More Trek Wars

I'm not sure I'll ever tire of these Star Trek/Star Wars mashups. It's the most enduring and hotly debated rivalry in all of Geekdom, for whatever that's worth. I like calling them the Trek Wars. You could also call them, say, Star Star, but that's just silly.
Here's an extremely well done scene I found at StupidVideos.com, in which I'd have to say Star Wars is, uh, definitely winning. The Stormtrooper fist bump makes the video. Root for your team in...Death Star vs. Enterprise.

Bizarro Video: Peter Serafinowicz

Peter Serafinowicz: 50 Impressions, 2 Mins

Hello again, Readers I'm Not Sure Are Actually There At All Even Though I Keep Talking To You As If You Were. Today's Bizarro Video was shipped to us all the way from a magical land called Great Britain, also known as England or, sometimes, the U.K. The subject is Peter Serafinowicz, one of my favorite comedians of recent times. He's been in some movies you may have heard of, such as Shaun of the Dead (Pete) and Star Wars (The voice of Darth Maul). He was also once in an episode of Little Britain, a feat he'd not repeat. Ever. I don't know why, I love that show. Anyway, here he is doing 50 impressions in 2 minutes. The fact that these are impressions of people he made up does not detract from the comedic value of this video. Watch, laugh, repeat. And please, leave me some comments so I know you're there! I'm so lonely...

The Trek Wars continue unabated.

Dearest Dedicated Readers, have you seen the new Star Trek film? Did it seem a bit, oh, I don't know, familiar in some way? Well, here's why. Good old CollegeHumor.com has exposed this juggernaut for what it is. Which is a total rip of Episode IV.

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad Vader.

Good evening, Dedicated Readers. I hope you read and enjoyed my little manifesto yesterday. Most coherent thing I've been able to write in a long time. I'd like to thank my friend Gamble from my digital home away from home, HissTank.com, for the inspiration.
Anywhom, Today I figured I'd lighten things up a bit, geek out (yeah, like that's a change) and post one of my favorite Star Wars videos. Darth Vader has been cooped up in that suit far too long. In this particular alternate galaxy far far away, by the time the Rebels rise up to defeat the Empire, he's gone absolutely batty. In our reality, it's actually just James Earl Jones' voice from other movies pasted into Star Wars scenes, with hilarious result. I know this is a few years old, and you've probably seen this already. But this is my site, and I'll put what I like! (I love saying that!) And nobody can deny this one never gets old. Use the Force with...The Vader Sessions.

I am what I am.

I'm Foolproof. Real name's Jason. My life's work, my mission, if you will, is to build a better fool. I'll be the best fool I can possibly be when I die. And if I can help others be better fools along the way, all the better.
Because isn't that really the human condition? We spend all our lives lying to ourselves, convincing ourselves that it's not that bad, the world isn't really that savage of a place. We learn differently on a regular basis. So we try even harder to distract ourselves with anything we can find to make it all hurt a little less. Some of us can't unsee the horrors we've seen. If we're lucky, we can integrate these cold, soulless things into ourselves and still function well enough to go on day after day.
These things we do, art, technology, sports, whatever it is you do, these distractions, they are what make us human. To fool yourself is to be human, and therefore I will always be building a better fool.

Bizarro Video: Feed The Gods

White Zombie - Feed the Gods

Do you remember the days before Rob Zombie made movies? The days before he sold his crappy solo brand of dance metal on the merit of his videos alone? I do. He was frontman of a band called White Zombie, and they were absolutely fantastic. After struggling through 4 unsuccessful, mostly flavorless albums, they released 2 metal gems in a row upon the unsuspecting public before breaking up for a reason that isn't good enough, whatever that reason was. Don't get me wrong, Dedicated Readers, I love his movies. But I love White Zombie even more. This video is from the Airheads soundtrack, a beauteous add-in to an altogether cheesy as hell movie. But I love it anyway. The song and the movie. Rock your face in with...Feed the Gods.

The Abyss Gazes Also

So, Dedicated Readers, have you read Watchmen? I'm about halfway through, and...Wow. What a fantastic book. I just started chapter 6, so I just got through with the part about Rorschach, Moloch and the police. I am Jack's unwavering interest. This story has everything. Well, maybe not everything, but more than enough. It's also the most twisted, dark, and just...unsettling thing I've read in a long time, which is just my style. I was unaware that it would keep me up till 4am every night, unable to sleep because I have to know what happens next. I'm not even really huge on comics, I'm usually a "books with no pictures" kind of guy. But the story of the masked vigilantes couldn't have been told better than it has by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

I refuse to watch the movie until I finish this book. Maybe twice. I want to take in all the details.

Brick love lamp.

I had a tough time choosing a good video today, Dedicated Readers. But I was talking to Reverend Eric today and he's never seen the majestic Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, so my mouse settled upon this gem. Marvel if you will at the genius that is Steve Carell playing the funniest role I've ever seen him in: Brick Tamland, weatherman for Channel 4 San Diego. You stay classy, Dedicated Readers.
