This show is fucking retarded. But fun. Did I say it was fucking retarded?

Yay. Michel Gondry’s Green Hornet looks entertaining enough, but I’m still not feeling the love. Is there something wrong with me? There are shots in this trailer that make me giggle a bit, and Jay Chou is certainly a worthwhile choice to play Kato – but…ehhhhh… And 3D? Is this really where we’re going? Will every big-budget action flick in [...]

Watching this recent iPhone ‘unveiling’ in Vietnam, and reading this subsequent post at Wired about Apple’s obsession with security, it suddenly dawned on me – Steve Jobs is Willy Wonka. All the security measures and secrecy implemented by Apple remind me of nothing less than Wonka’s obsessive protection of his own iPhone, the Everlasting Gobstopper.

Ladies and Gents, I bring you Glenn Beck circa 2055. Joad Cressbeckler Is Back To Claim Rightful Title As Most Ornery Pundit Alive

Sweet bejeezus – it’s like listening to Whitney Houston minus all the crack cocaine and Bobby Brown drama.

Gaze upon the horror that is Pink Lady, a short-lived variety program that aired in 1980 starring Japanese singing duo Pink Lady (hence the title) and co-host (and occasional translator) Jeff Altman. Pink Lady are entertaining in a post-70′s kitschy sort of way, but Altman’s jokes are about as entertaining as a colostomy bag souffle.

I’ve blogged about The Peanuts before, but here’s another gem – it’s the Mothra twins belting out the swing classic Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. Fantastic!

This is one of those posts that emerges from noodling around on YouTube when I should be working. I watched the awesome rock-doc ANVIL: THE STORY OF ANVIL at a friend’s house over Christmas (do check it it out if you get a chance – it’s amazing…) and have been adding Anvil videos to my YouTube faves ever since. Today [...]
