The Mighty Boosh: Not About Quantity (Adult Swim) 2:30am I watch this episode, get to this clip, and laugh like an idiot at the criticism bit halfway through.
Incidentally, this Boosh clip almost exactly mirrors me and Mike in college, where I am Howard and Mike is Vince.
"The Transformers" Complete First Season: How Did a Show This Bad Launch a Franchise? (Toon Zone) A review of the Transformers Season One boxed set brings out the serious snark. It's nice to read an assessment that isn't completely lost in rose-colored hindsight.
Hot Air (Michael Barrier) Speaking of that, here's a review of Disney/Pixar's Up that is decidedly non-complimentary! I didn't think Americans were allowed to be non-affectionate towards Pixar films! Man, we really did vote for change last election.
AT&T investing millions in gaming projects (Joystiq) Joystiq with a funny list of games that AT&T seems to have already made available, like "Imagine: Tethering" and "Professor Grant and the $30 monthly texting fee."
PETA wishes Obama hadn't swatted that fly (Yahoo News) And nonsense like this washes away any viable public support for the actual good things PETA does.
Exclusive: The Future of Facebook Usernames (Anil Dash) Great timeline of a fictional internet shitstorm surrounding the debut of Facebook's vanity URLs. (Yes, I grabbed one. http://www.facebook.com/fourhman)
Batman and Robin #1 - "Batman Reborn Part 1: Domino Effect" (Funnybook Babylon) Annotations for the new Dick and Damian book. I do enjoy a good annotations writeup.
TLC: Jon & Kate announcing a major decision Monday (Yahoo News) I predict they're pulling out of the show. I hope they're stopping the show, at any rate. Those kids need normalcy. Leading rumors say divorce, though.
Going Up (Mice Age) Ha! That internet guy who dresses like Peter Pan as spotted at DisneyWorld. In purple. |
