I was humming oooooh la la baby randomly today. This is a song by a little french kid talking about how hard it is to be a baby. Well – it’s embarrassing that I was singing about it or thinking about it. Anyways, Hawkes asks me what I’m singing. I say – you don’t remember Jordy?! Then I realized… maybe…

So today, I came across this trailer on IMDB. It’s a film called Donkey Punch. Wait, wait… don’t just breeze by that bit of information. Take a moment and really let that sink in. From the look of it, it most definitely refers to what you think it does and… well, you just have to watch it…
I just… I have no…

Does the credit crisis have you confused? Have you recently been in a discussion about the economy or job market and felt out of your league? Do you suffer from glazed eyes when people talk about mortgages? Unless you’ve read through enough newspapers it can be a little difficult to get a grasp of the damned thing. Well – at…

I don’t usually post music (there are other, wiser PopTenners manning that department) but this falls into my area of expertise. Give it ’til the one minute mark to see why.
It looks like our old friend Guinness has decided to step away from the seven-foot-long fingernails for a second, and try his luck quantifying video games.
Respectfully, sir, I think I speak for all gamers when I say- stay the hell away. Your list is contaminated with fail.
For example, the #1 game of all time? Super Mario Kart. Yes, racing Yoshi…
Behold- one amputee’s letter to WETA Workshop (those fabulous Lord of the Rings FX gods) inspired them to make her a fully functional mermaid tail and suit!
Not some fake-looking plasticky contraption, an honest-to-god realistic mermaid tail that she can operate with the powers of her brains.
I hope she now devotes her life to pranking the shit out of sailors…
A few surefire methods for inducing that depression you’ve been staving off all winter.
1) Study the economic crisis closely and/or the state of popular music and radio.
2) Re-watch old SNL episodes from the early 90s that you could’ve sworn were gut-bustingly hilarious.
3) Check out this list of 80s crushes, and finally accept the truth about the ravages of time’s inexorable pull…

In the wake of the 81st Academy Awards telecast, it has become apparent that many of us who reside on the colder end of the country, far away from the hallucinogenic fumes of Hollywood, have come to regard the ceremony with a variable amount of disdain. A small tragedy, in my eyes, since the awards are something I’m sure we have all,…
Chris, Juan and I were hanging out with our DC homebrew Trevor, and after a very grueling week, we had to give a presentation in front of some VIPs at the crack of dawn. When the presentation was over and the monumental weight was lifting off our shoulders, we were crossing the street and Trevor, slapping the air in front…
Matt Ellsworth and I met while making Second Skin, a documentary I directed on virtual worlds. He’s one of the boys from Indiana who loves to game. Our conversations over the years have led to a few things, one of them was finding a common love for Johnnie Walker Black Label, and the second was a penchant for postulating about…
The geek have officially inherited the Earth, as was prophesied in Psalms 37:7 (more or less) so many bearded men ago. It’s a fairly recent thing, having happened somewhere between Google’s ascent to ubiquity, the second installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the eyebrow-raising popularity of Weird Al’s White & Nerdy. And since history is told by the…
How much does James Cameron ride George Lucas’ dick? Only enough to base an entire movie, Avatar, on the final battle sequence from the last good film in the Star Wars franchise, Return of the Jedi. Each film has its ragtag band of native creatures, each film pits basic bush weaponry against mechanized slaughter machines, each film has exploding trees.…
Come with me, friends, to another time. Let’s say 1998ish. Ross and Rachel rule the airwaves, ER is hailed as the Best Drama Evar. As the sun sets on Seinfeld, critics mourn its passing, proclaiming that we’re not likely to see a show of its brilliance ever again.
I watched an episode of Seinfeld yesterday. It’s still funny, despite the canned…
I sincerely hope I made every attempt to be fair and honest and if I left off a film you love, please know that it was not with malice and there are only ten spots. I even split them into two genres because taking any of these off the list kind of made my heart hurt. Also, feel free to…
