Downey & Zach Heading To Make a DUE DATE

Timed perfectly to go with today’s release on home video of The Hangover (more on that in today’s Awesome-O-Rama update), the interweb has brought us the first look at director Todd Phillips’ next flick, Due Date.

I’m unsure of the source of this screenshot (looks like a magazine scan of some type), but it shows the flick’s two leads Zach Galfinakis and Robert Downey Jr. in the midst of some type of hijinx. Yeah, Galifinakis and Downey. All this movie needs is an extended appearance by Patton Oswalt, and I’d have a raging nerd boner all the way to the theater.

One thing the flick HAS done, however, is reunite Downey with his Kiss Kiss Bang Bang costar Michelle Monaghan. Which also makes me super happy, as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang would rank high on my best of the 00′s list.

Due Date, which has Zach as a wannabe actor escorting Downey cross-country to arrive at his child’s birth, is due to hit theaters sometime next year.

The Coolest Looking PC. EVER.

Unfortunately, it’s not real. Yet.

This stunning Windows 7 PC is a concept offering designed by Dave Schultze, and it’s absolutely beautiful, as silly as a comment as that is to say with a computer.

Mixing 50′s form with an almost steampunk function (check out those sweet keyboard keys), you have a  computer that if it were real, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.  Especially considering how much my Windows desktop is crapping out at home.

Either way, it’s not a real computer you can buy, but given the hype this design has seen across the web in the past 24 hours, hopefully someone hires this guy to make these dreams a reality.
