I can’t decide what would be more “LA”, having Katy Perry coming out before an NFL playoff game singing The Star Spangled Banner in the latest designer fashions, with a twenty piece choir backing her… or the frontman of a 90’s experimental funk metal band doing it? Once again everyone this is not an Onion article as Pitchfork.com reported on January 11th that lead singer of Faith No More, Mike Patton, will have the opportunity to pay homage to our country tonight! Even without the mega-phone, the guy has a set of pipes. Personally I have no idea what prompted…

Get ready for another record breaking year for the Marvel Machine! I should probably get used to saying that because Disney shows zero signs of slowing down anytime soon. On March 8th, we’ll turn our attention to the next installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Brie Larson will bring the space heroine Captain Marvel to the big screen. But you know this, I’m sure you’re just as excited about the film’s release as we are here at Nerdbot. And guess what… a whole bunch of people are fired up too. On January 9th, Deadline.com reported that early bird tickets…

I’ll put it to you straight up, I understand and respect RottenTomatoes.com’s place in the world, but I feel audience’s are too influenced by brands. Let’s face it, phrases like “Certified Fresh” and “Tomatometer” are as synonymous with modern cinema as selling beer in the theater. RottenTomatoes is a brand. I like to be the one who decides how much I enjoy a film but even I have waited for Redbox because I heard a movie sucks ass. You’ve done it too, it’s okay. Naturally, after seeing Aquaman I took a casual stroll to Rotten Tomatoes just to see how…

I can remember an old Damon Wayans stand up special where the former In Living Color personality complained about the cost of Disneyland being excessive at like $30.00. This was back in the early 1990’s. I can only imagine what he would have to say now that admission to the park is being increased by 25% in 2019. Wait a minute… a 25% increase on admission fees to the happiest place on Earth not named Del Taco? That’s right everyone, as ktla.com reported on January 6th, Disneyland will hike up the cost of daily admissions, annual passes, and parking. This…

For being a guy who won’t shut up about the DCEU, it sure as hell took me a long time to see Aquaman. Unfortunately the film’s release coincided with my vacation and I didn’t get to the theater until last Sunday. Never doing that again. There’s nothing worse than when there’s a movie you want to see, you’re too busy to see it, then all you see online is a mix CD of positive and negative commentary. Personally I was surprised at the amount of “critics” who really tore this movie apart. I’m not here to write a review but…

Nothing like starting off 2019 with yet another update regarding Matt Reeves’ upcoming solo Batman movie. For those of you who have been as wrapped up in this whole saga as I am… we are finally getting something substantial. And even though it might be a couple years before The Batman hits the theaters, we’re starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The latest update comes from The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision Newsletter. These three commentators; Aaron Couch, Borys Kit, and Graeme McMillian discuss various topics within the industry. During the dialogue, which you can read…

Are the 1990’s two favorite stoners making a comeback? Uh… snoochie boochies! Yes, coming straight from outside the Quick-Stop, Jay and Silent Bob are returning the the big screen. ConsequenceOfSound.net reported on January 2nd that Director Kevin Smith and heterosexual life mate Jason Mews are making a sequel to the 2001, I guess cult hit Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back. Smith confirmed the project (which has been in the mix for a while now) and took to Twitter to commemorate a pre-production meeting. As consequenceofsound.net also reported, the film will be titled Jay And Silent Bob Reboot and is…

Does anyone remember ten years or so ago when you heard that the older brother from Goonies grew up and became the guy in No Country For Old Men? Yeah… feels like yesterday. I remember my friend actually referring to him as “the one dude from Goonies who’s not in Lord Of The Rings”. Then we did keg stands and wondered if Heath Ledger would be a good Joker. In the past I’ve discussed actors like Bill Murray and Michael Keaton who have really come into their element as they’ve gotten older. Think about it, Bill Murray has been making…

Based on the headline alone, you’re probably thinking this is an Onion article… but I assure you it’s not. Over time the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie has aged like a full can of Natural Light left open in the desert for three months. If you don’t consume alcohol, think more Hollywood punchline than cinematic achievement. The flick was so bad, even Ryan Reynolds’ new, and the one he will be remembered for, superhero hero persona Deadpool routinely pokes fun at the expense of the former DC space avenger. Click here for a brief video to illustrate my point. You…

This is the only listicle I write all year. It’s not that I despise the notion of the listicle, I enjoy reading them, but I hate writing them. Except for the one time every three-hundred sixty-five days that I get to rant off my favorite albums of the year. Honestly it’s the only list I feel qualified to write. Of course I can easily belt out like fifty or so titles for you all but quite frankly… it’s a waste of time. Why? To put it to you simply, way too much to absorb. And besides, I believe…
