Jay tweets to Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse

It's been a good couple of years since anyone in The Basement tweeted along to anything. Used to be we'd do so on a weekly basis, teasing what we'd review on our radio show/podcast. Even our mad twit Mike S would tweet along to flicks using the @camethebasement account.

Then the tweeting ended, for reasons we can't remember. But, given a recent self pledge to kick things up a notch here on the site, I figured I'd pick a flick at random -- in this case Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse -- and see if I still had it in me. The experiment occurred last night and involved many beers.

The end results are the tweets below. I stand by what I tweeted, and will hang by what I said too. Enjoy:

Any flick that opens with a janitor singing air band and licking his nipple can't be all bad #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

"D.O.D. Dod? What kind of name is Dod?" #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

One thing The Simpsons taught me is sticking your hand in a vending machine leads to all kinds of trouble #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

Old people wielding hedge clippers are a force to be reckoned with. #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

Holy crap! @DumontSarah earned her badge as hottest bad ass chick ever and all she did was bootleg beer! #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

Because of course you're going to sneak into a strip bar during a zombie apocalypse. #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

Actually, re previous tweet, I would do that if still under age. #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

And yes, the zombie bouncer would have chased after me too. #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

"I just wanted to see some titties!" Amen kid. #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

Nudity. Gore. Profanity. Seriously hot bad ass chick in @DumontSarah. Not a bad Saturday night flick. #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

"Did I just drop acid or are they signing Brittney Spears with a zombie?" #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

Dig how this flick wears its 80s horror/comedy conventions on its sleeve. Well played. #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

Zombies bouncing on a trampoline while two people make out. Seen it all. #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

Just saw a zombie wearing a Yolo shirt and a dude hold onto a zombie's dick. Really seen it all! #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

Never let the hot chick ride off alone. Just sayin'. A matter of manly principle. #ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

  Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends.  With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher.  When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up.  Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila!  Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink.  The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink.  The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices.   In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors.  The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort.  It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ".  I know I remember them.  This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present.  With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good.  It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters.  This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's.  In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking.  I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
