These heroes in a halfshell should be available everywhere June 6th.
Great dance party to a great dance party song at a great birthday party at a great house with great friends made for a great night.
I don’t know where you were or what you were doing Saturday night, but if you weren’t in this room losing your mind to Icona Pop, then you didn’t do your weekend right.
“There’s never been an episode of Southland as breathlessly terrifying as “Chaos,”” writes Kevin McFarland for the AV Club review. And he continues later with, “that is the saddest, most grotesque rug-pull of a scene scene Southland has ever achieved.”
And he later ends with “but in any case it’s an exceedingly sad and visceral episode of television. This season has been John Cooper’s story, and after the personal high of reconnecting with his ex-wife and planning to raise a child, Southland dug deep for a cavernous low point, illustrating once again how the good and bad go hand in hand for the LAPD.”
Those are the pull quotes, but let me tell you: last night Southland hit it out of the park. In a season of home runs and great hits, (hell, in a series of them), last night’s episode remains a harrowing, haunting, can’t-look-away-yet-can’t-watch, astonishing episode of television.
You are doing yourself a strong disservice if you are not watching this show.
We covered simple minds for Cougar Town Episode #413
For the “The Breakfast Club”/John Hughes tribute episode of Cougar Town, “The Criminal Mind”, Waz delivered this gorgeous cover of Simple Minds “Don’t You (Forget About Me)”.
It’s really just the best.
Won’t you come see about me?
I’ll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Car-Jumper Ep 7 - Behind the Scenes Go Pro Shot
So when we did the one-shot episode of Car-Jumper, BK clipped a Go Pro onto his Glidecam rig and pointed it back at himself, I think to prove that we did it all in one shot. It turned out pretty neat, so I did a little split-screen with the episode. You can see fun stuff, like Alex trying to flag off the screen for BK or me bumping into BK, screwing up the shot. Neat!
The most amazing five minutes of video produced in the last month gets even more amazing with this behind the scenes go pro shot. Again, kudos to all involved.
This was a fun one. About twenty of us drove out to Victorville to make this happen.
Directed by me. Written and produced with Spencer Strauss. Shot on a Glidecam by Brian King. Awesome score by Ryan Elder. VFX by Sevan Najarian. Starring Jim Klimek, Chase Fein, Brenan Campbell, and Emma Koenig. Some awesome Road Warriors. Some awesome dead bodies. And Baxter the puppy! (FULL CREDITS HERE.)
This was a magnificent achievement, bravo to all involved, and far and away hands down a better conceived, shot and directed episode than the third season finale of The Walking Dead.
This was yesterday, Saturday, at WonderCon in Anaheim.
It’s a living, breathing, real, life-size, noise-making, arm-moving, track-rolling WALL-E.
There were TWO of them.
They were built and controlled by Mike Senna, and his website is here, and he also builds R2 units that are just as fantastic.
I saw a lot of amazing things at WonderCon; I saw a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 and I saw a man dressed as Robocop and I saw a lot of really terrible an really awesome cosplay, but watching Wall-E roll around and speak and EXIST…
It was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.
Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.
The band in Heaven plays my favorite song.
They play it once again, they play it all night long.
Always reblog Talking Heads, always.

Everyone, sooner or later, gets a thorough schooling in brokenness. The question becomes: What to do with the pieces? Some people hunker down atop the local pile of ruins and make do, Bedouin tending their goats in the shade of shattered giants. Others set about breaking what remains of the world into bits ever smaller and more jagged, kicking through the rubble like kids running through piles of leaves. And some people, passing among the scattered pieces of that great overturned jigsaw puzzle, start to pick up a piece here, a piece there, with a vague yet irresistible notion that perhaps something might be done about putting the thing back together again.
Two difficulties with this latter scheme at once present themselves. First of all, we have only ever glimpsed, as if through half-closed lids, the picture on the lid of the jigsaw puzzle box. Second, no matter how diligent we have been about picking up pieces along the way, we will never have anywhere near enough of them to finish the job. The most we can hope to accomplish with our handful of salvaged bits—the bittersweet harvest of observation and experience—is to build a little world of our own. A scale model of that mysterious original, unbroken, half—remembered. Of course the worlds we build out of our store of fragments can be only approximations, partial and inaccurate. As representations of the vanished whole that haunts us, they must be accounted failures. And yet in that very failure, in their gaps and inaccuracies, they may yet be faithful maps, accurate scale models, of this beautiful and broken world. We call these scale models “works of art.”

Winter is coming… April 11th for series two of these Funko POP! vinyl figures.
GPOY.
Oh em gee this is fantastic.
Croissant de Triomphe is the first of 19 new Mickey Mouse shorts, made for the web/TV. I love this style, I love the story, I love everything about this.
I cannot wait for the rest.
