Random thoughts while watching a few movies and tv shows this week along with reading a few articles on-line.
1. Geena Davis needs to get another good role! -- I really missed the bad ass Geena Davis. I don't care what the critics say, The Long Kiss Goodnight was a fun movie. Cutthroat Island....not so much. For fun though check out this look back from Den of Geek.
2. On Joan Jett's brief appearance in Repo! The Genetic Opera -- She looks pretty damn good for a 53 year old Rock Goddess!
3. Arthur's being remade!! -- This one both saddens me greatly and makes me really happy. Dudley Moore was a comic genius. The original Arthur, along with Arthur II on the rocks and Wholy Moses are some of my favorite comedies of all time. Russell Brand is an acquired taste. From what I have seen in the previews and interviews...this could be great. I loved him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek. His stand up kinda does nothing for me. But, I will reserve judgement until I see the movie this weekend.
4. Sequel to Monster, Inc is coming in 2013 -- All I need to say about this is... HELL YES!! More Mike and Sully? Yes Please (plus any world where Billy Crystal is still making movies, animated or not, is a better world)
5. When Harry Met Sally 2 -- Just watch...then see above comment.
6. I now officially hate MTV with every fiber of my soul...and it all has to do with this news release (I hate them so much...I'm not even going to type the words!)
7. Hop took in more in it's first weekend than Sucker Punch as to date...makes me kinda worried for Superman!
8. Diary of a Wimpy Kid has taken in almost $10 million more than Sucker Punch...makes me kinda worried for Superman!
9. Back for another Den Of Geek story that has me excited -- Taken 2 Finds is director, and Maggie Grace is back.
10. Bill & Ted 3?? -- Still undecided about this one. Keanu has stated that he thinks there is still a story there to be told. Me...I'm not too sure. One thing I know is that, San Dimas High Football Rules, the movie will not be the same without George Carlin.

The Best of Twitter -- Pt. 4 ... "news"
The final installment in my look at my twitter follow list will center on the "news" feeds that I follow. These are by no means the be all end all of the twitter news options out there...but these are the few that I follow on a daily basis and if you consider yourself a geek/techo nerd some of them you should follow too.
Gizmodo -- @gizmodo
Get the latest news on everything tech related. From the newest computer games, to the newest video game. They were also one of the first sites to point out the antenna problem with the iPhone 4. If it wasn't for this Twitter feed I probably wouldn't have ended up with the free bumber case I have on my phone.
Den of Geek -- @dennofgeek
A great British site that is devoted to all things geek. If you are a fan of: Comics, TV shows, movies and games then give them a shot. Also, I suggest adding the full site to your reading list. It's and easy way to kill a few hours at work. Fans of Dr.Who, Torchwood and all things British comedy/sci fi should find this site to their liking. With daily gossip on what's going on in Hollywood and beyond making the Twitter feed and site a daily addition is a good idea!
SyFy -- @blastr
Updates on all the goings on in the Syfy world. Not just limited to the Syfy channel. Here you will find rumors on upcoming projects. Pictures from set and all manner of trailers. If you miss a week you can also tune into their weekly review where they look at not only the top stories...but the top reader comments to those stories. Maybe they'll make you famous! (I also reccomend the iPhone app)
CNN breaking news -- @cnnbrk
Always at work? Not always in a place where you can keep up with the world around you? Well, try to follow this feed and set up mobile alerts and you will never miss a celebrity death, war/coup, or crazy weather event.
Mental Floss -- @mental_floss
Talk about learning things you never knew you needed to know! Ever wondered what the rarest video game is? How about famous killers who were executed even though the people they were conviced of killing later turned up alive? If stories like that and enough geek related quizzes to make your mind spin is what gets you though your day then you probably already follow them and their site...and get the magazine. If you do stop in make sure to say hello to my buddy Rob who writes for them. (he can also be found on Twitter @spacemonkeyx )
Geeks are Sexy -- @geeksaresexy
Geeks are sexy. Even if other people won't admit it. Links from this site will take you to engaging articles like: Tongue Wrestle Mania: The Art and Science of French Kissing, Dungeons & Dragons: A Threat to Prison Security?, and The Truth about Infographics! How can you go wrong?
