The Movielicious #6 – Mirth and Mayhem

If you are not totally disturbed by the image on the right, you can proceed to the podcast and hear Nicole, Turpster and myself review two of the most different movies you could ever think of, and not even try to transition between them. This episode’s program is:

• Brüno
• Up
• And Micheal Clayton, Mannequin and Flight of the Navigator.

Enjoy!

Phileas #15 – Our Chinese overlords

Episode 15 is a slightly different show; the original idea was to have a long part of the first, “internationnal” segment as a discussion about China and how we see it in our future, and then move on the the local stories… But as the flow of the show went seamlessly the other way around, we decided to keep it going like the natural, fun conversation we like to have every month. As we said during the show, the Phileas Club is a planet wide coffee table where friends of different backgrounds come together and chat for a while.

So for the month of July, Turki, Scott and Patrick talk about health care, Walter Cronkite, Iranian planes, swine flu pandemic, Barrack Obama, French workers blowing up factories, as well as the issue of sex toys on Saudi TV and the future of our Chinese overlords.

HIW #20 – Marcko

We’ve been saying we wanted to talk about the auction house for a while… Where now we have: Marcko (of the wonderful Wow economy blog Just My Two Coppers) reveals (some of) his secrets about making loads and loads of money in the game…. and much more!

The Movielicious #5 – Harry Potter and the Ghastly Hormones

Alas! Just as Nicole is joined by special guest Eileen in an attempt to make The Movielicious a more gender balanced podcast, the Internet Gods decide to punish her with an outage in the middle of the show!
The irony? Her schedule was the reason why we delayed the show for a few days… Thankfully she has time to give her opinion about our main movie of the week: Harry Potter.
Turpster and myself are left with the wonderful Eileen to discuss the others:

• Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
• Ice Age 3
• Sunshine Cleaning
• As well as Speed Racer, Rolemodels and In Bruges.

If you want to listen to Eileen’s excellent vampire centric show, it can be found right at The Bite Club Show.
And in the after show, we discussed a hilarious website where movies plots (and other things) are summed up in a 160 characters or less! The site is called Blippr.

Enjoy!

A Feud of Epic Proportions.

[UPDATE 2 - Surprising settlement]

For Immediate release:

A few hours ago, minutes before the official end of the duel, the Parisian Bureau of Ethical Affairs ruled that this e-battle was causing a substantial amount of harm to the online community, and should be resolved peacefully.
I have thus decided to lay  the matter to rest, and as the offended party I will declare the matter a draw as of this moment ( the rules of Internet Dueling clearly state, in section A12 – amendment C: “Dude, the offended party can, like, totally declare the duel a draw”). The world can sleep soundly tonight, and we are all relieved.

On a personal note, I will say that I suspect Mr. Merritt will be especially relieved, as his score was obviously a disappointment: trailing well bellow the 50% mark for most of the duration of the poll, he mostly failed to reach the majority he needed to prove his point, and was (according to expert analysis) set to lose altogether had the process reached its conclusion. No thanks are required, I only do what’s best for the common good.

We will now go back to our daily lives, glad that the worst has been avoided.

[UPDATE - STUNNING DEVELOPMENT!]

A few days ago, the podcast “The Movielicious” released its fourth installment where the hosts gave their reviews (kinda) of the movie “The Hangover”.

Not long after that, tech personality Tom Merritt launched a vicious attack on Patrick Beja’s character. Being a man of honor, Patrick responded in the only way he could: with dignity. He requested that this terrible feud be settled in the olden tradition of Internet Duels, in the form of a courageous poll: he knows he is severely handicapped by Mr. Merritt’s inexplicable popularity on “The Twitter”. But Patrick is ready to stand for his ideas and suffer the consequences of his bravery.

This poll will last for roughly five days (until Friday July 10th). Please vote according to your conscience.
