Looking For Inspiration

Posted on April 11, 2011

No matter what I’ve achieved in my life, occasionally I find myself in need of some inspiration or motivation (or both). Usually, whatever I need comes from inside me and I end up making it work somehow.

Other times, I need to look elsewhere for what I need. Today is one of those days. So, to help me move forward and do what I need to do, here’s a little inspiration from my man Steve Jobs.

Whatever you may think of him or Apple, he certainly knows his way around public speaking. We could all hope to be this good at something someday.

Money quote:

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition.”

Yep. I needed that.

One of My Favorite Trailers This Year: ‘The Social Network’

Posted on July 15, 2010

David Fincher obviously knows what he’s doing. Combine that with a script by master wordsmith Aaron Sorkin and you have a finely crafted film that tells the story of Mark Zuckerber’s quest for acceptance and the founding of Facebook.

Thie new traile for the film dropped today and it’s one of the best I’ve seen in quite some time. For more details, check out my post at The Flickcast. Or, just watch the trailer right here and enjoy.

‘Space Battleship Yamato’ Rocks

Posted on July 9, 2010

Here’s a trailer for a film I’m really looking forward to seeing. Sadly, it doesn’t have a US release . . . yet. Let’s hope by the power of the Internets we can make it happen. Until then, enjoy Space Battleship Yamato.

Phoebe Cates Is Number One

Posted on May 2, 2010

How I didn’t see this before I’ll never know, but apparently the site Mr. Skin rated the all-time best nude scenes in movies and one of my favorite actresses of all time was number one. I’m talking about, of course, Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

To a young man such as myself, Cates represented all that was awesome about girls and helped start us on the way to manhood. I’m very happy that many others obviously share my enthusiasm for Cates. She truly is one of a kind and still looks great today (at 46), btw.

But here she is in her younger days in one of my favorite movies of all time. Also, keep in mind, this video is probably NSFW. Enjoy.

Funny and Awesome

Posted on April 18, 2010

I think I will just let this one stand on its own and not offer any comments.

Some Cool New Trailers

Posted on November 7, 2009

First of all, this trailer for what will surely be my favorite game of the year, Modern Warfare 2, is now up at The Flickcast. In short, it looks awesome. Also, it looks better than most movie trailers I see these days. Curious. Anyway, like I said, its awesome so check it out.

And while we’re on the subject of movie trailers (we were, remember?), here’s the new trailer for The Killer Inside Me, based on the novel by one of my favorite authors, Jim Thompson. In this trailer, which is also up at The Flickcast with more info about the movie, you will see many things including Jessica Alba get spanked with a belt. Yes, you read that right. You’re welcome.

My Favorite New Apple Ad – ‘Broken Promises’

Posted on October 23, 2009

As you probably know, Windows 7 came out this week and, of course, Apple launched an ad campaign to fight this latest encroachment by the “evil empire.” Here’s my favorite one of the new ads so far featuring your old friends Mac and PC. Enjoy.

My Favorite Patrick Swayze Movies

Posted on September 14, 2009

Sadly, the world lost a great guy, a great dancer, a great actor and a great fighter today when Patrick Swayze passed away at 57 from complications due to pancreatic cancer. He will be missed.

I’ve been a fan of the man for years and even had the chance to meet and work with him long ago on a movie probably best forgotten. It wasn’t one of his best films (or mine) and at the time he was a little worse for wear, but still he was always a professional, a friendly, happy man and a pleasure to work with.

That’s the way I’m going to remember him.

Also, I’m going to remember him through his movies. So, in honor of Patrick Wayne Swayze, here’s a few of my favorites.

My friend and colleague Matt Raub interviews musician/writer/director Rob Zombie about his latest film Halloween 2. Which, oddly enough, I review right here.

Check it out.

Video Friday – Magnum Vs. Solo

Posted on June 6, 2009

I’ve been very busy getting The Flickcast on its feet at new hosting (Thank you Media Temple) so I’ve been remiss with the blog. Shocking, I know. Fortunately, I’ve got a great video to share with you this week.

I don’t have much to say about this video except that its extremely funny, especially if you’re an avid fan of both Magnum, P.I. and Star Wars. Which, I’m happy to say, I am.

Enjoy this and realize what it took to make it work. These guys are pretty smart indeed.
