If there’s one movie that is not in need of a remake, it is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s magnum opus Commando. Unfortunately, that’s what Fox wants to do according to this post at JoBlo. Seriously, in what way can a remake improve what is already a flawless film? And who would play Bennett???

I was unaware of the existence of this comedy airing Fridays on Starz until I saw this thoughtful analysis from the Chicago Tribune’s TV critic Maureen Ryan. That was reason enough for me to check it out, but I was happy to see the cast littered with familiar faces from Judd Apatow productions like Adam Scott, Martin Starr and Jane Lynch, not to mention Ken Marino (MTV’s The State).
Party Down follows a bunch of struggling actors/writers working for a catering company in Hollywood while searching for their big break. Season 2 premieres April 23 and Starz was nice enough to stream four episodes on their web site. It didn’t take long for me to get through those episodes. I’m still feeling out the humor, but it has potential and will be interesting to see what great guest stars will show up next. Of the free episodes on the Starz site, the one with Steve Guttenberg (!) was the most fun.
After taking police work and beer drinking to new levels of ridiculous, Broken Lizard’s latest film parodies the restaurant industry in The Slammin’ Salmon. It hits DVD/Blu-Ray this week. Will it surpass Super Troopers or Beerfest? We’ll see. However, you can be guaranteed to be repeating lines from this for a long time.
If there’s one thing I gained from wasting many hours of my childhood playing Nintendo, it’s an appreciation for chiptunes. I find those blips and beeps that passed for music more charming than nostalgic, and they’re a big part of the reason why the theme songs for Super Mario Bros., the Legend of Zelda are iconic.
I don’t keep track of the chiptune scene, but I have enjoyed what few projects I’ve stumbled upon over the last couple of years, namely Beck’s dabbling in 2005 for his Hell Yes EP and the band Anamanaguchi. Now I’m adding video game programmer Brad Smith’s 8-bit cover of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon to that short list.
