Pure awesomeness
Well, anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that I love cheesy scifi/action/violence media. Recently I’ve found out about some stuff that looks like pure, distilled awesomeness.
First of all, is Grindhouse. Quite frankly, I was sold on the fact that a main character in the first film is a stripper with a gun for a leg. I quite frankly don’t think it’s possible to get better than that.
Next, is Heat Vision and Jack. An awesome TV pilot by Ben Stiller starring Jack Black as Jack Austin – an ex-astronaut exposed to ‘inappropriate levels of solar energy’ turning him into a genius when the sun comes out, and his unemployed room-mate turned motor-bike – Heat Vision. Really, how can it not be good when they are ‘blocked at every turn – by adventure!’. If only someone would pick this up and run with it, it could be good in the same way that Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place is good.
