Terrific illustration depicting what a warmup exercise must be like at Apatow film camp. This piece comes from the mind of Dan Park, who is responsible for all sorts of insightful artistic mischief…

Admittedly righteous trailer for new game, Star Wars: The Old Republic.

That’s not to say I can’t nitpick a little. I mean, aren’t these Boba Fett-gadget types getting a little bit overpowered (a la Iron Man on steroids)? The one in the trailer seems like she could take out the entire Jedi brigade by herself.

And does every Sith Lord have to have the full-body cybernetic breathing suit? Is there no other way to use the Dark Side without suffering full-body disfigurement? Meh.

You can watch the trailer here.

(Removed the embed because it was annoying as all get out.)

This confrontation between Sacha Cohen’s Bruno, and homophobic caricature, Eminem seems totally genuine. I mean, obviously, Cohen was rigged to land on Mr. Mathers, but having seen 8-mile, I doubt the rapper could conjure up a batch of fake indignation.

To any confused conservatives out there, this is what is meant by ‘teabagging.’

This mashup is pretty poppin’

As it turns out, designer Eduard McIntosh is the progenitor of Skynet, or the Oz Head, or whatever computer lineage eventually morphs into the overlord of the Matrix universe.

Called the Autonomous Living Unit, the theoretical one-man-band chair would provide all the needs of the user, and eventually make fully furnished living spaces obsolete. The project is pitched as a solution for homeless people or squatters living without amenities.

We’re on our way now…

This narrator reminds me of Dennis Quaid’s computer in Innerspace.

I finally figured out what I want for my birthday… Unfortunately there’s only one known set in existence and it’s going for $5,500.

For those not initiated, this art installation/board game is based on the Hunter S Thompson novel/movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Speaking of which, here’s an old BBtv show I created with a similar theme.

To get a sense of what the enhanced version of this otherwise craptastic Ben Stiller movie might sound like, look no further than this history lecture by former University of Florida Professor, John Hall. Unfortunately, he’s a former professor now because the University got wind of this command performance and immediately dismissed him from the faculty.

That doesn’t seem particularly fair. Apparently the University of Florida operates on the ’stoning for being a stoner’ philosophy. Code of Hammurabi? Duuuuuude…

Absolutely freaking brilliant…and dead-on accurate.

Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As ‘Fun, Watchable’

In honor of Star Trek’s opening weekend, here’s a sneak peak at the future of non-fictional human space exploration. This is an endeavor that seems to be solely in the hands of private entrepreneurs, such as the creator of Paypal, being interviewed here:
