It's amazing.
And people think kids see too much violence now.

Monty Python... in Lego form.

Peter Jackson has announced that Jack Black will be starring in his version of King Kong.
No, not as the gorilla.

I adopted a lil' Superman fetus
from Fetusmart! Hooray fetus!

Also, I'd like to thank Tara and Edward for being the only two people I know of from this site to try to keep Home Movies on the air.
Edward's comments were especially well delivered.

Please go here and help save Home Movies.
Some things are worth fighting for.. and The Wizard's Baker is one of them.

For those of you that are interested in hearing other people discuss Dawn of the Dead (and I'm sure there are a few of you out there), why not have a look at The Cinemarati Roundtable?

Comcast has bought cable network, TechTV for $300 million.
Comcast plans on merging it with it's video game channel, G4.
I enjoy both channels, so I'm not particularly happy to hear this as it means there'll be less video game stuff on G4, and less... tech on television in general.

Tell him that he set you up.

I'm honestly not trying to say anything, I just thought this was funny looking.

You're Ulysses!
by James Joyce
Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared
to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do
understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once
brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in
the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you
additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.

VAN HALEN have finally made an announcement.. a vague announcement, but an announcement nonetheless.

You can check out 4 songs from the new Ben Kweller CD "On My Way" right here.
You can then buy the disc at the record store of your choice on April 6.

The official site for BATMAN BEGINS is now online.
There's nothing there yet, except for the new logo/emblem, but it does look pretty right on.

Speaking of superhero movies, rumor has it that Jake Gyllenhaal is Kevin Smith's first choice to play The Green Hornet.

Quite a bit of news on Sin City.

"Show of hands: who here misses the days of extended guitar solos, striped leotards, falsetto vocals and songs demanding, 'Get your hands off my woman'? Yeah, me too. THE DARKNESS is here to put that hickey back on your neck, fire up the Camaro and party down at the nearest parking lot like it's 1979. Is the band for real? Yes. Does it rock? Yes. Is it hard to get around the multiple-octave range that Justin Hawkins is ripping in every song? Well, a little, but the band is gaining speed here in the States after selling more than a million copies of 'Permission to Land' (Atlantic) in its native Britain. I'll take THE DARKNESS over those whiny emo bands any day. At least they're getting chicks." - Dave MF'ing Grohl

This is a zombie I drew the other night after seeing Dawn of the Dead.

Dawn of the Dead was really good.
That's my review.
Go see it.
That's my recommendation.

The world is pretty ridiculous these days in general.
Fountains of Wayne are involved in a bit of this ridiculosity.
For those of you who care, the song in question is one of my favorite FoW songs ever.

Also for those of you who are interested, MAUXFAUX (the band I'm in) has finished recording our first EP and are in the process of mixing it to a state of finished, face-melting rock excellence.
We should be done by the end of next week at the latest.
Exciting, yeh?
For those of you who have heard rough mixes of the tracks, I apologize, because they don't begin to do the finished versions justice.
Go ahead and remove your socks, because they're about to get rocked.
Look for "The Collapse EP" in the record collections of people with good taste very soon.

I think I may start reviewing things on here again.
Just an idea.
How was your St. Patrick's Day?

Listen to the new Ima Robot single, Alive.
It's pretty good.

Or go here and listen to the entire new disc "Winning Days" from The Vines.

Rivers Cuomo and Matt Sharp have patched things up and are friends again.
Good to hear.

I'm begging you to go watch this.
Seriously.

I can't believe I hadn't seen this before, but apparently, Aqua Teen Hunger Force have plans that involve Van Halen.
That's right.
Just watch.
They also have plans to blow up the sun.
The bullet is amazing in it's capacity to instill fear into your puny Earth minds.

News already on the DVD of the new remake of Dawn of the Dead.

Did you know in 1979 there was a movie called "Weasels Rip My Flesh"?
Well, there was.. and now it's out on DVD.
I bet if 10 copies of it are sold Hollywood will start planning the remake.

I'm not even going to bother trying to explain it to you, just go check it out: Flying Shark vs Flying Crocodile.
Thank you, Adult Swim.

Volume 5 of MST3K DVD collections was released Tuesday for those of you who aren't so good at keeping up with such things.
Go out and buy yourself a copy.
Then, why not enjoy a short interview with MST3K's own Mike Nelson.


:: how jedi are you? ::

Why don't you just do yourself a favor and let Brendon Small teach you the alphabet?

Then let Coach McGuirk teach you a thing or two about Scottish Highland dancing.

It's very educational here today.

This is a little high-tech monster guy that I drew last night.

Gets better by the day.
Filming started Tuesday.

Feel free to watch the new trailer for Hellboy.

Sean Astin (you know.. "Sam" in The Lord of the Rings) is apparently very interested in directing the big screen adaptation of The Fantastic Four. He's also claimed that if he gets the job, Orlando Bloom will play Johnny Storm (aka The Human Torch).

Seinfeld fans can take comfort in the knowldege that all the differences between the show's stars have been settled and that all four will be taking part in the creation of bonus features for the upcoming DVDs.

It's pretty decent. I like "Who's Gonna Save Us?" especially.

Get a load of the Gameboy Time Machine.

Bobby's World joins the ever-expanding list of old, but not that old, cartoons that are making their way to DVD.

TeenGirlSquad 5.
Now you too can watch it. Wow!

I'm listening to Ann Beretta a band for which a band I was in opened. So yeah... oh crap.. I think I left something in the oven.

Like Magic the Gathering?
Yeah, I don't either.
But do you like Monty Python?
I thought you might.
This is pretty funny.

How'd you like a free copy of Futurama: Volume 3?
Here's your chance.


It's a webcomic.
It's not always terribly funny, but it does have it's moments.
I like it more for the look of it.. oh, and of course the wonderful colors.
It has colors.


You are the Black Knight. You are exceedingly brave
and have great strength, but your foolishness
leads to the loss of both your arms and your
legs in battle.
Which Monty Python's Quest For the Holy Grail character are you?
