How Fast Will He Spend It?

This is an article about Charlie Sheen's lawsuit against Two and a Half Men

Charlie Sheen's lawsuit against Warner Bros. has come to an end. After being fired from the show, he filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. The inital details divulged he will be making $25 million from the lawsuit, and will continue to have money come to him due to syndication of his episodes. After premiering the first episode after Sheen's departure, this can be seen as a move by the show to completely cut ties from Sheen and his antics.
However, they continue to make money off of him from the seasons involving his character, and anything he does will still have (however minor) an effect on the show, as he will continually be associated as the star who made it what it is. However, the real mystery is how long he'll actually have the money to spend on prostitutes, porn stars, and drugs.

Person of Interest: Pilot

The pilot episode of Person of Interest was premiered last Thursday, and it definitely impressed. The premise is a unique spin on the rehashed-to-death crime drama genre, and the writing is a superb compliment to the phenomenal acting of Michael Emerson and Jim Caviezel as Mr. Finch and John Reese respectively.

The episode itself was surprisingly well-paced and interesting enough for the premiere. Well written dialogue and fast-paced action are blended seamlessly that appeals to a wide-variety of people. Most of the supporting acting was well-done, with the exception of the ridiculous corrupt cop and persecutor. The crime itself in the first episode was fairly boring, but that's expected for it's first time. The series looks to bring an intense paranoia that comes in post-9/11 New York, which is instantly engaging. Plus, the surveillance footage is cool to look at.

Why I chose Person of Interest

The show Person of Interest is a new crime drama on CBS. The reason I picked it was for several different reasons. Everything I've seen about this show from the commercials has made it look as though it has potential to be one of the best shows on television. The premise is unique to the often stale crime drama, in that it seemingly has a major intelligence about it.
It has also been the recipient of some of the biggest hype I've ever seen from any form of media. It's been getting more attention than any other show premiering this season, and probably more than even the most hyped show I remember, Lost. That turned out to be one of the greatest shows of all-time, and I'm hoping Person of Interest has the same, if not more, appeal.

Hannibal Lector coming to the silverscreen

This article is about a new Hannibal television series

A prequel to Hannibal Lector's life as an outed cannibal is in development by French-based Gaumont. The series will follow Dr. Lector and his relationship with the protagonist of the book/film Red Dragon, Will Graham, and his different cases of serial killers. Fans of Sir Anthony Hopkins will be dissapointed, as, similar to Hannibal Rising, this Lector will be a younger version.

As a personal fan of the Hannibal Lector storyline in both film and books, this will be an interesting endevour. Hannibal Rising was a bit of a joke, so I hope that the television series will be able to make up for the lack of Hopkins, who basically made the film series.

This article is about various pop-culture refrences in the videogame Dead Island

Videgames have come a long way since their inception in the 1950's. Before games like Call of Duty and Guitar Hero became popular and regularly accepted amongst the masses, gaming was a niche hobby that branded one as a social outcast and loser. The "nerdiness" of gaming is still prevelent when playing 'hardcore' games meant for a certain audience. Such is the case with Techland's new survival horror rpg Dead Island.

When playing the game, one is bound to come across a certain weapon, quest,  or achievement that will bring a smile to his or her face. Here are my favorites: From Tenacious D, the Pick of Destiny is a rare pickaxe refrencing the only (albeit hilarious) movie the faux rockers have made. Several quest names also have refrences to famous examples of media. Welcome to the Jungle and Family Matters are two of the more obvious ones, and the quest My Precious can remind everyone of their favorite bi-polar deranged Hobbit.

This is an article about the organization GLAAD criticize MTV for praise of hip-hop artist Tyler, the Creator.

During the recent MTV Video Music Awards, hip hop artist Tyler, the Creator won the award for Best New Artist, with his video "Yonkers" off his second full length LP, Goblin. The budding OFWGKTA star's nihilistic, hate-filled, and often times humorous wordplay has been as much a catalyst to his success as his tendency to attract controversy. In May, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation called Tyler and his fellow Odd Future membersfor "violent misogyny and homophobia in his lyrics", as well as claiming media outlets who play their music give a platform for the hate.

After his win, Matt Kane, the group's Associate Director of Entertainment Media wrote that Tyler "writes some of the most violently anti-gay and misogynistic music currently enjoying mainstream recognition." On that point, he's correct. However, the issue of free speech and censorship suddenly come into play. Whether or not MTV is in the right to play his music, even though it is heavily censored, is a topic which the heads of the company need to decide on. MTV needs to realize that many kids (whether it's appropriate or not) watch their network, and need to be proactive in educating their younger (and perhaps even older) viewers to not emulate or respect the lyrics Tyler and similar artists spew, as it's simple music like this that can teach impressionable young minds that hate and bigotry are alright.
