I told Colin the new Morgue episode would be out today but I’m afraid it’s gonna be at least another day… That is assuming that Paul doesn’t make plans with his friends or something. Still editing out one minute of extra footage and a segment where the audio is messed up. This is getting painful cause it’s so close but I have to work tonight and Paul has a shit-load of homework. So just hold in there it’s getting there.

Just a warning to all PlayStation 3 readers that for whatever reason only read this blog. Probably just Nancy. There’s a weird error that seems to mainly just affect non-slim PS3s that might brick your system. On the day before MLB 10: The Show comes out too. They say you should not turn your system on for 24 hours.

So don’t do it!

Read a book or watch TV or play your Xbox 360. Just don’t turn on that PlayStation 3.

It only does nothing.

Unless you have a Slim. Then you’re probably good to go.

Update: Apparently it has something to do with the internal clock thinking today’s February 29. So the 24 hour thing is weird, because it will still be a day off, but I guess it will at least be a day that exists.

Update 2: Everything’s good now, or so I hear.

Just want to wish a happy birthday to Colin aka C-Wall. We’ve kind of run out of ideas for birthday related posts so I’ll just say have a good one and use this venue for a few other brief announcements. So everyone can know the current status of the latest “The Morgue” episode, it’s getting closer to completion by the hour. Paul and I got new software and a new computer but it’s been taking us awhile to edit this one sketch. It’s basically the best/most epic fight scene we’ve ever done. There’s a lot of detail put into the visuals and it’ll be grand, Paul has dubbed the sketch “iNoon”. We’ve been editing non-stop for three or four days so it’ll be out sometime this week.

Aside from that I heard about this site that I feel like I should of already known about. It’s called The Maltin Game.. Does that ring a bell to anyone? Apparently it’s based on Leonard Maltin’s movie review books somehow. Basically you have to guess a movie by being given the cast list in reverse order and a few other clues. It’s freaking impossible even for me, at least most of the time but I don’t know… Felt like it was worth mentioning.

I might do an oscar post soon before the big day but I’m not 100% on that. There’s some other stuff I’m contemplating but we’ll see how the week unravels, see ya all in cyberspace, have a good one C-Man.

The time of the year that brings people together. Men and women all over the world are smiling at each other and maybe, just maybe, a young love is finally blooming. And what wonderful timing for this holiday! The Olympics are in full swing and for just a little while, the whole planet is locked in friendly competition up on the scenic, slightly snowy hills of Vancouver. A wonderful day indeed. Yes, in case you’ve forgotten, today is the Korean New Year.

Korea is a special place in America’s hearts. There’s the delightful South Korea, where they made surprising cars and eat live octopus. Oh, those amazing people. And then there’s North Korea, the kingdom of Kim Jong-il. That guy! He’s so insane. Of course, there are plenty of Korean people in other countries too, and I’m sure they’re having a great time today as well.

But there’s another holiday today too. One you might have forgotten about. That’s right, Tết, the Vietnamese new year. Hooray! It’s also Losar, the Tibetan new year. If you didn’t know that, I bet you feel like a real losar. And it’s Tsagaan Sar, the Mongolian new year. Boy, there sure are a lot of new year’s today for being halfway through the second month of 2010. But there’s even more! Today is also the Chinese new year! I bet Jackie Chan’s having a great time not having to think about the poor direction his career’s going in today.

Seriously though, you guys must be furiously beating on your desks and yelling at the screen, “Sean! You’re forgetting the most important holiday!” To which I would reply, oh yeah, the Feast of St. Brigid of Kildare. But that’s a little religious, you know? I mean, I don’t know much about this feast, but the last thing I’d want to do was talk about some relatively obscure religious figure that’s probably been exploited by card companies to force people to be additionally sentimental one day a year. That would be weird.

Just go out there and have some fun. Share some good times with whoever’s special in your life. And if you run into any Korean people, make sure to greet them with a friendly “annyong.”

Ever walk into a video store browse around and find a movie that appears to be a blatant rip-off of another more popular movie? Some B-movie that attempts to attract attention with a familiar premise and title? Does a little movie called Transmorphers ring a bell?

These films are called “Mockbusters.” Which are essentially low budget b-movies created to piggy-back on the publicity of more popular films. Sounds ridiculous right? Well recently I found there’s an independent production company called “The Asylum” that’s soul purpose is to make these kind of films. Can you believe someone would start a company with such an unimaginative and underhanded goal? I don’t agree with what these douchebags do but on the other hand they have provided us with some hilariously named pieces of shlock. I haven’t seen any of them but I figured it might be good for a laugh to share some of these memorable titles… So that we can learn from them or something.

5. AVP: Alien Vs. Predator – AVH: Alien Vs. Hunter
If the title isn’t already similar enough just look at that poster. Could they look anymore like Alien and Predator? This is a definite case of fooling someone into renting the wrong movie.

4. Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – Allan Quatermain and the Temple of Skulls
: At least Indy has name recognition, who’s this guy? Allan Quatermain? It’s not even a particularly memorable name so why do I care?

3. The Day the Earth Stood Still – The Day the Earth Stopped
: What’s funny about this is the fact that The Day the Earth Stood Still isn’t literally about the Earth standing still. So now the Earth is stopping? Looks to more or less like another invasion movie (in this case with robots) but then why give it that title? If it’s not about the same thing why even bother?

2. Terminator Salvation – The Terminators
I can’t believe this one is just different enough to avoid being sued. All they did was make it plural, they didn’t even care to stray from the look of the Terminator robots. I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

1. Transformers – Transmorphers
: My personal favorite due solely to that ridiculous title. So let’s break it down for a second “Trans” means to change and “Form” is the shape and structure of an object so “Transformer” makes sense. “Morph” actually means “to transform” so saying “Transmorph” is basically saying “Change-Transform” it doesn’t make any sense. Upon further reading I can’t even find out if these robots actually transform at all. According to Wikipedia it’s about aliens piloting robots trying to destroy the planet. The whole thing is beyond ridiculous but what’s even more perplexing is that “Sy Fy” channel is showing the film’s sequel Transmorphers: Fall of Man on TV… Eww I feel so unclean.

And the list goes on. Another one of my favorites was Sunday School Musical which is exactly what it sounds like. It’s not that these titles are really that hilarious but the fact that these people are so desperate to make a quick buck really boggles the mind. I can only dream about what titles are on the horizon. Sounds like they’re due for a Harry Potter knockoff.
