Saturday Morning Watchmen

So, apparently Watchmen is doing so well at the box office that they've already greenlit a Saturday morning cartoon version for the WB. Check out the opening credits sequence; I think they've got a hit!



Please don't actually think this is real; it's just another brilliant parody...

We never have to post another video again...

... because someone has already done them all!

How many have you watched?

Aw, fuck, I almost forgot ...

... what day it is today ... MASTER NINJA THEME SONG!

Simon Pegg hates fast zombies

Here's an interesting article from the Guardian from Simon Pegg on why the undead should never be allowed to run. Although it seems like a bit of fanboy wankery, he makes some salient points.

Check it out.

And Jerry Reed too...

Legendary entertainer Jerry Reed has died of complications from emphysema at the age of 71.

Now everybody sing!

"In a world ... where movie commercials suddenly fall silent ..."

Voiceover king Don LaFontaine dies at the age of 68. Man, movie trailers are gonna suck now...

If you've never seen this little bit of madness, I envy you....

"When God asks you, 'Who's the Master?', you say ... "

Julius Carry star of The Last Dragon and Brisco County Jr. dies. No word on the cause of death, but it certainly was a surprise.

Warren Ellis is my new god

If you're not following Warren Ellis on Twitter, you really need to do so right fucking now! He's a mad insane, but always entertaining, genius. Check out a recent exchange (Brian, you're gonna love this):

I know who I'm voting for.

They make it all so clear to me now....

It's here ...

It's finally here ...



God help me, I believe ...

This'll kill a few hours

TV Tropes is a web site dedicated to cataloging the various tropes and clichés present in most modern media. I lost about an hour to it today. Be warned, it's a real time sink.

I want to believe ...

I want to believe ...

Oh, God, do I want to believe ...

This is for my own reference, really.

It's The Mouse And His Child, a slightly bizarre, but beautiful, animated film based on the book of the same name. I used to watch this repeatedly when I was a kid, since it was in heavy rotation on HBO, even though it was pretty scary. Check out the Wikipedia synopsis for just a taste.

Ok, now I'm beginning to believe ...

See the preview shot right here.

Speaking of stuff that needs to be here ...

If you're like me and love bad movies, you were probably a big fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000. And if you weren't, get the fuck out my house ... :) Well, Mike Nelson is back with a similar project called Rifftrax. It's been around for a while, but I decided to try them out last night with their track for Star Wars: Episode I.

Hooo boy. It is, in a word, glorious! I can't recommend it enough. There are some terrific gags on there, and they do a great job of helping you set it up.

5 stars. Joe Bob sez, "Check it out."

Ron Jeremy in Ghostbusters??

Ron Jeremy was an extra (he has confirmed it as true). Yet another reason why this is one of the greatest movies ever made...
