I planned on doing this a while back with Grindhouse atleast, and I have a few more planned for.... THE FUTURE.... so expect more of these:
So what is the Hype Machine? Well, this is just a resource guide that tells you what you should be excited about, and what you can watch to build your excitement.
So what are we Hyping up today? A Movie that probably hasn't came to your movie theatre yet in America, and a UK band in their sophmoric effort.
Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
Last year, The Arctic Monkeys came out with their first full-length CD and pretty much delivered with a great batch of songs that I still listen to today. These guys sound heavily like The Strokes, and are similar to one of my favorite UK bands, Franz Ferdinand(AKA, Take Me Out from Guitar Hero for those who don't know much). So here's to hoping for a successful second album to the Arctic Monkeys(and from hearing from the 3 singles already released, it should be fun).
Playlist:
1. When The Sun Goes Down
2. I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor
3. Fake Tales of San Francisco
4. You couldn't probably see for the light but you were looking straight at me
5. Who the F**k are the Arctic Monkeys?
6. Chun Li's Spinning Bird Kick - (Greatest song name of all time)
7. Brainstorm
Videos:
Hot Fuzz
FYI, this is the followup movie from the team that brought you the best rom-zom-com from 2004. This time, instead of homaging Zombie movies, their taking a stab at Buddy Cop action movies. This has been out in the UK for a while now, and just hit America in limited release yesterday, don't worry, it'll come. What shall you do while eagerly anticipating Hot Fuzz? Watch the movies that it's homaging, silly!
Playlist:
Shaun of the Dead (this scene is where they beat up the zombie bartender to the rhythm of Queen)
ehh... to heck with it... MORE SHAUN OF THE DEAD!
