Amazing, brilliant movie. Colorful, vivid, emotional, touching, adventurous, courageous, funny. It is the best animated movie since Wall-E. Period.
Note: It is worth seeing in Disney Digital 3-D. It is not the “pop-out and make you sick” type of 3-D; rather, the 3-D effects simply add depth to the movie, making the experience more believable.
Yes, this is a wall made up entirely of electrical outlets. Imagine a living room without any power strips or tangled cables. Keeps all your electronics neat and tidy. My type of setup. And aesthetically, it doesn’t look half bad. For now, this is just a concept created by photographer David Friedman.

John Hodgeman, best known for his role as “PC” in the Apple commercials, presented a speech at the Radio and Television Correspondents Association Dinner. The speech is directed at President Obama, who Hodgeman considers a nerd at heart. He says, “This is a historic moment…some people say [Obama] is the first nerd president of the modern era.” It’s a good watch.
I just listened to the new Black Eyed Peas’ album, The E.N.D, in its entirety. It is a great collection of ecclectic beats and catchy, modern lyrics from will.i.am, Fergie, Taboo, and apl.de.ap. Singles “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling” are obviously big highlights from the album. However, there are other notable songs that should be mentioned. These include “Missing You,” “Electric City,” and “Now Generation.” The E.N.D. is very different from the first two albums from the Black Eyed Peas, in a good way. The songs are built around autotune tweaks and heavy bass beats. People could say the album was made to be played in clubs; although this is a valid opinion, I believe it is definitely good enough to be listened to on your iPod or blasted through your car stereo. It is a fun album and worth a listen. Click here to preview, purchase and download The E.N.D.. Check after the break (click “more…”) for a bonus! Continue reading The E.nergy N.ever D.ies, it doesn't
Here’s a little Easter Egg embedded in Mac OS X. If you have a Mac, try it out.
The dudes. Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer. You know Andy from Saturday Night Live. His two friends, Jorm and Kiv, are writers for the show. Together they are known as The Lonely Island.
They started as writers for the MTV Movie Awards. Fellow SNL cast member Jimmy Fallon discovered them when he hosted the MTV Movie Awards many years ago. The rest is history.
The Dudes are known for their genius work in the SNL Digital Shorts. It started with “Lettuce,” hit a strong stride with “Jizz in my Pants” and “I’m on a Boat” (feat. T-Pain), and has let to their latest creations, “Motherlover” and “Cool Guys Don’t Look at Explosions.” That lastest video was shown during the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, which Andy Samberg hosted.
Their debut comic album Incredibad is a must-buy. Songs include “Dick in a Box,” “Natalie’s Rap,” “Space Olympics,” and others you may not have heard before, including “Sax Man” (feat. Jack Black) and their retrospective piece, “Incredibad.” Not only is every song funny, but each has its own creative hip-hop beat that beautifully and hilariously mocks the hip-hop and rap genres. Utilizing auto-tune over their witty verses, the Dudes have created a unique work of art that stems from their personal lives and today’s society. Simply put, it is very funny, good music. Preview and purchase it on iTunes here.
Check after the break (click “more…”) for a large collection of some of my favorite songs and videos by The Lonely Island. Also, be sure to check out their YouTube page for all of their work. Some of their early videos (pre-SNL) are hilarious. Keep it coming, Dudes. Continue reading THE LONELY ISLAND :: The Ultimate Collection
I totally lost it at time mark :40. Keep in mind, as bizzare as this is, it is very real.
*For you Metal Gear Solid fans out there.
I know, you can’t help yourself from laughing and singing along. Have fun trying to get this out of your head. Keyboard cat, FTW!
“Pushing Daisies” is the most vibrant, colorful, over-the-top spectacular, and emotionally interesting television series I have ever watched. The visual design, quirkiness, fast-paced dialogue, and music of every episode leaves you laughing and filled with all things happy when the murder cases come to a steady close by the touch of the Pie-Maker’s finger. The tension between Ned and Chuck not being able to touch brings you closer to the characters and creates such a unique connection between fictional people and real life. If you haven’t seen it or heard of it, do yourself a favor and buy Seasons 1 & 2. Note: Bryan Fuller, series creator, has stated that he is working with DC Comics to release a 12-issue comic series that will continue and finalize the Pushing Daisies story. And don’t forget the “Pushing Daisies movie” rumor.
From the great words spoken by narrator Jim Dale: “At that moment, in the town of Couer d’ Couers, events occurred that are not, were not, and should never be considered an ending, for endings, as it is known, are where we begin.” Pushing Daisies.
Ned the Pie Maker. Chuck Charles the Dead Girl. Emerson Cod the P.I.. Olive Snook the Itty Bitty. Lily & Vivian Charles the aunts. Digby the dog. Narrator Jim Dale. You will truly be missed. Continue reading Pushing Daisies
