6 Pop Culture Resolutions for 2014
I may as well say that my New Year’s resolutions for 2014 are to lose weight and save money, but I’ve kind of been making those same resolutions for the past 30 years, and they haven’t come true yet! So how about we veer wildly off course and talk about something much more fun: pop culture!
No, I’m not resolving to play fewer video games or watch less TV. Don’t be crazy.
Though I’m totally gonna lose weight and save money. Totally.
Instead, I’ve whipped up a list of 6 pop culture things I want to see in 2014. We already know what movies, TV shows and more are coming out, and I resolve to drown myself in all of them. But we don’t know how good or bad they’re going to be, or what surprises might be in store. So let’s get our hopeful wishing hats on, and predict the 6 pop culture resolutions we want to see in 2014!
And yes, I realize these are more like ‘wishes’ than ‘resolutions’, but New Year is all about the resolutions. Cut me some slack, I had a cold this week. Join me after the jump!
Kung Fury is the Action Cop Movie of Our Dreams!
A world where creative, eager people can fund their dream projects through things like Kickstarter is a world I enjoying living in. Behold, Kung Fury, a movie whose trailer is the stuff of legend!
Wacky seems to be the name of the game, but I like wacky. Hopefully the real movie an live up to the awesomeness of the trailer! If you want to donate, or just learn more, here is their Kickstarter page. And thanks to Henchman Xavier for the tip!
All I Want for Christmas is LEGOs!
Whenever someone asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year, I told them I wanted LEGOs. And yes, I did turn 30 this year. Thank you.
The problem with being 30 is that I already buy anything I need. That means Christmas gifts should be things I want. And with DVDs going out of style, and my tastes in clothing, music and books relatively unknown, I asked for LEGO sets, because deep down, I’m still a little boy.
My dad said he didn’t want to get me LEGOs until I had kids of my own who could play with them. I can’t say he’s wrong. But have you seen the new Jabba’s Palace LEGO sets!? They are sweet!
It’s Movie Trailer Time!
A couple of movie trailers dropped yesterday for some films I’m interested in seeing. Sounds like postible material to me!
How to Train Your Dragon 2
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Hopefully 2014 will be a good year in films.
How Thor: The Dark World Should Have Ended
No sooner do I announce that Thor: The Dark World was my favorite movie this year than the HISHE guys come out with their cartoon! How timely.
Normally I don’t like it when they just cut straight to their diner scenes, but this one actually turned that whole concept on its head with the Villains Pub, while simultaneously providing an answer for how Thor: The Dark World really should have ended. Good job, guys! This one was pretty darn hilarious. I especially liked how they snuck in a zinger about how Man of Steel should have ended. Good times.
