Sitcom Dreams to Super Giant Robot Panda: A day in the life of…(4/30)

1 – Could my dream come true? Could 90210 and Full House be combined into one magical TV experience? The answer is YES! Lori Laughlin, who many remember as Uncle Jesse’s way-too-attractive-for-him girlfriend on Full House, has signed onto the 90210 spinoff show. If the momentum continues and they do sign pop/media sensation Hilary Duff, Lori will be playing her mom. If we don’t get an Uncle Joey cameo in there somewhere, i’m going to be very perturbed. [via Variety]

2 – The kids who played Final Countdown by Europe on their cellos just got served. [via GorillaMask via afrojacks]

3 – I’m digging the poster campaign here. Making it feel like the Joker is trailing right behind Batman on the promotional tour and screwing around. Nice touch, marketing gurus. [via Film School Rejects]

4 – USB jump drives are getting weirder by the second, but leave it to a Japanese company to combine creepy with cute into something that you just can’t stop yourself from wanting. Personally, the pirate USB drive is calling to me in my sleep. After the jump, you’ll find there is actually a contest to win some of these little geek toys. Yaaarrrrr… [via JoshSpear]

5 – As many suspected, the intensely awaited film Blindness is going to open the coming Cannes Film Festival. Hopefully it will not take long to get from there to the local theaters because I am already dying to see it. [via Variety]

6 – OK, this has been going on for a couple days now, but it’s time to let it go. Miley Cyrus took what many consider to be a risque photo for an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair. The photo was taken by visual arts legend Annie Leibovitz. As you can see from the photo (scroll to the bottom to see the final photo) there is a lot of skin showing and the subtext is to make it look like she’s naked, but the issue comes to bear when you remember that Miley Cyrus is 15 years old. So, was Annie wrong for setting up this photo? Were the editors of Vanity Fair wrong for printing it? Were Miley and her parents wrong for agreeing to it? Personally I think it was a little bit of all of the above, but the truth remains none of this would be an issue if some of the more outspoken and vocal members of society didn’t get all in a huff over it. Now it’s turned into another case of everyone pointing fingers at each other to blame and Miley being whisked out of the spotlight to try and force people to forget as quickly as possible. Disney execs have already stated that she will not be appearing at any events or public signings for four to six months. The only thing I am worried about is that she seems primed and ready to turn into the next Britney-trainwreck-fallen superstar-VH1 special-cliche. That’s just one thing we really don’t need to go through again. [via Defamer via The Superficial]

7 – Proof once again that there is a bright side to everything, even a nuclear explosion. [via College Humor]

8 – My only real question about this video is: Was the trombone really necessary? [via GorillaMask via unibrow]

9 – I posted this video a long time of a teacher drawing an actual perfect circle on his blackboard, but it resurfaced and still has the power to creep me out. Even creepier is the other, harder to find video, of him drawing a perfect BLT sandwich in the same amount of time. [via Pandachute]

10 – I hope you all realize that this video game is the first step in us being able to draw things that will instantly come to life. Here’s comes the Super Giant Robot Panda!!! [via swissmiss]

Fame whore to Facebook whore: A day in the life of…(4/22)

1 – It does seem you can push the envelope too far, at least when you’re attending an Ivy League school. The Yale student made infamous by her claim to have done her senior art project by artificially inseminating herself, then taking all-natural supplements to force homegrown abortions, has now been told by the authorities of the University that her project will not be shown under any circumstances unless she comes forward to admit that it is a hoax. If this girl wanted to spur discussion, she’s done it, but I think she missed the mark since most of the talking is about how unethical and retarded she is. Whoops.[via Perez]

2 – Time for the comedy crush to set in. Amy Poehler talks to Letterman about peeping window washers and their disdain for “her work”. [via Defamer]

3 – Honestly, this is exactly what happens when I try to grow a beard. I was just not meant to be an English professor, Mountain dweller or Harley bike rider. [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

4 – Some people talk about becoming a parent in poetic terms like, “It felt like a baby just fell into my arms.” Well, this postal carrier happens to be a tad bit more literal minded, since a baby really did fall into her arms out a second story window. [via CNN]

