Blog of Thrones

Turner — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:19:00 GMT

Hey, gang! Game of Thrones fans are STILL reeling from last Sunday's episode. I put some of that into persective (and share some funny videos) in my latest blog. There are spoilers...but nothing beyond what has already aired on the HBO show. Fair enough? Good.

Insane Tornado Footage From Oklahoma

Turner — Tue, 21 May 2013 10:07:00 GMT

Here's a couple of things you might not know about me. I grew up in Mt. Vernon, Indiana. We had tornados in the Southern part of the state all the tiime. Hell, I played roller hockey for the Griffin Tornados. That name was used by the Griffin High School years ago, after the first high school in Griffin, IN was destroyed by...you guessed it...a Tornado. Once, while working at Hartke Pool in Evansville, I got to watch a funnel cloud form literally a quarter mile from our location. It was awesome and terrifying. When I worked at a radio station in North Carolina, I volunteered to go out in the middle of a hurricane to start our diesel-powered generator. The point is, I love bad weather. It's exciting. However...

That being said, I watched this footage from this week's terribly damaging tornado in Oklahoma, and felt my heart race. My hands got clammy. The eerie "Silent Hill" sirens in the background made my skin crawl. I kept telling the guy who shot the video "GET OUT OF THERE!! GO!! ARE YOU NUTS?" The answer is, yes. Yes, he is. But he also has huge balls of solid rock.

So watch this video. Watch it and think of the people in Oklahoma, people who see this kind of thing way too often.

The New/Official Pacific Rim Trailer Has More Punching

Turner — Fri, 17 May 2013 09:50:00 GMT

This one has a lot of stuff you've seen in previous teasers, but with MOAR ROBOT PUNCHES AND SUCH!! Plus, the movie hits theaters on my birthday. Hint, hint...

The extended Agents of SHIELD trailer is here!

Turner — Wed, 15 May 2013 10:51:00 GMT

The teaser was nice, but this one has MOAR AGENT COULSON!!! HE LIVES!!

Conan's Worst Kentucky Derby Horse Names

Turner — Tue, 07 May 2013 13:09:00 GMT

Yeah, I didn't watch the Kentucky Derby. But some of you did. Good for you! Here's Conan's masterful take on some horse names that are NOT as cool as "Orb."

Texas Explosion Caught on Video. Dayum.

Turner — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:50:00 GMT

Dude...almost too close for comfort. Wait for it...wait for it...

The New Digs!!

Turner — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 17:46:00 GMT

Yeah, so...here's a peek at life in the New Building (which is actually an old building.) But, hey...new studio!

Wait...the raptors weren't CG?!?

Turner — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 11:16:00 GMT

I don't know whether to be totally saddened or totally amazed. remember when Jurassic Park came out and everyone was all like "OOoooO!! They made those dinosaurs with COMPUTERS!!!" Well, yes. Some of the SFX in that movie were totally CGI. But then, there's that great scene in the kitchen (In the G*D DAMNED KITCHEN, PHIL!) and it turns out that, well...they were just guys in suits. Completely bad-ass suits, mind you...but, still.

Bad Lip-Reading: The Amazing Spider-Man

Turner — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 10:16:00 GMT

I wasn't blown away by the unnecessary Spider-Man reboot, but it wasn't terrible, either. Paul Giamatti appears in the next one, so, yeah...they'll get my money again. Bastards.

But no matter what your take on the Amazing Spider-Man, this edition of Bad Lip-Reading is full of chuckles...

The Week in Unnecessary Censorship

Turner — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 11:47:00 GMT

Dave is still the King in my book, but with Jimmy moving to his earlier time slot, he might just be the heir apparent. Here's the latest in his long-running "Unnecessary Censorship" series...

Jimmie Johnson Wins Daytona...Does the Harlem Shake

Turner — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:52:00 GMT

Not a huge JJ fan...or NASCAR, really, although I do like ol' Smoke. I might have to re-think that stance after this...

Wow...the Iron Man 3 trailer is, um...dark!

Turner — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 10:49:00 GMT

Seriously, things are looking pretty grim for ol' Tony. It says "April 2013" at the end, but the internets are saying May 3rd. Whatever. Can't get here soon enough.

