Here’s a great video from FIlmmakerIQ about the origins of Auteur Theory. Very intersting stuff and totally worth 18 of your minutes.
#BBCAN3 ep 14 – So Long Brutus, Don’t Let the Centurion Hit You On The Way Out
Come on, it’s not like Brutus was ever going to run things. He sold out Caesar for nothing. Silly, Brutus. Thought he had everything worked out, thought he was being so smart, but even his lover was working against him. All hail Caesar!

Remedy. It’s the Family You Choose That Matters Most.
I always knew I would watch Remedy. I didn’t know I would love it.
With the epidemic of hyperbole filling every last gap of the internet it would be easy to blow off that statement. Content is being created on so many platforms I feel like every other day someone is telling me about the “best show ever”. Binge-watching has become an accepted term and celebrated practice. Emotions and descriptors have gone off the rails.
This isn’t that. Continue reading “Remedy. It’s the Family You Choose That Matters Most.”
Watch This: Every Reference in ‘Cabin in the Woods’
_The Cabin in the Woods_ is a great movie which if you haven’t seen it you should definitely see. It manages to silmultaneously mock and pay homage to basically every horror movie trope there is. Here’s a video breaking down almost every reference in the the movie.
This gives away basically everything so you should definitely see the movie before you watch this.

#BBCAN3 ep 13 – “I Want Your Blood On My Hands.”
Julius Caesar was a military General, author, and politician. He was the first Roman to invade Britain. The founder of the Empire. A self-proclaimed King and ‘dictator in perpetuity’. A man who formed an alliance that ran things in Rome for years.
Caesar was stabbed 23 times by a group of 60 men and bled to death on the floor of the senate. A execution planned by his best friend Brutus.

Fly Through Every WipEout Track In Your Browser
The first WipEout was solely responsible for elevating Sony’s first PlayStation from potentially being just another kiddy toy to a genuinely cool piece of kit. The pulsing soundtrack and revolutionary 3D courses marked the start of many lifelong gaming obsessions, curves and accelerator twitches quickly etching into happy minds.
If any of this is giving you an excited glow, then Dominic Szablewski is your new best friend. Diving into the source files (which he’s documented [here](http://phoboslab.org/log/2015/04/reverse-engineering-wipeout-psx)), he’s put each of the original’s tracks into a format that allows you to experience them in your browser. To sweeten the deal, you can even view the ships and logos designed by The Designers Republic, *and* play the soundtrack underneath.
This might actually qualify as The Best Thing Ever. Relive those glory days [here](http://phoboslab.org/wipeout/).
#BBCAN3 ep 11 & 12: In and Out and Back In
The biggest mistake anyone can make in the Big Brother house is thinking they’re safe. It’s the equivalent of running upstairs or saying “What’s the worst that could happen?” in a movie. And as any film fan knows, just when you think the bad guy is gone for good, they’ll pop back up and make your life hell.
Which brings us to the “Thanks to KFC!” Twist that carried over two episodes… one of the people evicted so far is coming back. And they want blood. Continue reading “#BBCAN3 ep 11 & 12: In and Out and Back In”
#BBCAN3 ep 10 – No More “I Love You’s”: A Johnny Veto Mixtape.
We need to have a little talk about Love. Or rather “I Love You”. Those three little words that are supposed to carry some kind of meaning. Some long lasting deep connection. At least when one person is saying it to another person. Unless you’re in the Big Brother House. Then “love” is thrown around and misused the way “literally” has literally lost it’s meaning. (I see you Newsroom fans, and I understand your pain.) Continue reading “#BBCAN3 ep 10 – No More “I Love You’s”: A Johnny Veto Mixtape.”
#BBCAN3 ep 9 – The End of Foreplay.
I guess it was bound to happen at some point. The burnout. It’s all hot and heavy for the first three weeks and then… well… at some point you have to come up for air. And much like the current BB Showmances, the show took a breather tonight. Actually it sort of yawned. Continue reading “#BBCAN3 ep 9 – The End of Foreplay.”
#BBCAN3 ep 8 – Namaste, Bro.
There was a major record-scratch moment in tonight’s eviction show. Normally I tune out the last ditch pleas of the people on the block to stay in the house. They really don’t make any difference and have devolved into a series of obnoxious shout-outs to people back home. On some very rare occasions you’ll get someone making a last-stand “screw you” speech. Something memorable.
Tonight was memorable. In it’s idiocy and lack of self-awareness. Graig’s final speech targeted Johnny Veto accusing him of being a bully and saying “I hope going forward you can come to grips with your own insecurities. Namaste.”
#BBCAN3 ep 7 – Big Egos, Bullies, and Boss Bitches
No less a person that Sigmund Freud said “The ego is not master in its own house.”
And as tonight’s episode proved neither is it a master of the Big Brother Canada one. Perhaps someone who studies psychology or philosophy for years would be able to write a much deeper thesis on the events that befell Graig this evening. Alas, I am of the Good Will Hunting “library card” school of knowledge so instead I say, “How do you like them apples?” Continue reading “#BBCAN3 ep 7 – Big Egos, Bullies, and Boss Bitches”
#BBCAN3 ep. 6 – Ladies Night (Oh What A Night)
There’s a feminist revolution taking place in the Big Brother Canada house… sort of. At the moment it’s more of a female awakening. Which is nowhere as sexual as it sounds. It only took them three evictions to wake up their inner Spice Girls and it’s about damn time. But I’m getting ahead of myself… Continue reading “#BBCAN3 ep. 6 – Ladies Night (Oh What A Night)”

#BBCAN3 ep.5 – Don’t Hate The Game, Hate The Players
If you had told me ten days ago when I gave him the sarcastic nickname “Classy Kevin” that he would become one of my favourite males in the house I wouldn’t have believed you. Or me. Because his first impression was not that great. But tonight? What are the kids saying these days, “I can’t even.” I. CAN’T. EVEN. with the dudes in the house. Where is our Emmett & Jon? Ugh! Continue reading “#BBCAN3 ep.5 – Don’t Hate The Game, Hate The Players”
#BBCAN 3.04 – Blabbermouths, Beavers & Spin the Bottle
It’s week 2 of Big Brother and that can only mean one thing… the gender lines have been drawn in the astroturf and a battle of the sexes is about to begin. For as long as I can remember watching versions of this show the same thing happens, BBCAN Season 3 doesn’t look like it’s going to buck the trend. But this time the “girl alliance” seems about to fail and it’s all because they forgot the first rule of girl gossip… always check to make sure the bathroom stalls are empty. Rookie move, ladies. Continue reading “#BBCAN 3.04 – Blabbermouths, Beavers & Spin the Bottle”
