RE: TSA Agents Pat Down Baby

In response to the recent threat of terrorist babies, here’s an expert explaining 10 (maybe more) important airplane safety tips. It’s all pretty obvious information that most of you probably know and already follow when flying, but it’s a good reminder.

Blind Film Critic Reviews Thor

Blind Film Critic, Tommy Edison, released his first review when Scream 4 hit theaters last month. When I first heard this story, I thought it was someone who watched movies blindfolded or something.

Nope. This is exactly what it sounds like. A blind guy that reviews movies. Although it’s bizarre, his reviews are pretty funny, but offer an insightful and interesting perspective as well.

Edison’s most recent review of this summer’s first blockbuster, Thor, is exactly that: “Wow, Thor: 3D, something tell’s me this movie wasn’t made for blind people.” Haha, check it out:

Italian University Warns Students About Jersey Shore

Italian University Warns Students About Jersey Shore

It’d probably be best if this show just went ahead and stopped. These people have more money than they know what to do with. Every time I watched last season, it seemed like the cast members fought through each day and were just waiting for the cameras to shut off each night, so they could all separate and shack up at the hottest hotel in town. There’s no way ‘The Situation’ was laying in that little bed every night, in a room with two other people.

The first season was probably one of the most entertaining things I’ve ever watched, but it’s getting boring. I mean, do you remember that first season? Mike was actually pretty funny. Ronnie got into a fist fight every night. And Snooki. Got punched in her face. By a random dude. That season was crazy. Every episode had the most wild situations scenarios.

“This is my house, I have to defend it”

‘This is my house, I have to defend it’

For $2.4 million you can buy the McAllister house from Home Alone, located in a Chicago suburb. You can watch a video tour of it from the Coldwell Banker website after the jump. The house is being listed as the Home Alone Home and isn’t nearly as cool as it used to be. The statue the idiot pizza delivery guy always hits and Christmas lights should permanently be attached to it.

I’ll Admit, I Did It Too

PlayStation Network Expected To Return This Week

I don’t know about other PlayStation owners, but this whole debacle is revealing how big of a nerd I am. As it nears two weeks with the PlayStation Network and online services being completely disabled, I have been catching myself in a nerdy rage every time I switch on my console, just to see that message displayed in top right-hand corner of the screen. The Network is still down.

But finally, there is some light at the end of the tunnel for nerds like me. On Saturday night, an entry on the PlayStation blog stated that the PlayStation Network and Qriocity will slowly be returning sometime this week. Services will be rolled out “regionally” including the restoration of online gameplay, Qriocity music, account management, chat functions, and friend lists. Sony has implemented new security features including the physical movement of their data center to help avoid any further intrusions.

‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ Trailer Launches

Paramount Pictures launched the trailer for this summer’s highly anticipated movie Transformers: Dark of the Moon. When a mysterious event from Earth’s past erupts into the present day, it threatens to bring a war to Earth so big that the Transformers alone will not be able to save us.

It looks pretty intense.. There’s something about Shia Labeouf and these movies that always get me. I think it’s his emotional connection with Bumblebee. It seems very real. I have gotten legitimately teary eyed during these films. Is that weird?

The movie stars Shia LaBeouf, John Turturro, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Patrick Dempsey, Kevin Dunn, with John Malkovich and Frances McDormand. It hits theaters July 1st.

Happy Friday

Happy Friday

It’s Friday, and I still can’t stop listening to this song. It has become part of my routine every Friday now. I have listened to it more times than I ever want to talk about and it still effects me in weird ways. I uncontrollably pump my fist every time I hear “partyin’ partyin’ YEAH”.. and I love it. But anyway! It’s Friday and I miss when Friday meant this:
