I'm withTeam Ghost Riders

I've been on vacation most of this week, sorry for the lack of posts. As an apology here's 10 minutes of monkeys riding dogs.

The Wolverine might not suck. really.

So this morning people on the internet are reporting that Fox is looking at Duncan Jones to direct the new Wolverine movie. This is great news. If you haven't been following this story Darren Aronofsky was originally attached to the project but backed out after he realized he's a real director and we're talking about a Wolverine sequel.

Once Aronofsky left I didn't think this movie had a snowball's chance in hell of being any good, but if they really are looking at Duncan Jones I'm drinking the cool aid. Jones directed what's probably my second favorite Sci-Fi movie of the last 10 years, Moon (Primer being my favorite). If The Wolverine is going to break the odds and actually be any good, hiring Jones is a nice place to start. Having him bring Sam Rockwell along would be even better.

The Death Star was my Idea

I like these Star Wars Windows 7 parodies because in a weird way they completely dismiss Episodes 1-3. I mean The Death Star was already being built at the end of Revenge of the Sith, how could a Storm Trooper have had the idea first? Only in an awesome alternate reality where George Lucas died in the 90s.

The Nintendo 3DS Safety Manual

This was funny and I've got nothing else to blog about today.

I like the new Beastie Boys

This is the trailer for the new Beastie Boys album. Did you know they make trailers for albums now? Also did you know the Beastie Boys were still alive? Honestly I thought they died in a plane crash with DJ Jazzy Jeff. Does this mean I poured out that 40 for nothing?

ABC is full of hypocrites

Today Hugh Hefner announced via twitter (really?) that Dancing with the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff is going to be on the cover of Playboy in May (and presumably nude inside). This of course is creating a HUGE controversy cause nudity is scary and DWTS is like the number one TV show on TV (that isn't hosted by Ryan Seacrest).

"If Karina posed naked, she can kiss her dancing days goodbye,” a ‘DWTS’ insider told me immediately after hearing of Hef’s announcement on Twitter. “I hope for Karina’s sake that this isn’t true.”

The immediate response of ABC, I’m told, is that having one of their dancers pose naked during an ongoing season could “soil” the wholesome show’s image.

Wholesome image! You have got to be shitting me. Currently one of the contestants on Dancing with the Stars is Kendra Wilkinson. She's ONLY famous for sleeping with Hugh Hefner and two other blond chicks. Oh yeah and she has a sex tape she released herself. In fact she's the 3rd contestant they've had with a sex tape. The very first winner of DWTS Kelly Monaco was Miss April 1997 for pete's sake. Just off the top of my head I can name 6 contestants that have been in Playboy and that includes the co-host Brooke Burke, which means either I know way too much about Dancing with the Stars or I know way too much about Playboy.

And lets not forget about the fellas. ABC has also had a guy on the show that was caught sleeping with underage prostitutes (Lawrence Taylor), a convicted money launderer (Tom Delay) and a guy that reportedly stabbed someone in the neck with a pair of scissors (Michael Irving).

It would take some serious balls for ABC to fire Karina when every season they're cashing in on the playboy gravy train. If they were going to fire her they should have done it after she slept with Mario Lopez... yech.

Tansformers + Thriller = !

Honestly, I might stop blogging after this. It all downhill from here, right?

I'd say this is priceless

My car didn't start this morning so I'm probably not going to be bloggin much today. Here's something from my tumblr, which you should really be checking out more.
