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.
"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.
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.
