Don’t Buy: Degrassi Season 8

So this is my first post for BODB! I don’t intend on making it a regular thing but I felt a moral obligation to all fans of Degrassi: The Next Generation to warn them against continuing to watch the deformed beast this once great show has become.
Foremost on the list are the new characters they [...]

BODB: Space Invaders Screen Adaptation

Space Invaders, a “beloved” arcade game is in the works of being made into a movie. The game has no plot. It involves shooting at alien looking things coming towards earth. This is not the first time the game has been adapted into something beyond the video game. It has been on t-shirts, in music [...]

Don’t Buy: Movies based on BORING board games

Okay, okay! I get it. There will be movies made based off childhood games. I’m tired of hating and complaining about this losing battle. Candyland is a land of imagination and tasty treats, a happy Hansel and Gretel! Monopoly… borderline boring, but not if it’s a Blade Runner-esque picture!
So now it’s Risk. RISK? I couldn’t [...]

Don’t Buy: The Human Centipede: The First Sequence

Because this is so indescribable, and really just gross read the quoted summary:
Internationally respected Siamese twin surgeon Dr. Josef Heiter has a demented vision for mankind’s future existence. He wants to remove human beings’ kneecaps so they have to exist on all fours and then surgically graft them mouth-to-anus to form a centipede chain. When [...]

Pre-Order: New Moon

Why:

it’s complicated
it’s stepped up another notch
more action
heartbroken-ness
exciting
pushing to next level
fucking werewolves

AND 30lbs more!

At this point, instead of tranforming into a werewolf on command, I’m sure I just transformed into a tween. Expect my reaction video coming soon*.

Don’t Buy: Legos, The Movie

What is up with this trend to take toys from yesteryear and make them into some hollywood travesty?
First it was Transformers, then GI Joe, and Candy Land and Where’s Waldo is in the mix, but now the clinch pin of childhood toys and memories: LEGOs!
Legos was the only toy that both my brother and I [...]

Pre-Order: Where the Wild Things Are

With every new release, whether it be stills, leaked video, trailers, posters and just general information, I fall more and more in love with this Spike Jonze project.
So it’s no surprise that when a new trailer came out this morning, it only sealed the deal that this film would fall under the category of a [...]

Buy: Point Break

Sorry, for the short posts. Really busy! Enjoy this!
This was made for mean magazine. Called cine-mashes features a bunch of different “mashes” with classics.
It might be the best parody of point break I’ve ever seen. Features some of Human Giant (Ansari and Huebel) and some of Reno 911 (Grant and Lennon). Gotta love Huebel’s Busey!
Only [...]

Don’t Buy: Legally Blonde Bridget pt. 3

Remember Bridget Jones’s Diary? It was about some 30-something chubster approaching life as a teenager. Trying to figure out boys by writing in her diary.
Oh good, so you do. Well remember the sequel? Where she carries on with her adolescent behavior but somehow ends up in a Thai prison, but becomes a hero because she [...]

Buy: Carla Bruni’s “Quelqu’un m’a dit”

In the fall of my junior year, I lived with a Macedonian exchange student named Orhan. He was a pleasant enough fellow, except that he was homesick and so spent all hours of the day Skyping in Macedonian. I soon grew used to this, and learned to treat garbled Macedonian as just another ambient noise [...]
