R Rated Movies In South Australia Become Equivalent to XXX Movies

I know there might be some of you from the Kangaroo continent, so I won’t be too harsh.  But apparently some people down under have their panties in a bundle.   Wow, what paussies!  Oh ooh, did you see what I did there!? Funny right?

New ‘Tekken’ Trailer

I don’t play Tekken much but I have a feeling this movie is not going to inspire me to play it more than I already do.  I’m sorry Tekken fans.  Maybe it will be good.  I know you people gamble.  What are the odds that this will be like every other video game movie?

Newest ‘Kick-Ass’ Trailer

If you haven’t seen it, there’s a new trailer for ‘Kick-Ass’.  It’s pretty kickass! Get it?  Hilarious, I know.  (And before you ask, no I have not read the comic.  But the people here at work tell me it’s pretty kickass.  Ha! I crack myself up.)

On an Australian TV show, a man came on stage to propose to his girlfriend of 3 years only to be DENIED.

There’s a rumor that I hope is true. SciFiWire is saying that George Lucas is assembling a team of TV writers right now for a live action Star Wars series. OMG! Shut your mouth!!

SciFiWire writes, “The as-yet-untitled series is supposedly set to debut in 2010, though there has been no word of a distributor yet. The series will reportedly be set between the eras of Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope and will not feature any major characters from the film series.”

It is rumored to shoot in Australia.

In Australia, a kangaroo broke into a house and began jumping on top of two people while they lay cowered under the covers in their bed. But the best part is what the woman thought it was. She said quote,
“My initial thought when I was half awake was: it’s a lunatic ninja coming through the window.”
Really? A ninja?? You live in Australia!! Is it really more realistic to have a ninja come into your house than a kangaroo? If so, I’d like to come visit. Can I stay with you?
