Interests and thoughts from three brothers
Thanks yet again to Comingsoon.net for sharing the trailer with us. It’s beyond amazing and I can’t wait to see this film in theaters. I’ve also posted up the new movie poster which is equally snazzy.
According to the Muppets’ Facebook page (yes I “liked” it), this is the Official trailer for the new Muppet movie. Enjoy.
And Disney….how about some collector’s glasses? Just sayin’
Here’s the other video I’d read about. Seems that you’re dropped into the middle of a war zone in this game. There are two factions fighting over Columbia, and neither of them are particularly fond of you.
Here’s the new Bioshock Infinite gameplay sampler platter courtesy of E3 2011. It’s not nearly long enough, though, I’ll warn you. I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to this game.
oh Keith......we want you, we want you
This one’s for Alan and Keith. We loved it as kids (well, not Keith) and I’m thinking this one’s worth a Derosby family field trip to the theater. Two of my kids have been “initiated”. I think it’s time for Izzy, Sofie, and Keene to become honorary f-ed up Derosby kids like their dads were….still are.
Guillermo Del Toro writing the screenplay and producing, how can we go wrong? Enjoy.
Follow the link to read Michael Bay’s take on this third film in the Transformers series. I’m feeling better about this movie than I did. Telling us about the obnoxious, foul-mouthed twins from ROTF “They’re not even in it. Not. Even. In. It,” only lent to the positive vibes. Bay isn’t out of the woods yet, but he’s following the right trail of bread crumbs now.
I don’t want to get sucked into this one like I did Revenge of the Fallen, but it sounds like Michael Bay DID listen to us, and may have learned from his mistakes (although he does make a few excuses during the interview).

Catwoman is playable now? Looks like she’s as fun to use as Batman. The first game, Batman: Arkham Asylum was amazing and it looks like Rocksteady Games is on track to outdo itself with the sequel, Batman: Arkham City. I’m looking forward to villains like Two-Face, Black Mask, the Riddler, and Penguin slated to make appearances and join Mr. J and Harley in their fight against the Dark Knight and Catwoman. Click on the image below to check out the trailer.
I’d like to thank Dan from It’s a Dan’s World for acting as guinea pig and seeing this movie in the theater, because I certainly wasn’t going to after the last X-fiasco. You can follow the link or click on the image below to see his review. I’m strongly considering taking a trip to the theater this weekend after reading his opinions on the film.

A few of my friends have blogs (actually became friends because of the blogs). This week I visited a few of them and tried to leave my usual smartass comments in response to posts but found I couldn’t. I’d write up a post, but when I tried to log in to my Google account to leave the message, my post would show up as Anonymous and I’d get stuck in an endless loop going back to the login screen over and over. I found that other people were having the same problem.
So I did some detective work and found the problem. Blogger said that it was a corrput cookie problem (personally I never met a bad cookie…may be why I look like I do but whatever). The site suggested that if you’re having the problem, clear all cookies and your cache, then close out your Explorer window. That should take care of the problem.
Here’s the link to the website I found. Good luck and happy blogging.

When the hell did I turn into Uncle Buck? Despite the fact that it’s a John Hughes film (it’s the only film from his pantheon of cinematic crap I can stand to watch) it’s one of my favorite non sci-fi or horror movies from the 80′s. Nonetheless, I had no intention of ending up like him. I certainly didn’t intend to look like a short, Lebanese John Candy, but 22 years and 3 kids later, here I am. I guess it could have been worse, I could look like Anne Ramsey (you know, Throw Mama, or Sloth’s Mom for those of you as old as us).
In this movie, the exasperated, long suffering girlfriend is an exasperated, long suffering wife. Like John Candy, I’m playing out of my league here. Like John Candy I’m not complaining. On TV the guy who looks like his career choices are limited to ringing bells and hiding in windmills always has a good looking girlfriend/wife. I was never sure how that worked out, but I can tell you it does. The three of us are living proof. I don’t argue with it anymore.
My kids have played along with this theme, despite the fact that none of the three of them have seen the movie. That needs to change.
The youngest one loves trading smartass quips with me and more than holds her own. She actually sometimes thinks Dad is pretty cool. That honor is reserved for anyone under 6. Anyone older than that realizes that I’m not cool, just a weird, sad little man.
The boy is fine with me most of the time but hates it when I get all “old people” on him or make fun of him glued to his cell phone or Ipod touch. I don’t think twice about asking “hey, can I see that?” when he’s right in the throws of a text, thumbs ablazin’. He cautiosly hands the phone to me and I quickly turn it off and hand it back to him with a “finish your homework”. Sometimes he loves the insult-fests. His friends try to join in too, only to find they’re no match. It’s best they learn these things now before they set out into the cold, hard world. I’m happy to help.
The oldest daughter is always late, stalling at karate class or dance class. She’s the first one in the locker room and the last one out. It drives me nuts and it’s caused more than one knock-down drag-out between the two of us. Then a few days ago I figured it out. The older daughter is embarrassed to be seen with me. This doesn’t help as I’m usaully transporting her to and from said classes in my rusting, filthy, dented, disintegrating POS car. The steam rolling out of the tailpipe and the assortment of ambient noises emanating from under the hood just add to the picture. She’s also the drama queen of the house, and it’s getting worse as we approach the teen zone.
There is an upside to this movie epiphany though. I’m really looking forward to the parts of the movie where I get to torture the guys that try to hit on my daughters. That’s proving to be pretty fun so far as it’s started already. Maybe living the John Hughes dream isn’t so bad after all. It beats hanging out in a library with a bunch of cookie-cutter High School social stereotypes. And Charlie Sheen.
