Fun for pre-long weekend Thursday

-
The latest Movies in 30 Seconds with Bunnies hit the Net towards the end of last week. This time, Spider-Man was the spoof target of the team from Angry Alien Productions. It's awesome. Check out the Flash clip by clicking here.


Next up for the Bunnies: Pirates of the Caribbean!

The 300 fun continues with Popped Culture's own unique take on Spartan infancy. Isn't baby Leonidas cute... cute but disturbing? Click here to see the rest of the pics.


Last but not least, I heard about Figure Fanatix, South Africa's premiere figurine/entertainment collectibles website for the first time this week. Yesterday I saw an ad in the DSTV Guide, and decided to check out the site. What an awesome selection of competitively priced goodies! Everything from the Lost series to the new 300 and Grindhouse figures to Hannah Barbera, to DC collectibles to Wallace and Gromit. I thought the Jay and Silent Bob cartoon-style collection was especially cool, although I'm super keen for a plush Mogwi or Batman statue.

I too found out about them last week from an advert - FHM specifically. I checked them out and they have an awesome selection and their prices aren't bad either.

I just wish they had a bigger anime figurine selection. AnimeDirect.co.za have a big anime figurine selection, but their prices can be quite high sometimes.

Both are awesome online shops though.

Is the rebooted Lara Croft gay? Evidence for and against...

As some of you know, I’ve been fangirling hard over the new Tomb Raider , the first entry in the video game series since 2008, and ostensibly a reboot for the entire franchise . Taking the form of an origin story, Tomb Raider 2013 depicts the events that transformed a beautiful, if bookish, archaeology graduate into a pistol-packing adventurer with a devil-may-care attitude. We meet Lara Croft as a pretty, fairly ordinary 21 year old, brooding over her work notes, listening to her mp3 player and very much confined to the shadow of her male mentors. By the end of the game, however, she’s taken charge – she’s had to! – and, battered, bruised and bloody, she’s both a survivor and hero, right down to rescuing the princess and carrying her away in her arms. Yeah, this is probably the best point to mention that there will be some Tomb Raider 2013 spoilers in this post, so read ahead with caution. Anyway, I loved the game. Technically it’s near faultless, it looks beautiful, the ov

Weekend report-back: beach, board games and books

So I'm back in the office after a 4 day weekend. And I'm trying not to remind myself that it's almost 3 months until the next public holiday. Bah! Anyway, pop culture didn't play too massive a part in my mini-break. There was braai -ing (expected on National Braai Day), the baking of pretzels in celebration of Oktoberfest ( even if we weren't in Munich this year ), working on the next Girlz 'N' Games comic , and a family lunch to celebrate my mother and cousin's birthdays. A hefty chunk of the weekend however was spent at one of my favourite holiday destinations: the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast. We were celebrating a friend's birthday at his family's holiday flat in Southbroom. So there was much chilling and eating and games playing, as well as kite flying, dolphin spotting and swallowing of saltwater as I flailed around in the choppy, chilly surf. We even managed to find Emo Shell! Anyway, film viewing was neglected this weekend, with the excepti

Movies today, SA!

Despite the fact that 5 new films open in South Africa today, not a single one is worthy of an extended Pick of the Week description. If you haven't seen it yet (like me), go and watch Disney-Pixar's Up instead. If you can't get past a deeply ingrained "grown-up" prejudice against animated films, what about seeking out the Johnny Depp-Christian Bale gangster movie Public Enemies ? Hell, you could even go and watch District 9 again. Just stay away from the mediocrity released this weekend. Yeesh. I Hate Valentine's Day - Nia Vardalos reteams with her My Big Fat Greek Wedding love interest John Corbett for this romantic comedy in which a carefree florist lives by a "5 dates only" rule so a relationship never develops and she never gets hurt. A charming restaurateur, however, forces her to re-evaluate her unusual approach to dating. 17% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes . Karate Kallie - A South African comedy about Kallie, a fat teenager, who is mercilessly
