New Tron: Legacy Trailer – Even My Mother Is Excited!

Disney have been taking their sweet time creating their latest trailer for Tron 2, now called Tron: Legacy. It almost seems worth it…

This is all well and good, but you’re going to have to wait until December to watch the full film. In the mean time, you could head to the ARG over at Flynn Lives and maybe have a good time at a random meet-up or scavenger hunt…

(As for my mother, she remembers and enjoyed the original film, and as soon as I saw this I called her and heard her reactions to the trailer as it played. She loves the look of the Tank.)

Damnit, why did you have to kick me back into my Rube Goldberg video habit, OK Go!? Why did you have to do the This Too Shall Pass video again? It was fine with the marching band and covert trombonists, but now you’re triggering my addiction again. Grrr….

Also, Happy Monday!

The genius that wrote Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has done another mash-up, turning Abraham Lincoln into a hunter of vampires. PAPAZ is a great book, I have no idea what Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter is like, but I love the trailer for it on Youtube…

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, Except On The Radio

It’s the days before Valentine’s Day. You’re ready to propose to your girlfriend. Sadly, it seems your girlfriend is already occupied. So, what do you do? Why, ring into a radio station and dump her for cheating on you live on air…

For 12 glorious minutes, 105.7 The Point was the scene for an explosive dumping. Woody and Rizzuto did a masterful bait and switch, making the victim go from stupidly happy and in tears to stupidly unhappy and in tears.

This is how you do decent radio…

Happy Monday! – North Korean Traffic Cops

I’ll take a wild guess and say that your job (if you are in employment, that is) involves repetition of a boring task, and some of you probably don’t want to do it anymore. Well, spare a thought for the North Korean traffic cops such as in this video.

Good morning and Happy Monday!

Here’s a new attempt at a regular bit… Something For The Weekend. SFTW for short. Hey, that’s kinda cool…
Every Friday, I’m going to attempt to blow your minds with a gallery of something amazingly amazing. Yes, that amazing.

This week, from PBH3 “Oh, The Things We Do To Pugs“, which kinda makes me want to watch the Men In Black films again.

Conan O’Brien, the world’s greatest late-night talkshow host, has now got a Twitter. He’s @conanobrien, and yet has somehow managed (at this time of writing at least) 385,000 followers after posting just 3 tweets in as many days.

Yes, he is popular. But will he become more popular than @Oprah? I at least hope so…