5 – Are you sitting there wondering, “Man, I want to play Rock Band, but I can’t choose which instrument to play. What oh what can I do?” Worry no more, this t-shirt named Rocktopus shows you the way to the promised land of solo Rock Band bliss. [via iloveyourshirt]

6 – As humorous as this is, this video showing the current Democratic race as a running montage of scenes from the Rocky films actually still ends up being inspirational. I think Obama should pick it up and use it today in the PA primary. Time for Hillary to go down for the count. [via GorillaMask via MilkandCookies]

7 – Ever wanted to make a fake commercial and get it played on the big screen? Well, Zack Snyder is giving you the chance to do that. The winners of this contest will get their commercials played on the TV screens in the background of his new movie, The Watchmen. [via ComingSoon]

8 – I always wondered what vampire hunters would hunt if there were no vampires around. Now I know (and that’s just half the battle…). [via CollegeHumor]

9 – When the Presidential candidates start pandering to the professional wrestling voting block, not only have you jumped the shark, but you’ve yanked it out of the water, punched it in the nose and forced it to watch reruns of Family Matters for three days in a row. None of those are nice things to do. [via Starpulse]

10 – This is not a link or a tidbit of pop culture phenomenon, this is a warning. Facebook is a drug. There, i’ve said it. One step down, eleven more to go…

Reunion to Racket Rage: A Day in the life of… (4/1)

Happy April Fool’s Day, dear readers! My best wishes go out to all of in hopes that you don’t get horribly rooked by conmen on the street or needlessly frightened by the masked psychopath in the alley behind your work. Oh wait, that last guy might be real. Umm…duck. (p.s. since it is the day of not-quite-factual information, my daily sources might also be compromised, so take today’s bits with a grain of salt, then a little pepper, a dollop of extra virgin olive oil, and you’re good to go. Fabulous!)

1 – It’s getting pretty cold in Hell right now because the word on the beat is all five members of New Kids on the Block are going to appear on the Today show this Friday to announce their reunion. Once again, this is another case of negligence. If Obama was in charge, he would never let this kind of thing happen. I hate you, Bush! [via Starpulse]

2 – Nothing is more poetic than a shot of someones feet: [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

3 – Fitting that this bit of trivia would land on #3 since it has to do with possibly the most amazing trilogy to ever come to the screen. The Lord of the Rings? The Matrix trilogy? The original Star Wars? Oh no, none of these can even come close to the power in one pinky toe of Danny Trejo as he and Robert Rodriguez bring us The Machete Trilogy! Those are the tentative plans to expand the fictional trailer inside the Grindhouse movie into a trilogy of films following one man with many knives. Face it, the merchandising practically takes care of itself. [via Film School Rejects]

4 – People are starting to move into the new 90210 remake, while at the same time the price of peach pie and condoms is on the rise. Coincidence? I think not. [via ComingSoon]

5 – Here’s a big End of the Page thanks to The Jaunty Scamp and his review of our Off the Ledge t-shirts. Also, much respect for the name, makes me want to go sailing, but in pursuit of something, not for relaxation. Aargh! [via Shirt On Me]

6 – When the slow motion version of this video happens, I’m fairly positive it’s the devil laughing. Listen at the risk of your immortal soul (or more closely you just might feel bad for laughing at the kid getting knocked out by an exercise ball). [via GorillaMask via Break]

7 – Taking part in the spirit of the day, YouTube has played a wonderful prank that will both scare and delight the mass populace. I’m not gonna give it away (or gonna give you up), but take a moment and jump over to YouTube, then try to play any of the Featured videos. I think you’ll enjoy it immensely.

8 – The other side of Happy-Go-Lucky Wonderland: [via CollegeHumor via Explosm]

9 – This is why I hate April Fool’s Day. I get shown things I actually wish were true (not that this is the most amazing trailer, but I applaud the work that went into such an elaborate hoax): [via FilmDrunk]

10 – Take that McEnroe! The stakes have been raised when it comes to on-court abuse, this time, it’s self-abuse. (Oh, and the crazy dude won the match after going on a seven point rally after this. Advantage = Crazy) [via With Leather]
