"Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service, has turned into a powerful tool in the hands of not only consumers but marketers of all stripes as well. Comcast, Paramount Pictures and a handful of others have all latched on to it as a way to communicate with customers, acting not only as a distribution platform but a conversation hub and customer service hub as well. Some of the biggest names in the social media marketing world are spending serious time brainstorming how to use Twitter for marketing, debating its usefulness and otherwise hashing out a series of best practices for utilizing the service. Media outlets have also turned to Twitter for many of the same reasons. TV Guide, Fox News and even Spout have a presence there to, again, promote their content and, in some cases, even engage in a back-and-forth with readers. But did you know that Darth Vader is twittering? How about Cobra Commander?

Weirdsville - Review

"An all around stupidly entertaining little film from the kind people of Canada, Weirdsville is an amalgam of the dark, witty dialogue and pacing of Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and the not-so-original plotline of "drugs + desperation = bad things" from countless movies (the most recent seen by myself being Smiley Face). Direction and farcically desperate, yet surprisingly effective characters keep this movie from being just another forgettable weekend rental. "

Fun Neo-Noir

"Neo-Noir is an odd beast. It encompasses everything from “L.A. Confidential” to “The Usual Suspects” to “Pulp Fiction.” One of the latest additions to this genre is the satirical “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.”Whereas most neo-noir films take themselves and their content seriously, KKBB makes fun of the genre while also remaining true to its finer points. Like other neo-noir films, nothing is as it seems and plot twists fly around as fast and plentiful as bullets. This film's difference is that the lead character knows he’s in a movie and pokes fun at the narrator device as well as miraculous survivals and how-did-I-not-think-of-that plot twists.The story begins with our lead man running away from cops after trying to boost some toys. In his haste, he accidentally runs into a movie audition and manages to land the part. He’s then flown out to Hollywood where a private detective starts giving him lessons on how to be a co ... "

"Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang (2005) is a post-modern film noir. Consequently, the movie takes every convention of a hard boiled murder mystery and subverts it. Robert Downey Jr., as Harry, narrates, and he stops the film to explain or include certain things. Val Kilmer plays the gay private eye who is supposed to teach the young actor how to be a detective, but he really does not teach him much. Nor is he a believable gay person. The female plays a bad actress who must, then, over-act most of the movie. As a romance develops between her and Downey, everything possible is done to keep it non-romantic and screwed up. There is some action, but the movie never tries to give you enough details to take a good guess at what was going on. Because the plot and theme and characters and cinematic conventions are all undercut, the movie tries to appeal by swearing (this did not work for me) and by being so clever in its destruction of all conventions. But I ask: Why make a movie which shows how clev ... "

"I love this movie. It isn't perfect, but it is original, a breath of fresh air amidst all of the mediocre and stale films that have been covering Blockbuster's shelves lately. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is a great dark comedy/murder mystery. It is fast paced and the dialogue is clever and snappy. The chemistry between Val Kilmer and Robert Downey, Jr. is fantastic, they are great together and really play off of one another. I also enjoy Downey's narration in this film, the way the narration is presented added a nice touch to the already off-beat film. My only complaint is that when it is explained how the two murders are connected, I ended up feeling a little jipped, I think the writers could have come up with a much better twist and a more interesting ending to the film. But that minor dissapointment certainly didn't change my opinion of the film. I thought Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang was entertaining and I enjoyed its unique and the artistic execution. "
