Fast & Furious Teaser Movie Poster and Trailers

New Model. Original Parts.

Back in 2001 The Blot was obsessed with The Fast and the Furious. Between the fast cars and the hot women what was there not to love? I could have watched that movie 24/7. It had a great cast, which included the next big action star (Vin Diesel) and Varsity Blues’ other quarterback (Paul Walker) as well as relative unknowns Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster, along with a decent storyline and awesome special effects. But, I credit a lot of the film’s success to director Rob Cohen’s vision rather than to the film’s stellar cast. It’s unfortunate then that while Fast & Furious reunites the franchise’s original cast, Cohen is absent from the director’s chair.

Instead, Fast & Furious is being directed by Justin Lin, who also directed Tokyo Drift, the third movie in The Fast and the Furious franchise. The problem is, I don’t even consider Tokyo Drift a legit The Fast and the Furious installment since it featured an all new cast, setting and storyline. While the film’s sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious, wasn’t amazing, it at least starred Paul Walker and continued the storyline from the original movie.

I have no idea what to expect from Fast & Furious, but I am glad to see the fourth installment of the franchise return to its roots and feature some characters I’m actually interested in. Where has Diesel’s Dominic Toretto been hiding for the past 8 years anyway? It really is a shame Diesel wasn’t able to continue to crank out quality action movies (XXX) and instead went the sci-fi route. This was supposed to be his decade, wasn’t it?

How I Met Your Mother





If you loved last night’s episode as much as The Blot did then you’ve got to check out How I Met Your Mother’s two new "unofficial" websites, Barney’sVideoResume.com and the website of the mysterious Dr. X. If you head over to Barney’sVideoResume.com you can relive the awesomeness that is Barney’s video resume (and even download it if you so please). If you go to the Dr. X website, you can listen to some pretty funny/lame audio clips from Ted’s brief stint as a college radio DJ back in the day.

Also, I know ever since last week’s episode “Three Days of Snow” debuted everyone has been dying to play Top 25 Party Schools Bingo, and now you can! Below is the official Barney Stinson Top 25 Party Schools Bingo card. Now all you need to do is follow this one simple rule: Sleep with a collegiate hottie then mark her school on the board. Bingo equals five in a row in any direction – up, down, across, upside down, missionary, etc. Enjoy!
