Vikings lose Daunte, then lose 38-13.

Let me repeat (and repost) Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Tice's amazing quote from earlier this week:

"Sometimes, you wake up and you say, 'Man, I didn't have anything to drink last night. I didn't have anything fattening. So why do I want to puke?' Then you realize, 'Oh, that's right.' You start remembering what's going on in your life."

Tice better leave a trash can beside the bed tonight.

"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" *** (out of four): Writer Shane Black's return to the buddy-action-comedy genre is a bit too self-aware and cutesy, but it's also a darn good time.

In the annals of overpaid screenwriter burn-outs, the name Shane Black isn’t quite as infamous as Joe “Showgirls” Eszterhaus. After all but defining the action-buddy-comedy genre with “Lethal Weapon” and “The Last Boy Scout”, Mr. Black became Hollywood’s highest paid writer for the ill-fated “Last Action Hero” and “The Long Kiss Goodnight”. When those films bombed, Mr. Black (perhaps wisely) chose to disappear for almost a decade before returning with “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”, a winkingly funny neo-noir treat which he himself directs.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!...how 'bout some good old fashioned movie violence.

These days, certain video games are getting all the ink for being too violent, but we should remember Hollywood's been cranking out the blood and guts for decades, and alot of it's been ten times sicker than any playstation game out there. Honestly...a couple of the movies on this list...after I watched them I was like, why would anyone put that on film? SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK, SHALL WE?

A couple ground rules. I didn't include any pure slasher movies. So you won't find Kevin Bacon getting the arrow through the mattress from Friday The 13th, or that kid that got the shish kabob through the back of the throat from Happy Birthday to Me. (would've been too random) Also, not all death scenes on the list were actually "on-camera". After all, implied gore can be just as intense as in-your-face, you know? And finally, since there are probably about ten bazillion ways you could go with this, feel free to tell me which scenes you would've included. Let's make this death list a fun, group event...k?

So, as someone once said...Roll the ugliness.

Next week sees the official launch of Channel Fredorator. which is claiming to be the world's first Original Cartoon podcast, all in iPod format. Fredorator are the company responsible for Johnny Bravo, The Fairly Oddparents and Dexter's Laboratory. Expect to see this promoted heavily on the iTMS next week, but you can get ahead of the pack by subscribing here.

It's a mixed bag of animation from various contributors, but the standout is a stone age love story. I couple of YBNBY contributors are CGI animators, so maybe we'll see a contribution from them in the next few months.
