“You could say this is a mainstream film if an alien’s saying it”
– Greg Mottola
Our favorite Simon Pegg and Nick Frost projects were directed by Edgar Wright. That’s Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and the BBC series Spaced. While Wright made Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Pegg and Frost wrote a script for the comedy Paul, and Greg Mottola got to direct them.
In Paul, Frost and Pegg play aspiring sci-fi authors and fans who begin a road trip at San Diego Comic-Con. After a montage of Comic-Con adventures, they take to the road again to visit America’s alien sites. Soon they meet a real alien, Paul (Seth Rogen), and have to help him get home.
INTO: Long Islands in Long Island, and Manhattans in Manhattan. I like traveling and drinking. I don’t eat anything that has parents. I’m 24 and I’ve masturbated my way into carpal tunnel.
NOT INTO: Waking up when it’s still dark out.
MAKES ME HAPPY: Mom, sister, my pup, my cat, friends who are there til the end, travel, culture, accents, mimosas, noodles, animals, daydreaming, reading, smoking in bathrooms, great girlfriends.
MAKES ME SAD: Wasted potential.
HOBBIES: I’m a daydreaming bookworm.
5 THINGS I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT: Music, jeggings, White Strips, happiness, trouser snakes.
VICES: Sugarfree Red Bull.
I SPEND MOST OF MY FREE TIME: Studying, going out to eat, picking up after myself, petting cute animals, looking at photos.
MOST HEATED DISCUSSION THREAD: Girls Who HC Dance – basically it started out as a discussion about whether girls should mosh or not, but turned into a thread for photoshopped pictures of Moshzilla. Personally, I couldn’t care less about who moshes at a show, but the pics are hilarious!
WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: Hardcore kids, punks, headbangers, stage divers, thrashers, and anyone who likes their riffs heavy..
Fellow distinguished SG members and readers, I have some most excellent news. In a bodacious turn of events, it seems the totally awesome Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted Theodore Logan (a.k.a. Bill and Ted) will be coming back to a future on a big screen near you – with the aid of their time-traveling phone booth. (No way! Way!!!)
“What I’d like my daughter to do is to be a critical thinker.”
– Kari Byron
MythBusters, Discovery Channel’s hit show which attempts to test popular legends, misconceptions, and tropes, is coming back on April 6th for their eighth year of bringing science with a heavy dose of explosives to television.
Co-host Kari Byron started as an intern at fellow host Jamie Hyneman’s special-effects shop M5 Industries at practically the same moment the show first began filming. From her first appearance as a model for an experiment, her critical thinking, artistic sensibility, and on-screen charisma allowed her role on the show to grow until she became part of a trio of co-hosts with special-effects veterans Grant Imahara and Tory Belleci who now have their own shop, M7, and test myths for the show in parallel with the original core duo of Hyneman and Adam Savage.
MAKES ME HAPPY: My boyfriend, romantic stuff, love letters, a romantic dinner somewhere, candles, swimming at night, flowers, pillow fights, biting, kisses on the roof, rain, foamy baths, massages, unexpected tenderness, drawing, watching movies, beautiful clothes, sunsets on a rooftop, summer nights, chocolate, sunshine, sea, beaches, girls!
MAKES ME SAD: Being sick, racism, monthlies, lost friends, fighting with my parents, wasting time, killing animals.
