Here’s a treat to brighten your day. The awkward comic stylings of Richard Simmons.

A great friend tweeted this and I was laughing my ass off. Enjoy.

I love these mashups of overused Hollywood devices. Of course, I cannot blame Hollywood because we are to blame. We are the ones who crave the predictability in our movies and TV shows. Life just isn’t that convenient so we retreat to the world of fantasy.

This animation is really great. I love the colors, the drawings…it’s all damn amazing. It’s inspiring, this music video.

If I would have posted this Sunday night when I found it, you wouldn’t have already seen it on 4 other sites on Monday, huh?

The other night I watched The Great Debate on VH1 with bunni3burn. One of the debates was James Spader vs. Billy Zabka. Obviously, Billy won best villain, hands down. It reminded me of this video I saw a while back.

I saw this over the weekend and I see it making the rounds, but I am just going to post it to fit in. Hodgman does his best to test Obama’s geek credentials.

I have always enjoyed his take on ‘meh.’ Since I use that way too much.

Just when you thought it was a not so clever, shabbily put together video by College Humor you find out is real. So, yes there is a game based on Grey’s Anatomy. The fact that it is awful should be no surprise, however what is surprising to these folks, whoever they are, is the way in which the game is awful. The horridness comes from the game play rather then from the show’s weak writing and plots.

For example, perhaps you disagree with my take on the show? Well if you were playing this game you would get 2 choices to respond to my comments, cook me dinner or make out. Hardly seems fair, unless you know me. Then, you’ll wonder why you can’t do both.

Oh, did I forget to mention it was for the Wii? I wonder if Meridith will get a mustache ride from Mario?

It seems like each week brings another announcement that Hollywood will do a remake of something awful & unoriginal. That seems like a job I could easily do. Let me pitch a film version of Riptide to them:

The show has everything, cool dudes with guns, a geek, a robot, a hot car, a boat, a helicopter and plenty of opportunities for clever use of slow motion and jump cuts! Did I mention the boat? Boat equals water which means chicks in bikinis. A total box office win! What’s that? ‘What is the movie about?’ Bikinis, gunplay & geeks! A plot would just get in the way.

If you aren’t willing to take a chance with Riptide then you should remake the short lived Misfits of Science! Get yourself some of that mutant/Heroes money. People with superpowers helping others always makes bank. Maybe you can get Courtney Cox to do a cameo in the film. Also, make sure you list the middle names of at least 50% of the cast. I am pretty sure that will make or break the film.
