Introducing “The Case.”
Here we share tracks, clips, and answer questions.
For those times you can’t find the name of a song, film, or any and all …… things entertainment??? Feel free to put us- on the case…
(So retro…love it!!!)
…
1. .What’s that awesome song in the Hunger Games trailer?
———————————–—
It’s actually called “Deep Shadows” and composed by Tying Tiffany and Lorenzo Montana. Burning all fan web forums as we speak, you can listen to it here…

2. .Will there be a Halo 4? A Reboot? When?
———————————–—
Most definitely there will be a Halo 4. Recent news on this can be found here. In the article Josh Holmes, creative director of Microsoft’s internal Halo development studio 343 Industries, notes on the game…
“Unlike Batman, we’re not resetting the state of the universe, we’re not starting the story over. This is not the origin story of Master Chief. This is a very deliberate continuation of a story that’s already in motion.”
Look for events in the game to take place right where Halo 3 left off and to hit shelves on November 6, 2012.

3. .Has A Sniper Ever Shot A Gun Out Of Someone’s Hand…?
———————————–—
Action gamers love pulling this during those long-caffeine fueled, Ramen induced shooting sprees. Especially when it’s against their friends. Why deal with someone armed when you can just shoot their weapon clear. But has this ever happened in real life? Sure. See below…

4. ..Do Female Audiences Hate Summer Action Movies…?
———————————–—
Ah, the age old question. Long held is that male audiences go with summer action fests while females prefer the usual romance paced dramas, otherwise known as “chick flicks.” Still, check ticket seller Fandango’s list for “must see movies” and you’ll find some interesting results.
Separating results by gender, we find that the top films female audiences are most excited for include The Avengers, Men In Black III, and The Dark Knight Rises.
And the one topping all of them? Snow White And The Huntsmen. Which you’ll see in the trailer below isn’t exactly all romance and circumstance. Dare we say, fully action paced…?

Here it comes…the updated PC version of a classic fairy tale. And this time they did it right! Everything is in exact accordance with the PC outlook of how the world should be: Woman smart. Man dumb. Big battle scene. PC message delivered. Buyer’s remorse (enhanced by waste of two hours).
They probably would have done better just to leave the whole’Snow White” aspect out of the title and run with something original. Different title, different premise…but for some strange reason they just HAD to attach the Snow White name to it. Wonder why they needed that so desperately? Making a classic over with the ‘correct’ outlook, maybe?
Of course, being orginal in hollywood is like voting for a conservative…it simply isn’t done.
Having not seen the movie (obviously) we can still pull out the ol’ crystal ball and take a look at what the likely storyline will be.
Smokey….smokey…becoming clearer…well, no surprises after all
Of course we have the obligatory she-has-a-bigger-set-of-(you know) than all of the guys in the movie. And she loves to prove it because all of the guys are…you know, stupid.
Which then means that anyone that does not seeing how wonderful this makes her, then they are clearly just a brainless trog.
She is, after all, the (stereotypical) PC characterization of what women are SUPPOSED to be. Just like Katnip…uh..Katkiss?…braver/smarter/better-than-you chick in HG.
(You know, with all the writers in hollywood you’d think they’d learn how to write a female character that is actually a female instead of the usual guy-with-boobs)
So anyhow, I suspect that she will be what is euphamistically called ‘feisty’ (trans: a b$@&h…and if you don’t love her for it, then you are clearly backwards in your thinking).
So, enter the metrosexual hero, that she hates at first but will fall in love with before the end (romance writing 101).
So, after she saves him (probably more than once, because, you know, guys are dumb), then, all of a sudden, he realizes that he can’t live without her! So, hopelessly smitten, by her ‘attitude of awesomeness’ he then follows after her like a puppy…which she also hates…until she decides otherwise, which will also occur just before the climatic final battle scene (more romance writing 101).
Throw in some (admittedly good) special effects, seven short dudes that are equally (and inexplicably) draw to her ‘feistiness’, add an evil witch/queen, a couple of escape scenes, perhaps a battle scene here and there and *POOF* there you have it: a chick-flick disguised as something guys would want to see.
If you’ve seen one romance/adventure movie, you’ve already seen this one (axiom concerning originality in hollywood inserted here).
Ergo: you basically get predictibilty applied across the entire spectrum. From writing to acting to production…you already know what happens.
But all is not lost. As HG proves, there is no end to the hormonal-teen-girl appetite for this kind of stuff. As long as daddy’s credit card goes through?…”Snow White And The Predictible Storyline” has a chance.
So now the question becomes: will the guys at P&A be able to spin it like HG?
Will this movie be the movie you HAVE to go see in order to qualify for coolness?
After all, there’s nothing more tragically sad than a teen girl being left out of what’s ‘cool’. It’s the end of the world!! Just ask ‘em.
With all-too-familiar heroines like this?…I’ll be pullin’ for the evil queen.
Time to consult the Priest’s rules for picking movies. In this case rule #18 clearly applies:
“If you have seen the trailer?…Then you’ve already seen the best parts of the movie. Spend money accordingly.”
Ha Ha. What’s funny is who they got to play the dwarfs in “Snow White…” They’re all bigger names.
If it makes you feel any better at all (and this is an old hag with two graduate degrees speaking, not a tween)
1. Hunger Games has a readership age of grandparents to young children now, apparently it’s not just for teens, it is the new Harry Potter, crossing all ages and demographics;
2. Someone at Box Office Theory’s forums got to see Snow White already and reports it’s actually quite great! I was completely indifferent to this when I watched the first trailer, but all the stuff that’s leaked out about the movie has now made me excited to see it. I’m sure having Thor and Bella Swan in it will help bring in the young ones, too but I doubt they’ll stick around if it’s a crappy movie.
I will admit that the one thing that keeps bugging me about the SW trailers is Charlize Theron’s awful Brit accent (they couldn’t have gotten an actual Brit actress for this role? what about Winslet or even Blanchett?) But it’s a minor quibble. Btw, on that note, in case anyone is wondering the name of the SW trailer background music, it’s this music here:

Wow. Great Music. Thanks Shelly.
