( the geek is elsewhere ) I Am Number Four
I got to watch a preview screening of I Am Number Four a few weeks ago (and interview Alex Pettyfer!). Therefore, my thoughts on the movie are posted on my newspaper’s website, so click away! (:

( ADtv ) reflections on Super Bowl XLV
Maybe it’s because this is the first time I specifically watched the Super Bowl for the ads, but this year was super disappointing.
I mean, besides the stupid car commercials and the stupid beer commercials and the obligatory lame GoDaddy commercial, there wasn’t much. Sure, the ones with Eminem weren’t bad, but for me, the only standouts were Volkswagen’s.
The Darth Vader one was really cute & the Beetle one seemed like it would be a stupid Coca Cola commercial (looking at you, waste of animation space Coke commercial), but it ended on a WTF note.
But nothing truly spectacular, although Dorito’s ads weren’t too bad except they were all at the beginning and therefore difficult to remember.
See all commercials on Youtube.
But yeah, what did you think about the ads? Which was your favorite?
