Frat Boy At the Movies: The Hunger Games

by tonyd on April 6, 2012 at 1:06 am

The Hunger Games, based on the book, is about a dystopian future where the world and/or US is divided into 12 districts and each year they sacrifice one boy and girl to fight to the death in a television Running Man-esqe show called The Hunger Games.  Jennifer Lawrence, who is awesome in Winter’s Bone if you haven’t seen it, is pretty awesome in this.  Stanley Tucci, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrleson and Lenny Kravitz play the host and the main character’s support team respectively.

The movie is decent, but that’s not really the problem.  The problem is, it’s extraordinarily hard to portray the future.  The same problems with bringing 1984 to the screen, plague this movie.  It’s hard to relate to the characters because most of your time is consumed trying to understand how their world works.  Now, I didn’t read the books, so I went into this movie with only the knowledge I had gleaned from reviews like this at NPR.   That reviewer called the movie “the work of moral cowards” for not portraying the carnage like the book.  I can see some of that in Gary Ross’s direction.  The emphasis is all on the kids and very little on the side characters.

Unfortunately, the side characters explain this world and set what little tone there is.  Consequently, the world isn’t fully formed by the time the games start, so I wasn’t totally on board with what was at stake.  And without the grounding of when this movie takes place, I couldn’t really relate to some of the events.  Obviously either the main character is going to win or there’s going to be some kind of revolution.  Elements of both are hinted at, but ultimately this is Part 1 of 3, so I think the movie makers pulled their punch with some of the material.

Is it good?  Well, it’s entertaining.  But it felt like a long episode of the Twilight Zone or a sci-fi special, not a major motion picture.  This probably would’ve worked much better as a mini-series.  I honestly don’t know how they’re going to make it to the third one and the ending is kind of, well—  It just sort of ends and feels very much like a TV episode.  So, I guess if you’ve read the books and liked them, you’ve probably already seen it.  If you haven’t, I’d say this is more of a rental.  I give it 6 keggers out of 10.

Twitter in Focus: Megan Ganz

by tonyd on April 4, 2012 at 12:01 am

Hey Bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die.  Today’s TIF contestant is Megan Ganz, writer for Community.  It’s a funny show, let’s see if her Twitter matches up.

@meganganz

March 27th:  “False alarm. I thought it was blood but it’s red wine. There’s red wine coming out of my eyeballs. I’m fine.”

You either have drank way too much wine or way too much blood.  Either way, it’s doctor time.

March 27th:  “I highly recommend @peteholmez‘s podcast You Made It Weird. His weird is our gain. Check it out!”

Cool.

March 27th:  (retweet)  “NEW VIDEO: Streets Ahead Remix (inspired by Community) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xydU-iX_vy0”

Ha, that’s awesome.

March 28th:  “@danharmon @jonchan8 So we missed a joke. We missed a lot of jokes in that episode, but you have to give Chevy some lines.”

Poor Chevy.  Fortunately for you, he’s too old for Twitter.

March 28th:  “How weird is it that I watch SHERLOCK while mentally chanting “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” Am I gay or just gay for gay?”

Gay for gay, I’d say.

March 29th:  “If you don’t watch tonight’s COMMUNITY (written by @cpmckenna), tomorrow when everything in the world is different, you’ll have no idea why.”

But if I watch it on Hulu later, will things go back?

March 29th:  “See how many DERRICK members you can spot in tonight’s episode, directed by @daneckman.”

Hmm.  Three?

March 30th: “Can TV be uploaded into my eyeballs already? And can all TV be written by @cpmckenna? Thanks cheers you’re welcome.”

Don’t sell yourself short, Megan.  The Documentary Film Making Redux was quite an episode.

March 30th:  “I’m so hungover my inner monologue is British.”

Quite.

March 30th:  “@abobrow Besides, Britta’s favorite movie is SICKO, which she has never seen.”

Now see?  That’s behind-the-scenes insight.  Why can’t I get that on all my Twitters?

March 30th:  “”And then ever so slowly, almost imperceptibly, all of her clothes became yoga clothes.” — good line for whoever writes my obituary”

I see you wrote for Dmitri Martin’s show too.  That was a good show.  Very funny.

March 30th:  “Oh, cute Apple store employee, why won’t you flirt with me? And why can’t I think of anything clever to say about external hard drives?”

In those yoga clothes?  How did he stand a chance?

March 30th:  “”I prefer my hard drives internal.” God dammit that would have worked.”

Or that you needed assistance with an open port.

March 31st:  “Considering that I am headed to a beautiful tropical paradise, I brought far too many comic books.”

No such thing.

April 2nd:  “Hipstacrabic. http://pic.twitter.com/3Ms85EvC”

I’m not seeing tiny glasses on him, but I assume I’ve never heard any of his bands.

Okay, let’s rate Megan’s tweets.  I give her a 7 for Insanity, an 8 for Mustness and a 10 for Style.  That’s an overall score of 8.3.  Definitely worth following especially if you’re a Community fan.  And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email us here.

Level Up: Red Dead Redemption

by tonyd on April 2, 2012 at 12:01 am

I know this review way after the fact, but fuck it.  I have to give credit where credit is due, bros.  Red Dead Redemption is one of the best video games I’ve ever played.  Just picked it up with my Game Stop gift certificate for my birthday and it was worth every electronic cent.

First, there’s the graphics.  Breathtaking landscapes and sunrises, cacti and animals running about.  The game also has a hint of sepia tone to give it a Wild West look.

Second, the navigation.  Rockstar Games is always good with this.  9 times out of 10, you have complete control of the character.  Once in a while, my hand slipped and I’d accidentally rob or hijack someone’s horse, but that was easily remedied.  Either I’d run away (just like in Grand Theft Auto) until the locals stopped chasing me or I’d just reload my previous save point.  Getting around the rather large map is easy.  Hopping a stage coach allows you to skip the trip and get to the point, another great feature with most Rockstar Games.

Third, and probably most important, the story.  I’ve seen plenty of movies that don’t have half the story this game has.  John Marsten is an ex-outlaw.   Forced to resume his “bad” life as a bounty hunter, he has to hunt down his old gang.  I can’t tell you what happens in the last act, but let me tell you, it was spectacular.  Just when you think the game is going to end, boom!  One more scene.  By the end of this game, I really wanted my revenge on one of the characters.

And if that all wasn’t enough, the End of the Year Edition comes with one of the most talked about add-ons, the zombie version.   So after you’re done with the serious story, you can get to blowing away undead guys.  I can’t remember a game that offered so much for its money.  And now, the game is in stores used for half the price.  If you haven’t played this game bros, get it now.  I give it 10 kegs out of 10.
