WTF WAS IN THAT CUP TEA ?!? or 土岐麻子「ロマンチック」


Watch this, you'll be asking yourself the same question... Or maybe you'll ask yourself why she drank the tea anyway, when she saw MIME in it !?! And what's with the horrible CGI !?!



Mr. Spriggs....



I know you hungry now... I also know this song is stuck in your head.. "falls off the bone".. This reminds of that episode of the Office where they were making the commercial and Darryl made a really good slow jam jiggle and Michael sat there and said..... "I expected this to be a rap." Hilarious.

WHAT DO THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE KIDS SHOWS, SMOKE ?


You know....It's weird but I've never thought about this topic before. If Japanese adult shows are weird, how freaking nuts are the kids shows ? I mean on our own we've had everything from a giant 8 foot canary to a woolly mammoth without ears that talks like a weed head to a purple dinosaur with a "magic bag" to a giant Polly wog that can only say his own name. I could go on and on with the absurdity that is children's TV in the states but I'd rather focus a little bit more on what the Japanese have to offer.

Actually first I'd like to mention two more American shows, that weird arsed show with the finger/hand puppets. I don't know the name of it, but if you watch with the sound off you won't sleep for days.



And secondly Hip Hop Harry.... WTF ! This is what really killed Hip Hop:



Okay and now the Japanese stuff. I really wish I was fluent right now, so far al I've picked out is the number 1 and maybe the word raddish. Those kids are so cute but wow.. this is all just a lot to take in.


Yeah after all this, I don't know If I'm going to let my kids watch TV. What the frazzle sticks are they learning ? Let's squirt glue in our mouths ! Then let's dance to horrible music, then let's go stare at the baby in the sun ! Now let's go find an oversized animal to play with ! OMG THIS IS SO MUCH FUN ! I'M NOT LEARNING ANYTHING AT ALL ! ... Yeah, NO. My kids are reading the dictionary.

LOST SEASON 6 THEORY: WHEN THANGS COLLIDE


If you are not watch LOST Season 6 or didn't see last nights episode entitled, "Lighthouse" TURN BACK NOW.. ARRRGGGG !

Last night, I think we saw evidence that the universes will combine and converge. They aren't going to kill off Jack's son in universe LA _X any more than they are going to kill off Arron at age 3 or Jin and Sun's child, who are both still alive off island in the original universe. They aren't going to pick one in favor of another, but rather merge convenient traits from each of them as a part of the whole "the universe has a way of course correcting" rule.

This way EVERYONE that died will still be alive and thus were not wasted sacrifices to the island, in fact to make up for putting them in the middle of this they are being rewarded with better, more fulfilling lives, and many people will get to continue on as if they had not got pulled into this game of sorts by Jacob and M.I.L. (.....I know about Rose but I'm willing to bet she merges with island original Rose and has her cancer cured.)

This concludes this THEORY, but If you'd like my other thoughts feel free to continue reading:

We have no solid proof that Smokey is/was Christian Sheppard. A more palatable thought is that Christian Sheppard has been claimed just like Claire, which is why his body disappeared. He likely did like Claire and got up and walked away and then was given a mission to lead Jack to the caves.

I also think being claimed, as Sayid is and Claire is, is much deeper than just being able to be manipulated. Claire is barely the same kind of person. She killed that guy without a second thought. Yes she heard him say he'd snap her neck..but the old claire would have at least felt remorse or shown hesitation. One could argue that having to survive has made her a killer, but I think the inner darkness helped... and if that's what happening Sayid, it's going to get messy. Remove his remorse and he's a machine.


One thing worth noting that I noticed is that Jack was shown by Jacob the same exact thing that Man In Locke showed Sawyer, except the atmospheres were different and seem to be following a theme.

Jacob showed Jack, in a LIGHT house and M.I.L. showed Sawyer in a DARK cave. Each wanted to show Sawyer and Jack that they were special, each was very vague and in-direct. Neither one of them seems particularly good or bad, so I wouldn't worry about who's following who at this point. Yes M.I.L. lied to Claire and Sawyer, but Jacob lied to Hurley and before that Ben. I think all the goings on are a part of a mutual rivalry and not the great war. I believe the war is between other entities, not M.I.L. and Jacob.



Not Even Half way Through Review: Justice League Crisis on Two Earths


I started watching Justice League Crisis on Two Earths last night and so far it's pretty awesome. I was up later than I needed to be last night, so I stopped half way through. I just had two complaints and one question.

Complaint Number One








Super Woman's voice sucks
.... Ok maybe it doesn't suck, but it doesn't seem to fit. I don't know, when I see that character I expect a sassier personality and instead I feel like we're getting butch tramp.


