Dancin’ Fools

dancing-star-wars-foolsTaken from Powerpigs Photostream on Flickr. There are some nice LEGO and Star Wars pics, along with many others, that are worth a look if you have the time. I’m also partial to Daydream Believer, Disposable, Hitchin’ a Ride, and Vader’s Angels.

Movie News Nuggets
posted by  Cap'n Carrot at 2:15 pm on June 10th, 2009 

movie-news-61009Three little nuggets of movie news for you today. The first shot of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2 has hit the ‘net. Pretty rough looking (and I’m a little scared we’re going to get robot mash action to end the sequel, again). Also worth noting:

Jaime King has been chosen by her real-life husband to star as Bridget Bardot in an upcoming biopic. Despite some misgivings I must concede the resemblance.

And finally, much to the dismay of Buffy fans, The Flickcast is reporting Megan Fox as a possibility for the title role in the upcoming Whedon-less remake of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Kill me. Kill me now.

Stackle

stackleA little bit Jenga and a little bit Tetris, if you’ve got some free time on your hands today you might waste a few minutes trying out Stackle. Move blocks from below to make the tower taller. Be careful how you place the blocks, and, whatever you do, don’t let the whole thing fall down.

Is that a Zach Morris sighting?
posted by  Cap'n Carrot at 10:30 am on June 10th, 2009 

The internets were all a twitter about this yesterday, but I couldn’t quite find time to share this with you. Here’s Zach Morris showing up in place of Mark-Paul Gosselar on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Two Jimmy Fallon posts in one day is a little odd, but, at least as far as this one is concerned, “it’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the bell.”

Jimmy Fallon thanks Conan O’Brien at the Webby Awards
posted by  Cap'n Carrot at 8:00 am on June 10th, 2009 

The host was Seth Meyers and all the winners gave five-word acceptance speeches. Monday night internet celebrities and B-list stars gathered together as the Webby Awards handed out their, well, what the hell are those statues anyway? Heating coils? You can find a list of all the winners here or spend some time watching more more 5 Word Speeches. There’s just so much you can say in five words (like say, “Webby’s? That a real award?”). Of those I watched Sarah Silverman was the most memorable, but Fallon’s was the best.

I knew it!

click for larger imagePeople said I was crazy for believing the Japanese were secretly building giant robots to take over the world.

Crazy, huh?

Take a look at these!

Seriously though, this gigantic Gundam is pretty damn sweet, and I kinda want one (preferably Jetfire-style) in my back yard.

So much cooler than those cows we had placed all over few years back.

Top 10 Tuesday - Movies Better Without Women
posted by  Scene-Stealers at 12:30 pm on June 9th, 2009 

top 10 movies ruined by womenControversial contributor Warren J. Cantrell is back again with a Top 10 list that he thinks will improve the movies he’s written about. His list does not reflect the opinions of anyone at Scene-Stealers. In fact, I like to think of Warren’s writing voice as a kind of satiric-inspired Stephen Colbert, except more geared toward the uber-male demographic. If you have a Top 10 list of your own you’d like to submit, send it to eric@scene-stealers.com.

Without further ado, here is warren’s list of Top 10 Movies Ruined by a Female Presence.

Royal Pains
posted by  Cap'n Carrot at 12:00 pm on June 9th, 2009 

USA Network has a pretty good track record, but not everything they touch has turned to gold (remember Touching Evil?). Their latest, Royal Pains, stars Mark Feuerstein as immensely talented doctor, recently fired for the death of a wealthy patient, who finds himself, against his own wishes, practicing as a reluctant doctor for hire for the rich and famous. The Pilot, as most are, is a little rough and feels like one of those shows with a better cast than writers. However, things do pick up a bit towards the end, and I’m willing to give it a few more episodes to try and win me over.

Happy Birthday, Natalie Portman!
posted by  Cap'n Carrot at 10:00 am on June 9th, 2009 

I was actually going to post something for Aaron Sorkin or Michael J. Fox, both of whom were born on this date, but that’s before I found this little clip from Natalie Portman’s appearance on Sesame Street where she admits to Elmo her lifelong desire to be an elephant. Enjoy, and Happy Birthday Natalie!