Tower Destruction Fail

Turner — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 10:18:00 GMT

Apparently, Ohio Edison was destroying their old Mad River power plant. To destroy one of their towers/stacks they invited a bunch of people to watch the "controlled" demolition. Oooh! Ahhh! That's how it starts. Then there's running...and screaming...

Honest Trailer for the Avengers.

Turner — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:04:00 GMT

It's funny, because it's true. Sadly. Enjoy...

The NEW Hobbit trailer

Turner — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:30:00 GMT

I wasn't too happy to hear they were splitting this book into a two-parter, then evern less thrilled when I learend it was actually going to be a TRILOGY. Come on, there were three friggin' books in the "Lord of the Rings" and three decent movies as a result. THis whole thing smacks of a big ol' cash-grab. That being said...the first film looks AMAZING. Enjoy the latest preview...

Walking Dead Season Three Extended Trailer

Turner — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:02:00 GMT

Spolier alert: Merle!!

A Fifth of Gin...GONE. In Ten Seconds.

Turner — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 10:15:00 GMT

So, there's this internet guy named Shoenice (technically, Shoenice22) and his schtick is that he eats/drinks things that shouldn't be eaten/drunk. Okay, got the picture? Good. Here we see ol' Shoenice (who is either metnally handicapped or does a great job of pretending) guzzle an entire fifth of Bombay Gin (at least it's the good stuff, eh?) in about ten seconds. Mother of God...

Bad Lip Reading: TWILIGHT

Turner — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 09:29:00 GMT

I am NOT a fan of Twilight, although to be completely fair, I haven't seen a minute of this crap, so maybe it's really, really awesome. (It can't be. Sorry.) But I DID completely enjoy this Bad Lip Reading version. Damn right I did!

Better Names For Things

Turner — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:27:00 GMT

Pretty clever. See, kids, this is contructive (i.e., entertaining) use of your destructive impulses. Dude goes around Target re-naming their products.

Happy Birthday, Hayden Panetierre!

Turner — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 11:04:00 GMT

Yep. From Conan's new XXX website. Seriously.

Hot (possibly jailbait) Chicks Nail the Violin Version of "Toxicity."

Turner — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 10:30:00 GMT

Yeah, they kinda look a little too young. But, hey...they totally rock this version of SOAD's "Toxicity" so, who cares, right? Enjoy!

The Lion King Rises

Turner — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 13:18:00 GMT

Yeah, it's kind of old, but I just watched it again and was blwn away at the editing. Great work.

Awesome Matrix-Office Space mashup!

Turner — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 10:04:00 GMT

Kinda weird how WELL these two blend seamlessly!

Firefly Reunion Panel From SDCC. Shiny.

Turner — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 13:00:00 GMT

Sure, we were missing two of my faves, Zoe and Kaylee...but man, here you go. Almost an hour of goodness celebrating the ten-year anniversary of one of the greatest (and shortest-lived) sci-fi series EVAH.

New RoboCop teaser...

Turner — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 12:10:00 GMT

I know, I know...why the hell would they want to remake a classic like RoboCop? (SEE ALSO: TOTAL RECALL) I don't know. but at least it looks like they're keeping a lot fo the original elements, including the COP logo. You down with OCP? Yeah, you know me! Bonus: Peep the new ED-209. Looks pretty bad-ass, actually.

FWML Backyard Hijinx!

Turner — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 13:40:00 GMT

Recently Fat Wal Mart Lady had some friends and family over for a little bounce on the trampoline. You can guess what happens next.

The 10 Nerdiest Myths Busted on "MYTHBUSTERS!"

Turner — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 13:18:00 GMT

I love me some Mythbusters, and not JUST because of Kari Byron. Check out some geek porn here...

Total Ripoff...er, I mean TOTAL RECALL!!

Turner — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 14:14:00 GMT

Okay, so...why are you remaking this movie if every scene is EXACTLY THE SAME?!? Check out the side-by-side comparison of the trailers for the original Ahnuld version and the new 2012 hotness...

