This week Regis Jack talks about Despicable Me (in 2D), Shutter Island (on BD), Let The Right One In (Netflix streaming) and some crap about Apple.

So I saw 3 movies this week, the first season of Better Off Ted (on Netflix Streaming), and I watched parts of some movies, but stopped when they sucked really bad (like Paranormal Entity – a rip off movie if there ever was one).  I’ve seen all of Better Off Ted before, but it was great to see them again.

Despicable Me in non-eye popping 2d, was pretty good.  It had a cute story, but the funnies parts were shown in the preview – which bothers me.  They need to show scenes in trailers but NOT the best moments.  It’s good for kids and adults.  Nuff said here.

Shutter Island was, well, not bad.  It had some cool scenes, but tried to be suspenseful, but wasn’t.  It also had inconsistencies within scenes, many mistakes and a story that wasn’t really had to see coming – from the first scene.  Still, it’s worth watching – it’s not bad.

Now the movie Let The Right One In was very cool.  It’s a vampire movie – sort of.  I felt it was actually a child relationship movie about two 12 year old kids, one of which is a vampire.  This movie has high ratings on Netflix, which surprises me.  This movie is more drama than horror and has very quiet moments – not a typical popular movie.  The most important part is to see this film in the original Swedish with  subtitles – DO NOT WATCH THE DUBBED VERSION.  Every bad review I read seems to be from people who watched dubbed versions.

The rest of the cast is littered with Apple Antenna issues, the press release and an antitrust lawsuit against them and AT&T.  But my favorite part is the iPhone song I link to below.  It’s awesome.  Sing if you know the words, “If you don’t want an iPhone 4 – don’t but it.  If you bought one and you don’t like it – bring it back”

Oh Yeah, the picture this week is of Claudius – he landed on my car.  Cool isn’t he?

This week Regis Jack talks about the BS over the iPhone 4 Antenna, The new (and ewwww) Green Hornet trailer, Knight and Day, Social Media Noise, a use for Klingon and some other stuff.

First of all, the proper pronunciation of the title is still under investigation. Second, this whole iPhone 4 antenna issues is BS. Not that it doesn’t exist, but it’s existed with most every phone every created. Hell, I’ve even seen warnings on the phones or in the manuals about where not to hold the phone. The people complaining don’t have anything better to do or the sense to know that issue has existed since anything with antennas have existed. Any way, besides that I do talk about the sick feeling I get when I watch the new Green Hornet trailer, the happy feeling I get with crazy as fuck Tom Cruise (did that sound gay?), the noise of Social media and some other crap along way.

I complained about Social Media sometime last year in a blog titled, “Blogging Hell“. Check it out.

 TRJE 078: Maxi iPad [42:18m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This week Regis Jack talks about the iPad (and it’s subsequent religious following), real arcade games, pants on the ground, police stealing money over the smell and other stuff.

Apple announced the long awaited, but well known iPad this week.  Except for the name it’s pretty cool – I give you the good, the bad and the jokes about it.  And after that I still find some time to talk about real arcade games (like Pac-Mac, Donkey Kong, Asteroids, – you damn kids have no idea how fun those were), the song/man from “Pants On The Ground” (the AI song, not my fantasy for all women) and I found a new story about how Police “legally” acquired a million dollars from someone, just because of the smell.

All that and a few more bits on this weeks podcast.

And what the hell is that symbol on my blazer (pictured above)?  That’s the melting pattern for snow after I run the engine for a while.

Also, the iPad joke, well one of many jokes, is about the larger version coming next year, known as the Max iPad – get it? – Maxipad?  Well, just in case you wondered, I do get it, but I figured saying Maxi iPad would make people say, “Shouldn’t that be Max iPad to be funny?” and that’s my goal.  If you question it, maybe you’ll remember it and maybe you’ll remember me.

 TRJE 048: Adam Lambert Wins [45:01m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This week Regis Jack rants about Adam Lambert, Terminator Salvation, a PC Postmortem, and other stuff.

*** Show Notes ***

American Idol ended a a very high note.  Even though Kris was chosen as the “American Idol” – to me Adam Lambert is the winner.  With Cyndi Lauper, Kiss, Queen, Satana, Rod Stewart and more – AI had a great season finale.

So you think you can dance started up again to replace my AI fix.  Terminator Salvation (with almost no spoilers in this show) wasn’t that good, Sex drive was funny, thanks to Seth Green, but Zack and Miri lacked, well,  anything interesting.  The Apple IIe makes a comeback, a kid gets suspended for going to a prom, naked women smoke and MORE!
