Phillyist Playlist: 311 at the Borgata Event Center
A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.
- Philly is world famous... for being the home of that one guy who wants you to order your cheesesteak in ENGLISH ONLY PLEASE. Sigh. (Via Jason)
- Cracked provides us with an amusing list: 9 Superhero Powers That Would Be More Trouble Than They're Worth. (Via)
- Wired asked Transformers fans to send in cool photos of their beloved toys, and the result is this super fun picture gallery. For more Transformers-related fun from Wired, check out their guesses as to which '80s toy franchise/fad will be turned into a movie next.
- This web app l8r is a pretty clever idea; it lets you write up an email and schedule it to be sent at some point in the future. Download Squad has a couple of great ideas for how to use this (trick your boss into thinking you're working; set up a happy birthday email a year in advance so you don't forget), but we're sure there are plenty more.
- Jack Thompson is claiming that the Florida Bar wants to suspend his law license for 91 days, and they want him to submit to psychological testing. We hope this is true, because it sounds like a great idea!
- It's the Top Ten Must Haves of the Past! The gadgets everybody had to have, before the iPhone came along. (Via)
- Actual game-play footage for Rock Band is now viewable on the internet. As Game|Life points out, it looks pretty much like you might expect: "like Karaoke Revolution laid on top of three Guitar Heroes." In fact, the screen seems almost too busy. Plus, won't scheduling playing this game be just as complicated as trying to schedule band practice?
- Having recently become addicted to the DS version of Puzzle Quest, we're rather excited to learn that a Wii version will supposedly be out on September 25th, just days after this Phillyist's birthday (hint, hint).
- Here's the trailer for the film Lions for Lambs, which looks like it's going to be a pretty intense political thriller, in which Robert Redford directs himself, Meryl Streep, and Tom Cruise.
- David Cronenberg's making another movie with Viggo Mortensen about violent mob types - except this time, it's the Russian mafia, instead of the Philly mafia (A History of Violence). It also stars Naomi Watts, along with a handful of character actors your bound to recognize, and it looks pretty awesome. It's called Eastern Promises, and the trailer is right over here.
- In superhero movie news, it looks like we won't be seeing another solo Superman movie until around 2010 (apparently the title will be Superman: Man of Steel). But Brandon Routh seems ready to play Superman in a Justice League movie, and Christian Bale seems open to the idea of playing Batman in the same movie, although he's being more vague.
- Is there trouble in Halloween-land? Apparently Rob Zombie just wrapped a bunch of huge reshoots for his remake of the horror classic. Supposedly the reshoots added six new death scenes and lots more blood and gore. Lovely.
- Daniel Radcliffe's hoping Harry Potter will die in the last book, and that he'll get to really milk the death scene for the inevitable movie adaptation. Although, he's also claiming that he hasn't signed on for that seventh movie yet, and will only do it if the script and director are right. Cinematical is - perhaps rightly - skeptical about his seeming reluctance.
- Here's a weird story: apparently the chimpanzee playing Chim-Chim for the Speed Racer live-action film bit a young actor. PETA claims it was then beaten, and that it needs to be replaced with an animatronic chimp.
- Minnie Driver will be voicing Lara Croft for an upcoming animated series starring the famous video game character.
- Cool - you can download an interview with fantasy/sci-fi author George R. R. Martin for free off of iTunes. (Via)
- In case you thought that movie Anchorman was pure fiction, we invite you to check out the Flickr photo set "stay classy philadelphia." We're particularly amused by the Evening Magazine Dancers. (Via Jason)
