So, I have this idea...

New experiment (to be implemented soon) and its glorious.

I'm gonna attack strangers listening to their ipods. Yes thats right, attack! The plan is to ask 15 rando people who have their earbuds in what they are listening to and no matter what it is make a play list out of it. Ultimately, I think it would be cool to do this according to neighborhood in Chi to see the differences, but lets start slow and easy, shall we?

I might be jumping the gun here but revealing the idea before any headway has been made but I think it best to use this forum to hold me accountable to it.

Its gonna be AWESOME! I can't wait to get the first list up and running. Keep an eye out, yo!

fire is catching

I am COMPLETELY hooked its more than ridiculous. I know most people will tell me to shut up if I post one more thing on FB about this damn thing but I AM TELLING YOU its good, real good. The Hunger Games is the way to go for your next read. Its quick and easy and utterly engrossing.

Mostly if a book is going to be a movie, I want to read it and boy howdy am I glad I got this one. Its young adult and all, which is an instant turn off for most, but its so worth the read (and it will be a quick one at that).

Pick it up, read it, do it

I mean, I can't help it, I'm obsessed. I don't want to be but I just am! Adele just HAS IT, she's the bomb.com and the girl is 22. Enjoy her second single from her upcoming album, 22 (named for her age at the time it was made her first album was 19 also for her age, and this is another reason why I like her)



Plus this is LIVE and in her house, crazy cool

Pavlovian Response

I just had the craziest pavlovian response. I have spent my morning watching trailers, reading about movie news, and learning that good ole Ebert tapped some 24 year old blogger to write/introduce for his show (news I am instinctively jealous of). The odd pavlovian response came when I was watching the trailer for Scream 4, I TOTALLY smelled popcorn! The good movie theater kind that you can't stop eating and I instantly wanted some. When I became aware of what happened I realized it was happening every time I watched a trailer I liked and wanted to see! Weird? Ok, maybe, but also really telling. The trailers I was only so-so about did not elicit the same response from me because I don't find them entertaining. But take Scream 4, that flick is a prime example of classic cinema entertainment! Its hookie, and gorey, and dumb, and does nothing but satisfy male cravings but damn it, Scream is hella entertaining! I can't wait for the new Wes Craven installment and that is really REALLY saying something as I loath horror movies. I am to much of a weenie to like scary movies so thats even more points for Wes! Here's the trailer for those of you who are curious:


PLUS: I mean COME ON! Sookie Stackhouse AND Veronica Mars cameo, you seriously cant beat that!

Here are some other trailers that are awesome/bad:

Green Lantern =BAD I love you Ryan Renalds, you're a bad ass and this was an undertaking but this trailer does this movie NO justice. I wanted to see this thing since I first heard it was being made but after the trailer, I am really disappointed. BIG TIME! ...and Blake Lively, just UGH


Green Hornet ="...Meh" Still not great, but I'll watch it.


AND THE BEST FOR LAST: 
Cowboys and Aliens =AWESOME. Judge me if you will but if you have seen the trailer (and the cast) then you know what I'm talking about! This movie looks AWESOME, totally and utterly ridiculous but sheer awesomeness! I cannot wait to see this movie. It is a popcorn bucket movie and its gonna ROCK. First of all, its a Western, can't beat that, Second its a movie about Aliens, sweet, and Third, Daniel Craig/Harrison Ford kick some serious ass! "I want that man. You give him to me now... or I'm gonna take him." AHHHH its just cool. I think Favreau got this one right, he has found his niche and should really stay there. (PLUS, Ron Howard and Steven Speilberg producing) Now, I really could be wrong about this one. It has potential to really crash and burn, but the point here is not the movie itself, its the quality of the trailer and whether it makes me want to actually watch and this one got me from the TITLE let alone the actual trailer. I'm there, done and done!
