Saw them live last night. Such a great show, so funny… My face hurt from laughing.

Coldblooded
Did you ever see Coldblooded? You know, Wallace Wolodarsky’s genius dark indie comedy starring Jason Priestley? No? You need to.
In Coldblooded, Priestley plays Cosmo, a sullen young man who lives in the basement of a retirement home taking numbers for the mob. One day he is informed that he is going to be made a hit man, and he soon discovers that he has a natural talent for offing people. A deft script meets subtle performances, a low-key score and a minimalist visual style to create a film that couldn’t be dryer and more pitch-perfect. Fine supporting work from Kimberly Williams, Peter Riegert, Robert Loggia, Janeane Garofalo, Josh Charles and Michael J. Fox make it all the better.
It’s not available on DVD or Blu-Ray (hopefully someday), but I’d be happy to loan you my VHS copy. Of course, then you would need a VCR. What’s a VCR? Exactly. Fortunately, someone with no appreciation for copyright law has posted Coldblooded to YouTube in nine parts. Watch it here. Seriously, take the time. It’s great.
MEGA PIRANHA!
SyFy pulled down the original clip I had posted, so here’s this instead:
Did anyone watch? Wow. Gotta say, it might be my favorite of all the SyFy original movies. They really went for it, and the result is something pretty enjoyable. In case you missed it, the DVD releases April 27th.
Excited for 2010
IGN has a cool article up about the upcoming nerdtastic movies releases of 2010. With Iron Man 2, Clash of the Titans, Kick-Ass, Machete and more, there’s a whole lot to look for forward to. 2009 will be tough to follow, but 2010 looks like it might be up to the task.
Supernanny: Hallenbeck
Tonight:
“A mother of two who spends her time surfing the Web, watching TV and texting friends expects her mother to raise her children.”
It’s another episode I worked on, and it’s pretty interesting — definitely a different show from the usual.
Hope you enjoy it!
ABC 8/7c
Supernanny: Benton
Be sure to check out Supernanny this Friday, January 8th, on ABC at 8/7c. It’s the first episode I worked on to air. It focuses on the Benton family of South Carolina, and I think it turned out pretty well. ABC describes it as:
“A father preaches physical strength and overall fitness for his sons, aged 10 and 8, who fight daily; the house is filled with yelling and empty threats, allowing the boys to continue their bad behavior.”
Can Supernanny save the day?
If you miss it, you can always catch it on Hulu (for a few weeks, anyway). Hope you like it…
Iron Man 2 Trailer
So, yeah… I’m more than a little excited.
Big Week for Patton
Comedy fans probably already know that the legendary Patton Oswalt has a new CD out this week, “My Weakenss is Strong.” I plan to pick it up tomorrow and cannot wait to listen to it. (There’s also a DVD.) Patton’s angry nerd rants absolutely kill me, and “Feelin’ Kinda Patton” might be my favorite stand-up album of all time. Those that know Patton only for his time on “King of Queens” are missing something special.
And then there’s Big Fan… Wow. Check out the trailer here. It’s from the dude that wrote The Wrestler, and it looks great.
Go, Patton!