Complaint Number Two









Billy Baldwin actually sucks as Batman.
I'm don't think there was an audition. I think someone just offered him the job without hearing how he'd do it because despite sounding fine in the previews, hearing him play Batman for more than a few seconds is painful. If they don't want to use Kevin Conroy that's fine, but use someone that sounds like they are actually trying. I understand he may be trying to play a foil to Owl-man, who's being portrayed excellently by James Woods, but it's not working.

Question:
How are there two Lex Luthors and one of everyone else ? It seems everyone else in these universes are totally different but similar people, except for Lex, who appears to be eaxctly the same person, just good instead of evil. Owl Man's name in his universe isn't Bruce Wayne, It's Thomas Wayne, and yet he's Btaman's evil conterpart. I did get to the part where there's the buff evil Jimmy Olson, and that confuses things even more. Bah so what's the deal ?

Still. I'm not done with the movie yet so these issues could all be adressed.... so don't take anything I'm saying seriously.

Well Edited, But Hillariously bad KANYE WEST -Coldest Winter Music Video




Yeah.. Not much to say about this.. I laughed really hard at the parts that aren't supposed to be funny. That's a really bad sign. But as someone who does editing, I'm really impressed with whomever edited this thing, the transitions are quality. The cinematography is also very well done. I promise despite this, you will laugh out loud at most of this video. I still love the song though, YEEZY is a GENIUS.

What Do beatboxing, the flute and Super Mario Have in Common ?

Answer, This video:



DOPE !

MICROWAVING.....AN AIRBAG & SPRAY PAINT

It's a slow news day and a busy work day, so you know what that means ! Microwaving random shizzzzz or rather watching other people do it, because I actually value my life. I haven't posted these video's in a while, so it's all good. I really wanted to post that flying My Little Pony thing but I was beaten to it by several other sites. Out of bitterness I will not direct you to locations where you can find it. Watch idiots microwave paint instead.




What I'm Buying: Justice League Crisis on Two Earths



I guess Netflix has won this battle.

A month ago I ranted when Netflix signed that deal with Warner Brothers that it had to wait 30 days after each DVD release before they could offer it for rent. I was fuming and pissed and said that as a form of revolt I would do as they intended and just wait the 30 days. The idea behind the 30 day wait period is to play a game of chicken with the consumer and hope that they will break down and buy it instead of waiting almost a month before being able to rent the property.

At the time I stood strong in my resolve, but now that Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is out, I don't think I can take it any more. It's getting killer reviews and it has a lot of quality extra's. To sweeten the deal, the double disc version of the movie is dirt cheap. 12.99 at Amazon and the blu-ray is 19.99. I was originally going to save the cash and get the standard DVD, until I saw the Blu-Ray exclusives in the feature list:

DC Showcase: The Spectre
"The New World" extended cut
"A First Look at the Next DC Universe Movie"
Green Lantern First Look
Superman/Batman Public Enemies First Look
Wonder Woman: The Amazon Princess
Trailers
Bruce Timm’s Top Picks; "A Better World" Parts 1 and 2, "Twilight" Parts 1 and 2
DC TV pilot episodes (live-action): Wonder Woman (previously on Wonder Woman S1 release), Aquaman (never before released)

See that golden yellow highlight ? THATS why I'm buying the Blu-Ray. It comes with the freaking Aquaman pilot that everyone made fun of when it was released on itunes for free and is no longer available. I've been trying to get my hands on that thing for years ! I missed the wave when it came out, but I hear is awful, but so awful it's good and that's my kind of awful ! So despite my stance, I have to hand it to Warner Brothers, They got me this time. Anyone else who still mad about teh netflix thing feel free to stick it to DC by purchasing Planet Hulk which I saw and rented from Netflix, it's really really good. I'm considering buying that too but I can't be a maron twice in the same month, it's a rule I kind of made up.


UPDATE: I just got back from BEST BUY, the blu-ray came with an Owl Man Figure ! WOOT!

Good Morning with REALLY WEIRD Star Wars Tuna Commercial



Of course Japan would think that Star Wars and tuna work well together ! It makes TOTAL SENSE and isn't the least bit weird. People that love sci-fi epics love tuna. DUH! Scientific research not even needed for that one. This commercial is effed up. Good MORNING!

BAYWATCH NIGHTS: The HOFF COMES OUT AT NIGHT


There are a lot of shows I wish I paid attention to when I was younger.... Baywatch is not one of them, but the second season is Baywatch Nights is. Apparently it started off as a detective show spin off of the original Baywatch. There's an episode where Mitch HAD to dress in drag, but I feel like he joined the detective squad as an excuse, you be the judge:



Hasslehoff in drag secured the show a second season, but just barely.. so the writers decided to turn it into a Sci-Fi series in the second season to boost ratings. The results were amazing, but the lack luster first season , despite the casting of blues superstar Lou Rawls and did I mention Hasselehoff in drag ?, set the show up for a fall and it was canceled at the end of season two. Sad.

