Easter Weekend Roundup


someecards.com

We really hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend filled with lots of egg dying, family time and biting the heads off chocolate bunnies! Just because it was a holiday weekend doesn't mean some interesting pop culture happenings didn't go down. Here's a quick rundown of some that we thought were especially relevant...

Sean Hunter: Dungeon Master?

You watched Boy Meets World as a child. This is a given. If you're a girl, you probably had a crush on Rider Strong, the actor behind the slightly mischevious but ever-loyal best friend, Sean Hunter. What you may not have known is that this 90s heartthrob was, to put it lightly, a nerd. He and his brother we so much into Dungeons and Dragons that, years later, it inspired a comedy short film called "Dungeon Master" which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival over the weekend. Strong's thoughts on the film? "It's totally a true story." Should be interesting.

Notes from American Royalty

If you've got an extra $25-$35k sitting around (and Mallory TOTALLY wishes she did for this), why not use it to buy (Mallory) some letters written by a teenage Jackie O, penned in her Bouvier days? Notes about young love, and eventually a lack thereof, written by the 17 year-old to her Harvard boyfriend will be auctioned off by Christie's.

Arkansas' very own Peyton Hillis is going head to head with Michael Vick. Less in a dog-fighting sort of way and more in a vote-for-me kind of way. These two made it to the finals in Madden's '12 Cover Vote. Click here to vote!

  A Letter to You, Pumpkins

Today is the first day of production on The Avengers.  You know that giant super hero film that comes out next summer that we keep mentioning in our posts about Thor and Captain America?  The one that includes the movies Iron Man 1 & 2 and The Incredible Hulk?  And just this weekend there was some last minute filming for Captain America in the middle of Time's Square.  Here's a letter to the fans from the director of The Avengers, Joss Whedon.

Hi Pumpkins, joss here.
Tomorrow we start shooting (I THINK I’m legally permitted to say that). Day one. That’s right. We’ll be shooting the pivotal death/betrayal/product placement/setting up the sequel/coming out scene, at the following address:
[Marvel Lawyers rush in, take Joss's keyboard, blowtorch a picture of his family like in "Stormy Monday", drink his milkshake, leave the seat up, fluff his pillows, violently unfluff his pillows, leave]
Went too far. My bad. Anyhoo, it should be a fun day, followed by the eighty thousand other fun days it will take to finish this. I’ll be checking in from time to time, if there’s news or I crave attention (i.e. am awake) . None of it will be Avengers news — I have some very denty pillows to remind of that — but I may have tidbits. (They’re not about Firefly. I should say that up front, if only to protect Sis Mo from the HATORZ.)…
…So wish me luck. DO IT! LUCK! NOW! I’m off to finish some Buffy pages, and then figure out what the movie is about already. I’m pretty sure it’s about the Justice League [Marvel Lawyers re-enter, unspeakability occurs] or possibly something else. I’ll get it. I’ve been looking forward to this. For about 46 years.
Catchphrase!
-j.
