Part of me wants to believe this is a cruel joke.  That, or the universe has decided to give Patton Oswalt new material, given that his new album My Weakness is Strong! releases on Tuesday.

Either way, this is PROOF that KFC is attempting to murder us all, after that wussy Kentucky Grilled Chicken cop-out.

That glorious “sandwich” above is called the KFC Double Down.  I put sandwich in quotes, as it doesn’t use bread, OH NO! TOO EASY!

If anything, it’s a bacon, cheese and Colonel’s Sauce sandwich, where instead of bread…it’s TWO FRIED CHICKEN FILETS. WHAT THE HELL.

Thus far, it only seems to be available in certain markets, but KFC is totally giving it the full marketing push, with commercials airing on local television (seen below).

KFC, you tried to kill me with the Famous Bowl, but by GOD, I will not let you kill me this way!

…but I do want to try one anyway.

Thanks, Ross, for making my Friday.

I need one.  Immediately.

EDIT: Just found it on eBay, with an image of the equally awesome front!

As far as I’m concerned, Zach Snyder is 3-for-3 when it comes to movies.

Loved the Dawn of the Dead remake, Loved 300, and was awed by the scope and risk in doing an adaptation of Watchmen (however flawed though it may be).  So, of course, I’m keeping an eye on his next project, Sucker Punch.

Already, he’s got a pretty solid cast.  Made up of pretty much all young female Hollywood, it’s the story of a girl who is placed into an asylum by her stepfather and is set to undergo a lobotomy.

She, along with her friends in the asylum, then enter an alternate reality to escape.  Sounds pretty wild, and knowing Snyder’s skill with mostly CG sets, this could be a feast for the eyes.  The official logo was revealed at San Diego Comic Con (shown above) and it’s an interesting piece of art, if nothing else.

Either way, I’ve just been sold a ticket, as Synder has lined up JON HAMM (!!!!) to join the cast, as a character named “High Roller”.

Aside from that, we have no details about the character, but I’ll be there, for sure.

Sucker Punch is set to hit theaters in 2011.

Above is the latest still from Iron Man 2.

Not that interesting, I’ll admit, but it’s a good look at Sam Rockwell (Frost/Nixon, Moon) as Justin Hammer.

The important part?

Dude is totally rocking the Bob Barker/Price Is Right mini mic.

SOLD.

Ask yourself something.  On the most basic of premises, would you be interested in seeing a movie about rival ballerinas?

Answer: Probably not.  The sheer idea alone reeks of straight to DVD or low-budgeted films that are one part Bring It On homage and one part teenybopper crap.

Now what if I told you Darren Aronofsky was working on a movie about rival ballerinas?

And that they weren’t just rival ballerinas, but the rival may be an imagined version of the ballerina herself?

And they were played by Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis?

Sounds pretty interesting, right?

That’s the idea behind Black Swan.  The flick has been talked about in Hollywood circles for some time, and if the linked to script review is any indication, it sounds like a slow burn psychological thriller, built around dance.

And hey, if that doesn’t sell you….how about this?

“In this movie, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have sex…And not just nice sweet innocent sex either. We’re talking ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry sex.”

Yeah, I thought that grabbed your attention.

Filming on Black Swan is scheduled to start this fall in New York City.
