Beat Dropping Macs to Baz’s Outback Epic: A day in the life of…(5/20)

2 – Fraggle Rock: The Live Action Musical, man that just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Off the bat you might think this is a crazy idea, but when Iron Man, Narnia, Inidana Jones and Wall-E prove complete and utter dominance over the box office, we can see why family films are the “green” way to go. All I really want to see in this is the Fraggles eat some Doozer buildings, which causes the Doozers to begin a Che-like revolution against their furry, multi-colored oppressors. Now that’s comedy.

3 – Watch the video attached to this page, then go outside and light up. I dare you. [via JoshSpear]

4 – This is generally how I feel about Monday mornings. [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

5 – Jonah Hill has been on a wild ride these past few years. Stealing scenes and winning over comedy critics in many of Judd Apatow’s recent hits, like Knocked Up, Superbad and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but now he’s making a step I could never have seen coming. He is reportedly heading up the project, and writing the script, for a silver screen version of 21 Jump Street. I’m not one to knock the show, it brought us Johnny Depp, Dustin Nguyen and Peter Deluise, not to mention a killer theme song by actress/star Holly Robinson Peete, but I don’t know if this is something that translates well. Narc’ing in high schools and busting pot rings might not hold the weight. Yet, if there is a Booker cameo by Richard Grieco, or if he actually turns out to be the villain, now we’re talking gold.

6 – This six minutes of stop motion animation must have taken months, but it’s worth years. [via GorillaMask via Liquid Generation]

7 – Foamy is back and this time I only have one word to say: cow-mouflage. [via ill will press]

8 – Have you ever wondered what “the good times” looked like? Check out this news video and learn. Pay close attention to the crawler on the bottom of the screen. [via swissmiss]

9 – Just in case you were wondering where Wile E. Coyote got all those neat gadgets, most of which he almost killed himself trying to use, here you go: The Online ACME Catalog. [via GorillaMask]

10 – It’s been years since we heard the beginning of this project, but we have finally got our first taste of Baz Luhrmann’s next epic film, Australia. Mmmmm, tastes like quality movie making to me. [via ComingSoon]

Thursday morning musings 2/14

1) INDY TRAILER! INDY TRAILER! INDY TRAAAAAAAIIIIIIIILERRRRR!

2) Phew, now that I have woken up again after passing out from sheer joy, let’s continue with the day. Happy Valentine’s Day to you, yours and theirs.

3) I’m a huge fan of Guitar Hero, but after seeing this kid play the game, I might hang my guitar shaped controller in shame. Or I could film a crazy training montage as I build myself into the greatest player in the world! Only time will tell…

4) Kathleen Turner has responded to Nic Cage’s lawsuit by saying she’s sorry. In her words, “Those were my thoughts at the time. I never meant to hurt or damamge anyone.” So it was only in her thoughts that he was drunk driving all the time and only in her thoughts that he stole someones dog. That all makes perfect sense.

5) The WGA is back to work and the shows are getting their seasons figured out again. A good number of shows will only finish the scripts that were in production when the strike hit and start building for next season now, but some are just going to wait it out and come back fresh. Life, Chuck and Heroes seem to be in the latter category. I would love to see more Chuck as soon as possible, but I’m glad that Heroes is staying off the air and NBC is planning to “relaunch” the series. Anything that can erase the awful aftertaste of last season is a smart move.

6) The pic is really nothing new in the form of how Wolverine is going to look, but my inner comic book geek is still tweaking out over this on set shot from the upcoming X-Men prequel.

7) I wonder if these dudes saw the grocery store version of this last week? In a battle of one versus the other, I give it to these guys for incorporating the wind-up frog in the bathtub. MacGuyver would be proud.

Restless legs dominos

I only made it through about 4 verses of this before starting to cry laughing. Some wonderfully insane people have decided to try and translate teh Bible into LOLCat language. This could be the beginning of a one-world-religion.

9) Casting Alert: People are whispering about a possible cameo from Al Pacino in the next Bond film, Quantum of Solace. I have no idea in what fashion this will appear, but if Pacino gets into a gun battle with Bond I might just have to forgive the whole franchise for casting Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist. Maybe…

10) With the WGA heading back to work, many movies are trying to figure out if they can stay with their original release dates. JJ’s Star Trek is the first major movie to get pushed back from its Christmas release date to May 2009. I wonder if they are thinking to themselves, “Do we have time to recast this thing? What the hell were we thinking!?!?!”
