GeekTyrant : GeekTyrant - News - Burger King Enlists Horror Icons for Late Night Ads

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 00:15:09 +0000

Those 99 cent double cheeseburgers are a killer deal! But they don't compare to the melt-in-your-mouth McD's cheeseburgers, even if they aren't as big. But yeah, what happened to their fries??? They used to be like happiness in a box... (not to be confused with a Happy Leal)

GeekTyrant : GeekTyrant - News - IRON MAN 2 International Movie Poster

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 18:21:45 +0000

Venkman calling this poster "very movie posterish" is a nice way of saying this poster is terrible!!!! Doryen is totally right. There was more composition on the table I emptied my bag of Chinese take-out onto last night. And what is with that random stock explosion they use at the center of it??? What early 90's movie did they steal that from?!

GeekTyrant : GeekTyrant - News - Why Bryan Singer May Not Direct X-MEN: FIRST CLASS...

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:54:58 +0000

We are on this story because we have to play catch up after the weekends... we're an all volunteer staff, and we like the couple of days when we're not pulling double duty. But during the week we try to stay on the pulse of things.

GeekTyrant : GeekTyrant - News - Sacha Baron Cohen and Ben Stiller\'s Avatar Sketch Cut From Oscar Telecast

Thu, 4 Mar 2010 19:51:43 +0000

I think I'd first have to be considered a journalist (I'm a critic, for a site with the words Geek and Tyrant in the name), before I can be accused of irresponsible journalism. Do you harass high-school students for not nailing every three pointer during P.E??? Furthermore, Cameron is definitely A (as in one of) frontrunner. He's not THE (the one and only) frontrunner. I didn't say he's the odds on favorite. I didn't say, "this guy is gonna win, call your bookies." Bigelow and The Hurt Locker are definitely getting the recognition they deserve, and they could be CONSIDERED by MANY as A frontrunner in their categories. But what anyone says is a prediction at this point, an opinion based on facts, but an opinion nonetheless, however you cut.

GeekTyrant : GeekTyrant - News - Must Watch: Bad-Ass Minute Long Battle Between CG Samurai

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 07:06:04 +0000

Sorry, I should change the title of the post to this instead... Maybe Watch: One Minute of Artificially Created Japanese Guys Touching Swords in an Aggressive Manner How about Folgers Coffee change their tag line to... "Possibly an enjoyable part of waking up is Folgers in your cup." Better?

GeekTyrant : GeekTyrant - News - 30 Second Clip for IRON MAN 2 - Plus Behind The Scenes Featurette

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:27:33 +0000

You guys are probably right, I was looking for the scratch, I guess it's there??? The quality of the vid isn't great. But if you say it;s there, I trust you. I guess they'd let Whiplash wear a shirt if he had one, which we all see in the Monaco scene, he doesn't. There are other holding cells, and people everywhere are being questioned, and photographed. So there was definitely and incident. My thinking was that Whiplash gets caught on purpose before the race, knowing that Stark already knows him, and will want to see him when caught. Or Stark doesn't know who he is, and Whiplash knows Stark will want to confront whoever is after him. This will let the villain deliver his, "I'm gonna get you because..." speech. If S.H.I.E.L.D stops Whiplash at Monaco, (who else has the man power to stop him?) wouldn't they be holding him, not what looks to be Interpol? Those are just my thoughts and guesses, but likely, like you guys said, this takes place afterwards.

GeekTyrant : GeekTyrant - News - Buried screenwriter Chris Sparling cashes in at the ATM

Fri, 5 Feb 2010 22:05:07 +0000

Ok, sorry. Shoot, what was I thinking?! There's a quick fix for this: Replace the setting of an ATM with a Phonebooth. Replace Matthew Perry with Colin Ferrell. And replace the title of Friends... with Phonebooth. Masculinity restored... phew!

GeekTyrant : GeekTyrant - News - Confirmed: Sony Offers (500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb the Next Three

I said it right in the post! "Marc Webb's name alone seems to have already predestined him to take on the Spider-man franchise."

