It's time for the final leg of our tour through the Bond films with the
first half of the tenure of Pierce Brosnan. The Boys Outta Brooklyn
argue that the Brosnan films represen...ted a hard reboot that pre-dated
the Craig reboot years later, and examine a great debut picture and a
lousy, lousy follow-up. We also discuss how the loss of the lawsuit
with MGM-UA affected how the Brosnan films were written and produced,
the value of fresh directorial blood, and a flaw in 'The Commentary
Script.' Plus Tom likes Michelle Yeoh...a lot..., the revelation of the
Peckinpah-Bond connection, and Derrick talks about his nominee for
worst Bond henchman. We are Inwincable, so get to clicking!

I was checking out the latest episode of Better In The Dark and Tom mentioned that the James Bond podcast, For Your Ears Only had recorded their own version of the BITD Theme song. Of course I tracked it down and it’s amazing. Here it is for everyone’s enjoyment. For the full episode, check them out at the shiny link.

Tom asked me to extend the instrumental I did for the original version so I decided to change the instrumental to Eminem’s “Bitch Please II” and add in a different quote from the show. Hopefully this will soon be appearing on Better In The Dark.

B Hyphen – Better In The Dark Theme 2

I hear this all the time on Better In The Dark. And Bruce Campbell is awesome.


See BITD: Episode 40.

Listening to Mickey Factz' new mixtape. WOW.

Pretty average day today. It rained.

I was walking matter of fact and I saw this car pull up real slow behind me. So I figured I knew who it was. Nope. I paused my ipod and turned around. This guy asked me where I was heading and I told him just down the street. He said okay and said something along the lines that he was going to give me a ride if I needed it. I thanked him and declined and he went down the road.

Now...I looked myself over. Cargo shorts, WVU hoodie, Jordan 14's. I didn't look like I needed help.

So this guy was actually asking if I wanted a ride out of the goodness of his heart or he had weird intentions.

For a 25 year old. lol.

I'm going with good intentions.

Then I asked myself if I would have stopped for joe schmoe on the street in the rain.

Doubtful.

Than a couple bars came in my head. Then a song title.

We'll see if it goes any further.

I put the first real posts on HHM!!!: The Blog that I'm truly proud of in awhile...http://www.hiphopmanifesto.org

Got the new Better In The Dark finally.

Caught up on all the Angry Video Game Nerd episodes I missed last night.

Messed with that Mugen program most of the night. Now I'm over it. lol.

I guess today was more eventful than I thought...

Everybody knows that Dennis Quaid is one of the favorite actors of The Guys Outta Brooklyn. Well, in honor of his birthday, Thomas and Derrick celebrate the Man With The Mile-Wide Grin! From the ultra-obscure sports comedy Tough Enough to Todd Hayes' amazing recreation of 50's melodrama, Far From Heaven, they pick their favorite Quaid films while remembering the ultra-obscure Big Show and torturing you, the audience, with more song! It's a finger-picking good time, so get to clicking!

Hard to believe, but it's been a year since The Boys Outta Brooklyn took up the microphone in an effort to school the world on the joys of cinema...and they celebrate by reading a slew of listener mail, explain Tom's literary dyslexia, recommend a load of podcasts for long commutes, and talk about the books and comics they'd make into movies if they ran their own production house. And yes...there's gratuitous mentions of Kristen Bell and Dennis Quaid as well. So put on your party hats and noise makers and join the party by clicking away!

Finally, The Boys Outta Brooklyn unveil the first part of their much-threatened Doctor Who Retrospective! In what is easily the longest episode we've ever produced, Tom and Derrick take you from the humble beginnings of what is now the longest running science fiction television show of all time to its present status as a big time, international cult hit. And along the way, hear Tom rant about what Russell T. Davies has done to one of his favorite shows, find out which companions the Boys would do, and hear more inappropriate British accents than God ever intended man to hear! It's a veritable Key to (A Good) Time, so click now!

It's that time of the Better In The Dark calender, where The Boys Outta Brooklyn review films they've seen in the last quarter. And not only do you get Tom and Derrick's view of The Mist and Cloverfield, Derrick tells you why Transformers should only be viewed while drunk, the guys talk about why time travel sucks in their discussion of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and someone has to restrain Tom before he goes foaming at the mouth over his beloved Kristen Bell's contribution to the cast of Heroes--and not in a good way. We'll only track you down from the future if you don't listen...so why don't you click away?
