Warehouse 13 returns on July 11th with a new partner who is taking up too much space in these preview pics. I don’t care about the new guy. I care about Agent Lattimer in t-shirts that are a bit too tight, and possibly damp.
Full Story »I’m in Love with Hans, The Troll Hunter
Hans, you’re my vocational soul mate. Let’s run away together and open conspiracy bake shop. I’ll bake scones with a conspiracy theory prize inside and you can putter around in your Fair Isle cardigan, making the place safe from trolls. Sure, no once will come in because it’s lit with UV light and stinks of troll musk, but at least we’ll have each other.
Full Story »Letters From A Concerned Zombie: Dear Congressman Rohrabacher
Certainly, Mr. Rohrabacher, you could have had an intern Google this for you. I’m a zombie, and even I have an intern. He’s an MBA from Colgate. I’m quite looking forward to eating him later, unless he can find some tossed out Boar’s Head cold cuts in our immediate vicinity.
Full Story »Things Learned on the Internet This Week: 5-27-11
A Honda Chopper inspired by Star Wars, Watson takes the next step in world domination, and a rave brain grows in a dish.
Full Story »Handbags Inspired By True Blood Characters
I’m of two minds with this marketing trend of known genre properties teaming up with high-end clothing and accessories brands. On the one hand, it’s like some people somewhere finally took notice that there are women watching. Not just women – women who are interested in things like handbags and shoes beyond messenger bags and [...]
Full Story »Books: The Magic of Recluce
The Magic of Recluce was dry. And tedious. Like sweeping and mopping the floor on a beautiful day, when you can see the sun through the window just calling you to come outside and enjoy it. Then, just when you’ve finished the floor and are about to head out with your lounge chair, fluffy novel, and cocktail, it rains. So, you turn around and clean the toilet.
Full Story »Candy Land and Other Game Mashups That Should Not Be
“We envision it as Lord of the Rings, but set in a world of candy.” That got me thinking of mash-up treatments for some other well-loved board games that should probably never be made into movies, but probably will because. . . well. . . you know.
Full Story »Game of Thrones: A Golden Crown
The Lannister’s golden hair is a feature that’s mentioned prominently throughout the episode, and makes a couple of thoughts go “click” in Ned Stark’s brain. No doubt an astute viewer (and again I refer to those of you who haven’t read the novel) will have come to some conclusion about Joffrey, and I invite you to express your opinions about that in the comments. Please. I get lonely here, and the editor doesn’t always feed me on a daily basis.
Full Story »Supernatural: The Man Who Knew Too Much
As an audience, we have been teased (and tormented) with the tantalizing idea that behind the Wall of Sam (created by Death to keep Sam’s memories of his time in hell at bay) lay an undiscovered country of unheard of angst and emo and the deep, dark, fiery, and hellish torments that Sam suffered through. While there wasn’t a written contract, through the process of storytelling (with its endless hints at how DIRE his time there was), as well as the threats (threaded through dialog) of what would happen should The Wall come down, the audience was promised a reveal on the subject. We were promised that we would come to understand the nature of Sam’s suffering while in hell.
Full Story »Jason Momoa is the Gary Oldman of Beefcake Actors
No, this isn’t just an excuse to post half-naked pictures of Jason Momoa. OK. Maybe it is a little bit. I mean, look at those pecs! Don’t you just want to lay your head on them?
Full Story »Supernatural: Let It Bleed
While Bobby is doing all this investigating, and Dean is torturing demons, Sam is standing around with his arms akimbo; he serves no purpose, has no lines, has no meaning, and exists in no context. Nobody wants to play with him, not the other characters and certainly not the writers. I guess maybe he’s in the kitchen making a six-layer Dagwood sandwich to keep the blues at bay.
Full Story »Doctor Who, America is Killing You
It’s not that I’m pissy about Doctor Who being more accessible to new viewers. I want new people to watch it. The more people there are in the United States who watch Doctor Who, the more people there are for me to talk to.
Full Story »NOF: No Ordinary Beginning
Superheroes have a hard time in primetime in recent memory. Smallville succeeded in part because it started 10 years ago and dealt with a familiar face. The Cape flat-out sucked. Heroes, starting strong, got too convoluted and died painfully. Wonder Woman – with a reboot concept I couldn’t wrap my head around – (thankfully?) didn’t get picked up (I question the thankfully because it might have worked. But I love WW and I would have hated hating it).
Full Story »The CDC’s Tips for Zombie Preparedness
I can’t decide which is more gratifying: the Center for Disease Control outlining a zombie preparedness plan for American families, or the fact that my personal zombie preparedness plan is pretty much the same.
Full Story »Chuck vs The Cliffhanger
Maybe Sarah is gonna die! Probably not tho. They couldn’t actually let something happen on this dumb show. Just think about it. Sarah dies and chuck turns into an ACTUAL spy. Seeking revenge like so many Liam Neeson movies. There is the treatment that is going to get me a gig at NBC. You’re welcome NBC for saving your Fall lineup!

Full Story »Game of Thrones: The Wolf and the Lion
Well, it’s on like Donkey Kong, isn’t it folks? The animosity between the Starks and the Lannisters hits a boiling point, Ned learns about some nefarious activities, King Robert calls for the death Daenerys Targaryen, and even the Imp of Lannister gets into a fight.

I’m not sure what the hell is going on at the Audi Fashion Festival in Singapore, but I love it. It’s so weird and perfect for my apocalypse closet. Why can’t Western fashion be this awesome?