GeekTyrant : Best or Worst Dad Ever? Man taught his son Klingon before he taught him English

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:29:03 +0000

Dear Carol, I must start off by saying I really enjoyed you in "Where the Wild Things Are." Too bad your voice was replaced by James Gandolfini's. He did a great job though. When a post is tagged "humor," you should know and understand that it isn't an attack on anyone... It's a joke. If you've tuned into any late night night TV program, my rant is very kind compared to the ripping Speers is taking on those shows. But just to be clear, here's some clues that this is all in fun. - I don't actually own a phaser, and if I did get my hands on such technology... I wouldn't tell anyone(until I figure out how to cash in on it). - At the top of the post is a baby. Not some abused child. An adorable Trekkie baby in the comfort of a car seat... or as I call it, The Captain's Chair. - Below... ANOTHER cute baby! - I use the words doobies and Huggies in the same sentence. - When using the Humor tag, I've accused inanimate objects of being racist and of hating America. Don't believe me? http://geektyrant.com/2009/07/nintendo-wii-is-no-... http://geektyrant.com/2009/07/the-nintendo-wii-ha... Obviously they are smart and well educated people. But more importantly, just how attractive are we talking here? Like 8's or 10's? But I degrassi... excuse me, I mean digress. Also take into consideration that for many years of my childhood, whenever I picked up a bucket of Legos, the only things constructed were blocky multi colored versions of the Enterprise, and again... phasers. I know and accept that my geeky traits will undoubtedly rub off on my kids(when I have kids). But if people had to meet every single person, before being able to talk about them or make a joke about them... We'd live in a very unfunny world. And the last time I checked... this is America. USA! USA!

GeekTyrant : NEW MOON Dethrones HARRY POTTER and DARK KNIGHT for Midnight Box-Office Take

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:52:44 +0000

I heard theater employees are working around the clock to scrape off the estrogen left on the walls. But I also heard the problem is nothing compared to the traffic jam caused when the parents came to pick up all the guys at the "Star Trek" midnight showings. But apparently both of those pale in comparison to the children accidentally left behind at the midnight showings for "Step Up 2: The Streets."

GeekTyrant : EMH asks the question: Who would you kill from The Office, Dwight or Andy?

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:35:01 +0000

Andy is the sole survivor of the Stamford branch. That says a lot about the character, as well as Ed Helms -- who's done an amazing job walking the line of the over confident, one-upping dork. His character has evolved quite dramatically; first appearing as the conniving short tempered jerk, and now he's the kind hearted hopeless romantic(still a dork) that we all love. As much as I think Rainn Wilson is incredible, the Dwight character has long been the most over the top aspect of the show -- at times so cartoon-ish, that it completely takes you out of the world that the writing and the rest of the cast seem to be perfectly tuned in to. Dwight belongs on a classic sitcom more than he does in Scranton. Sorry Dwight, and more apologies to Rainn(cuz he is a FUNNY dude), but Dwight needs to be quietly buried in his beet farm.

GeekTyrant : Will Dumbledore's gay lover be in HARRY POTTER and the DEATHLY HALLOWS films?

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:23:43 +0000

Hey guys. Just a little info on why the word is censored. This is actually a very rare case in which it's actually being used correctly. Up to this point, the word has almost ALWAYS been used in an inappropriate and offensive manner, often as a way of attacking people. Those comments get flagged and reported by other commenters instantly. I agree that most of our readers our mature enough to handle it. We may have to go though and update, so you guys can better express your points on this subject. But I don't think this will be a reoccurring situation. Thanks!

GeekTyrant : What X-MEN 3 Could have Been according to X2 Writer Michael Dougherty

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:15:12 +0000

Doesn't the ship depicted in the AFTERMATH 2 art, look similar to the way Lex Luthor's ship was destroyed in Superman Returns(which Dougherty also co-wrote with Singer)??? Ideas die hard I guess.

GeekTyrant : SNL Digital Short: FIRELIGHT - Twilight parody with a Frankenstein Twist

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 23:26:52 +0000

That's pretty good! I like the concept better than the execution... But very cool either way. For me SNL's had more laughs.
