You’ve probably seen a dozen or so bad movies in your lifetime, and noticed that some of the worst scenes ever become unintentionally comedic. I’ve always loved these moments and I guess they’re what makes these utterly horrible movies enjoyable to watch, especially with friends! Here’s a collection of the funniest worst movie moments:

1.Troll 2 - Made by an Italian team of filmmakers and a cast of stars from Utah on a low budget, this sequel to an equally horrible movie became one of the biggest cult hits of recent years, thanks to the scene below. Check out that intense line delivery!

2. Tough Guys Don’t Dance - I haven’t even heard of this movie until I saw a clip of (Oscar winner) Ryan O’Neal’s epic line delivery from the film after he reads a… supposedly terrifying letter. Somehow you can really feel the horror.

3. Star Trek: TOS - I love Star Trek and in no way is it a bad show, but this fight sequence totally takes the cake for worst fight scene ever. I mean… wow.

4. Undefeatable - From the worst fight sequence, we jump forward to the most… incredible fight sequence ever captured on film! Whoever did the choreography for this enjoyable scene wouldn’t have thought how unintentionally funny this came out to be: from the facial expressions, shirt ripping, the suddenly oily bodies and a handicapped woman who comes put of nowhere and kicks ass! It’s definitely the best worst scene in a movie, ever.

I’m a huge fan of video game music, and I know it sounds dorky but I probably listen to them more than any other form of music. I also enjoy it when people do amazing covers of these songs. Here’s a couple of videos featuring amazing covers.

Here’s a rockin’ rendition of one of my favorite video game BGMs of all time, the theme from the Dr. Wily´s Castle stage from Megaman 2:

And here’s a couple more. Make sure to check out the one ranked first on the competition, he does the Super Mario Bros. theme using a flute and beatboxing. Flippin’ sweet!

I have three best friends. Names are irrelevant. One of them has been my best friend for about 6 and a half years, the other two I just met this year. Lately, they’ve all been in there little circle excluding me from everything. They will do shit together and not invite me, etc., etc. It’s just pissing me off and I am hoping it’s just a phase because I don’t want to lose them as friends, especially the one I’ve been friends with for a long time.

We were all supposed to do something tomorrow, and I have a strong feeling they will end up having me not come. I’m just pissed and I don’t know what to do. Or maybe I’m just being paranoid, I dunno.

For people who work on cubicles (like me), there are times when everything seems like a routine and it get’s pretty boring. I was able to find some ways to make work more fun and interesting for everyone though, even if it’s just for a while.

1. Cubicle Toys - It might seem geeky, but having action figures or desktop toys kinda makes you feel relaxed and more comfortable with work. Being a collector I bring some of my extra figures to work, and when I feel uneasy or when I’m out of ideas, it’s fun to reach out to one of them and pose them around. You can also get some wacky office supplies or cube toys too, as long as it’s okay with your boss otherwise you’ll get in serious trouble.

2. Dress Theme Days - Here’s one thing our office is currently doing. Every Wednesday, we have an Outfit theme day, where we dress up depending on the assigned theme for the day. You can suggest wacky themes like alien, army or pirates! It’s also great if there’s a prize for the best dressed worker or team of the day.

3. Play pranks on your coworkers - If you’re really bored at work and you want to do something radical, try playing an elaborate prank on your officemates, like what these guys did here:

Well, those are some tips to make your workplace more exciting and fun. Just make sure you won’t get in trouble for it!

As you might have noticed within the past few years, Hollywood has started to lose inspiration when it comes to coming up with new stories for it’s movies. They’ve turned into rehasing old movies, or turning comic books and video games into new movie franchises. And now, Hollywood has found a new source of inspiration for future blockbusters: Anime.

It started this year with the live-action adaptation of the well-loved classic anime, Speed Racer. The Wachowski Brothers of The Matrix fame worked their magic in turning the funky anime world of Speed Racer into reality, and from what I’ve seen it was a huge success, however the same can’t be said for ticket sales. They’ve proved though that it’s feasible to turn anime into enjoyable movies.

Over the past few months, a lot of producers and directors have announced that they’ve acquired rights into turning a lot of popular anime into movies. Here’s a list:

• Director Steven Spielberg will be working on a live-action adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell, one of the biggest anime titles ever. Ghost in the Shell’s numerous anime and manga adaptations have been highly successful, and has garnered a huge fanbase in the US and around the world.
• Spiderman 3 star Toby Maguire will the executive producer of the movie version of Robotech, the American adaptation of the Japanese anime classic Macross. It’s an epic space opera focusing on romance, transforming robots, and alien invaders and is also very popular around the world for it’s engaging storyline.
• Leonardo DiCaprio will serve as producer for the Hollywood adaptation of Akira, one of the first anime movies to gain worldwide acclaim. Akira introduced audiences worldwide to a new form of storytelling using animation, featuring a meticulously detailed futuristic post-apocalyptic setting, a mature storyline with themes such as youth culture, social unrest, psychic ablities and delinquency. Also of note was it’s highly advanced quality of its animation, which is why it’s highly regarded as the best anime movie of all time.

• Hit anime Dragonball will be getting a film adaptation directed by James Wong and produced by one of Hong Kong’s biggest producers and stars, Stephen Chow. The show experienced a following in the States because of it’s highly energetic fighting sequenes, as well as the characters including the hero Goku, and his various enemies and allies. Though the fan reaction to the movie has been quite negative, the director promises that they were able to incorporate the anime style fighting in the show, like chi blasts and dynamic action sequences. It’ll be shown on April 2009.

Although Hollywood is losing it’s creativity when it comes to making new stories, I’m pretty optimistic in their enthusiasm to adapt these anime titles to the big screen. I hope they’ll be successful enough to make the mainstream audience aware of the unique storytelling and themes explored in anime, and somehow make them want to watch the originals where these movies were adapted from.

Are you in or out? Most people are really excited on who is going to win in American Idol’s season finale. I’ve been watching it from time to time but for some weird reason, i’ve been hooked to it for some time now. If you’ve watched the audition screening prior to the contest, you will notice that, that part is the funniest of ‘em all!

But watch this, it might be the funniest video you’ve ever seen in Idol history. Of course, William Hung is now phased out and is considered ghetto if you know what I mean. I hope Mariah donesn’t get insulted.

I got my hands on Electronic Arts’ latest version of their Need for Speed blockbuster series, Prostreet yesterday and I spent all day playing it and felt the need to share my experience.

Here, you have to build the ultimate battle machine,take it to multidisciplinary showdowns and pit your skills and reputations against the world’s best street racers.  The Need for Speed Prostreet is a racing experience like no other. For the first time, you’re designing and building a car, compete in iconic locations from around the world and battling in four distinct racing styles, grip, drag, drift and the all-new speed challenge.

The atmosphere is electric, complete with energetic crowds, photo-realistic vehicles and billowing smoke - all designed to embody the pressure and intensity of the gladiatorial challenge known as Show Down.  Prostreet is the realization of the power,aggression and rivalry that embodies street racing culture.

Have you seen the news? There was this huge earthquake in China yesterday, and around 30000 people are dead. Along with the other catastrophes happening recently I can’t help but think that maybe the end days are approaching… I wonder if that December 2012 conspiracy is true after all?
