I just ran two miles in the blistering heat and I am pretty sure my brain has shrunk do to some lack of oxygen. Let’s see what we have in store for is this week.

No Tales from Earthsea this week.


As much as it pains us to say so, no theater in Oklahoma City is showing Tales from Earthsea this weekend. In an effort to make sure that everyone has enough room to continue screening Step Up 3D, OKC theaters have decided films that are actually good need to wait. We will not be discussing this film on this week’s show.

HOWEVER, and this is not new news but still good news, the show this week will simply focus on The Expendables and Scott Pilgrim. That should be enough awesome for one week.

We’re taking a break this week, but next week will be epic.


Hooray for producing your own web show that doesn’t make money or is required to have episodes due to sponsorship agreements! This week we are doing the chill and being complete bums. This has happened before, so this news probably doesn’t freak you out that much, but what you should know is that next week may prove to be completely awesome.

New Tron 2 Trailer?! (a.k.a. The Dude is back for more)

I probably am the only person who shares this view, and I have already been reprimanded by friends and colleagues for it, but the first Tron didn’t strike my fancy as it did others. I probably should have seen it when I was twelve like everyone else, then I might have had a soft spot for it as an adult, but as it is I kind of slept through it.

This is all not to say that this new, fancy Tron will be a bad film. Oh no, sir. It may very well be a good movie. The trailer above gives us a little more light into the main character’s daddy issues, while showing us that The Dude has a doppelganger in computerland. There will be hijinx, I can feel it. Let’s just hope that RAM returns (even though he kind of gets erased in the first film…twenty-eight years ago.) Hey, they could have rewritten the program, right?

At the MPS 07/30/10


Another week shows up with a few new films to watch. After last week’s surprise of adorableness that was Ramona and Beezus, can this week possibly keep up? At least Salt ended up being a worthless film, so I hear. I sure am glad we didn’t have to see that.
