Irrelevant But Awesome

Ah yes, another review that I was never approached to write nor was it ever specified that it was needed. Well you're going to get it anyway. Why? Because I can and you will like it as per our contractual agreement. You may be asking, "What contractual agree are you talking about, Doctor?" And my response is you are all focusing on the wrong point and let's take this discussion back to the reason we are all joined here today. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you The Cabin in The Woods , a comedic horror movie that is sometimes more comedy than horror. This little bit of business is directed by Drew Goddard and was the brainchild of both Goddard and lord of the nerds, Joss Whedon. By all means, I should have written this review two years ago, back when the movie was slated to be release. However, timing was a cruel beast as the film came to be just as MGM studios was crumbling into bankruptcy (which is an absurd to spell but is awesome for Words with Friends) in ...

A new Wreck-It Ralph Poster A New Wreck-It Ralph Trailer November 2nd can't get here fast enough.

So for some time now, pictures, such as the ones below, have shown up from time to time on the ineternet.  Pictures such as those have all been about a movie. A Godzilla movie. An American made Godzilla movie. Now this isn't the first time America has attempted to take on the big moster from Japan, but this is an exciting post, so we'll not worry about the 1998 attempt right now.  The important thing to note is that yes, this Godzilla movie is moving forward, and it was announced today that Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. have scheduled the Godzilla movie to be released on May 16th, 2014.  As of right now, not much is known about the movie, other than the images above, the fact that director   Gareth Edwards has been tapped to bring the monster to the screen, and a surprise trailer and teaser poster that debuted earlier this year at Comic-Con. The trailer hasn't yet made it's way to the internet, but you can check out the poster be...

As a franchise, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is one that has reached a level that few can ever hope to obtain. From movies, to video games, to action figures, to, of course, TV shows, the turtles are everywhere. And for many, the biggest part of that franchise was the Turtles cartoon from the late 80s and early 90s. Which is why it's so mind boggling that these have been the most difficult incarnations to get of the turtles for some time now.  James Rolfe, (The Angry Video Game Nerd of Cinnemassacre) released a video some time back that explains the tragedy of the Ninja Turtles DVD releases better than I ever possibly could. So, rather than try, here is the video in full. It should be noted that since that video, seasons nine and ten have been released, but beyond that, there is something that, theoretically at least, is even better. Scheduled for release on November 13th of this year (just in time for holiday shopping) the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Complete Cla...

Recently, several of the writers hear at Irrelevant But Awesome attended Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando. For four days, we were totally immersed in Star Wars, past, present and future. And while there will be time to discuss in great, GREAT detail all of the Star Wars related experiences that we have been through, I wanted to first, take this moment and share with you, something that happened on that trip that was only minimally Star Wars related.  For those that don't know Mark Hamill, who was obviously there for Luke Skywalker related reasons, was also the voice of The Joker on the Batman Animated Series from 1992 till 1995 and then later in several other TV shows, movies, and video games. In an interview with Mark Hamill at Celebration, his role of the Joker was brought up and, for a live audience, Mark Hamill recited a monologue that the Joker had given in the TV show, nearly twenty years earlier.  One of our own was thoughtful enough to record the moment, so he...
