[Video] This Walking Dead Alternate Intro Is Totally Real

I was perusing the interwebs in boredom while listening to old school Wu-Tang tracks and eating ice pops. You know, because it's like 73 degrees everywhere and I came accross this gem. I literally pooped a brick. This is a Walking Dead alternate opening that I had to share. It's not terribly new, but you won't care, you'll LOL yourself to sleep. Check the vid and know that the Internet loves you. And damn you Frank Darabont...damn you to hell.

Safe House: Mediocrity at its best

When I purchased my ticket for Safe House I really wasn't expecting much. After watching a trailer here and there I immediately drew the conclusion that the producers of this film just wanted to inject as much action as possible into the two hours that they were allotted.

Hell, one of the reasons this film is rated R is “Intense violence through out”. To be honest, after reading that I got pretty excited as I just wanted to watch Denzel and Ryan Reynolds kick ass for two straight hours For the most part this would be true if it wasn't for the “Ehh” moments.

The film centers around Matt Weston, a safe house keeper with a smokin' hot French girlfriend (who happens to know nothing about what he does, it being the CIA and all.) About 5-10 minutes into the film we learn that Matt has the job equivalent of the person that has to make cold calls for a telemarketing firm. Matt is eager to step out into field work and prove himself to the agency. Now enters Tobin Frost. A CIA agent (who is illustrated as a badass incarnate) gone rogue...which spells bad news for everybody.

Before long, Tobin is brought into Matt's humble safe house to be “interrogated” until he gives up whatever information they are looking to obtain. They don't even get through two full minutes of the “interrogation” before the safe house is breached, the interrogation team is killed, and Matt is forced to release Tobin from the now compromised safe house and take him along to the next safe house... so says protocol.

From this moment on the film basically becomes an intense chase/run of the mill action flick. Besides the performances of Denzel and Ryan Reynolds, which in my opinion carried the film, everyone else just feels like they are along for the ride. On top of that, the plot was a “Wow, I guessed that coming a mile away!” type of thing. I almost felt like the writers of this film said “Okay, good news boys, we got Denzel on board...now lets just pump out a standard “government espionage” style plot out, and let Denzel and Ryan Reynolds look pretty for the rest of it!”

However, I must say if nothing else, the one thing that this film did outstandingly well was the audio. The audio in this film was off the charts. Never have I been scared by an action film, and this film pulled that off not once, not twice, but on three separate occasions. I literally jumped up out of my seat because I didn't see the next shock and awe hurdling towards my face.

Now with all of that aside I truly do not believe that this movie was worth the $12.50 I paid to watch. Whats even worse than that, is I had to pay for my date's ticket as well. So I paid a total of $25.00 to be underwhelmed in a movie that I thought was going to have kick ass action for at very least a good hour and a half.
Bottom Line: Denzel and Ryan give strong performances, but Safe House has little to offer in the plot department.

Dear Adam Sandler, Please Stop Making Movies

Alright Adam, we get it man. We get that you have stopped caring, we get that you're worth $300 million, we get that you gave Kevin James life after King of Queens, and we get that you love Rob Schneider. The question is--when does it end? You have already tarnished your namesake enough, but obviously you don't care. Maybe that's a good thing. Hell, maybe that's even why you're rich.

I'm just personally sick of it. I can't be alone in thinking this, can I? I loved your early work man, you know, Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore? Then we have arguably your best acting perforamce in "Punch Drunk Love", and I thought you had incredible range. Then you just decided one day, screw it, time to shit on everything you have ever done.

Things just get worse before they get better. The schlock you've been tossing out for the last five years is unbelievable. I mean, just pure, unadulterated shit. Let me break it down for you...

We'll start in 2007 and work are way up.

1. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry: Where do I begin? Let's see, ridiculous premise, not funny, Kevin James is fat and goofy so you chuckle a few times, and you grow very fond of Jessica Biel. Honestly, the gratuitous Biel ass shots almost saved this one for me Adam, almost.

2. You Don't Mess with the Zohan:Dude come on, seriously? You play an Israeli Special Agent who comes to New York only to realize that he wants to become a barber? Who...what...I just, I don't know what to say. Then he goes all bad ass when some bad dudes come to find him? And once again you dupe us with this hottie:

Emmanuelle Chriqui

3. Grown Ups: Why must you bring everyone down with you Adam? Chris Rock is easily one of my favorite comics, and you just cram him right into this hot mess. You've single-handedly supported Rob Schneider. The only reason he has a place to live and food to eat is because of you. And Kevin James? What do you see in this guy? Did he save your life or something and you feel like you owe him something? Yes he can be funny, but for the most part he's very annoying.


4. Just Go With It: I can't say anything bad about this. You used Brooklyn Decker and Jennifer Aniston to divert our attention away from the fact that the movie was awful. How could you stoop so low Adam?

You smug bastard...

5. Jack and Jill: I'm not even going to say anything, just watch.




Is this what it has come to Adam? Look at your body of work, and there are some classics in there somewhere, but you've obviously given up man. You just hand us these crap movies and expect us to pay? Well apparently it's working, congratulations. And what is with the shameless product placement in your movies? Adam, I don't even know who you are these days. I only have on plea dude, please, just please stop making movies. When does the embarrassment end? Have you no self respect? I give up man, but please consider putting an end to this madness, I simply can't take it any more.

Xbox Live Indie Games Comes To Windows Phone With XBLIG Companion

Xbox Live Indie Games has received more exposure in the recent Xbox 360 dashboard update, making indie games easier to find, and helping indie developers get the attention they deserve. The one thing missing for XBLIG was mobile access, which won't be an issue very soon.

What if you could have access to the latest and greatest indie titles on your Windows Phone? What if you could also find the games you're interested in and remotely queue them up for download on your Xbox 360? That's exactly what the XBLIG Companion App, currently in beta, plans to do.

XBLIG Companion is not an official Microsoft app, it's an effort by indie developers to make browsing indie titles a simple process. The developers came together and developed the app which collects information from RSS feeds on xboxindies.com. This gets the best games the best exposure. This is great idea to not only get more exposure for titles, but a smart use of mobile to console functionality. Check the video for additional details.
