Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Going Gangnam Style--and Coming Out With a New Movie

This entertainment page is going to be a lot of fun to do. When I was looking for a clip of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation preview I came across a ton of other clips for new and soon to be released movies. So folks rest assured that I will be doing my best to bring them to you in the days and weeks to come!

Anyway...remakes and superheroes seem to be what is in store for us at the theaters in the months to come. One of the many that fans will be looking forward to is the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles flick:

It doesn't look like they are going to be trying to appeal to kids like the original movies did. More like they trying to do serious, action-packed reboots for the same fans that loved the first ones, but are now adults.

And I'm okay with that. Now if someone tries to take the Care Bears and make that into a serious thriller or something...that I'll have a problem with (not that I was into Care Bears as a kid or nothing...)

These guys (whoever it is that is in charge) are pretty smart about their publicity, and recently latched onto the latest parody craze to create a video they hoped would go viral--and it should. This is easily my favorite of the many Gangnam Style videos that I've seen.

Could you imagine these guys trying to do "Call Me Maybe?"

Anyway...here's the clip:

I Can't Wait for G.I. Joe Retaliation!

Got to go see a movie this past weekend, and since we hardly go anymore (thanks kids) it was tough choosing what to see (it was my Birthday so I got to pick). Had my birthday fallen a few months later--say after or on March 29--the choice would have been a no-brainer. It would have been G.I. Joe Retaliation all the way!

I don't even need to see the preview to say that. Back in the day I was a huge G.I. Joe fan. I collected the comics from issue #1 up until they started to get too much like the X-Men with all the sci-fi crap (if I wanted X-Men I would have read X-Men).

As a kid I can remember when the cartoon was bumped up a half hour. That meant that right when we got off the bus we could make it inside in time to see the "knowing is half the battle" part. I was very upset.

Anyway...the first one rocked so I am sure this one will as well. The only thing I hope this one does not do that the other did is all the flashbacks; kinda took away from the story for me (they were too long; shorter would have been okay).

Maybe I can talk my wife into this one for Easter or an early Father's Day present...

Will the Great Gatsby be--Great?

I had a hard time trying to figure out what my first post on the entertainment section was going to be. There is just too much to talk about in the world of entertainment--all the new shows starting up, last night's Biggest Loser with Jillian back, I actually saw a movie in a theater (that's big news for us; those of you with kids will get it), and so much more.

In the midst of my puzzling I stumbled across this clip for a movie set to come out in May. Part of me is excited at the prospect of seeing it, but another part will not mind if I have to wait till it comes on TBS.

The Great Gatsby was the only book in high school English that I read from cover to cover while actually keeping up with the assignments (I was still an excellent student). The book was great! Here you had this man of the world that was charming as hell, all the ladies loved him, all the guys wanted to be him (or hurt him--the world was his yet he was still tragically in love with a girl he couldn't have.

Awesome book! In class we got to watch the Robert Redford version of the movie; again--awesome!

So while the story is one that I remember fondly (so in that respect I can't wait to see the movie) I am not sure that Leo was the right man for the part. Leo is a great actor and from what I hear the chicks dig him so he has some of the qualities that Gatsby possessed, but I just don't buy him in the role.

He is great at delving into roles and becoming the person that his character is, so the movie will probably still be great, but they could have done better. In all honesty I think Matt Bomer would have been better for the role. Maybe its just the character that he plays in the USA Network series White Collar, but I see him bringing a similar persona to the role as Redford did back in the day.

FatManWriting is Expanding!!!

Yes, folks, that is right. FatManWriting is expanding (a FatMan expanding; novel concept...)!

There have been many times that I have been tempted to add in posts on some of the latest movies (on the rare occasion I see one), movie trailers, and television shows--especially reality television and new shows. 

My purpose here at FatManWriting is to make money. I've never been one to do something I hate or can't stand so I figured it was time to expand my writing into something else I dig and that guys and gals everywhere also dig--entertainment.

Here I'll be talking about reality shows, new shows that I watch, and movies that I happen to see and trailers. For the most part it will be my thoughts on something, biased and non-biased, as well as clips of upcoming shows and movies that look cool.

To get started I will need some help. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what to call this section. For now I've labelled it 'ENTERTAINMENT' in order to make sure y'all know what kind of material will be posted here. 

I need a name; something catchy; hopefully a little witty, funny of course, but also gives folks an idea what the page is about.

So please, please, please throw out any and all suggestions in the comment section. When I see one I dig or that a lot of other people seem to dig then I'll rename the page.
