The Ides Of March (Vid) | Shakespeare Tells Story Of Julius Caesar’s Assassination

Posted: 15 Mar 2010 09:42 AM PDT

Today is March 15, otherwise known as the Ides of March. It’s the date on which Julius Caesar, the greatest of the Roman emperors, was stabbed by Marcus Junius Brutus, Gaius Cassius Longinus and up to 60 other conspirators in the Roman Senate in 44 B.C.

“Beware the Ides of March” has become part of the English language thanks to William Shakespeare’s dramatization of the life of the Roman Emperor titled Julius Caesar.

An historical account of the time by Plutarch tells us that a seer tried to warn Caesar of his impending fate. Caesar joked, “Well, the Ides of March have come,” and the seer replied, “Ay, they have come, but they are not gone.” Which Shakespeare turned into “beware the Ides of March.”

The point is to be careful on this day as it’s one associated with double crossings, death, and bad fates coming to pass.

Predators Film Sneak Peek Video | First Look at Science Fiction Sequel

Posted: 15 Mar 2010 01:13 AM PDT

The world has had its first look at Predators, the latest sequel to the action-packed science fiction flick Predator. This two-minute clip debuted at the SXSW festival over the weekend, and now the rest of the globe gets to see it.

Director Nimrod Antal has teamed up with producer Robert Rodriguez for this big budget remake. There’s no Arnie here, but Adrien Brody, Laurence fishburne, and Danny Trejo provide plenty of star power.

Fans will be hoping that this remake is better than the terrible Alien vs Predator movies of recent years. It certainly looks slick, but we’ll have to wait until midyear to see whether it’s got any substance.

Fully Sick Rapper Strikes Again Music Video | Aussie in Quarantine Becomes a Germophobe

Posted: 14 Mar 2010 04:44 PM PDT

When we last saw the Fully Sick Rapper, his life in quarantine was sending him around the bend. In his latest video, the Aussie otherwise known as Christian Van Vuuren shows his mental state hasn't really improved.

After 71 days in quarantine, Christian has become a fully-fledged germaphobe. Personally, I’d think contracting tuberculosis in the first place would be enough to make one a little nervous.

But Christian’s only recently developed the phobia after realizing he's in a hospital teeming with nasties.

There’s no word yet on when Christian will be released, but hopefully it'll be before the Fully Sick Rapper loses it completely!

Eclipse Trailer Fan Reaction Video | Twilight Fanatic A Little Over-Excited At Preview Clip

Posted: 14 Mar 2010 01:27 PM PDT

Twilight fans are mad. Seriously. I’ve haven’t seen fandom like it since since the days when boybands were big, and teenage girls were following them around everywhere like tiny apprentice stalkers.

But this girl, Emma Clark (aged 23) takes the biscuit. The big Edward Cullen-shaped biscuit. And eats it sideways.

The official trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third movie in the four movie series, was released a few days ago. And this is Clark watching it for the first time (and second) and filming her reaction to the on-screen happenings.

She’s utterly bonkers, obviously. But I kind of like her at the same time. She doesn’t care who watches her act mental and he doesn’t care what people say about her. And that’s a great way to be. Good luck to the crazy bitch!
