Pontypool LA Screening Tonight

Pontypool

Here’s a new zombie film for all the dead heads out there, ZeaLouS1 included, called Pontypool about a radio DJ caught in the studio on-air during a zombie outbreak. Think Howard Stern meets World War Z. I can’t believe I’ve never asked Z1 what we’d do if the zombie apocalypse went down during The Takeover. I know we’d have SoBe, but that runs out by the third hour. Oh God! What would we do then?!

If you’re in the Los Angeles area tonight, with nothing to do since the election is over (I know I’m looking for something new to focus on) there’s “a free, first-come first-served, screening of the film [tonight] - Thursday November 6th - in Westwood at 8pm.” Twitch has all the details about RSVPing if you plan on making it down. I really want to go myself, because free is free, and zombies are zombies, but that’s a drive to take in a flick all the way from San Diego without a date. Wonder if I can dig one up. Get it? “Dig” one up? Ah, you get it :P

Paramore “Decode” Video Premiere

posted by The Dark Prince

We played this song from Paramore a few shows ago, because I love it, and because I make our playlists each week. I’m not much of a fan of Paramore, in fact I find some of their songs a little bit annoying at times, but “Decode” . . . wow, gorgeous song. This video ties in the upcoming teeny-bopper vampire flick “Twilight,” which I may or may not see in theaters. May because it’s vampires, duh (I saw “Vampire in Brooklyn” in theaters for the same reason) may not because, well, teeny-boppers.

Check out the vid, Twilight opens nationwide November 21:

I Am Blind

Blindness Movie

If you’ve been watching the ads on the site as of late, you’ve noticed that we get some really strange and cool ones from time to time. One ad I caught last week was white with a little haze of soft blue and the simple words, “I am blind.” That’s it. I had to click it, and when I did, I was directed to this site. It has a few videos, pictures and forums . . . of blind people.

It turns out, the site is a clever viral marketing campaign for the new movie Blindness, a sci-fi type of drama where the entire world’s population suddenly and mysteriously goes blind. The site let’s you join and interact with the blind population, post pictures of yourself in your “blind person glasses”, and watch videos of the last things people saw before they went blind. It’s all very cool, and the movie looks so incredibly intriguing, I can’t wait to see it. Check out the trailer:

Sex Drive Cast Photo

I don’t usually recommend things that were blatantly advertised to me without any regard for if I will like them or not, but I thought the girl on the advert was cute, so . . . here’s the trailer for the upcoming comedy Sex Drive! Don’t worry, it’s actually really funny, especially when the guy brings up meeting girls on the Internet and Dateline NBC :P That’s SO Andy! (It’s funny because it’s true.)
