WatchHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer
I actually haven’t seen any of the Harry Potter movies all the way through since Prisoner of Azkaban. Once I finished reading the series, I realized I didn’t need to see it on the screen. The Deathly Hallows is such a wonderful end to that series of stories and I’m really glad they decided to put it in two parts so they could include...

Is Dustin Hoffman out of 'Little Fockers'? →
Now that the trailer is circulating the intertubes, I felt like I was the only person asking this question. EW has a bit of information on the subject:
Sources tell EW.com that there has been strife between Hoffman and the studio over the size of the part, the scheduling of the days on set and other difficulties. Hoffman had tentatively agreed to appear in what was to be a very funny cameo at...

Movie Trailer of the Day: First official teaser trailer for Paul Weitz’s Little Fockers — the third (and final?) installment in the Fockers Saga.
The film, which stars the you-know-who, along side Raven-Symoné, Jessica Alba, Laura Dern and Harvey Keitel, opens in theaters December 22.
[traileraddict.]
Where is Dustin Hoffman? He was one of the best parts of the second movie.

New Pixar Short Film DAY & NIGHT Now Available on... →
popculturebrain:
In the shadow of Toy Story 3 lives Day & Night, the madcap brilliant short that plays before it. Though it gets a little preachy and obvious, it is for the most part blow your face off genius. Get it.
I concur. The shorts from Pixar are usually brilliant. Day & Night is no exception.

Launchlist - One stop website checklist! →
For those of us that have made websites in the past or make them now, the project difference and requirements vary so much that each new gig has to be treated differently. Sometimes stuff gets left out.
Not anymore. Not with Launchlist. This is a great little one-stop tool for checking to see if your site is ready to launch. Love it.

“I can now die a happy air guitarist. Coolest photo ever.”
– 2008 World Champion and best air guitarist of all-time, Hot Lixx Hulahan models his brand new Mean Melin T-shirt (and pulls off a sweet MM trademark sneer). How awesome is that?
I still have some left after the mass order to help me get to Vegas, so if you want one, email me at...

Your right to comment ends at my front door. →
Derek Powazek talks about the entire web as a commenting system and his decision to turn comments off in his latest redesign as well as sites like John Gruber’s Daring Fireball, which have not had comments on their site, well, ever since I’ve been reading them.
…I’ve seen incredible communities form in the confines of comment forms. I’ve seen funny, helpful, informative,...

A Letter From Pete Docter | /Film →
Pixar does so many things right. I can’t wait for Toy Story 3 this weekend and hopefully Pete Docter’s Monster’s, Inc. sequel at some point in the future.
Docter’s UP was wonderful storytelling on display. This letter that he wrote to a kid…almost as good.

KC Barbecue
I’ve now eaten at most of the KC Barbecue standards (except for LC’s). Today, I had lunch at Danny Edwards Blvd. BBQ, a place that I’ve seen from I-35 for years, but have never frequented (likely because I’ve never worked close enough to Southwest Boulevard to go there on my lunch break).
So KC Free Press is running a poll asking “What’s the best BBQ in...

Random thought on 'Glee' Finale
popculturebrain:
Aside from the world’s shortest child birth, the finale was quite believable. If we assume that New Directions and Vocal Adrenaline were real groups, there’s no way Vocal Adrenaline would lose. Their choreography and production value alone was other worldly. Sure we’re supposed to root for McKinley, the scrappy underdogs, but objectively speaking the soulless automatons of...

The MTV #!@$ing Movie Awards
popculturebrain:
I’m not even going to discuss the awards, because there’s really no point. (Angelina Jolie was nominated for movie that hasn’t even come out yet?!) But if we look beyond those pesky formalities, there were some genuine funny moments. Yes, they went live and abused the humor that comes from cussing (hence the title) but the sketches, the appearances, and Aziz all hit the mark....
