Every NES Title Screen.. ever

In Alphabetical order no less!

This video is almost 3 hours of NES title screens. 3 hours. I can barely make it through Return of the King, how on earth am I supposed to make it through 3 hours of title screens? Good on you whatever crazy youtuber put this thing together. You're truly doing Gods work.

Mega Sized Hump Links

SLAM Magazine scans from the early/mid 2000s. Some fabulous redditor took a bunch of old issues of Slam Magazine and put them online. I love it because this era is right about where my knowledge of the NBA ends. Once the Sonics left town I stopped watching. Whenever I catch a game for more than a couple minutes I'm always like "where's Desmond Mason?" and "Who does Steve Francis play for now?"

8 Reasons to be Overly Excited for the Lego Movie. Last night was bath night for my son and right as we were getting him ready a commercial for the movie aired and he LOST HIS SHIT. Not literally of course. Potty training is done, no accidents in weeks. He wanted us to rewind the commercial like 4 times. Needless to say it was a very short bath.

The movie looks great, and I'm super pumped to take him to it. My only complaint is that the lego sets associated with the movie don't look that great to me. No where near as good as the Lone Ranger sets from last summer look. I guess we'll just have to stick with Lego Star Wars and Ninjago for now. First world problems...

Barbarella TV series finds a home on Amazon. Nicolas Winding Refn the ultra-hipster director behind Drive and Only God Forgives is bringing Barbarella to TV. Kind of.. Does Amazon Prime count as TV? I'm not even sure anymore, man. If he's looking for some casting advice, I heartily recommend Alice Eve or Diora Baird for the part of Barbarella, because reasons.

Meet The Stay-At-Home Mom Who Makes $30K Per Month From Her Bigfoot Porn Novels. Man, sometimes I feel like I really missed my calling in life.

Lauren Tannehill, Ryan Tannehill's Model Wife, Left a Massive Rifle in a Rental Car. I'm not sure I'd call an AR-15 a "massive" rifle. It is a scary looking son of a bitch though. Also not the kind of thing you usually leave in a rental car. Keys? check. Wallet? check. Phone? check. Assault Rifle? damn it!

Lets talk about the RoboCop remake

You would be hard pressed to find two movies that captured the zeitgeist of the 1980s like RoboCop and Total Recall did. Why wouldn't some coked up movie execs think it was a good idea to remake them 30 years later? Of course we all know how Total Recall did last year. The word suckbomb gets thrown around a lot these days...

So that leads us to the RoboCop remake. At first glance RoboCop seems like a movie about a cyborg shooting bad guys in the face. Don't get me wrong, it totes is a movie about a cyborg shooting bad guys in the face, but it's also sooo much more. There's the obvious themes of humanity and post modern futurism. There's also some great commentary on consumerism, materialism and the embrace of excess so commonly found in the '80s. And Under all of that there's this subversive sort of commentary on the good old fashioned ultra violence and how quickly the viewer is ready to embrace it in the name of kicking bad guy ass.

It's kind of a perfect action movie. One that makes you think but not so hard that you forget you really want to see Dick Jones get pushed out a window.

There's pretty much zero chance of the RoboCop remake being more than a mindelss shoot-em-up. From what I saw last summer there were two movies that tried to be more than they were. The Lone Ranger attempted to be a commentary on Hollywood's obsession with origin movies by being sort of an Anti-origin movie and it tanked. Iron Man 3 was pretty much a love letter written to the buddy cop action films of the '80s and early '90s. It did pretty well for itself but it was written and directed by the guy that wrote a lot of those great buddy cop movies. At best we can hope for a RoboCop that is sort of an homage to the quasi-futuristic action films of the past but I'm afraid what we're more than likely to get is a paint by number remake that lacks anything beneath the surface.

At least with the Total Recall remake we got Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel.

Snow: Trick Montage

In the list of video game genres that seem to be on their way out, extreme sports has to be near the top of the list.. somewhere below fake guitar games but above 2-d fighters. This new game simply titled Snow, looks to buck the trend by stripping away all the craziness of SSX and gimicks of Tony Hawk and concentrating on recreating the real life skiing experience. I don't know, it looks pretty cool. I'm just not sure if the gameplay looks good enough to keep my attention for more than 10 minutes.

The release date is later this year but if you're lucky you can try to sign up for the trial on Steam right now.

Not Even Once

Captain Stone: Paramount Stage 9 Interloper

Back in 1988 a couple fans broke into the Star Trek the Next Generation set with a video camera and made their own behind the scenes documentary. Although to be fair to set security, one of the fans had worked on the show briefly as special effects tech. So I'm guessing they had some sort of credentials that helped them get onto the lot. It's not like they jumped a fence and chloroformed a guard or anything.

I don't know, it's 30 minutes long. If you have that kind of time to watch a couple nerds geek out at being able to turn on the lights for the warp drive display knock yourselves out. Me, I'll be on the Seahawks subreddit. GO HAWKS!

The 'Evolution' of Sexy: Every Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover Ever Interesting read about how the Sports Illustrated covers have changed over the years. I went with Elle Macpherson here instead of the usually reliable click bait of Kate Upton. Elle was the cover girl of the first Swimsuit Issue I remember. You could almost see her nipple, can you believe that?!

Story Time; My high school had a subscription to SI for the library (along with a bunch of other magazines) this was pre-internet times so people still read magazines. I remember one year when the swimsuit issue came out one of the librarians took a sharpie and drew full swimsuits over all the models so you couldn't see an centimeter of skin. They even put a caption on it that said something to the effect of "sorry boys!". It was the craziest thing I had ever seen. It's like they were trolling all the horny 15 year olds brave enough to look at the swimsuit issue in public. Why not just throw away the issue?

World War 2 bomber art. This was posted on reddit the other day and I thought it was fascinating. They're photos one redditor's grandfather took during World War II in the China-Burma-India theater. I had no idea some of them were straight up nude pictures... or that there were so many puns.

Star Wars toys photos look more realistic than the real Star Wars. Finnish artist Vesa Lehtimäki aka Avanaut takes pictures of his kids toys then shops them into real world pictures to create some pretty amazing images. It also makes a pretty strong argument against 3D modeling when it comes to the next Star Wars films.

The 1975 Mighty Marvel Calendar works for 2014. Did you save your 1975 Mighty Marvel Calendar? Well good news, you can reuse that baby this year. The bad news however is that you're probably a hoarder. You might want to look into that.

Kirby Krackle: Set your Phasers to Sexy

Here's the official video to Kirby Krackle's megahit Set Your Phasers to Sexy.... Now that I think about it, this might be less of an official video and more of an opportunity for Kyle (lead singer of said Kirby Krackle) to stick it to everyone that didn't get to go to Hawaii while the lower 48 froze to death. Whatever, it's still my favorite song off the new album.
