Alamo Drafthouse PSA

There's a small movie theater chain called Alamo Drafthouse. They have 11 theaters in Texas (Austin, Houston, and San Antonio) and one theater in Virginia. What sets these guys different from the Regal Cinemas and the Hoyts of the land is that you can buy beer, pizza, beer, awesome snacks, and more beer. Here's the thing: they won't take your shit. In other words, if you're yapping it up and annoying the guy sitting next to you, they will kick you out. If you're texting during the movie, they'll kick you out. I would absolutely love to give these guys a ton of my money if they would only open a theater local to me. I have encountered at least a dozen instances at my local Regal/Hoyts/etc theaters with bullshit customers who think they are watching the movie in their own living rooms, talking, commenting, using cell phones, and generally being ass nuggets.

One day, a girl gets kicked out of one of the Austin Alamo Drafthouses for texting during the movie. She calls the theater, complains, and now the theater is using it as a PSA. It's edited in their theaters but unedited online.

EDIT: AMAZING. This has gone from under 30,000 views when I first caught it to over 1.2 million. Insane! These guys deserve this sort of attention and I hope it helps them to rake in tons of dough. So, chances are that by now you've seen it.

Enjoy

The preview trailer made it seem that the game would be offering something new but the latest word is that it's going to be a pretty standard zombie fighting game.

First Trailer For the Tomb Raider Franchise Reboot

I love Lara's new look (see LINKAGE for more info).

Grand Theft Auto Modding on the PC is Awesome!

You have to love the modding scene; especially when they go past the "cool" things we'd all like to see modded in a game and just go for ludicrous. Check out the following and pay special attention to the motorcycles and terminators endoskeletons and... whatever. Just watch.

Looney Tunes 3D Version of 2D Cartoon Done Right

I always shudder when I hear that there are movements to bring traditionally 2-dimensional cartoon characters into 3D. I don't mean the crappy 3D where you have to where glasses and you find yourself reaching out to grab stuff like an idiot; I mean 3D rendered computer animation as per The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, etc. The following video is an example of how it can be done just right. The action, direction, colors, lighting, and character design all still feel like the old 2D versions of the Coyote and Road Runner cartoons with a new wrapping. I can certainly get behind something like this.

EDIT: Warner Bros. is pulling the video as fast as it can go up. I tried another link but that went down PDQ. Just do a Google search for "Looney Tunes 3D Coyote Falls" and you should be able to find a quick clip here and there. The Vimeo link was awesome as it was in HD (the currently available YouTube copy is not and the video severely suffers for it). Oh, well.

Evil Baby Bullet

This is about 40,000 levels of awesome and creepy.  I couldn't stop watching and couldn't stop giggling - especially when the sweet potato puffs a cloud of smoke.

WARNING: You will lose 1d12 Sanity Points if you watch the entire video

Protesting Luchador

I don't know what's happening in this picture and, to be honest, I don't want to know.  Indisputable fact: the guy on the motorcycle has enormous balls.

Suntanning Slave Leia x2!

Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in the slave costume from Return of the Jedi + her stunt double + lying out to get a suntan on set in the Mojave Desert = AWESOME

Wonder Woman Canceled

It's really no big surprise, but the official word from NBC is that the Wonder Woman television show has been canceled before it even gets a chance to air. Thanks to this tweet we have a shot of the Wonder-Woman-That-Could-Have-Been in this picture of Adrianne Palicki wearing the "booty shorts" version of the costume.