I know it’s redundant, but I feel like you need to also see the synopsis someone wrote on wikipedia for the show:

Synopsis
The original premise of the show was that, during a midlife crisis, Sgt. Garner Ellerbee, who was the resident police officer of Baywatch since the beginning of the series, decides to quit his job as a police officer and form a detective agency. Mitch Buchannon, his friend from Baywatch, joins to support him and they are in turn joined by a detective named Ryan McBride. Singer Lou Rawls, who starred in the first season, performed the series theme song, "After the Sun Goes Down".

During Season 2, facing slipping ratings which were never as good as the original series, the producers decided to switch to a science fiction format (inspired by the success of The X-Files). Garner Ellerbee left the series and was replaced by Diamont Teague, a paranormal expert. The new format did not help the series and it was promptly canceled after the second season. The character Donna Marko, played by Donna D'Errico (regular cast member for season 2 only) was carried over to the original Baywatch series afterward.

So my only question is this, With Baywatch Nights being canon enough to have one character jump ship to the main show upon it's demise, When the heck did Mitch sleep ? And don’t you think he’d talk about all the zombies, ghosts, and other worm infested bat dookie insane crap he fought at night while working during the day ? NOPE, he just about the weather and routes to work like everyone else, it’s just kinda weird. But rather than behaving as if Baywatch Nights is supposed to be taken seriously, I’ll just reflect on the awesomeness that should have been, by watching the creepy opening trailer of the second season... AND YOUR GOING TO JOIN ME... MWAHAHAHAHAHA!


SHOCKING FACT ABOUT HEROES.... IT OWNS THE INTERNET !


FROM io9:

"People Still Want To Watch It, Even If They're Not Necessarily Watching It On NBC
There's definitely still an audience for Heroes, even if it appears to be in ratings freefall in its original home: It's the most illegally downloaded show online, has a strong international following and, in terms of DVD sales, it outperforms other similar shows. The problem may not necessarily be the show itself, but the way that it's presented on NBC."


It's the MOST illegally downloaded show on the internet !?! Do you know how big the internet is ? Not just domestically... THE ENTIRE INTERNET ! For all the crap this show gets and all the free ways to watch it online, people like it so much that they go out of their way to illegally download it in droves ? Huh ? I don't get it ! Everyone I know HATES this show, even the people that convinced me to start watching it! Why is it so successful in every area except broadcast ?

I'm in the minority when I admit that I still like HEROES....and perhaps thats just it, maybe people are just afraid to admit they still like it, kind of like a drug addict hiding his/her dirty secret. It's also interesting that the show does major numbers, internationally and as I previously stated in another post, HEROES still sells a lot of DVD's... But yeah that's all I had, you can go now... just wanted fuel anyone's guns who goes into a war with a HEROES HATER.. You acn shut them up instantly by saying, "it owns the friggin internet black market !"

Go read the i09 article.. there's even more fighting points !

SEASON 1 OF LOST REALLY DID KNOW WHAT WAS COMING IN SESASON 6 ?!?

If your not watching LOST, SEASON 6, TURN AWAY NOW ! The LOST promo down there is 100% fake, it's actually a scene from Season 1, episode 10, "Raised By Another", But with everything that's happening in season 6 it's eerily relevant. There could be major hints in this scene.

Everything from Locke having both colored stones in his eyes.

To Claire's Egyptian necklace.

To Locke being the one to deliver this message.

I don't have the time, but I really want to go back and rewatch season 1 while watching season 6 to see if I can develop any new theories. Instead I'm going to look up the Lostpedia page, and then do a study on all the dream sequences involving Locke. There's a theory that Locke has been the Smoke Monster longer than we know and while I don't subscribe to that, I do subscribe to the idea that possible Smokey used Locke's form to deliver messages for one reason or another... what do you think ?

Spider-Man Rubber Suit in 2 Flavors... Red & Black...





Bet you didn't know there were two of these ! Or even one. And I'm sure you are wondering why this exists. As am I. I'm also sure your wondering why you can't stop looking, and at times wondering what this would be like if the guy wasn't wearing a Spider-Man rubber suit... Oh. Am I alone in that ? Well excuse the frell outa me ! - Have a good weekend MF faithful !

Hot Tub Time Machine.... Where They Do That At ?



Because I support anything with time travel and Darryl from the Office in it. And I mean anything! I saw Dragon Wars, in the theater. I was literally the only person there and I was alright with that because I'm confident...... Anyway the movie is about dudes who go in a hot tub in 2010 and get out in the 1980's. That's it. Now go have fun. "Gheri curls !"

EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA IN UNDER 3 MINUTES



Remember Bangs? I made fun of him a long time ago for making some of the worst rap music video's I've ever seen in my life. Truth is though, it's not all his fault. He essentially paid attention to the thing rappers here in America were saying and unsuccessfully tried to fuse it with his own sensibilities. You can never fully blame foreigners for how they interrupt what we put out into the universe... and maybe no one is blaming them, in part because they are too busy laughing at how ridiculous it is... But did you ever stop and think that maybe we're the ones that are ridiculous? To this day, I will never understand the appeal of the "gold grill".

It makes your teeth look extra rotten, which I always thought was the opposite way to attract women, But not if you rap in the south! Apparently women round those parts love a good shiny piss yellow pair of chompers...and who am I to judge ? I'm just an ordinary guy with good white teeth, who found a video of Japanese dudes going crunk and feeling just a little bit bad that they were fooled into believing that the fashion statements in this video were anything less than an utter abomination to man kind. I'm fairly certain one of these Japanese men is sporting a gheri curl. I didn't even know that was possible ! Is that even legal !?

SHOW YOUR FRIENDS HOW PATHETIC OR "FUNNY" YOU ARE WITH A LIFE SIZE TWIGHLIGHT MAN PILLOW....

E.T. Too Emo To Phone home.... ?

See that ? That's a "MANLLOW"... But not just any MANLLOW. It's a Edward Cullen MANLLOW. And don't be worried he has friends:


WOW. And I thought the obsessed Twighight fans were just zany.. but now I know they are ape monkey bat booty sucker pop super nitro twenty two coco puffs mixed with crack and ginger insane ! There is no sane reason to create something so horrid and ridiculous.


Look, I know teenage girls love this stuff and there's definitely a market. I'm not knocking this because it's Twighlight themed, I'm knocking this because it's stupid. The pillows BARELY look like the characters. It's like they weren't even trying. Remember those Wrestling Buddies from the 90's ? NOW THOSE were pillows you could believe in ! They actually looked like the charcaters and weren't some lame inversed silouette !

There's HULK-A-MANIA Iin this pillow ! ... And that's all I'm going to admit to.

I mean really ? You may as well of made a pale skin colored Snuggie and a tanned one with some fake pubic hair sewn in and called them Twighlight Snuggies...at least that would of shown some effort ! Not this ! This was like.. ARGGGGHHHH ! I don't even know it was like, I'm just glad the "creator" doesn't have a contract with any toy companies because THAT would be a travesty. A clusterthumb of capitalism gone wrong ! AND YES! I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS IN MY LIFE AND THIS IS THE BEST THING I COULD CHOOSE TO BE ANGRY ABAOUT! I'M VERY BLESSED ! NACHO CHEESE IN MY MOUSTACHE ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH !!!!

If you know someone you absolutely HATE, here's where to buy this MANLLOW of Edward Cullen/Robert Patteson: Esty, I've already ordered 5 !

I don't want to ruin this by saying anything... Just know that the D in Deluxe is very important.

McNuggets AIN'T REAL MEAT... GRRRR.. McTRICKERY!



From Yahoo!
What’s in a Chicken McNugget?
You’d think that a breaded lump of chicken would be pretty simple. Mostly, it would contain bread and chicken. But the McNugget and its peers at other fast-food restaurants are much more complicated creatures than that. The “meat” in the McNugget alone contains seven ingredients, some of which are made up of yet more ingredients. (Nope, it’s not just chicken. It’s also such nonchicken-related stuff as water, wheat starch, dextrose, safflower oil, and sodium phosphates.) The “meat” also contains something called “autolyzed yeast extract.” Then add another 20 ingredients that make up the breading, and you have the industrial chemical—I mean, fast-food meal—called the McNugget. Still, McDonald’s is practically all-natural compared to Wendy’s Chicken Nuggets, with 30 ingredients, and Burger King Chicken Fries, with a whopping 35 ingredients.

I don't like to take info from Yahoo! but this was just interesting enough to Grab my intention due to a personal connection to the story. You see, ever since my great healthier awakening I decided to boycott McDonald's. Except I made 3 exceptions.
  • The Milkshakes- shakes are bad no matter where they are from....
  • The Mighty Wings- a rare offering thats likely never coming back...
  • The Chicken McNuggets- delicious and I thought they used real meat...

