ComicCon Excursion: Home of TRON
This weekend, we sent the emu down to San Diego to the nerve center of the fanboyverse.
Our first ComicCon artifact is footage of a vintage arcade built by Tron character, Kevin Flynn.
Naked Cowboy Running for NYC Mayor
Human tourist-attraction the Naked Cowboy has decided to throw his hat (one of a paltry few articles of clothing) into the ring for Manhattan’s next mayoral election.
Blizzard Announces WoW Movie
Ready your empty crack vials. Digital pusher Blizzard Entertainment has just announced that Sam Raimi will direct the official World of Warcraft movie.

Art House Film: Disaster 2012
I’m so tired of these esoteric, emotionally driven movie plot-lines. How many angst-ridden close ups of Ralph Fiennes can a man take? Nobody can be that excruciatingly jilted all of the time!
Bahhhhh! And now… Disaster:
