The Trailer (7)

Yes, the rumors are true, there is The Hangover Part II. My rhyming abilities aside, it seems the Wolfpack is back and this time heading to Bangkok for Stu's wedding. We saw what reckless mischief they got up to in Vegas, I can only hold back the laughter and cringes as to what they'll bring to Bangkok. Check out the teaser trailer below.





So what do you think? There doesn't seem like much to get out of this teaser, except for what seems to be a prison, a dirty hotel room (which is nothing new), Zach Galifianakis's head gets shaved, and once again there is no sign of Justin Bartha a.k.a. Doug, though he is in it. Also, so is Liam Neeson. This could definitely be awesome. Sober up for The Hangover Part II hitting theaters May 26.

Dream on.

The Rhythm (9)

You may be sick of zombies, but Michael Bay isn't. Plus, Browncoats use the internet to unite for a Firefly takeover, and the iPad 2 announcement you probably didn't know you were waiting for. And let's not forget rumors from EA, and Amazon slaps Netflix in the face with the white glove of streaming content..sort of

The Rhythm: transmitted and translated from the depths of cyberspace.

The Trailer (6)

Are you a fan of ridiculous comedies starring guys who refuse to grow up? Sigourney Weaver? Aliens? Well if you're not a fan of aliens you're going to have a hard time with majority of this year's blockbusters, but if you are into all the other stuff, and Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, then you'll probably into Paul. Paul is the story of the aforementioned gentlemen traveling the US when they encounter an alien outside of, you guessed it, Area 51. Still interested? Check out the red band trailer even if you're not, it could change your mind.




Early reviews are in for the film and state while it may not be up to par with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, it's still a fun ride. Count me in. Paul hits theaters March 18.

Dream on.

The 100

Welcome to the 100th post of The Archymedius Contingency! That's right, we've reached 100. I say "we" because I didn't do this all on my own, and I don't plan to forever. So what can you expect now that 100 has been reached?

The Creation

Imagination. Without it, pretty much any form of entertainment you hold dear would disappear, or rather never be brought into existence in the first place. Think about it: Star Wars, Stargate, Zelda, Mario, Lord of the Rings, [zombies], you get the idea. How does it work? Your guess is as good as mine.

The Anniversary (The Legend of Zelda)

25 years ago today, Link first graced Nintendo consoles in The Legend of Zelda. Since then, his struggles to save the nearly always in danger princess of Hyrule have brought excitement and joy to many a Nintendo fan. So what is Nintendo doing to celebrate the half-century birthday for one of the greatest franchises it has given rise to?

The Stream

When Hulu was launched in 2007, it was a streamed kick to the shins to the cable industry. Many network websites had been offering streaming versions of their television shows, but Hulu would combine all of those together, and offer shows from ABC, Fox, and NBC, with ads for free. Dominating the internet with legal streaming of television programs for free, Hulu stood to even make a dent in YouTube and Netflix. Now, almost four years later, Hulu may be screwed.

The Monday (2.21.11)

Monday, Monday. Here comes another Tom Sawyer Monday. The classic rock station will be experiencing a commercial break this week, so here's a bit of wisdom for you from RWE.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the simplest terms, and most convenient definition, be yourself. I think that's always good advice. Don't let your job change you, don't let the world change you. But if you're not happy being yourself, that's when you should change you. I know, a little heavy for Monday morning, but it's something to think about. Now...

Get your week on.