Originally my only exceptions were the milkshakes and mighty wings but then McDonalds started announcing that they used 100% white meat chicken
, but turns out it was just tricky wording as the "meat" used MAKES USE of 100% chicken white meat but is not entirely made up of that. WTF ! Come on McDonald's ... why play games ? Why not just make chicken nuggets made of chicken !? ! I mean really... chicken doesn't need your help, it's delicious all on it's own! And why trick me into being okay with eating it...the majority of your clientele doesn't care what they put in their mouths, why bring me down with them... mother cluckers !

THE NERD WORLD BALANCE IS IN DANGER !


This might literally be the most epic thing that never happened, in short there was an Atari game called Sword Quest that had several elemental sequels. All the games tied together and couldn't be figured out unless you drank from the free goblet and read the comic that came with it. Additionally the game had a contest hidden within. Once all games in the series were released one ultimate winner would get a sword, a philosophers stone and a crown...unfortunately Atari ran out of money and never held the final contest or made the final game in the series.... The treasures were made before the contest, so they still exist and have yet to be claimed by the nerdverse.. watch the video for more...From the Angry Video Game Nerd:



The game looks like donkey burp, but the idea that you had to read the comic and truly interact with the game in order finish it makes it sound amazing. The prospect of those treasures also ups the epic ante. The idea that the fat dude who bought the company is just sitting around his house wearing the crown and using the sword to stab donuts is infuriating. The balance needs to be restored !

Dragon Dragon Buy The Dragon SUPER CHEAP !

When I was younger I LOVED Dragon Ball Z. I first introduced to it as Dragon Ball, in fact, it, along with Sailor Moon were my first introduction to anime. I believe what I saw was the second dub handled by SABAN. I remember it was on at about 5 or 6 am and I loved every minute of it. So much so that when the series looped, I'd grow frustrated but watch it all over again anyway. But this wasn't ordinary looping, it was the last episode ended with a cliffhanger and the show started all over looping. Little did my 12 year old self know there were hundreds of episodes I was missing out on...However before I got the chance to care they stopped looping the same 13 episodes of Dragonball and started looping the first 60 or so episodes of Dragon Ball Z. I never questioned why Goku was grown or why his son looked and sounded exactly like him, I was just happy the show was back...and again, I loved it so much I continued to watch the show even when it looped.

Years later, Cartoon Network picked up the show, FUNIMATION purchased the rights, completed all 3 series and now they release the episodes on DVD almost as much as the syndication affilates would loop them back in the day. Currently the entire Dragon Ball Z series is on DVD, as is GT and The origional show is being released a second time to finish the sets that are currently discontinued. It was recently annouced that Dragon Ball Kai has been licensensed by FUNIMATION, so we can expect that on DVD. In case your curious Dragon Ball Kai is just the same DBZ fixed up and shortned to mirrior the origional manga more closely, it gets rid of filler and tosses in some gloss.

Personally I'm not interested in that. What I'm waiting for is the season three and four of the orginal Dragon Ball series so I can see what happens in both the Piccolo and Piccolo Jr saga's. I've seen the first half of both thanks to Netflix. But oddly Netflix doesn't have the second halves of either saga... It's frustrating. Currently, Amazon has the entire Dragon Ball Z series on sale for 45%, that's about 19 dollars a set.... Additionally they have the other series on sale to at lower discounts, but still discounts none the less.

Some fans still debate over which dub of the show was better citing that the saban dub had better voice acting but the funi dub did less of a hatchet job to the content. The one thing no one can argue about though is that the original "dragon dragon" theme song was far catchier than the one Funi created:

Binocular Football, From Japan



Oh Yes...... :-)

LOST TONIGHT

I know you know, but I'm just reminding you... Again, if you aren't watching LOST, you should be. And if you aren't caught all the way up by tomorrow, stay away from any posts that look LOST related because for you it might contain spoilers. This video however just contains hilarity/bad humor/Hurley:


Drake's Sprite Commercial.... WTF ?



Sprite decided a while ago to market itself as the "basketball/urban" drink.. or at least thats what the commercials would have you believe anyway. Well, following in that tradition they enlisted the hottest upcoming rapper in the game, Drake. It's his job to make it appear as if Sprite helps you rap, and also become a transformer that doesn't actually transform into anything useful. I know commercials don't always make sense or sell the product, but this REALLY doesn't make sense or sell the product...

I feel like If I was a kid this commercial would send me screaming while running away from the TV vowing to boycott Sprite because I don't want my insides to be exposed while Sprite bursts out of my chest.... Being good at rap is not that important.

SMALL WONDER IS BACK, YALL !



Ah ! Small Wonder, the weird show about the man that created a robot daughter and kept his massive accomplishment to himself. I remember having the HUGEST crush on Viki (the robot).. I also remember feeling really bad for her during the episode where she fell in love...maybe because I knew I had what it takes as a 12 year old, how to truly get her circuits to overload. (i.e. pouring water down her "throat"... )

I never fully understood why Ted Lawson wasn't more accomplished considering he beat the Japanese to developing a working life like android. Did you read that? He beat the Japanese ! ...By himself ! That at least deserves a noble peace prize or something.

