Sorry we have been away, we have been busy constructing new and amazing things.

Spoilers

I love spoilers. I read them when I see a movie AND especially when I don't. I won't go into the details of the new Saw IV movie, but the best and most detailed spoilers are on Wiki (no surprise).



Of interesting note is the new Saw IV movie in which Tobin Bell (Jigsaw) is shown to be DEAD. There is an autopsy scene in the trailer that shows him, cough cough, out of the picture (I so funny). Reader, I am not giving away anything here, it is in the trailer, please don't scream.

The obvious question is how they are going to produce another saw movie without Jigsaw. The easy answer is a prequel or that he has trained others in the Jigsaw method - meh, too straightforward. Here is the even better answer in a movie that prides itself on twists - wait for it - Jigsaw has a twin (gasp, yes it gets better).

Not only does he have a twin, he is one of three triplets. Three little Tobin Bells.

How do I know? Someone higher up on set was shooting off their mouth and a little bird overheard it.

There I said it.

Back in Black

We're back after taking the summer off and we are preparing for our new fall lineup of shows. Sorry that the blog was also shut down but we needed the time off to recharge. Hope that our friends are still out there and haven't forgotten us. Now its time to kick out the jams muthafucka!

pogue mahone

Our punk rock compere, Steve Stumble has a new episode of his show Stumblevision ready for your bewilderment. How has a guy that drinks so much managed to stay alive all these years?
This episodes features The Mahones and The Matadors. The Fro-man also writes on passed out drunk people. Reality TV at it's worst. See the show at the Stumblevision episode page or at the bionicbuddha.com homepage.

Bionic Beans

Nearly a week after Hugh Grant allegedly assaulted a member of the paparazzi with a tub of baked beans, the incident is still being pored over by newspapers from Croatia to Karachi. It has featured prominently in the US and UK from tabloid spreads to op-ed pieces. It is even the subject of various online spoofs (including datelinehollywood.com's "Bean Farmers Burning Hugh Grant in Effigy").

“When you pick up a can of baked beans, you have a responsibility to understand the culture where it came from,” said Brazilian bean farmer Alejandro Cunha, just after he set fire to a giant “Music and Lyrics” poster. “This is worse than if he had spit in our faces. Or forced us all to watch ‘American Dreamz’ ten times in a row.”

In Brazil, the world’s leading producer of beans, a warrant has been issued for Grant’s arrest.

“Hugh Grant has offended the Brazilian people and bean farmers around the world,” said Brazil’s minister of beans Silas Costa. “We demand that the United Kingdom extradite him so that he can face justice.”

Personally I blame the beans. Just what were the "alleged beans" doing in a plastic box? Do the rich get them packaged differently? Have celebrities been quietly informed that tin is carcinogenic while the rest of us are left in ignorance lest the tomato and haricot markets collapse? If, as some reports have suggested, they were in a Tupperware container, are we to assume that Grant is either secretly poor, or cultivating a Howard Hughes-ish thrift that points to him turning gloatingly through his bank statements with filthy six-inch fingernails in a pile of his own filth?

s-faced

There's a lot going on these days with Facebook. Everyone I know has joined. I tried to avoid it as much as possible but there's no denying that it has become ubiquitous. I have to admit that it is a great tool for networking and finding people. Having said that, is it poised to become the next white and yellow pages? Who needs a phone book when you can find old friends online and chances are you will, unless they are above the age of 40, live in a cave or live in Siberia. I am starting to see bands and businesses promote there as well, creating various groups to serve their needs. I think as soon as they allow postings for music and videos, Myspace and to a lesser degree, YouTube better start taking note and have reason to be afraid. You can find Bionicbuddha's beginings at the Mindbomb group. Then again, every jackass and their mother has some form of group on facebook, I mean why not start the Emo, everyone hates me cutters group? It may already exist.

Cameron Diaz: Lookin Pa Nub...

So Camreon Diaz and Justin Timberlake ended their relationship earlier this year in January. For the number of relationships he has seen in the last few years, JT should be giving out frequent flyer points everytime he gives out his telephone number to a potential date.

Cameron Diaz fears she will be single for a long time after the split because "it's hard" finding love as a celebrity. Diaz has since been linked with a number of eligible bachelors, including surfer Kelly Slater , but she insists she needs time to get over the break up, and more time to find Mr. Right.

Diaz says, "I think it's hard out there. You don't fall in love every day, or with every person you meet. It's special. Our world is so complicated in that it does take a lot to make things work. But you can't be happy with someone else until you're happy with yourself." Thank you, Dr. Phil.

It would make it much harder not to feel sorry for Cameron, if she didn't have a scene where she dances around in her underwear in every single movie she is in.
