit 4/24

Oral history of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Only the greatest show ever.

So Guy Fieri has a new restaurant out there, in probably the best place for a Guy Fieri restaurant: Las Vegas. And it's got everything you would imagine on the menu - Guy Fieri style!

Here's a completely depressing piece about Wall Street and how you should invest your money. Short answer: don't!

Here's a quick preview of 33 movies coming out this summer that you may or may not be excited for.

If you're bored today, or have recently thought you haven't been using the Internet to its capacity, check out these 10 kinda cool calculations you can do online.

At first, hearing about a pirate show being created by NBC sounds completely lame. But then you take a look at this preview, see John Malkovich going full James Spader, and see all the other completely insane stuff going on, and you think, maybe. Maybe this has a chance to be somewhat palatable.

Cool Shit 5/9

It's nice to know our government will turn the other cheek when it comes to our food safety. Much more so than Europe, it sounds.

Get bumped from a flight? Before you accept that voucher, did you know you could get cash for your inconvenience? Works for lost luggage as well!

Sigh. Rolling Stone put out a list of the best albums from the 90s. A terrible, incomplete list, that overlooks some great albums.

I've linked to a couple summer movie previews concerning the blockbusters, but here's a look at some of the "quieter" films to be released this summer.

Have you read Stephen King's Under the Dome? If not, I recommend it. While (predictably) the ending is rather abrupt and comes out of left field, the characters and richness of the world King creates is fantastic.

Anyway, I'm not the only one who thought it was good, as CBS has gone and developed it as a series (not sure if its a limited run or it will continue on - hopefully it has a finite ending). Here's the trailer. Looks decent, even with the tacky All Along the Watchtower cover that plays over it...



This "break up" filmed on a kiss cam montage at a minor league baseball game (where promotional stunts to get more attention are de rigueur) is obviously fake; however the Hall and Oates soundtrack compelled me to include it here.