Why am I talking about this show ? The DVD for the first season was released today, and while I have no intent on purchasing it..I just wanted to make you aware in case you love wasting money on old shows that were only good to 12 year olds with nothing better to watch.

The Modifyers... The Cartoon Nickelodeon Rejected...

What were they thinking ? This is was excellent. It's better than some of the stuff they actually picked up. Here's to hoping cartoon network has the smarts to rescue what seems like an interesting and unique vision from the depths of cartoon hades:




BOWSER IS A CROSSDRESSER ?!?



The above is a 1989 Super Mario OVA that we never saw because Bowser wore lipstick... and because the animation is crappy. The truth is I don't know why we never saw this, you'd think someone would try to cash in on Mario's popularity cheaply by dubbing this thing..... but what what do I know ? The whole thing is in Japanese with no subtitles, so Bowser might be doing this as part of some ludacris plot to steal Peach or kill Mario.... I'll never know because I don't speak Japanese. If you speak Japanese and want to translate, feel free to help me out.

I'll send the first person to translate this thing accurately and tell me why Bowser is wearing lipstick a free crappy Mega Friday T-shirt.

John Mayer & Kanye West Plot to Control the World by Saying Stupid Things...

In light of recent happenings with john Mayer being an idiot, I made this. It's my political statement to the world... You're welcome:


FITTNESS ?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...ok.

Because even nerds need to stay in shape, we're starting a fittness progress article on the blog. My boy Rich is going in on the P90X workout for 90 days and we'll be following his progress here at MF. I was considering tracking my progress as well, but the last thing this blog needs is pictures of two sweaty black men with their shirts off, one is enough. Wow. No Homo.

To usher in this event here's a video thats slightly related :

XTRANORMAL DOT COM.... IS EXTRA COOL... DOT COM... Sorry.

I found this site called Xtranormal.com, essentially anyone can go on here and make little lego man movies. There's no restrictions, so you can make them about anything you want. I have a feeling my progress bar is going to drop a bit now that I've found this. Here are 2 examples of what you can make. I thought they were pretty funny.


Obama vs Little Girl


Robots & Toilet Paper

Batman.... Give this Man a Bat-Grammy !



He won... a talent show... For This ?

Transformers: War for Cybertron Looks Incredible Enough to Trust....



Despite being a huge Transformers fan, I haven't been covering the War for Cybertron game because i'm afraid of getting burned. I was really hyped up for the last movie and it was awful. I didn't even buy the DVD and I always buy the DVD. I have absolutely no interest in ever seeing that movie again... the same goes for Spider-Man 3. Anyway thanks to this history of screwuckery I'm hesitent to play anything new from the Transformer franchise, no matter how good it looks, and no matter how many G1 designs they use. The above video and the announcement of the Shock Wave character with pre-orders does make it feel easier and easier to forgive the Transformers for recent abuse....and I do plan on seeing the third movie, figuring it can't get any worse than Revenge of the Fallen..so yeah, I might pick this up... STOP charming me Transformers!

LOST Mini- Theory....


Okay, so If you didn't watch last nights LOST go away....

Okay great now that it's just me and you I have a new theory that I developed after watching last nights episode, "What Kate Does"....

I'm also questioning what "claimed" means... clearly what happened to Sayid is not what happened to little Ben. I'm thinking that any body left out in the open and not buried, can be claimed. It explains why it was so important bodies be burried. It also explains why people that died but never got buried come back and act strange. Examples: Claire, Christian Sheppard and ..OMG! The Eye patch guy, Mikale ! That's why he was able to get up after being shot by the harpoon... he died and his body was claimed !!!

Interesting, so I think we can assume Christian Sheppard doesn't really work for Jacob...because The others definitely did, and wanted to kill Sayid after being claimed.. which means being claimed places you on the side of smokey, since there's only 2 factions on the island.

AND THUD!

LATE 2 THE PARTY: MARVEL 3 AGE, CUTENESS YOU CAN HOLD.




The above are figures called, Marvel 3 AGE. Perhaps this Marvel/Disney deal had been in the works longer than we knew.... I'm kidding. I couldn't find much info about these thangs, except that they are extremely cute, debuted in 2006, and had a few more figures added to the series since then, Iron Man being a 2008 edition. They are capsule figures, which makes them extremely small, which also makes them even cuter than before. I found them while doing a random google search and now I desperately want to order them. I know they aren't available in the states, but maybe when i'm allowed to spend money I'll make use of ebay. But for now, all we get is peek-tures !

