Frighteningly Spot-On
by allancarreon on Oct.04, 2016, under Film & TV, Snark, Society
Last weekend, my lady Kate McKinnon as well Alec Baldwin did an awesome and hilarious parody on SNL of the first 2016 US Presidential Debate (which happened just the Monday prior). It is so spot-on that we all should be frightened – simply because this impersonation is exactly what Donald Trump truly is, and perhaps Alec’s portrayal is even tamer than the real thing. Trump’s this close not only to becoming president of his own country but also the most powerful man in the world.
And that is a frightening thought indeed.
Do the right thing, American brothers and sisters!
Moving Cargo

In the spirit of Train to Busan, here is a zombie short film from Australia that preceded the South Korean blockbuster by a couple of years. It’s just as moving; what is it about fathers and zombies these days?
It’s worth the watch.
The Return of Jack & Karen
by allancarreon on Sep.29, 2016, under Film & TV
Earlier this week, they dropped a mini-reunion of sorts of the primary cast of Will & Grace (which, in my opinion, really should have been called Jack & Karen back then because, well, if you ever watched and loved the show like I did, you’d know exactly why). Whether this leads to an actual full-on revisit of the show or if it’s just a one-off clip for the 2016 USA elections, only time will tell. Regardless, they’ve teased us with a new taste of this classic, and it is absolutely delicious.
To not follow-through with more would just be so cruel. Cruel, I tell you!
You see Avengers. I see Andrew Wells.

Okay, I know this video has all sorts of A-list celebrities, including several Avengers and Doogie Howser, but I’m sorry – I only actually geeked out at Tom Lenk.
Go, Andrew Wells! I still love you, and you’re still cute and hilarious AF.
Derrick Does Puccini

So my friends and I watched Oh Boy! at the Music Museum last night. Yes, yes we did. The primary common driver for most of us was to see rising artist Derrick Monasterio, whom I’ve been a fan of for a few years now. We’ve also been quite fond of all the other performers – particularly Aljur Abrenica and Jake Vargas, not to mention Rocco Nacino – but Derrick was really the main guy for three out of the four of us.
Because, well, look at him.
Imaginary Catfights

People on social media dragging Jennifer Aniston’s name into the Brangelina divorce just for “a laugh” are pathetic.
It’s been over ten years, she’s clearly moved on, and her husband Justin Theroux is way hotter than Brad (#sorrynotsorry). I’m almost sure she barely gives a fuck, if at all. And while I’m not a big fan of Jennifer (despite being a Friends fanatic, she was my least liked person on the show), the woman is in a vastly different place now, and she deserves peace and happiness after a successful career.
They could be brothers.

Yesterday, I wrote about Kevin Zegers (1984), of whom I’m a huge fan.
What I didn’t mention is how I’ve always thought how much similar he looked to two other actors that I adore: the older Ian Somerhalder (1978) and the younger Zac Efron (1987). (If you don’t know any of them, especially Zac, please abandon the rock you’ve made your home and join us in civilization.) They all look distinct enough but have sufficient similar features and angles that they could be brothers.
As it turns out, I’m not the only one who thinks this because I’ve encountered at least one site that basically agreed with me.
The Male Revelation: 32
by allancarreon on Sep.19, 2016, under Film & TV
I first saw Canadian actor Kevin Zegers in the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. Apparently, he’d already built a bit of a name as a child actor starring in the Air Bud series, but as I’d never watched those films, I only got to know about him in that classic zombiepocalypse revamp where he played a young mall security guard torn between his loyalty to his colleagues and doing the right thing.
Yes, I won’t deny that he caught my eye because he’s so cute and adorable. Look at him.
