Periodically I find myself simply linking to Joss Whedon interviews, without comment, just for their extreme funniness. Some people have to mine and smelt humor, like some exotic alloy. For Whedon humor just seems to be a naturally occurring resource. I’m sure he has tons of inner pain or something. God I hope so.
Update: Dr. Horrible …
The exciting conclusion of 14-year-old Matt Selman’s 1986-era A Prologue to the Dark Knight. Any similarities between this and 37-year-old Christopher Nolan’s 2008-era The Dark Knight are surely not coincidental.
SCENE 2
Batman disregards Alfred’s warning, and is captured by the police while trying to kill the Joker. Enter Batman …
This wasn’t actually sent from my iPhone 3G. I’m waiting till I get home to sync it with my Powerbook. But I do have it. (Have = Apple has loaned me a unit for review purposes.) It’s sitting on my desk, charging up through its surprisingly weensy charger.
The scene at the store (the glass cube store in midtown Manhattan) was sedate, …
This week’s Time has my profile of moot, the 20-year-old founder of 4chan. I first became aware of 4chan when I failed to credit them as the creators of lolcats, and they got in touch en masse to point that out. Now I see their influence everywhere — 4chan is like a black hole, invisible to the naked eye, but its gravity field is …
Jonathan Nolan’s The Dark Knight will be relased on July 18, 2008. Matt Selman’s A Prologue to the Dark Knight was written on April 27, 1986, months away from his fifteenth birthday. Whose work is truly, “an ambitious, full-bodied crime epic of gratifying scope and moral complexity”? You be the judge.
SCENE 1
Enter Batman and …
I’m pretty sure Fox is taking these down as they come up, so if this is gone, just search YouTube. (I’m also pretty sure there’s a copyright lawyer somewhere who earns money every time somebody says that.)
This is a must-watch for me, as is all Futurama-related filmed entertainment. Though I continue to believe that Bender is the …
This trailer is coming in for some mocking around the Internet. You know how those Internet people like to mock. To be completely honest, I found it kind of chilling. Maybe because it’s set in my home town of Lexington, Mass., a place where nothing interesting has happened since 1775, when we invented liberty.
I had a moment of weird …
The Founding Fathers of the United States successfully develop space travel. George Washington is the first man on the Moon, and immediately asphyxiates.
The Nazis win the Civil War.
Batman’s parents are never murdered, and Bruce Wayne grows up to be Spider-Man.
World War II never happens – resulting in the following movies: …
I have not in the past been shy about the love I feel for original nerd-rockers Nerf Herder. And this is no time to start, because I am in possession of an interview with Nerf Herder frontman Parry Gripp, which we conducted via e-mail. It was originally supposed to come out to coincide with the release of their latest album, Nerf Herder …
– Dirk Gently is actually part of the Hitchhiker’s universe. I thought everybody should know that.
– The Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas is dying.
– Speaking of which, Harry Knowles has seen some of the new J.J. Abrams trek movie
– If a lot of nerd icons had a big fight, Thor would probably win, because he’s a god. Or maybe J …
Video Games are as much a drug as heroin or crystal meth, in that when you play them, you feel GREAT. I defy any to drug user to say the sensation of sitting back in your couch as that first game of Grand Theft Auto IV loads up doesn’t compare to a veinful of the finest black tar street horse.
Who knows if these games are really bad …
Since I live in a sub-dimension that’s time-shifted a month after your Earth world, I didn’t go see Wall-E this weekend. Instead I finally saw Prince Caspian. When I went to buy tickets from practically the only theater in New York that was still playing it, I was like “Prince Caspian, please!” and the woman was all, “I’m sorry, that …