CREEPY POLITICAL AD.



I don't care who your voting for... I'm not even interested in this race, all i know is this campaign Ad is creepy as heck. I literally jumped at one point. Don't watch this with the lights out or during a lightning storm on a farm.

WAS LAST NIGHT REALLY THE LAST EPISODE OF HEROES ?


Last night I watched the possible series finale for HEROES and it was AWFUL. This season wasn't that bad, but last not was just disgusting. It was one giant plot hole, with a very tossed together, anti-climatic ending. Samuel gets arrested because he started an earthquake ? Who called that in? Who answered the phone and believed it ? Claire reveals herself as "FREAK" in front of the media and now everything's different ? REALLY ? Was that the whole point of the season ? Or even the show ? ...As crazy as it sounds, due to the over all crappiness of this episode I definitely think HEROES needs another season because if this is how it ends that's just sad. The Fugatives arc was better than this.....

I really want the series to get another season just to tie up the millions of loose ends... Like the revelation that Tracy Straus and Niki Sanders had a 3rd sister that has powers and was insinuated to have been created in a lab.... bring back characters that simply disappeared, like Peter's Irish girlfriend, Mohinder,(again) Micah( or Rebel, if you will), and that one hot Hispanic woman with the black tears of death that dumped Mohinder when he went super fly (har har). Explain why, all of a sudden in this last episode HRG mentioned the old company being back, even though I'm pretty sure it was destroyed two seasons ago.

Also explain/show all the "future Heroes", like Future Hiro ! They hinted that those futures could still happen, but showed absolutely no progression towards it. Lastly I need more Sylar as a full blooded good guy... I've always wanted this and not that I have it, they can't just take it away... they can't !

Unlike most of the world, I've enjoyed MOST of what Heroes has given us. I loved Seasons 1 and 2. I hated the Fugitives chapter and actually liked this particular season until this horrible final episode. I think the show still has potential for a satisfying wrap up and I'd like the writers/ NBC to give it just one more push.

Who knows ? I might get what I want. So far despite low ratings Heroes DVD sales have been strong and we all know networks make WAY more money on DVD sales than airings. Despite all the internet hate, people are still buying the DVD's..... I'm not one of those people, but I'd consider it if they give us another go.

Fellow artist and cartoonist, Mark Weaver decided upon a project in which he would make something cool everyday. He plans to continue it in 2010, and if these LOST valentines are any indication plans are going exceedingly well. It looks like he plans on updating with more seemingly everyday till Valentine's day! Make sure you go check out the rest, these are really cool.....

LOST Opening Credits, 1967 Style !

I found this while going over recent finds at Super Punch and it's one of the coolest things I've seen all week. Ignore the fact that this is Monday and that's a pretty big statement ! This is enjoyable if even if you never plan to watch LOST (moron) and might confuse you if you haven't seen Season 2.


AWKWARD Valentine's Describes my Love Life Perfectly....

I’d like to give a big shout out to Super Punch. Today the editor posted a bunch of Valentines, more than a few I found worth for this site, two of which I will cover today and the other later. The one I’m covering now has to do with a site called Awkward Valentine’s. I grabbed a few, namely the ones that seem to explain my dating life in very few words. None of these are attributed to any one relationship, but are rather an amalgamation of my experiences.

Legend of Zelda + Thriller+ Japanese People+ Taking Themselves Seriously = HAHAHAHA..





Last week I posted a list of great Japanese Nintendo commercials..well some how I missed one. Because, THIS. IS. ZELDA. THRILLER ! Okay, the top ine is fake but the one below it is real, and while it's not thriller it's still just as entertaining! Nothing aired during the super bowl last night beats this...not even the Doritos commercial with the little kid. Seriously America step up your advertising game ! This is the kind of stuff that truly grabs your attention ! I can't understand any of the text and the game it's advertising is old as crap, and I still want it after seeing this.

Trust me, these are a must see.

Things I Thought Would never Happen: DARIA FINALLY COMING TO DVD


HOLY CRAP ! They are actually doing this.... WOW. I thought it was a bad joke when I saw the Daria coming to DVD thing circling the internet last summer but according to TV Shows on DVD, it's official:

Since last summer we've known that MTV and Paramount Home Entertainment is preparing a 2010 DVD release for the animated series Daria, the 1997 spin-off of Beavis and Butt-head. This morning Paramount has officially announced the title, giving us a release date of:

May 11, 2010

Daria - The Complete Animated Series on DVD will, according to the studio, contain "ALL FIVE SEASONS PLUS BOTH MOVIES!" The running time is 1606 minutes (almost 27 hours!), and video is listed as full screen. Audio specs haven't been provided yet, nor do we have pricing or package art so far. But for now here's a list of the bonus material that will be found on the set, and please stay tuned for updates!

