Jodie Foster's "The Beaver"

Say what you want about Mel Gibson -- and you could say alot, because dude's a d-bag -- I still want to see this so very, very bad. Or badly. Whichever. And both. [video]

Gold Star: Community

Community has officially gotten good -- historically good. Like 2nd season of the Office slash every season of NewsRadio but the last one historically good. Welcome to the club, Community. You've earned it.

New Pooh

The trailer is total cheese (Keane, really?), but if you can get beyond the gaudy presentation, hopefully we can rejoice together for a new Pooh-Bear feature. Yes, yes. It's all Disney, all the time now. But A.A. Milne's brilliant creations need to be introduced to a new generation of kiddos, regardless of who's producing/distributing the thing. Thank you, 8 pounds 6 ounces, new born baby Jesus, for more Winnie-the-Pooh.

Tron

Can you believe this is actually happening? I mean, I could sit through a dozen more crappy Transformers films just to make 100% sure this hits cinemas. And that's the Dude. For reals, son.

The Hasselhoffs

Why don't they play commercials like this on Hulu? Instead, I watch the same three commercials for Toyota, Geico and Samantha Bee going on about kids or something. The internet has literally thousands of new adverts just waiting to be seen -- so many that I should never have to view the same one twice. Think variety, Hulu.

Wrastlin' Clip of the Week

All you need to know: Paul Wight and Paul Reubens -- what a team!



WWE, you kill me. I don't know why you still exist, except for surreal moments like Big Show dressed in a Pee-wee Herman suit.

One for the Books

 

This is not the team you pick to win the World Series. Not at spring training. Not at the trade deadline. Not in September. But this is the team, with great pitching, with timely hitting, who gets hot at just the right time, who ends up winning every year. McCovey Chronicles*, take it away:

So, so many things had to go right for this. Nine teams had to pass on Tim Lincecum. Twenty-nine had to pass on Aubrey Huff. Edgar Renteria had to play through a torn bicep and a strained old. Some players had to stay healthy, and other players had to get hurt to make room for the players who would lead the Giants to a World Series title.

The Giants won the World Series. The San Francisco Giants. No foolin’. It’s on Wikipedia and everything.

*If you did not listen to me back in July, and fasten this blog to your google reader, listen to me now. Most entertaining baseball blog on the interlinks. For reals.

All Hallows Eve Eve

Some great Jack O' Lantern ideas for those last minute carvers:

Scuba Steve

Sweet art by Justin Parpan for a Wes Anderson themed art show in San Francisco. Not only are they about they three games away from a World Series championship, they also have Steve Zissou just hanging out in the ocean. Blerg.

Keenan Thompson Appreciation Thread

While I recognize that I've scared off all my commenting friends with dozens of posts written like a 14-year-old girl on topics you could care less about, I would be remiss if I did not point out how brilliant Keenan Thompson has become. Srsly. This guy is GOLD! Leave your warm and appreciative comments for Keenan below. Thnx.

I work there! Well, not THERE, but an approximation of there.

Tracy Jordan does a commerical for my place of workship. At least in the alternate universe of 30 Rock he does. I want to go to there.

Old Posts

I've started more than a dozen blog posts over the past three weeks without finishing them. As I am sick and bedridden for the foreseeable future (I never plan ahead more than 24 hours), I will attempt to turn a few of them into actual, living blog posts. This might get confusing, timeline-wise, in the old google reader, but I think we'll manage to manage.
