Banned from TV Family Guy Clip
This clip is excellent and a wonderful example of the liberating power of the shared social anarchy of the internet. Censor your media into the ground. Restrict it’s form and it’s function. Don’t, however, cry when this only hastens your obsolescence.
Saturday Morning Watchmen
Watchmen combined with a cheesy 80’s Saturday Morning Cartoon. Amazingly well done.
U2 Exposed!

Bill Bailey, who you may remember as the voice of the whale in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Bilbo, the comc shop owner from Spaced* or Manny, the beard with an idiot attached from Black Books*, exposes the sham that is U2 in this very funny YouTube clip.
*If you don’t recognize these shows, you need to watch more British TV. Just saying.
Entourage Returns!

Victory indeed Johnny Drama. Entourage, the incredibly funny returns this weekend on HBO alongside True Blood, a new small-town Vampire drama from the creator of Six Feet Under. We’ll see if True Blood can bring another hit to HBO, and perhaps help us wait for Season 2 of Flight of the Conchords, which, according to reports, will also be the last season.
No Battlestar Galactica Til April?
Engineer extraordinaire and secret Toaster, Chief Tyrol says that BSG won’t be revealing it’s final dirty secrets for several more months. He also lets loose with how he really feels about the Sci-Fi network. I believe it’s a sentiment that dwot can co-sign.
DragonCon 08: ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Final Episodes May Be Delayed Til April 2009
Weekly Preview – April 14 2008
DVDs
Juno – Oscar winner for best writing, stars Ellen Page and Michael Cera in the funniest move about teen pregnancy in recent memory. Directed by Jason Reitman, who also directed the brilliant Thank You for Smoking. A great movie, worth a trip to the rental store.
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead – Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman are brothers plotting to rob the family jewelry store when all goes awry. Pulled a 7.9 on IMDB and an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. Certainly worthy of a watch.
Also out this week, Aliens vs Predator: Requiem, Lars and the Real Girl, and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, if you’re into crappy monster movie mash-up sequels, goofy indie-flicks about love dolls or wretched Uwe Boll abominations, respectively.
Weekly Preview – April 7 2008
DVD’s
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story – How can you go wrong with John C. Reilly starring in the latest Judd Apatow film? You can’t. Reilly is supported by a tremendous cast and many many cameos. Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Harold Ramis, shit even Frankie Muniz show up as character in Dewey’s amazing life. Walk Hard is simultaneously smart-funny and stupid-funny, so there’s sure to be a little of something for everyone. If you haven’t seen Walk Hard yet, do yourself a favor, as it was easily one of the funniest movies of last year.
There Will Be Blood – Daniel Day Lewis’s Oscar winning performance as an oil baron at the turn of the century, There Will Be Blood is a bit more serious in nature than Walk Hard, but certainly worth checking out. Lewis takes few roles and tends to do amazing things with them.
Also releasing this week, Lions For Lambs, The Water Horse, and Reservation Road, that is, if you’re into crappy movies or kid’s flicks. Or possibly just watching the trainwreck that is Tom Cruise.

What we said then: Home of the Simpsons, laid out in all it’s well-researched glory.
And today: Still insanely detailed and the Simpsons are still rolling along. Who’d have thunk it?