  • Pilot - Sealed With a Kick
  • Music Video: Mystik Spiral Music Video "Freakin' Friends"
  • Daria Day Intros
  • Top Ten Video Countdown Hosted by Daria & Jane
  • Cast & Crew Interviews
  • Never Before-Seen Mystik Sprial spin-off script

I loved Daria growing up. I could never decide who I had a bigger crush on, Daria or Jane. I could also never decide why on MTV wouldn't put this show on DVD, when they had released DVD's of that show with the ghost white veiny guys that no one I knew liked or even remembers. Anyway, I guess someone at MTV developed a fully functioning brain because DARIA is COMING ! Unfortunately, I won't be able to buy it until my budget goes back to normal, but having the option to own the entire series plus both movies is amazing !

Chris Gonna Hulk Out on P90X, then Cry because he ripped through favorite shirt....again



I started the P90X workout yesterday and I only got half way through before I had to stop and just lay there for what felt like forever. I was unable to continue as my arms were simply maxed out and in order to finish I had to do more push ups. I always thought of myself as being in shape but considering I could even finish and woke up today extremely sore, I must not be. I’m trying to begin good habits now so I’m not laying on the couch trying to push in my pot belly 10-15 years from now.

I watch my caloric intake daily and now I’m trying to avoid a lot of foods that contain non-essential fats, pop, fast food and of course high fructose corn syrup. (Yes, I’ve seen that commercial and I still don’t trust that stuff.) I’ve taken my “before” photo and like I said earlier, I’m sore as ever. I can’t even raise my arms to my face, now I know how John McCain feels. Anyway, I just wanted to say to the nerd faithful out there, wish me luck, I’m going to go Batman rehabilitating from his broken back at the hands of Bane, minus the beard, on yall cats ! -That’s right, yall cats. Eat it!

Lil Wayne = The Next Ozzy Osbourne ?!?



When I heard Lil Wayne had planned to make a rock and roll album, I laughed. I mean to be honest we saw this dude grow up. From his days as a Hot Boy, he didn't look like the kind of kid that was busy playing guitar or listening to Iggy Pop. Instead he looked like the kind of kid that used to make fun of me for liking the Def tones, Rage Against the Machine or System of a Down.... Truthfully part of that was because I didn't look like the kind of kid that should like any of those artists. ...which is a sad idea but still very true. So it's ironic 10 years later to find out that Lil Wayne not only appreciates different genre's of music but he wants to and has made it as well.

Since Lil Wayne's jump to the mainstream we've been finding out more about him and it's becoming apparent that in between selling crack and tarding kisses with Baby, he's grown into quite the nerd..... Going against the flow of what's popular and ultimately deciding it thanks in part to his status. Lil Wayne's choice to just do what he wants is effectively making it cool for everyone else to do the same. I love this and fully support it. Personally rock/rap combos are my favorite genre of music. When I used to play music my favorite shows were the shows where we had a live band backing us, and Wayne's abum follows that trail blazed by artists such as The Roots and NERD.

However none of that is why I laughed whne I heard Wayne was making a rock album. I laughed because I expected it to be gawd awful. I mean it's Lil Wayne...I expected him to fully rely on the auto tune and make absolutely no sense and he didn't let me down, but only half the time. The album he released entitled Rebirth is actually pretty good... Wayne sounds good, even on the tracks where he doesn't make sense or uses too much auto tune...But that's in part thanks to his support system, he's got Travis Barker on drums, some woman I've never heard singing backup and lot's of quality post production. I'm sure the raw sessions were pretty mind numbing but since we're not getting that it's fun just to enjoy the finished product...

My favorite song on the album is posted below for people that want a taste.


Legends of The Hidden Temple--- REDUBBED !



Legends of the Hidden Temple was a pretty entertaining show when I was a kid. It aired on Nickelodeon and was about kids running through an absurd obstacle course set in a Myan Temple. But before they could go through the course they kids had to answer random educational questions, teaching children that unless all you want in life is a yo yo, you better start reading books and watching CSPAN.

The Temple course looked easy on TV but some how most of the kids couldn't seem to finish it and thats one of the things that made this show fun to watch, also yelling at the stupid kids passing of peices of treasure and being afriad they would enter the wrong room and get mauled by the Myans. (That job had to suck.)

Originally I pulled a clip from the original show but by today's standards everything leading up to the actual temple game is kind of boring. Omec is still kind of a jerk and that's funny, but everything else from the kids to the host to the questions in the quiz round are ull.... so I found this redubbed version that is pretty hilarious and weird and well, just watch for yourself.
