Not only thrilled this morning with the group-clinching goal by US Soccer Poster Boy, Landon Donovan, but also of the internet for almost instantaneously spawning this amazing video montage to its greatness.

As a dyed in the wool Stanley Kubrick fan, this pairing occurred to me as wildly uneven. As a Brooklyn kid, I like Goodfellas and Gangs of New York as much as the next guy, but have a hard time putting them in the same league as A Clockwork Orange or 2001. Cinematically, though, they are all wondrous to watch – and quite compelling as opposite ends of this mashup.

New DJO goodness. Each DJO release should trigger some kind of internet holiday, in my opinion.

A talented mashup artist visits some of the homo-erotic themes in He-Man, while fleshing out the emotional core of Prince Adam. One can’t be a superhero all the time. Sometimes one just needs to vent frustrations and disco-dance one’s troubles away.

Here’s Will Ferrell posing as a minor league baseball pitcher for the semi-pro Round Rock Express. In my opinion, he could have done a lot more with this opportunity – like break out a few eephus pitches.

As is, this guy is becoming the real world incarnation of Montgomery Brewster, an affable gozillionaire that can pretty much do whatever he pleases. It’s fun to watch.

I don’t drink coffee, much less Red Bull, so, to me, this “Powerthirst” spoof seems to be an effective way to target this demographic.

The issue of Earth’s movement along its orbit is something flux capacitor- obsessed sci-fi authors and screenwriters rarely acknowledge. Perhaps in some future sci-fi story, the author will restrict time travel to events that happened on the same calendar day as the departure, to prevent the Earth movement problem.
