Epic Drop 7/03/09: New Babes! Terrorism fears, McDonalds Angus, NBA moves, Myspace suicide, Movie Trailers

The Epic Drop is back to wrap up the first week of July and what does that mean?  Well it means the "Fox Friday" vote is over and unfortunately our smack talking actress has been dethroned!  Don't worry, she will make appearances from time to time but for now we are going month to month with a new Friday girl.  +1 for more new cleavage and a bunch of trailers.


This flick looks pretty good, kind of a "Sarah Marshall" with couples.  More Kristen Bell is never a bad thing.  Couples Retreat.

Us Americans are facing a 5-year low when it comes to worrying about terrorism.  While I am all for constant vigilance, some crap going on here at from the recession to the shoddy government stimulus and the continued rising unemployment seems to have us a bit distracted.  I'd like to think the policies and measures taken since 9/11 will keep us safe but I am not naive enough to think they are fail-proof. 

Make sure you catch the Digg Dialogue (zomg digg content!) featuring Bruno.  Any chance to catch Bruno in character usually provides some solid laughs.  ROFL at the 5th Avenue line near the end.

McDonalds is ready to play catch up with Burger King as they launched their own angus burger this week guaranteed to fatten up you just like an angus cow.  Not going to lie, that mushroom swiss looks pretty good but I don't really feel like swimming all that off.

The NBA free agent market is bustling right along.  Ron Artest went to L.A. pretty much swapping with Trevor Ariza who from L.A. to Houston.  If Artest keeps from throwing down with fans L.A. should be the favorites to win it again.  The Pistons picked up Charlie Villanueva (lol) and my under-sized, no-defense playing pal Ben Gordon from the Bulls.  Enjoy those big contracts, 2010 free agent class is all I care about.  Bosh or Wade to Chicago.

Lori Drew who was convicted in the Myspace suicide case has had her conviction tentatively overturned.  I am a bit torn on this one still.  I don't like the laws they convicted her under as it basically means if you sign up at any site and don't use your real info you could be prosecuted for misdemeanors.  However this lady clearly did something wrong but there is little to convict her on.  Hopefully they do go back to the conspiracy charges.

I am pretty stoked today after picking up tickets to see an "Evening With Kevin Smith" live in Ann Arbor, MI.  Easily my favorite director and one of the few "Hollywood types" I give a damn about.  Smith rarely fails to entertain so this should be a blast.  I believe this is the first time he has come to Michigan so I definitely can't miss out. 

A few more trailers for you guys to check out.  First up is "The Informant" featuring Matt Damon, trailer here.  Damon playing a quirky off-beat role, gotta be better than the Brothers Grimm .  Next up is "Deadgirl", and be warned this one is a bit out there.  A zombie girl locked up and used for well... you will see. 


Oh what I have given to land one of these DVDs from my 9th grade english teacher... =/
