It’s about that time that we begin looking back at the year that was at LOST IN A SUPERMARKET. A whole year means a lot of amazingly awesome and amazingly bad crap we’ve found floating around this Great Existential Supermarket we all live in, so it’s time to get things going. We’re gonna kick off […]

Hot Toys' villain from Iron Man every nerd's daddy
The year 2008 was a great one for Robert Downey, Jr. The same year he played Tony Stark in Iron Man he also played Kirk Lazarus, the black faced “method actor” in Tropic Thunder. Both were big hits, but it was Iron Man that had legions of acne-pocked fanboys clamoring for more of the villainous […]

The best little Prog/Psych/Blues/Garage Rock band in Texas
Austin’s White Denim are a four piece honed on playing psychedelic rock with the balls and rhythm of pure, unapologetic down-to-earth Texas rock n’ roll. Named “Best Rock Band” at SXSW for the 4th consecutive year (by Gorilla Vs Bear), White Denim take influences from garage rock to twangy blues to black country and deliver […]

A behind-the-scenes look into one of 2010's best films
Although they struck out at the Oscars, Joel and Ethan Coen’s True Grit was still one of 2010’s best films. Really it’s hard to go wrong when you throw Jeff Bridges into a Coen Bros movie, you can pretty much expect a classic (even the trailer had us excited). While filming the movie, Bridges carried […]

The perfect accessory for those who bowl, drive around, or have the occasional acid flashback.
Because the Chinaman is not the issue here. I’m not sure this 3×5 potleaf, Duddha-with-a-bowling-ball throw rug will cause any throwdown issues like any rug ever did for the Dude, but if I had $245 lying around, I’d throw on my jellies and toss this puppy down right by my bong and bowling pins. There […]

Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin remake a classic
I can’t help it. I got a funny feeling this new Coen brothers True Grit is gonna be the best movie I’ve ever seen. It’s a gut thing. I don’t know if I’ve ever watched a trailer and had such a yearning to be in the dark theater, immediately, watching the movie. That’s how I […]

More light cycles and Jeff Bridges to keep the nerds at bay
I guess it’s a bit of an 80s film redux here at LIAS today. The just released trailer for Tron Legacy has promising elements, not the least of which is the great Jeff Bridges (Olivia Wild’s not to shabby, either). And of course the light cycles look amazing, but you never know until you see […]
The first look at Tron Legacy was shown last week at Comic Con, and I gotta say I’m not totally enamored by what they got so far. In the original TRON, the computer-like landscape was revolutionary, and created a world unlike any kid had ever seen…outside of an Intellivision cartridge graphic, that is. But nowadays, […]
