Huuuze Reviews

Anytime a celebrity dies, the members of Fark.com always wish that celebrity a fond farewell. And by "fond farewell", I mean they say some fairly mean (yet funny) things.

With that being said, here are the best comments from the members who are saying "goodbye" to Isaac Hayes (South Park's Chef, "Shaft" songwriter, Scientologist), who passed away today:

• "Damn. Bernie Mac. Issac Hayes. That sucks big floppy donkey dicks. Who will complete the trifecta?" 
  
• "Dead black entertainer trifecta now in play..., DENZEL, JUST FARKING STAY IN THE HOUSE!" 
  
• "At least he's finally free from thetans." 
  
• "Cedric the Entertainer is looking over his shoulder..." 
  
• "Oh my god, they killed Isaac Hayes! You b**tards!" 
  

And, my personal favorite Chef moment from South Park...

As if it weren't bad enough that EIGHT PEOPLE purchased the $1000 "I Am Rich" application for the iPhone, now one of those people has uploaded a video that shows the app in motion.  Again, you'll be banging your head with your keyboard when you see this truly pathetic app contains both typos and the world's lamest mantra, yet still managed to pocket the developer $5600.

I'm a big fan of Napoleon Dynamite and its director, Jared Hess.  He's been fairly quiet since Nacho Libre was released, but it looks like that's about to change.  His upcoming movie, Gentlemen Broncos, has the following elevator pitch:

A teenager attends a fantasy writers' convention where he discovers his idea has been stolen by an established novelist.

If that weren't enough to make you run to the theater, then check out this YouTube video that features the aforementioned "established novelist", Ronald Chevalier (great name).  In fact, the only thing cooler than his name is his website.

It's slated for a 2009 release, so keep your eyes on the RonaldChevalier.com for additional updates.

If you like Joss Whedon, then this is REQUIRED viewing. It'll make you remember why shows like Buffy, Angel, and Firefly were truly great.

Best line in the movie: "The hammer is my penis.". Classic.

Is it just me or have video game designers begun to look back at the "golden age of video games" to help them move forward? Seemingly, more and more games are following a "simple, yet fun" paradigm, thanks in large part to the success of the Wii.

"The Last Guy", an upcoming game for the Playstation 3 appears to follow that design and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. Judge for yourself:

Well, you can include me amongst the people giving "The Dark Knight" a positive review. If you liked "Batman Begins", you'll LOVE "The Dark Knight". Heath Ledger, who will undoubtedly receive an Oscar nomination for his better-than-Nicholson portrayal of Batman's arch enemy, was a great mix of likable and creepy as "The Joker". He overshadows every other character on screen and you can't help but feel a little angry when you realize that you won't be seeing him reprise the role in future films.

The only negative is that the movie feels a little long. It logs in at 152 minutes and by the end of it, you feel like you just finished watching a great mini-series rather than a feature-length film. However, this is more of a nitpick than a real criticism. Every minute of the film is necessary to the plot and the end of the movie leaves you wondering what will happen in Batman 3.

In a nutshell, all of the good reviews you're hearing aren't the result of a Hollywood snowball effect. "The Dark Knight" is a great summertime movie and rather than reading about it, you should be watching it.
