Asshole of the Week
See Ya Sundee...
The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.
- Fact: a news article that includes the real, serious quote "We are fed up with these drunk rats" is a good news article. (Via Sarah)
- Remember when we posted way back about the fact that 7-Eleven was going to turn some of its stores into honest to God Kwik-E-Marts as part of a Simpsons Movie promotion? Well, it's really happened. Our fellow -Isters in LA and DC have seen them and taken photos. Drawn also has a link to a Flickr set of photos. Let us know if you see a Kwik-E-Mart around here, and by all means, snap some photos if you do!
- Not long after the exciting news about the giant, man-sized penguins of the ancient past (or "manguins" as we like to call them) comes news that a 150-pound-or-more bird used to fly the skies over South American some six million years ago. It was only the biggest bird ever. Awesome.
- Do you like beer? Do you also have no dignity or self-respect? Then Git-R-Done is the beer for you! It's the Larry the Cable Guy beer! (Via Sarah)
- Mega Man has problems. You will laugh at his problems now. (Via Asterios)
- Alien vs. Predator 2 has a new title! It's Aliens vs. Predator. Did you see what they did there?!
- New, super-long, supposedly spoiler-filled trailer for Sunshine can be found here.
- Prepare to be excited, video game geeks: Capcom is working on a new 2D fighter! But will it really be new, or will it just be Street Fighter 2: The Same Game Again, But Slightly Different? Only time will tell...
- A new poll lists The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time as the best video game of all time. Really? That Zelda? We've played better. Anyway, the full top ten can be found here.
- Sounds like a cap on minimum payments for webstream channels might make internet radio feasible again.
- We've said it before and we'll say it again: God bless the Japanese! When they make a statue to commemorate a man's life and the revitalization of a city, it isn't a boring representation of some guy: it's an 18-foot tall shiny blue robot named Gigantor! Rocking!
- Rumors are coming out now about the crew behind J. J. Abrams' mysterious monster movie, Cloverfield. Bryan Burk is supposedly producing, Drew Goddard is writing, and Matt Reeves is directing.
- Warner Bros. is searching for people who look like famous historical figures that they can cast in Watchmen. Click through for the list, then check the mirror to see if you resemble any of those folks. If you do, you might want to hop a plane to Hollywood!
- Kylie Minogue will be playing a major lead role in the Doctor Who Christmas special being film this month in Cardiff.
- Rob Schmidt will apparently be directing a film adaptation of Stephen King's Insomnia. We remember rather enjoying the book more than your average Stephen King novel, so this should be interesting.
- The year is halfway over, and that means it's time for The Movie Blog to pick the 10 worst films of 2007, so far. This Phillyist has managed to avoid seeing any of these films, so we can't offer much an opinion on the list. But just based on the ads we're pretty sure Epic Movie would have made our list, too.
