Threadless Monday Delivers With 2 Sweet Tees!

This week, I think it’s safe to say my favorite t-shirt site outdid themselves with 2 shirts that combine two of my favorite things – sweets and pop culture references!

The first shirt, “Something Strange, In Your Beverage…” by David Staffel, depicts a hot cup of Cocoa, just BUSTIN’ full of Marshmellows!

The second, “Cookies” by Tang Yongfa, mixes a video game classic, the best children’s show ever, and delicious cookies, for another great tee.

Any way you look at it, they’re two shirts I’d love to have in my wardrobe.  And if you click the images for each, you can pick them up yourself!

The Most Amazing Lego Build EVER: FUTURAMA’s New New York!

Filed Under: across the net, tv
Jul.05, 2010

As you’ve probably gathered, I’m quite the LEGO fan.

While I don’t indulge in building custom creations anymore, I can still lose hours looking at some of the amazing builds of different creators all across the web.

This, however, may be the most amazing custom build I’ve ever seen.

Put together by Flickr user “Pepa Quin”, they went well above and beyond the call of duty, creating every major building from the Futurama series, mini-figures of every major character, and pieced it together in a jawdroppingly detailed diorama of New New York.

I’ve embedded a slideshow of the city above, but there are individual galleries for each building that underline how meticulous the build really is.

As a LEGO nerd and a Futurama fan, I cannot begin to describe how giddy looking at this makes me feel.  Maybe someone at LEGO is seeing this, and we’ll see the real deal one day. I’ll buy it!

I Know You’re Being Produced By Apatow, But What Am I?

Filed Under: movies, tv

Coming hot off the heels of the live-show revival, Pee Wee Herman continues to regain his much needed modern relevance, with a brand new motion picture…

…to be produced by comedy super-producer Judd Apatow.

Set to be scripted Pee-Wee himself, Paul Reubens, along side actor/writer Paul Rust (I Love You Beth Cooper), this third Pee-Wee adventure is once again set on the road. Apatow will not be directing the flick, only producing, but with his touch, it’s sure to be another modern-day classic.

Little more is known about the movie at this time, but as an 80′s kid, I cannot wait to see Pee Wee on the big screen again. I’ll be leading the Tequila dance into the theater.

GREEN HORNET Trailer Is SUPER Disappointing

Filed Under: comics, movies, tv
Jun.22, 2010

Sometimes, the combination of all the right ingredients does not a good meal make.

And it seems, if this trailer is any indication, the same can be said for creative people and films.

When the Green Hornet movie was first announced, my eyes rolled.  Set as a superhero film to be written/directed by Kevin Smith, my brain recalled the cheesy TV show,  and pretty much figured it a wash.

Then, major changes struck the project…

The lead role and writing duties? Taken by Seth Rogen.

The director? Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Be Kind Rewind).

The main villain? Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Basterds).

The lead female interest? Cameron Diaz. …ok, so it’s not completely awesome, but I’ll deal.

And then the rumors came that the studio disliked the film. My thoughts at the time were that of thinking the heads at Sony were just thrown off by the film being created by an innovative director in Gondry.

Then…the movie got pushed into January, which is never good.

And today, the trailer was released.

What a bland looking movie. Not good, not bad, but BLAND.  Where is the Gondry feel? Where is Rogen’s charisma? More so – why does a trailer designed to make a film look good, actively bore me?

Either this is a poorly put together trailer…or Sony has good reason for pushing Green Hornet into January 2011.

Guess we’ll find out.

MAD MEN Season 4 Poster Is Minimalist By Choice

Filed Under: tv
Jun.21, 2010

Sure, I’m already counting the days to July 16th (Inception) and August 13th (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), but now I can add July 25th to the dates worth noting…as it’s the date of the premiere for Mad Men Season 4!

And what better way to announce it than with a new poster?

Sure, the image is nowhere near as evocative of last year’s Don Draper trying to literally keep his head above water, but it underlines how this is truly a clean slate for Don, in all ways.

No wife, a new company, a new world…but why is he looking out that window?

I guess we’ll find out in just 33 days.

About That BLUE BEETLE TV Tease

Filed Under: comics, tv
Jun.21, 2010

So, last week, I posted about Geoff Johns telling the world via the twitters that a Blue Beetle TV series was being passed around in Hollywood, and that there was test footage, to possibly be showcased at San Diego Comic Con.

Now, while this may still be in the books, Johns kinda decided to rain on his own parade (or, more likely, continue to build hype) by releasing a series of stills from the aforementioned test footage.

Never wanting to keep things to myself, I’ve made a gallery of those images here.

What do I think? For images that are mostly unclear and not completely finished, it looks like a great live action version of the modern Beetle.

Let’s say we see that in motion, yes?

A First Look At THE SMURFS

Filed Under: movies, tv
Jun.16, 2010

Man, USA Today is getting all the exclusives these days!

Today, we have the first official still from the 3D CG/Live Action theatrical version of The Smurfs.

This technically isn’t our first look at the movie, as a horrifying image of Hank Azaria as Gargamel hit the web a bit ago, but it is the first official still of the flick released combining the CG Smurfs (who look pretty much like they did in the ‘toon) with a live action locale.

The initial teaser trailer is supposed to hit the web tomorrow, with it being attached to Toy Story 3 in theaters this weekend.

Personally, I never enjoyed The Smurfs growing up, so I can’t say that I’m looking forward to this (at all), but considering the mixture of talent they gathered together to star in this (Neil Patrick Harris, John Oliver, BJ Novak, etc.) the script has to be decent…right?

The Smurfs is due to hit theaters August 3, 2011.

WALKING DEAD Update: Rick Grimes Revealed!

Filed Under: comics, tv
Jun.15, 2010

The latest update from the production of AMC’s TV adaptation of The Walking Dead is one that I know fans have been waiting for – our first look at actor Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, the lead of the Robert Kirkman penned zombie tale.

This is obviously from very early on in the series, as well, Rick isn’t all beat up yet, but they have him nailed perfectly.

In fact, I think this same shot, or one very similar was in the comic. Doesn’t the open highway just creep you out a bit?

The Walking Dead premieres on AMC in October.