Jack McBrayer from 30Rock and Triumph go to Weiner's Circle in Chicago.

Turner — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 14:15:00 GMT

Conan has been doing his show from Chitown, and one of the Windy City's famous ladnmarks, Weiner's Circle, gets the once-over. Absoultely hilarious.

Django Unchained teaser trailer...

Turner — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 14:34:00 GMT

Tarantino has had some low points, sure...but his take on WWII (Inglorious Basterds) was phenominal. Let's see what he does with a western...

The MTV Movie Awards Dark Knight trailer...

Turner — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:35:00 GMT

Hulk v. Loki: Silent Film Style

Turner — Tue, 29 May 2012 13:45:00 GMT

SPOILER ALERT!! If you haven't seen "Avengers" yet (and why the hell haven't you?!?) then you might want to skip this, as it's basically the best scene in the movie. Just sayin'. However, if you know what this is all again, it's fun to re-live it, even in B&W!

A Portal-style game using time instead of wormholes? Yes, please!

Turner — Thu, 24 May 2012 14:05:00 GMT

Sure, it's only a teaser with very little gameplay...but this looks fun as hell. Also, it's designed by one of the Portal game designers, so it should be wicked clever.

Check out the CW's upcoming Green Arrow series...

Turner — Fri, 18 May 2012 12:19:00 GMT

Been a good year for archery...Hunger Games, Hawkeye in the Avengers...now the CW is gearing up for their adaptation of the DC "Green Arrow" character, simply called "Arrow." Looks promising.

New gameplay for Assassin's Creed III

Turner — Fri, 11 May 2012 13:11:00 GMT

Yeah, there are a few obvious cutscenes, but also some real-time gameplay. Looks pretty rad!

Thank God we have The Avengers to tide us over, because July 20th seems like forever away...

This is the Batman I want for my kid's birthday.

Kids LOOOOVE the Christopher Nolan Batman!

The Avengers...1978 style

Turner — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:21:00 GMT

As long as we've had to wait for this movie, it's probably for the best. because it could have looked like THIS.

Gandalf on a longboard? Gandalf on a longboard.

Bad Lip Reading: Joe Biden

Turner — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:33:00 GMT

Oh. My. GOD. Maybe the best of the lot. "My cat got whammmiiiieeed!" Seriously, I think he may have actually said some of this. Enjoy.

George R.R. Martin and company on 'Thrones nudity.

Turner — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:36:00 GMT

Of course it's not REALLY GRRM. But it's pretty awesome.

A preview of the TRON animated series. Yes or no?

Turner — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:43:00 GMT

I actually enjoyed "TRON: Legacy." So I'm sort of curious how this new Disney series continues that story or fills in the background. Starts in June on Disney XD...

NEW! Tony Stark banters with Loki

Turner — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:32:00 GMT

You've seen some of this scene in the trailers...but here's the extended discussion between Tony Stark and Loki. Bad. ASS. Plus, Tony is a Black Sabbath fan.

"Don't Stop Believing" sung by the movies.

Turner — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:22:00 GMT

Exactly what you think it is. keep your eyes peeled, because it features everyone from Dr. Horrible to David Lo Pan. Someone spent a sh*tload of time putting this together!

The Return of Hula-Hoop Girl!

Turner — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:46:00 GMT

We posted her on the old, um...morning show page. And now she's back! The music kinda sucks, but c'mon...it's a hot chick hula-hooping. Mesmerizing, is what it is.

Watch this before your girl drags you to Titanic 3-D

So, yeah...Titanic is out again, only this time it's in breaktaking THREEEEEE-DEEEEEE!!! But check this Honest Trailer before you commit to throwing more money James Cameron's way...

Portal 2 Pole Dance? Why not?

Turner — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:22:00 GMT

Hey, it's my first post on my very own page! People that know me know that I dig me some vidja games. Portal and Portal 2 were two of my faves. So, when I found this cute chick doing a pole routine (she has a pole in her ROOM!! And I'll give 'er ANOTHER one, if you know what I'm sayin') to the song "Want You Gone" from the Portal 2 closing credits, well...I just had to share. You and me, we're going to be great friends.
