Friend of Moron Life and star of "Litter PSA" Sean Becker was fired as a director of the popular web series "The Guild" this morning after an incident involving The Urkell.
We at Moron Life are saddened by this news, and support Mr. Becker 100% in his decision.
So last week, I jumped on the bandwagon and watched the inevitable hit summer movie Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. Normally I’d review a movie for the site, but this movie is pretty much critic proof and it’d be pointless to add to that noise. I will just say that I liked it better than the first one and that all I wanted out of that movie was tons of robot on robot carnage and a good time. I got both. What I wanted to talk about more though was the overall experience I had in the theatre sitting with fellow Moron Lifer Paul Fernandez and a bunch of our friends and some of the things we laughed at, noticed and/or just enjoyed. So get ready for some blatant racism, sexism, ego stroking and so much more as we discover how the Transformers experience was more than meets the eye!
If you have any interest in Japanese animation (aka anime), comics (manga), Asian cinema and videogames for every platform imaginable, Fanime Con is the place to be. Returning to the San Jose Convention Center this past Memorial Day Weekend, Fanime is my favorite convention to attend every year (yes, even more than Wondercon or even -- dare I say it? -- Comic-Con). It’s not so much about getting the latest news about upcoming movies or collecting as much free swag as your grubby little arms can hold. Instead, Fanime is more about being with fans and expressing your inner geek.
So just in case you missed any or all days of Fanime Con 2009, here’s ten key reasons (along with a lot of pictures) why it was the place to be.
Hangovers, at least by personal experience, are harrowing episodes of nausea, agony and if you’re lucky the shakes. I’ve known hangovers to stay with me for days and make me swear to never again, abuse the substances that made me that way. But if there’s been long enough time between my last bad hangover and say an upcoming birthday party, I usually forget what a complete work over they do on my system. Kind of like a Todd Phillips movie. No, that’s not fair, because I like good Todd Phillips movies, mostly (ie: Road Trip and his defining Old School) but sometimes, like getting well vodka on a bad bender, you get an off Todd Phillips film (School for Scoundrels, Starsky and Hutch) and you just can’t shake ‘em. So how does Phillips new film, The Hangover fair? Well, if you’re calling Old School some top shelf Tequilla, The Hangover might find itself somewhere on the back counter.
Fanboys return to San Jose! Keeping it real with the geek set, San Jose once again welcomed the popular comic book/popular culture convention, Super-Con to the convention center tent on May 16 and 17th. A separate and albeit smaller convention than San Francisco's Wondercon, Super-Con shines in the sense that it allows the fans a real chance to actually meet and converse with talents from the industry and this year was no exception. This year the Morons once again teamed up with our sister site www.fanboyplanet.com for an awesome Super-Con Podcast. So while you listen to that, you can check out these cool costumes from around the Super-Con Floor.
