Bastard's Corner

3:52PM

Much as I want to see Wall Street 2, did they really have to cast Shia LaBeouf in the lead? :/

11:55AM

So, I was curious why there are plenty of Halloween and Christmas films but hardly any films about Thanksgiving.

And then I found this on Netflix.

11:39PM - Here's a conundrum for you

How do 200 men kill half a million animals in 24 hours?

That's a lot of meat.

5:08PM

WHAT THE FUCK

Who would have guessed Jim Carrey has a ridiculous web site.

6:51PM - OMGWTFBBQ

Clash of the Titans teaser trailer:



It's going to be so BAD, but I love the original too much to not at least go see it. Liam Neeson ain't no Laurence Olivier, but he should still make a good Zeus.

Also, Collectible DeLorean with lights and sounds from the movies.

5:42PM

Great article on why Bill Murray is awesome.

I don't have much to add to this, but I can honestly say I don't think I've seen a bad Bill Murray film. I guess I would have to agree that he's probably the best (still living) comic actor.

How To Find A Masculine Halloween Costume For Your Effeminate Son

10:29PM

How to make a TARDIS cake.

Go ahead, Dr. Who crowd. Wet yourselves. :P

11:46PM

Sitting through that whole movie was totally worth it for this one scene.

9:59AM

8:44PM

New threadless shirt



They should wait until 2015 so we can make the Back to the Future 2 comparisons.

9:02PM

Andrew talked me into going halvsies on a Beatles: Rock Band set. It's pretty great.

2:57PM - Writer's Block: On the List

I guess this all depends on what you call "modern." The three of us (Cassie, Andrew and I) were debating the various classifications of wonders the other day, and I guess there are ancient, medieval and modern categories. I guess it doesn't particularly matter whether an item is man-made or natural to make the list.

For me, "modern" constitutes the last century or so. And obviously I'm kind of biased in various ways, both geographically and otherwise, but that's kind of the whole point of this exercise. Anyway:

~ The Golden Gate Bridge
~ The Statue of Liberty
~ The Panama Canal
~ The United Nations
~ Space travel
~ Film (technically the first short films were in the 1890s, but close enough)
~ The Internet

4:52PM

Twisted Disney Princesses

Amazing.

( This is some fucking scary shit. )

12:47PM

Also, Maddox talks swine flu.

12:58AM - THIS WALRUS IS AMAZING

IT'S PLAYING THE SAXOPHONE WHOAMG

mind is blown

Unrelated, I want to ride a blue whale.

They're so big. It's ridiculous.

1:00AM - Writer's Block: This One's on Me

Nope, and nope.

Which basically just means (A) I'm not a woman and (B) I don't go to bars to pick up chicks.

1:33PM

Cassie and I got a Costco membership yesterday. I found the Sopranos complete series on sale, so I picked that up. It's in my top 3 tv series, along with The Simpsons (the first 10 seasons, anyway) and Lost (no particular order), so I consider it one of those rare cases where it's actually worth buying the official release DVD.

Unrelated, the demo for Batman: Arkham Asylum just hit Xbox Live. This game looks surprisingly awesome. Part stealth, part beat-em-up.

Unrelated again, my sister took a trip to Reno for dance this past week and met someone from Michael Jackson's dance troupe. She now knows the entire Thriller dance, so we should all get together and do it. XD

9:07PM

I have to protest. I had this game on NES as a kid (it's still around somewhere, I'm sure), and it was an absolute favorite. Definitely a challenge, but a lot of fun.

Good episode, though.

So, as far as Fallout 3 goes, I have Mothership Zeta and a few miscellaneous quests in Point Lookout and I'm pretty much done quest-wise. Of course, there's still a lot of freeform roaming and random dungeon crawling.

12:34AM

John Hughes died, what the fuck

Keep in mind, this is the director of National Lampoon's Vacation, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Uncle Buck, Home Alone, and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

Maybe not Michael Jackson big, but still a fucking big deal.
