Insidious screenwriter Leigh Whannell has written a script about a zombie epidemic in an elementary school called “Cooties,” and he enjoys doing impressions of Rodney Dangerfield. James Wan, director of Insidious, jumped to the chance to tell my recording device that “Trojan War is one of my favorite teen romantic comedies, next to Can’t Hardly Wait.” Hold on, am I talking to a comedic duo, or the two guys who came up with the “Razor Wire Maze Trap” in the first Saw movie?
The horror duo believes that setting up a scare is just like setting up a gag, and this idea is certainly tested by the funnymen in their latest film, Insidious. Produced by Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli, the film is about a young boy in a coma whose vacant soul leads to his house and family being haunted.

Tuesday is my least favorite day of the week. Let’s heal our collective grumbles/sighs with some “historical” rap songs, as performed by Hollywood personalities you probably wouldn’t expect to drop a fresh beat. Which might explain why some of them actually don’t.
I would like to dedicate this edition of Tsr Buzz to my iPod. Without that gizmo’s shuffle feature, I may have forgotten that Brian Wilson once wrote a rap song.
With Tsr Buzz, you’ll find links to articles, videos and other random things that will help you waste your time just a little bit more. Enjoy -- even if a few of these are not purely original rap videos.
When you first listen to this song, (which a friend wisely said could be a Ween B-side,) the pitch change might appear terrifying. But after watching the video, you’ll see it only makes sense.
