Review – Zodiac (2007)
Monday, May 21st, 2007
Dave Corkery
Here’s a brief re-enactment of the conventional serial-killer-thriller that we, the audience have become accustomed to:
Act 1: Tough as nails, world-weary cop Sam ‘QuickFire’ McHardBalls is teamed up with a no-good-rookie sidekick, Johnny ‘Cannon Fodder’ McOptimist. When a series of grisly murders turn up on their desk, they realise that there’s some sick mutha out there with a taste for people-blood. McHardBalls at this point may utter; ‘I’m getting too old for this shit.’
We Feel Sorry For His Kids!
Monday, May 21st, 2007
David Hasselhoff‘s children have not one but two crazy parents.
Despite this widely seen video of an obbliterated drunk Hoff eating a burger, a judge on Tuesday granted custody to him of his two kids.
Apparently, the mother is CRAZY and the court thinks its in the best interest of the children if they stay with their father for the next two weeks, when the next hearing is scheduled.
Hasselhoff went into court the underdog, stripped of any visitation with his kids – in the wake of the drunk video.
But TMZ is reporting that the judge was stunned by the evidence presented by the court appointed expert who performed psychological evaluations on the family.
The expert apparently said that Pamela Bach, Hasselhoff’s ex, was abusive to her kids – especially Hayley, the younger of the two. The expert also noted that Bach refused drug testing, among many other things.
We hope those two kids are getting lots of counseling!
She Couldn’t Come Up With A Better Excuse?

Paula Abdul broke her nose this past weekend.
Why?
A spokesperson for the American Idol judge tells TV’s Extra that over the weekend, Abdul tripped trying to avoid her chihuahua, Tulip. As a result of the fall, she broke her nose.
Abdul was not hospitalized, but we really hope she wears something on her nose on the A.I. finales this week.
Did she trip over the wagon to avoid her dog???

Britney Back To Boozing!!!
Monday, May 21st, 2007
She’s off the wagon!
Just when we thought she was getting better, Britney fucks it all up with one really wild night of partying in Miami.
Statistically speaking most people don’t stay sober after their first stint in rehab. Almost everyone relapses, and Spears seems to be no exception.
After her concert at Mansion in South Beach on Sunday, Britney went for a dip in the pool at the Raleigh Hotel.
Around 2:15 A.M. she went clubbing back to Mansion. And then later than night she kept the party going at SET, where The Miami Herald is reporting that she stayed – getting all wild in the V.I.P room of the club until 5:00 A.M..
Then, this is the part that is truly disturbing and saddens us….
The Herald is also reporting that Spears was seen drinking alcohol at club SET.
Says the paper, “Spears was doing shots. ‘Lots of them,’ says our source. Purple Hooter Shots, in fact—part vodka, Chambord and 7-Up.”
Tragic.
There’s nothing that can stop Britney from being a trainwreck.
We sure hope KFed‘s been taking good care of their two boys. We wouldn’t want them around a crazy drunk!
The Old Man and the City
Monday, May 21st, 2007
Psyop’s sister company, Mass Market just finished a very polished and imaginative spot for the French manufactured car, Renault. The spot, entitled Fisherman, is about giant that goes fishing in a nearby city for people using the Renault as his lure. A very simple idea, yet the intricate details and care that was taken in creating this world make the spot refreshingly fun and worth watching again.
As always the spot is extremely well made, and Psyop/Mass Market make it look effortless. Large vfx spots sometimes have an attitude where they know that they are high end graphics and sometimes they come off feeling too upper class for the common viewer. Mass Market spots have the ability to deliver the highest quality spots, but keep it at a fun level. This is another example that shows that even though Psyop/Mass Market are at the top of our game, they still never take themselves too seriously.
It is also very much worth your time to check out Mass Market’s other spots and begin to realize the far reaching grasp that Psyop has over advertising.
Who Wants To See John Mayer Do Stand-Up?
Monday, May 21st, 2007As PerezHilton.com was the first to report, the day that news broke of John Mayer dumping Jessica Simpson the rocker was at the Comedy Cellar in New York City doing a shiteous routine.
We’d always wondered what it’d be like to see Mayer do his shtick. Pretty uneventful!
PerezHilton.com reader Courtney was in the audience at the time and she was able to get some footage of John doing stand-up.
Lots of forced laughter and uncomfortableness!
Click here to watch Mayer tell his jokes, if you can call them that.
