"Because I'm Batman." T-Shirt Idea.

Commissioner Gordon
"Batman, why are you arresting this man?"

Batman
"Well Commissioner, I could explain for the next 20 minutes the thorough investigation I've done in researching this man's background, the scene of the crime, and the finding the weapon involved.  But instead I shall merely tell you this: You will arrest this man because I'm BATMAN."

Commissioner Gordon
"Good enough for me."

Rest In Peace Leslie!

Leslie Nielsen died on Sunday.
This was a gentlemen who continued the strong line of straight man Canadian humour that is woefully not as prevalent in today's society as the world needs.  I watched Airplane when I was twelve and didn't understand nearly enough of the jokes, but it was funny enough to make an impact in my life, along with the Naked Gun series.  I envy a man who can do what he loves his entire life and suddenly hit his stride when most people's lives would be slowing down.
The best part of Nielsen's style is the fact that he is hilarious by not being funny but merely delivering his lines in a particular way.  Leslie Nielsen will be remembered and he will be missed for his art and humour.

"B" is for Bebop!

This big brute is one of my favourites from the old series.  He was big and tough, and couldn't shoot worth anything.

Reading, Not Sleeping

My wife decided that staying up and finishing a book at 4:30 in the morning was the wisest choice of action.  I have pulled all nighters in my life before, but sometimes you should just put the book down...

'D' is For Donatello.

Domestic Dunder-headedness: Race to Witch Mountain

As thought by the execs involved in creating this movie in Disney:
"Hey let's remake the Witch Mountain movies, but better!"
"Yeah, we can add CG effects, and explosions and stuff."
"Let's make the kids beautiful, but expressionless.  That way they'll look alien. And make their powers more... powerful."
"But then the Grandfather needs to go, let's make him someone with a lot of expression too."
"Let's get Dwayne Johnson. He does that one expression.  He'll be great."
"Yeah, and he's got muscles.  He'll need someone to fight, so let's throw in some faceless MIBs, and someone really tough.... a big alien assassin! That'll show how tough he is!"
"But he needs to be approachable too... let's give him a sexy, super scientist to talk to.  That way she can explain everything that Dwayne can't."
"And let's throw them into a sci-fi convention in Las Vegas.  It'll be really funny."
"There. And just so people can connect with the old movie, we'll keep the name the same."

Genius!

Out of a possible score of 10 drunken barrel monkeys I give this an 6.  They weren't drunk enough to take this movie to the level of bad to make it good again, and they were toasted enough to think this was a good idea in the first place.  All they got out of this production was a mild headache and an ugly wench's phone number.

Steampunked Blowing Up Awesome!

New Zealanders are crazy geniuses!
If golf was this much fun to play, I'd become a professional.

30 Minute Sketch : Toy Story 3 - Woody

"Don't mess with Toys!"
Pixar is storytelling incarnate and Woody its 'poster child."  I love this company.

Joke that I heard on the Daily Show...

A man is getting ready for bed because its late, when there is a knock at the door.
And he goes to the door, opens it, and there is this snail.  The snail says, " I'd like to talk to you about some magazine subscriptions."  And the man is furious that he's been interrupted that he rears back, kicks the snail as hard as he can and slams the door shut.
Two years later...
The man hears a knock at the door and he answers it and its the snail.  The snail says "What the f#@k is that all about?"
