Book Review: Practical Jean Posted: 30 Nov 2011 09:12 PM PST Practical Jean By Trevor Cole Paperback | Kindle Harper Perennial Release Date: October 11, 2011 In Practical Jean, Jean Vale Horemarsh lives a nice small town life with her not so wonderful husband and her small town friends. After taking care of her dying mother, Jean has a change of heart on how to live life. She thinks that people should die at the happiest moments of life rather than growing old and dying of an illness. Jean decides to give this gift of dying at your happiest moment to her best friends. She decides that she has to kill her friends. When I first read the description for this book, it sounded like something very new and creative to read. I started to read the book and it took me a few chapters to really dig into the story. After reading for some time, I found myself enjoying where the story was going [...]

Watch Now: Teaser Trailer for ‘Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie’ Posted: 30 Nov 2011 08:15 PM PST It was almost two years ago when I first read in an interview with Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, the creators of Adult Swim's oddball sketch comedy series Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, that the duo were working on their first theatrical feature. Titled Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, the movie would star Heidecker and Wareheim in addition to some big name comedy stars and famed character actors, two groups the show itself never had a shortage of in the cast. But since then little has been heard about the status of the movie or when it would be released. More importantly, once finished would this movie ever be seen? Today we are happy to report that not only has Billion Dollar Movie been completed but it has a distributor, a release date set in stone, and an actual, honest-to-Spagett trailer! [...]

Kind Of First Look At Daniel Day-Lewis As ‘Lincoln’ Is More Than Kind Of Awesome Posted: 30 Nov 2011 07:25 PM PST From shoemaker to one of the most iconic presidents in U.S. history, actor Daniel Day-Lewis has been one of the greatest actors of his generation for, well, a generation. And now, he's taking on Abraham Lincoln, and we have our first, albeit out of context, look at what we may have in store. The Film Stage has the first photo of what appears to be Day Lewis in beard and all, just relaxing, taking in what looks to be quite a delicious meal [...]

Holiday Geek Gift Guide 2011: DVDs & Blu-rays Posted: 30 Nov 2011 05:28 PM PST I was about to start out this gift guide by writing some pretentious crap about the unifying power of cinema and television and how the greatest art form of the past century would make the perfect Christmas gift for that demanding loved one of yours, but then I put down the cough syrup and slapped some sense into myself. But it is true that when you're not sure what to buy someone as a present you can always surprise them with a fine movie or a boxed set of their favorite television series. Then as you sit back and watch their face light up with the joy of angels singing harmoniously in Heaven when they open the gift you can take a sip of spiked egg nog and let out a hearty Errol Flynn laugh because you are victorious and you didn't even try. That's why we here at Geeks of Doom want to aid you in your soul-destroying quest to find that ideal DVD or Blu-ray if you've got the extra dough (and you drink silver chalices full of orphan tears), for that special someone in your life [...]

Francesco Francavilla’s Variant Cover For ‘Archie Meets KISS’ Reminds Me What Love Is Posted: 30 Nov 2011 04:06 PM PST I'm really kind of ashamed to admit that I don't read Archie Comics regularly. There's no reason for me not to, I mean, I don't dislike them. In fact, I like them a lot more than a great deal of comics I read on a regular basis. Sure, sometimes Archie and the gang don't provide a whole lot of excitement for a lot of readers, but then they go and do something like bringing KISS to Riverdale. And what could be better than that? Only one thing, getting Francesco Francavilla on variant cover duties. You can check out the cover below. [...]

‘The Book of Mormon’ Recoups Its Budget, Now Officially Making Money Posted: 30 Nov 2011 12:40 PM PST The Book of Mormon, the comedic Broadway musical created by South Park masterminds (and BASEketball stars) Trey Parker and Matt Stone along with Robert Lopez, has become the toast of the Great White Way since opening on March 24. Recently the critically-acclaimed show, which has won nine Tony awards and five Drama Desk awards, finally recouped its production costs and is now turning a profit for its investors [...]

Daniel Radcliffe To Play Allen Ginsberg In ‘Kill Your Darlings’ Posted: 30 Nov 2011 10:16 AM PST One of the more interesting projects being batted around Hollywood has been the long talked about film, Kill Your Darlings. Originally announced in 2009, the film has been relatively stagnant when it comes to production moving forward, but that's about to change. Twitch is reporting that Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe will star in the film, which is set to be helmed by John Krokidas. Kill Your Darlings will follow the story of Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Lucien Carr, and their relationship with one another. The film was originally set to star Jesse Eisenberg, Ben Wishaw, and Chris Evans, but will now see Radcliffe taking on the role originally set for Eisenberg, that of Ginsberg himself [...]

The GoD List: Comics For November 30, 2011 Posted: 30 Nov 2011 09:00 AM PST Each and every week "The American Dragon" MK2Fac3 and "Hall of Pain" Henchman21 read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible… theoretically. They look forward to some more than others, I mean, who doesn't? So, let's take a look into the depths of their pull lists, grab some comics, and we'll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of November 30, 2011. Single issues and trades, they're all here. So, how was everyone's Thanksgiving, huh? Did you get all full on your family dinners? Was it a lot of fun? Did you go out and shop at midnight on Black Friday? Or maybe you waited by your computer for all the Amazon Black Friday deals! I'll bet that was a blast! Well, get over it! It's a new week and hardly anything is coming out, so you can either be thankful that you don't have to spend that much money this week, or you could head over to look at our Amazon wish lists and get US something! You ever think of that?? Sorry folks, I'm bitter and grumpy because I haven't slept in days. Our editor has chained me to my laptop and it's burning my arms. Make it stop! [...]

Google Honors Mark Twain With Doodle Posted: 30 Nov 2011 08:01 AM PST In honor of Mark Twain's 176th birthday today, Google has created for their home page a doodle depicting the famous fence painting scene from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. While it may seem like an odd milestone to celebrate, the fact is, nothing else of note has ever happened on this date in American history. So, let's whoop it up for Twain, for his life's work has entertained multiple generations with his unique vernacular and poignant social commentary that some well-intentioned lunatics would like to censor at this late stage [...]

David Ayer To Write ‘Scarface’ Reboot Posted: 30 Nov 2011 07:08 AM PST We've reached the top of the mountain. Things appear to only be looking down from this point on. Deadline is reporting that David Ayer has been tapped to scribe a new project, a reboot of Scarface. That's right, everyone's favorite coke snorting gangster is heading back to the big screen for the third time [...]
