BATDANCE


How do you top having Rutger Hauer in Batman Begins for the Dark Knight????


Now that's a man!


If they put Gary Busey in the third film the trifecta will be complete and the dawn of the apocalypse will be upon us.

Captain America is ALIVE!!! With Burrito assault!!!!! Why are you in Australia, Cap?
Melbourne, FL. My bad.

Rolling Stone has the U.S. version of the video for Ride a White horsefrom Goldfrapp, which according to the picture is different than the one that was shown, well, probably everywhere else. Someone with Real Player please tell me the difference because i refuse to add more software to this bloated machine. So, instead, here's a video of Allison making a cake. No joke.

That's all for now. Please pull up to the blogthru window.

A Home Away from Home?

Well, it's about time isn't it.
Sorry for the delay. I'm almost done with student teaching. Normally I would have neglected this blog another day or week (or month or...) because I have soooooo much shit to do, but then I saw this.

We finally did it. After a million years of looking at the stars wondering if there was anywhere like Earth out there we actually have the definitive answer, "Yes, there is." It just took us awhile to find it.

See the problem with astronomy is it works really well on a large scale. Humans are pretty unsophisticated when it comes to looking for things. If it's big and it's bright we'll see it and go, "Coooool. Look I found a star 500 times the size of our sun!" Actually there are quite a few of those but that's another post for another time. Looking for something the size of the Earth takes some modifications to how one traditionally does astronomy. But ever since we discovered how exactly to look correctly (see here if you desire further explanation) we have found about 227 extra solar planets. Looks like number 228 was the kicker.

A lot of people who are closed-minded idiots might tell you that finding a planet like Earth is a one in a trillion chance. They say that there are too many factors for Earth to just have "happened by chance." Notice this leads one to look to a higher power for an explanation about why Earth is just right for us. That's not the case at all. Earth isn't one in a trillion. It's one in 228. I like those odds.

Now i've just got to find a way to get there. It's about 20 light years away. So if we figure a light year is about 5,879,000,000,000 miles and the space shuttle can go 17,321 miles per hour it should only take me 774,919 years to fly there.

Hmmm, maybe I won't be taking a vacation anytime soon.

It's on VH1, and I care a great deal for it. A great deal.

STUFF AND JUNK


Your state is in a financial mess, the unemployment rate is the highest in the nation, the government may have to shut part of itself down if a budget crisis can not be resolved. So what do you do.......You propose a 38 million dollar bill to get every student an iPod.

Why? Because apple was nice enough to pay for your trip to visit them in California.....that and you know for educational type stuff like listening to the new (insert generic teeny bopper bullshit band here).

In other critical government news Grindhouse may be getting split up and re-released later on this year due to it's not so hot run in theaters. This is a horrid idea and one that defeats the purpose of what the films are all about. Perhaps next time the studio should consider releasing a gore fest cult film on any other weekend other than EASTER. I know I had a hard time selling mom on a ham dinner followed up with some hardcore decapitation cinema.


Do you buy the fact that this guy looks like Kenny Rogers?

His Celebrity Look alike agency seems to think so.


More importantly does he even sound like the Gambler? This is a must for my next birthday party.

28 Weeks Later

GOOD FRIDAY!!!

It certainly is this year since Grindhouse will be released. Here's a sample of how you should be spending your half day/easter weekend.


THANKSGIVING

Or you could always take the kids easter egg hunting.....cause they can learn so much from that. Personally I'd rather teach them how to replace a severed limb with an automatic weapon.

SURE, WHY NOT?


In Fact, can you think of a reason not to name you daughter after these guys?

What better way to celebrate our 400th post?

Alanis Morrissette does something brilliant. No joke. Sort of. Or wait. Just watch it.




h/t to Pitchfork. For once.

The bun is in your mind.
The first appearance of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They started out over at Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
Still brilliant.

Scarlett Johansson, for no good reason other than she's hot. And wearing a bra with a pink bow. Oh damn.

Still gay.
