מיצ’ל & ווב סיימו עכשיו עונה שניה של תוכנית המערכונים המוצלחת שלהם That Mitchell and Webb Look (תוכנית המערכונים השניה שלהם, כנראה שהם מצלמים אותן בהפסקות בין עונות של ה-Peep Show המופלאה). לפניכם מערכון מסדרת המערכונים היותר חביבה עלי (הייתי אפילו קורא לזה סוג של פאנפיק, אבל עם טוויסט לא כל כך בר הערכה, לא כל שכן הערצה):

ועכשיו בגרסה יותר מהוקצעת (זה נשמע שיר אחר לגמרי, אגב).

השמנים - חפשי אותי בגוגל

(הייתי צריך לשדרג את וורדפרס בשביל לכתוב את הפוסט הזה. החבר’ה שם, יש להם חוש הומור משונה).

ואגב, חפשי אותי עם מקף ומרכאות. השימוש במילה “מקף” בשיר הינו עם artistic license, ואין כוונת המשורר לטעון שהשימוש השלילי בסימן המינוס - המקף - אמור ליצור טרנד כלשהו. אני לדוגמא אוהב לחפש בעברית ובאנגלית יחדיו ככה (את עצמי כמובן).

My electric bill payment got blocked by the credit card company! What I do? Maybe go to their website, see what what.
But — what this?

Mr C the co-founder in the recently to be deceased club, London’s The End, has now put up his entire collection of vinyl on e-bay with a minimum asking price of £75,000. Mr C was quoted saying he his now moving to LA, where he plans to start an acting career, thus selling the vinyl collection, for me it seems just stupid to say goodbye to so much sentimental property, unless you really need the money, and it doesn’t seem like the case here. As for the lucky bidder, if you ...

Some dude on the Internet wrote the following about playing Amber:

Here’s a recipe for making yourself really miserable in ADRPG: Go in with a character that you enjoy because of his physical and mental abilities.

Here’s a recipe for making yourself really happy in ADRPG: Go in with a character that you enjoy because of the way they view their family members.

This game, more than (almost) any I’ve seen supports talking about other people: to their face, behind their back, eulogizing them, praising them, pitching them as prospects for the throne, using them as bogeymen to scare your rivals … and so on, ad infinitum.

That game, where you’re in a very constrained family with all sorts of powerful and abrasive personalities, is fun. The other game, where you’re a trans-dimensional ass-kicker but the GM randomly decides that you don’t have a strong enough grip to hang on to the back of a bucking black dragon, is really frustrating.

Back in the days before digital, DJs used to be sent promo records through the post. Some of it was decent, but a lot of it was crap. Then when digital arrived, the promos started arriving via email as downloadable links.The problem was, anybody with your email address could send you promos even if you didn’t want them, and sorting through them became a nightmare. That’s what Beatport’s new promo service, PromoOne, aims to fix. Having beta launched last month, PromoOne offers DJs and labels with a way to connect in ...

Zack Snyder’s revelation that the ending of the Watchmen movie will omit the extradimensional cephalophod of the comics has inspired an <airquotes>internet backlash</airquotes>:

[via LMG, I think].

Reading the interview in the first link I think they’ve actually got a more elegant ending than the one in the graphic novel. Certainly better than Sam Hamm’s solution (repeat after me: Time Travel is never the answer).

And I like the trailer better, after repeated viewings. It’s easy to be pessimistic and cynical, but let’s not forget that Zack Snyder is second only to Robert Rodriguez in realizing a comic creator’s artistic vision faithfully on film.

Uhh.
