So I was browsing the tubes and I stumbled onto some Ghostbusters 3 stuff and said to myself “Really f’ing 3D?” Yes we all know it’s been a growing trend in this new age of tech but, enough already. Here’s my issue. Clearly Hollywood is milking this thing for all it’s worth. Every new movie I practically read about now has some form of f’ing 3D in it now. The ironic thing about this “gimmick” and it is just that a gimmick. Hollywood and the studios obviously feel this is a format that’s going to be around for a while and TV makers are jumping on the bandwagon. With that said I’m tired of the gimmick I don’t need to have things flying at my head to enjoy a good movie. This new trend in Hollywood obviously is a tactic being used to gain movie goers. It’s almost like Hollywood saying “Yeah we know the movie is a turd but, it’s in 3-D and your going to love it because it’s 3-D. While films have been released in 3-D and not in 3-D. How long is it before every film we see at a theater is going to be in 3-D? Just because it’s the new big thing to do in films doesn’t make it great. Maybe with Hollywood’s claims of piracy running the industry into the ground. Is this possibly just Hollywood’s attempt to curb piracy by adding this technology to films now? Hhhmmm…..

We’ve returned and with that said it’s time to get back to business. The cast barely scratches the surface of the films and trailers we viewed over the Holidays. Come and join us on our likes and dislikes.

AWESOME!
So Christmas is over New Years is a hangover and it’s all in the past now. What I’d like to know is what movie goodies did you get over the holidays? Was it a gift card to a theater? Did you get a box set, posters, shirts, etc? Perhaps you got the worst movie as a gift for Christmas. For me personally I got some good movie treats like Up, District 9, Poltergeist Remastered, and the entire Six Feet Under series. Yes it’s not a movie but, it’s still a good series in any event. Let’s hear what are some of the best and worst movie gifts you got this Christmas.

I just saw this story on Yahoo! and it had many things that raised my eyebrows but one in particular made my blood pressure rise.
I recently went to see a movie at a local Cinemark. And several times in the movie I saw cell phones light up and once a phone rang and an old woman answered it. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD PEOPLE! When did your F’ing cell phone become more important than personal courtesy? Why can you not go 2 hours with out taking a call? If you must MUST have your cell phone, set it to vibrate. Then if it rings, get up and walk out before pulling it out of your pocket. Then answer it in the hallway outside of the theater. I would LOVE if the theaters would install a thing that would jam any cell signals. That would be awesome.
Nevertheless, here is the one bit of this article that enraged me. Basically it says that theaters don’t care if they have cell phones in the auditorium because the bulk of offenders are teens and they need the teens money. They don’t want a backlash of theater goers. Here is an excerpt from that article.
8. “Actually, your neighbor’s cell doesn’t bother us that much.”
We’ve all been there: sitting in the theater, our attention consumed by the drama unfolding on screen, only to have the spell broken by a ringing cell phone or the distracting glow of a text message. And with the cultural shift toward personal technology well under way, such disturbances are becoming a regular part of the theater experience, says Toon van Beeck, senior analyst at market-research firm IBISWorld. “People are so glued to their cell phones that it’s become a big problem for theaters,” he says.
A major check on theaters attempting to police these and other sorts of audience disturbances is the fear of customer backlash, says van Beeck. Movie houses don’t want to lose younger audiences — who are primarily responsible for disruptions — by cracking down too hard. “But they’ve got to at least show the baby boomers that they’re trying,” says van Beeck. Kerasotes Theatres, a Midwest chain with 94 theaters, has taken steps toward offering an escape from rowdy crowds with its “enchanted evening” policy. At select locations on Friday and Saturday nights, no one under the age of 17 is permitted without an adult into movies that start after 9 p.m. The policy, says a spokesperson for Kerasotes, is intended to get people to attend the movies as a family. “When Mom and Dad are around, everyone tends to be on their best behavior.”
Rage!
We are in the midst of our holiday vacation and figured we couldn’t let an episode go by. So we decided to do an interview show so you could learn a little more about us and why we grouped to form this podcast. Enjoy part 1 and will be back for part 2 in 2010.

Rob here from Movies for Nobodies. We’ve been doing the show nonstop for over 3 years YIKES. Well the holidays are in full swing and as such travel, parties, and gatherings of friends and families are upon us. So with that in mind the cast felt the need to take the month of December off from doing the show. Fear not though my nobodies your podcast feeds won’t be silenced. We’re going to be doing some smaller intimate podcast episodes very soon to keep you entertained. You might just find out a lot more about the voices of the cast. You never know. So stay tuned! Thanks

So occasionally this cast likes to do a little gaming. What is it with movies and games going together hand in hand? It’s almost like chocolate and peanut butter but, that’s beside the point. If your a gamer and wanna play with or against some of the cast in a death match or currently a Left for Dead zombie blood bath join our Steam Group. Yup we’ve been fighting the zombie apocalypse from time to time. So if your down with shooting dead folks with the occasional fat guy exploding bile all over you come join us. Hilarity seems to follow.
