Twitter in Focus: Joel Hodgson

by tonyd on September 9, 2015 at 12:01 am

Hey Bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die! Today’s contestant is Joel Hodgson, creator of MST3K and start of Other Space. Let’s see what he’s tweeting.

@JoelGHodgson

July 23rd: “Lately, almost every day, I ask myself “What would Bob Mackie do?” pic.twitter.com/KRT7VtnHrn”

That’s my bracelet WWBMD.

July 24th: “Badass MST3K snowflake by @kitcameo”

Neat.

August 8th: “Coming to the stately Greenwich Odeon Sept 18 – 19, for a MST3K screening Friday AND “Riffing Myself” on Saturday https://odeum.ticketleap.com/riffing/dates/Sep-19-2015_at_0800PM …”

That sounds like fun. Bros, get your tickets.

August 10th: “The 25-Episode History of MST3K served up hot and fast! http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/08/the-25-episode-history-of-mystery-science-theater.html … via @pastemagazine”

Best thing about this show, it’s kinda timeless. You can watch it any time.

August 13th: “Bless the Beastie Boys and the Children #HipHopMovies”

Or Citizen Kanye, Ice Cube Station Zero, The Cabinet of Dr. Dre…

August 20th: “It’s national radio day, and if you listen to the radio today they’ll be talking or playing songs about the radio all day.”

Kinda self serving.

August 29th: “This planet is long overdue for a major “Kraft Natural Cheese” Disaster. ”

As long as the Kraft Natural Cheese dam holds, we’ll be fine.

August 30th: “It’s @frankconniff s birthday today. Have a wonderful birthday Buddy, and thanks for all the #deephurting ”

Good times…

September 1st: “I think I figured out the inspiration for Trump’s hair pic.twitter.com/1KOFVYHRSq”

He could put a campaign pin right there.

September 7th: “Climatologists are predicting a “Godzilla” sized El Nino this fall/winter, so shouldn’t we be calling it Minilla? pic.twitter.com/xvtWkQxk3B”

They don’t know how to market climate change. They should call it something way more unpleasant like, “Giant Dick Storm”.

September 7th: “Coming to the Greenwich Odeon in Greenwich R.I September 18th and 19th, two big shows, all real. https://odeum.ticketleap.com/riffing/”

Get your tickets, bros. It’ll be funny. Joel’s a genius.

Okay, let’s rate Joel’s tweets. A mix of the old and the new. Can’t wait for another season of Other Space. Go watch it if you haven’t. I give Joel a 7 for Mustness, a 9 for Style and an 8 for Insanity. That’s an overall score of 8, but I bump it up to 9 because, like I said, he’s a genius.

And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email me here.

Ten Things I Expect if Hugh Jackman Plays James Bond

by tonyd on September 7, 2015 at 12:01 am

Rejoice Wolverine fans. Hugh Jackman said he’d consider playing James Bond, which isn’t surprising since it probably comes with millions and millions of dollars. Here’s what I expect if this happens.

James Bond uses his claws to kill Baron Blofeld.
The Beast builds all of James Bond’s weapons.
Professor X telepathically updates Bond on his missions.
Bond no long dodges bullets because of his healing factor.
Bond smokes again!
When Odd Job throws his hat at Bond, he just let’s it bounce off his adamantium skeleton.
Marvel has Bond appear in Civil War.
Bond bangs Phoenix, Rogue and every other female in the Marvel Universe.
Bond calls everyone “Bub”.
James Bond actually sings the opening credit song.

Frat Boy At the Movies: Mad Max: Fury Road

by tonyd on September 5, 2015 at 12:01 am

Boy, am I late to this party, bros. But yeah, I finally saw the new Mad Max. It wasn’t bad. Let’s break it down.

I wasn’t going to see this movie at all because I expected another pathetic reboot. Who knew that Hollywood finally got the message that people usually hate those? I mean, if you’re a fan, you’re going to be annoyed at the changes and if the movie sucked to begin with you’re unlikely to go to it because of the bad taste in your mouth from the first one. So yeah, this is a new, original, Mad Max story.

Tom Hardy is Max and he is a mix of all the previous Mel Gibson incarnations. About all he has is the same jacket and old car. After being captured by rejects from the Borderlands video game, Max is dragged along when one of the henchmen attempts to run away with the big baddie’s wives. Played by Charlize Theron, this character is as badass as Max himself. They are soon fighting it out on the desert.

The movie is very stripped down. Max doesn’t even introduce himself until the third act. The stunts are fun and amazing. There’s not a tremendous amount of character development, unless you count Max’s PSTD from the previous films. Still, it’s well-paced and good fun. Solid all the way to the end. If I had to say one negative thing about it, the plot is a little unambitious. It’s definitely worth seeing and is now on On-Demand.

I give Mad Max: Fury Road 8 keggers out of 10.
