Justin Long Wants a Career in Porn – WTF!?!?!

Okay, I need help, can someone please explain this to me?

In an article in the Sydney Morning Herald today Justin Long (actor and ‘Mac’ in the I’m a PC and I’m a Mac ads) says he is considering moving to porn. Is this true or is he joking around?

The article is a puff piece about his new film ‘Going the Distance’ and his on again off again relationship with actress and co-star Drew Barrymore, but when you get to the very bottom of the article he is asked what his next move is and he replies with this:

‘‘I know this is going to sound like a joke but I’ve been looking at some potential jobs in the porn industry,’’ he says. Continue reading

Trailer: Uwe Boll’s new film ‘Auschwitz’ – Disturbing Stuff

Before we go any further, the teaser trailer below is graphically disturbing, so if you are sensitive, best to turn away now.

Here is the teaser trailer for Uwe Boll’s new film ‘Auschwitz’, wait don’t run away yet! Like ‘Rampage’ before it, this actually looks like it might have some merit. It would seem we have two versions of Uwe Boll on our hands: cheap and nasty Uwe who produces crap like ‘Bloodrayne’ and ‘Postal’ and a somber more controlled Uwe who produces films like ‘Rampage’, ‘Tunnel Rats and now ‘Auschwitz’. I recently had the chance to watch ‘Rampage’ and I found it quite engaging and disturbing. I think Uwe has this dark side that he only lets out every now and again. Continue reading

100th Episode Delayed

Now somewhere, someone’s grandmother (not mine) said “if it isn’t worth doing well, it isn’t worth doing at all.” And I mostly believe in this statement, I just wish my grandmother had said it to me. But with that sentiment in mind I am going to delay the 100th episode of our shows. That means there will be no shows this week but we will be back in strong and fine form next week.

Why?!? I hear some you screaming this already. An explanation is in order I guess. We (Josh and I) had planned the 100th episode as our big new shiny re-launch of the podcasts. Some of it has been done already, such as the breaking up of the shows and the new cover art that was revealed last week. However, we also planned on new graphics, a re-designed studio and most importantly better video quality in 16:9 format. Although we have already improved the video (still in standard 4:3 format) and mostly re-designed the studio it isn’t all finished yet. To get the video into 16:9 widescreen we also have to completely redo all of the video and graphics that we present on the show as the original graphics etc. are all in the standard 4:3 format.

So, Josh and I have put off the 100th episode re-launch until next week to make sure we can give you the best shows we can. We will be back on September 18th with new film reviews, new tech news and most importantly with our 100th episode celebrations. The Little Geek Show will also finally have a new episode next week with Nicholas and I giving our opinions on the new family film, The Last Airbender. Nicholas has had a rough time over the last couple of months with school and illness that we just haven’t been able to get an episode out, he is very excited to be back.

Until then, the site will continue as normal and we will still have our Un-Official Geek Actually Movie Club meet up nights (tonight is The Sorcerer’s Apprentice at the Ritz Cinema – go to our forum for details) and you could see this as an opportunity to catch up on past episodes or listen to me on last week’s Right This Instant hosted by Brad Anderson over at The Movie Fan House (moviefanhouse.com).

So, I hope to see a nice full chat room on the 18th because it is going to be an awesomely fun series of shows on that day.

Julia Gillard Returned as Prime Minister of Australia

Finally, after 17 days of negotiations, the Labor party has been returned (with the help of the Greens and independents) to government. Prime Minister Julia Gillard can finally get back to work and we will get the National Broadband Network that all of us geeks want.

Interesting to note that because it is a minority government, the face of federal politics in Australia is going to change and it is going to be very interesting to watch as a few independent MPs basically hold the balance of power against the two major parties. Let the good times roll :-)
