BA-NA-NA-NA BATMAN! BATMAN! FABULOUS!
Linkage Awaits....
- I Still Say Muppet Babies Theme By GWAR Would've Completed This Album: Thanks to NPR, you can stream The Green Album (cool music acts covering Muppet Songs) in its entirety. Bands involved include My Morning Jacket, Weezer, OK Go, Andrew Bird and others)
- Sense of Public Shame and Lack of Social Life Not Included: Lev Grossman, author of recent The Magician King, lists the top ten "must read" fantasy books. Some usual suspects in there, but a few surprises as well.
- ED-209's Musical Number, "5 Seconds to Comply," is a REVELATION: Robocop the stage show, complete with cardboard sets and costumes. That is all.
- "How Can We Get Nerdier? I Got It - Sassy Lip Synching!": Cosplayers lip synch to Pink's "Raise Your Glass" in a very nerdy, but somehow proud and inspiring and fun, display of abandon:
- "Meet Tom...His Life is Perfect" RECORD SCRATCH: Den of Geek lists the 12 most overused songs in film. One glaring omission, although it is really only in trailers - "You Make My Dreams" by Hall & Oates. That shit is everywhere and it kills me a bit inside.
- Sergeant Candy Needs his Own Movie NOW: Cracked lists 10 deleted scenes that would have ruined the movie. Oh, and watch all of the scenes, not just Sergeant Candy's, especially the "Alien crabwalk" one. Every time I'm about to call Ridley Scott a genius, a little bit of that Legend jackassery bubbles up and into his movies.
- Even At Comcast, You Gotta Make Your Own Fun: 12 DVR descriptions of shows and movies on Funny or Die that are clearly the product of boredom and/or a cry for help.
- This Show is Not How I Remembered It: Sienna Denima makes The Golden Shower Girls on YouTube where he puts in his own dialogue for an episode The Golden Girls - usually involving sexual deviant behavior, and lots of awful things.
