Killdroid Teaser! And More Photos!
June 22, 2008So I did a little more sleuthing on this upcoming film that I wrote about before. The film is called Killdroid: A Mechanical Love Affair, and is directed by Filipino auteur Rico Maria Ilarde. Anyway, it turns out that the film’s teaser has been released by its US distributor, Mondo Macabro.
And holy shit, was that terrible. Not “terrible” in a “so bad it’s bound to be awesome kind of like Snakes On A Plane-terrible,” but just “terrible-terrible.”
I don’t know, there’s something about scoring Filipino movies that makes it seem like they’ve been using the same intruments and technology since the 1980s. The cinematography is beautiful, though. But it was poorly paced and THERE WERE NO TITS.
Considering how they’ve initially marketed this as an erotic gorefest, they should’ve went for the jugular and released a 2-minute red band montage of blood and tits. I’m hoping that that would be the case when they shell out a new trailer.

List-O-Rama: The Ten Best Music Videos From Movie Soundtracks (Part 1 of 2)
June 20, 2008I know it’s been a while since I updated the site, but I have an excuse: YOUR SISTER! OH SNAP! What?
Anyway, life was getting in the way, and I do apologize for the lack of updates. Stupid life and its lifey ways.
As for this list, please bear with me because it takes a bit of explanation. I am listing down the ten best music videos of songs that are made specifically for movie soundtracks. As if theme songs weren’t obscure enough these days, moreso would be the art of coming up with a kick-ass music video to tie in with and promote your movie.
There are a few gems out there, but we all know how lazy studios can get sometimes. They shoot a video and simply sneak some scenes in from their movie. Some don’t even bother shooting a video, they just conjure a mishmash of sequences and call it a day.
But there is one exception:
#10: The RZA, Young DB and Reverend William Burke “Beat You Down” (from The Protector)
Again, it doesn’t really count as a legitimate music video if every frame was ripped entirely from a movie. Unless of course said movie involves Tony Jaa, some elephants, gunshots, fire, explosions, broken bones, flying kicks, helicopters, AND DID I MENTION ELEPHANTS?!
The song being from The RZA doesn’t hurt either.
Lou Ferrigno Puts Jason Segel In A Choke Hold
June 1, 2008Something like this technically shouldn’t even be worth writing about, seeing as it’s not even a clip from a movie, but a paparazzi video from the set of a movie. A movie, if I may add, that won’t be coming out until January of next year.
But then again, when said video shows LOU FUCKING FERRIGNO putting a sleeper hold on JASON FUCKING SEGEL, that’s a whole different story.
Although, one of my biggest pet peeves would be the mis-identification of wrestling moves in films. In Me, Myself & Irene, Jim Carrey claims that he was "dropkicked" right in the face by Renee Zellweger, but all it was was a simple high kick to the chin.
I also vaguely remember this recent movie where a character jumps off an elevated surface onto his opponent while shouting "Piledriver!" Okay, first of all, you can’t piledrive someone off the top rope (unless you’re Petey Williams pulling off a ridiculous variant of The Canadian Destroyer). And secondly, it wasn’t even close: said character did a basic jumping forearm smash.
Jason Segel also misses the mark here, although not terribly, when he asks" "Is this the Camel Clutch?"
MISTAKE!
However, one may argue that the repercussions of disrupting oxygen and blood flow to your brain by being put in a sleeper hold could lead to dizziness and the loss of balance and coordination, which could easily make the victim confuse one wrestling maneuver with another. In this case, he may have been referring to the Cobra Clutch, which is a variation of the sleeper, as popularized by Sgt. Slaughter. And since this is JASON FUCKING SEGEL, I’ll give him a pass.
The video was shot from the set of I Love You, Man, which stars Paul Rudd (The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Clueless) as a newly engaged man who sets out to find a best man for his wedding. Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, TV’s How I Met Your Mother) is one of his candidates.
The film co-stars Jamie Pressly (Not Another Teen Movie, TV’s My Name Is Earl), Rashida Jones (TV’s The Office and Unhitched), and Thomas Lennon (Balls of Fury, TV’s Reno 911!), whom you can see in the background shouting "Fuck him up, Lou!"
