Five X-Men: Origins Films They Should Make Next

April 26th, 2009 by Johnny Firecloud


This is a fantastic time for fans of the Marvel Universe, with the smash success of Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine flick, as well as the barrage of superhero films on the horizon in the great Avengers web. The ball needs to keep rolling, however, and it seems like Marvel could use a hand in picking out a few ideas for the next batch of superhero films.

Fox News Doesn’t Want To Be Mr. Rogers’ Neighbor (Or Yours)

April 8th, 2009 by Johnny Firecloud

Did you know that Mr. Rogers was an evil man? By telling children they’re special just for being who they are, the late kid’s show host helped create a generation of worthless, lazy socialists who think they’re entitled to rewards without working. Well, at least that’s what the lunatic poster-children for fear-mongering idiocy at Fox News are saying. In between Glenn Beck’s pathetic crying spells and endless coverage of Obama’s “horrible,” “nation-raping” “socialist agenda,” Fox packed these three idiots into a time slot, fired up the mics and evidently said “Be as utterly fucking ridiculous as you possibly can be.”

The result:

Seth MacFarlane Explains Banned Family Guy Simpsons Clip

March 26th, 2009 by Johnny Firecloud

Both The Family Guy and The Simpsons are Fox Network animated series, and for years each show has been taking on-screen jabs at the other. All in good fun, mostly, but last year an edited clip drew all kinds of fire from people who apparently don’t like to see Marge nearly raped or hear the entire Simpsons family shot to death. Here’s commentary by creator Seth MacFarlane, explaining the backstory of why the clip was banned on Fox.

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

Long story short: The Simpsons can make fun of Family Guy, but Family Guy can’t make fun of The Simpsons. Go figure. I’ve never been a fan of Family Guy, but I find it interesting that The Simpsons are too precious to be made fun of on their own network.

A last-minute editorial piece for Crave came through on Thursday, and I had to appear at least halfway knowledgeable about Alfred Hitchcock and his many, many films. Apparently I pulled it off: we hit the front page of Digg – my first time.

Here’s the piece: Five Classic Alfred Hitchcock Films.

Jane’s Addiction. The Real Jane’s Addiction.

February 17th, 2009 by Johnny Firecloud

I don’t want to go inside just yet. Sitting in the car… Up The Beach just gave way to Stop on the stereo… the Jane’s Addiction show at the Echoplex tonight was fucking unbelievable. For just a few minutes, I felt like the giddy little music junkie I grew up as, totally freaking out over being three feet away from one of the most pivotal bands of not only my life, but the entirety of rock n’ roll.

Magic. Inspiration. The reason I’m here in the first place.
Stay tuned to Antiquiet for the review.

Damn.
