Caprica »

How the frak did the Sci Fi Channel announce a spinoff prequel series to Battlestar Galactica a month ago without me finding out about it until today?
From Sci Fi:
Caprica would take place more than half a century before the events that play out in Battlestar Galactica. The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace […]

The Original Star Wars Movies to be Released on DVD »

There’s a lot I don’t mind about the Star Wars Special Edition movies, but some of the changes bugged the hell out me. Everybody knows that Han shot first, not Greedo. What kind of crappy-ass bounty hunter is Greedo anyway that he can’t hit Han from three feet away? Come on, people.
Anyway, there’s good […]

J.J. Abrams Keeps on Trekkin’ »

I was a little surprised to learn that Paramount was undertaking another Star Trek movie so soon after the failures of both the movie Star Trek: Nemesis, and the UPN venture Star Trek: Enterprise. Another surprise was seeing that J.J. Abrams was helming the next movie (I’m all for this, as long as it’s up […]

Like a Soap Opera…at Night »

I was at the barbershop this morning, getting about 5 lbs. of hair cut off, when one of Moses’ childhood friends shuffled in. While I was sitting there with my eyes closed as the barber trimmed my bangs, I heard the old man ask his barber, “You ever watch that crazy show? That show’s crazy.”
I […]

Thank You, Robot Chicken — Bawk Bawk! »

Some of the best ultra-low-budget stop-animation on Tee-Vee is now available in DVD form. That’s right, Robot Chicken is on DVD!
(By the way, when I did a search on Amazon.com for the link to the DVDs, the results didn’t list them. For some reason, I had typed in “Robert Chicken”.)
Here’s one of the tamer […]

Superheroes on the Toilet »

If I say “Superman”, you’ll think “crap tonight”.
Superheroes on the Toilet. It’s not what it sounds like…except it’s exactly what it sounds like.

The Best Commercial for a Gym Ever »

Of course, it wouldn’t be from our country because we’re too busy being prudish and all. And now, we return to our regular commercials of animated bears who really really really enjoy shitting in the woods. NOTE: It seems WordPress 2.0 has some sort of weird bug that inserts a stray paragraph tag into the Quicktime code, […]

Microsoft iPod Parody »

It’s good to know that they know they have problems. And they score high points for doing a great job of poking fun at themselves.
From The iPod Observer:
Microsoft spokesman Tom Pilla on Tuesday confirmed with iPod Observer that his company initiated the creation of the iPod packaging parody video that was first reported last month. […]

Woo-hoo! The Simpsons Set for Two More Seasons »

It’s official! The Simpsons will be around for at least another two years.
From CNN:
LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) — Fox is loading up on animated comedies “The Simpsons” and “King of the Hill.”
The network has ordered two more seasons of “The Simpsons,” its 18th and 19th, and one more of “King of the Hill,” […]

Ideas for Paintings by Jack Handey »

One of the wisest sages of our time (no, not Yoda) offers struggling artists (and ar-teests, I suppose) free money! He’s just giving it away in the form of ideas of what to paint so you can stop being a struggling artist. And it’s all free!
Because I love art, I am offering the following […]
