Yes! After a while of no blog content, it’s pointless linkage time again!
- A horrible quality trailer for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Never has Johnny Depp looked more gay. Or make that Gay. G-A-Y, even. My instinctive, deep-seated hatred for that story, which I have never actually read, perhaps innoculated into me by my saintly mother, remains unabated.
- Yadda yadda boingboing links to deleted sex scene from Team America (link round-up here). No sound, but marvel at how acrobatic those puppets can be. The only people degraded in the making of this were the puppetters and the members of the MPAA, who had to rate the movie.
- Amendments to the Pub Crawl by Jason Roeder is a bit of a laugh:
This might be a good time to mention the disco bus. As it turns out, the company doesn’t run it on Sundays. But I’ve got my Hyundai Accent. And my sister says she’ll try to lend me the strobe light her daughter had left over from last year’s Drama Club haunted house. I’m not sure if that’s the kind of thing I can plug into the cigarette lighter, though.
We have a pro-vs.-con situation. On one hand, the Accent, unlike the bus, is equipped with side-impact airbags. But on the other hand, since I can’t fit more than five people in my car, the rest of you maniacs will have to cruise with my grandfather. He’s agreed to drive provided that you comport yourselves like ladies and gentlemen, and that you not go on and on about his snoring. He also has several meteorological phobias, one of which is good weather, the ominous atmospheric state that always immediately precedes bad weather.
- A site devoted to the 1966 Batman TV show and movie, for all your Shark-Repellent Bat-Spray needs. From the movie synopsis:
As Robin pulls the Batcopter back up, he sees Batman has a giant shark grasping onto his leg! Batman yells to his assistant for the Shark Repellent Bat-Spray over his Batradio, so Robin sets the copter on autopilot and brings it down the ladder to Batman. As the shark is sprayed with the repellent, it drops off his leg, back into the ocean, exploding on impact. They can’t believe what just occurred, so they go back to the Batcave to analyze a photo they had taken while flying over the “fake vessel.”
