Click On This: February 1st Edition
Feb 1, 2013

Welcome to this February 1st 2013 Edition of Click On This, in which we ruminate on getting older and talk about the big event happening this weekend!

As card carrying geeks and nerds, we all get a little introspective at times.  Some of us Clicksters are Potterheads, some are Bronies, most can tell you the many difference between the Stars (both Wars and Trek) and all of us are supposedly grown-up.  Right?  Over at The Marysue, Becky Chambers offers some thoughts on why some of us seem to refuse to let our tastes “grow up” like the rest of the world.

For those looking to hang onto that childhood link, Bow Peeps offers some awesome hair accessories like this epic Wolverine inspired bow.

A bow that’s the best there is at what it does… and what it does is accentuate your new doo!

In gearing up for this weekend’s big event, we offer this teaser of the new Iron Man 3 trailer set to premier during some boring sports thing.

While Iron Man 3 may be one of the more highly anticipated super hero films, back in the late 90s, the world and burgeoning internet fan base was on pins and needles waiting for Super Man Lives.  By now, most know the film never made it to the screen.  Though most of the actual facts exist only as whispers and legends, one person aims to shed a little light with a kickstarter campaign to produce a documentary collecting all known information of the failed production.

Ever wonder what superheroes do with their pets?  Artist Phil Jones offers his thoughts.

We had him pegged for a Dog person…

For those who prefer more interaction with their superheroes, Game Informer has new info on the upcoming Lego Marvel Super Heroes Game.

Is that a mashup of two wonderful things in Sesame Street and Downton Abbey?!?!?  Yes.  Yes it is.

As if we didn’t love Jennifer Lawrence enough, her recent stopover at Jimmy Kimmel Live proved she’s entertaining even when sick and slightly drunk.  We forgive her the slightly drunk; it IS Kimmel after all.

Finally, for this week’s moment of Zen we offer Hamlet the pig and his quest for oatmeal.

Happy weekend!

Click on This! – August 31, 2012 Edition
Aug 31, 2012

It’s Friday again.  Time for a new Click on This!  In this week’s episode ooh and ahh to a talented pup, laugh with mom bloggers who get a taste of what it’s like to be a Disney voice, and thrill to the newest craze, the Zombie Run.

Last week Click took select Mom Bloggers for a special day at Disney, where they got a first hand look at what it takes to create the memorable voices for animated classics.

Speaking of Disney, if you ever wanted to dress like a Disney character in your daily life, but a bit more subtle, have we got the blog for you!

With all the attention Zombie Walks around the country have been getting, it was only a matter of tie, before the craze had it’s own evolution.

There’s something both adorable and bizarre about a pooch that barks the Game of thrones intro.

Never let it be said that the Click staff isn’t talented.  Click’s own Scott Neumyer is profiled on the Muck Rack.  And is the new Wired Geek Mom contributor also Click’s Dinah McLean?  Watch out interwebs, we’re everywhere!

We’ll leave you with this adorable moment of snuggly Zen.  Have a safe and happy Holiday weekend!

A Fireside Chat with Scott Neumyer
Sep 7, 2010

We’d now like to take a moment with one of Click Communications’ excellent staffers, Scott Neumyer, to learn a little more about where he came from and how he gets by in the world of Click.  It will soon be getting chilly on the east coast where Scott resides, and the best way to fight the cold is in front of a nice roaring fire.  Let us begin.

What is your favorite thing about working at Click? My bosses and co-workers! It may sound trite, but it’s true as can be. The people I work alongside with not only help me be a better Publicist, but they also make my job fun, exciting, and insanely rewarding. Plus, we get to work with awesome movies, clients, and press!

What skill has been most valuable to you while working here at Click? Passion. It’s all about the passion. I’ve always been the kind of person who can’t help but spread the word about the things I love; whether it’s movies, books, technology, or anything else. If I dig something, you’ll be the first to know it. That kind of passion has been invaluable to me as a publicist and makes me care more and more for every single project we work on at Click.

What would you consider to be your area of specialty? Technology is definitely my area of specialty. I’m all about finding ways to use technology to help us all do our jobs more efficiently and successfully. If you’re talking about a specialty movies-wise, it would definitely be the horror genre. I’m a horror geek through and through.

For fun, I’d say writing and photography. If you know me, you know I always have either a laptop or a camera in my hand. All of my friends are used to having my camera lens in their face at all times.

What is the best part of your workday? That very first email-check in the morning. It’s like opening your presents on Christmas morning.

Which work event has been the most fun for you to be involved in? Our annual Click Anniversary parties are always the highlight of the year. Though I’m always here in New Jersey, I hop into the party “via satellite” (i.e. iChat) and it’s great to see the entire Click crew assembled together in one spot.

What is the best advice you have ever received? Two things: 1) Don’t provide excuses. Just get it done. 2) Never argue with a fool because you’ll never win. They all argue purely with opinion.

What are some of your favorite movies? How long do we have? Some of my all-time favorites are: The Silence of the Lambs, Brazil, Monster Squad, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Il Conformista, Magnolia, Once Were Warriors, Night of the Living Dead, The Descent, Undertow, and so many more. Keep in mind that this list changes just about every single time I’m asked this question.

Hannibal Lecter's Gaze from The Silence of the Lambs

If I looked in your DVR/BD player, what would I find? Right at this moment? Mostly stuff that my 20-month-old daughter is watching (The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, which features a star turn by the great Mandy Patinkin as the evil Huxley). Usually? The Netflix Instant Watch disc. More recently, you could find the following in there: Survival of the Dead Blu-ray, Hot Tub Time Machine Blu-ray, Bigger Than Life: Criterion Blu-ray, The Brothers Bloom Blu-ray, and Sisters: Criterion DVD.

What book are you currently reading and what else might I find on your shelves? I’m currently reading two things: 1) The book that I’m actually in called Wanted Undead or Alive: Vampire Hunters and Other Kick-Ass Enemies of Evil by Jonathan Mayberry and Janice Gable Bashman. 2) What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami because it’s about both running and writing, which I dig. Other recent titles on my Kindle that I’ve read include: Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter by Tom Bissell, How Did You Get This Number by Sloane Crosley, Freak Magnet by Andrew Auseon, and The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake: A Novel by Aimee Bender.

Where in the world is your favorite place to travel or spend a dream vacation? Stone Harbor, NJ. Yup, the Jersey Shore. No, not that horrendous one that you see on MTV every week. This is the real Jersey Shore. It’s a quiet, sleepy town near the southern tip of New Jersey and it’s the most amazingly tranquil place ever. It’s my favorite place in the world. Our family spends a week there every summer. I proposed to my wife on the beach there, and we spent our honeymoon there. Stone Harbor is my little slice of Heaven.

Obligatory super power question: What would it be and why? Sookie Stackhouse style telepathy! I want to know what everyone is thinking at all times!
