Dexter: Season 5 (SPOILER)
Jul 25th
Here is the trailer for Dexter: Season 5 that aired at Comic Con. If you haven’t seen the first 4 seasons of Dexter and you’re a guy, then you absolutely should. It may take a few days/weeks, but watching Dexter for the first time reminded me of watching LOST episode after episode. New episodes start September 26th, so you have some time.
This season promises to be darker and more disturbing than all four seasons before it.
New beats from The Kid
Jul 23rd
Cudi is offering up more from his upcoming album set to release later this year. The kid and Kanye kicking us some new killer creativity with “Erase Me”. Alliteration aside, I kinda dig the new beat. The guitar riff throws you off at first. I thought it was them trying make Cudi more mainstream, but the track somehow still keeps the feel of both artists. Check it out here
Hands off my Lindsey Lohan!
Jul 23rd
Never say a harlot is past their prime. After all the drug abuse, the multiple visits to rehab/Hollywood vacation and her daily intake of gallons of hard liquor, Lindsey still has a stupid sexy body and amazes again. I know you all thought that the purple swimsuit was the peak of of this hotty, but these new photos from complex.com show a much darker, slightly sluttier, and much to my approval, more brunnete side of The Parent Trap star we all fell in love with back in ’98. Hopefully she makes it through prison ok and puts out a few more scandalous pictures and god willing, another Mean Girls. Or she could just put out. Dealer’s choice.
Attempt at Viral Marketing?
Jul 23rd
With the new direct TV commercial, one would thing that Old Spice man, Isaiah Mustafa, has inspired more monologue driven, obscure Viral Marketing attempts. Perhaps just a complement or maybe a mockery (Direct TV is good at this), either way there is no denying the resemblance.

Worth the $8.50
Jul 18th
If you happen to come across a small fortune or sub lease a home for a short time you might be able to afford a Movie ticket. If this is the case, here’s some NPNR approved films to see in theater.
Inception 9.5/10
As Tracy Jordan would say, ” I love this movie so much I wanna take it behind the Middle School and get it pregnant.” Nolan gives us the 2010 summer blockbuster with great action, an intriguing plot, grade A casting, and an artfully lucid element that leaves us wanting more (even after two and a half hours). A big movie that still retains a love of film making and challenges what can be done in an action sequence. At the end of the last decade, we got the matrix and now we have inception.
Winter’s Bone 8/10
This beautifully dull film about a backwoods family with a hierarchy that ends at a 16 year old girl inspires quiet a bit of pity. Feelings of isolation and vulnerability make this a film well worth the $8.50. If you can find an art theatre playing it, that is.
Toy Story 3 (8.5/10)
Like this needs to be said. I’d argue those of us who grew up linear to the progression of TS1 TS2 and TS3 could be called Generation Toystory. Appropriate ages 3-103
NPNR Vernacular – Part 1

Like so many inside jokes the men of NPNR implore a plethora of awesome phrases, sayings, and life lessons, we believe that the public not only has the right but the need to utilize.

· (See Soristitute)
Sorostitute [n, soros-ti·tute]-
-A term generally reserved for those in a sorority, though not all promiscuous, they are relativley simple to spot.
Telltale signs:

Leggings in winter and summer:

Twilight but no twinkle
Jul 15th
Never again will I see a vampire movie where the vampires sparkle in sunshine.
It’s great for a genre to be tested, tweaked, or tuned up in order to challenge norms and bring the audience something new. This is what Twilight attempts to do. In many ways I want to like the basic story. I mean isn’t it every guys dream to be 105 and dating sixteen year olds? …But, vampires that sparkle, rather than incinerate when in day light, just seems like a cop out. I understand I can’t dog on the film making by attacking the book series, but this bothers me. A vampire love story written for middle school girls with middle school dialog… Where could this go wrong?
With millions of Twilight series books sold, the immense fan base is clearly dedicated and deserving of a grade A, complimenting film. This is not what they received with Twilight Eclipse. Too many times the film had face-palm moments. Moments when, as an adult male sitting in a theatre of tweens and house wives (embarrassing enough), I had to bury my face in my hand. Some of these moments included dialog like “I am Switzerland” or great acting moments from Taylor Lautner. Other moments were during action sequences that would have been more realistic as claymation. In other words, everything that justifies seeing a shitty summer movie is missing. The scene with the most potential (a ten year old vampire being executed on a whim without anyone to dramatically save her) was cut out by a camera pan : ( . All I’m left with at the end of this film is embarrassment and a strange desire for my own Edward .
