Family Guy: Star Wars Spoof

For those who missed it, last night's episode of Family Guy was hil-arious! Here is just one of many golden moments. I'll see if I can't find the whole episode somewhere. It was LOL hilarious!



Update: More video from the episode is below (sorry if there is any overlap between the different videos). Watch them before FOX has them taken off YouTube.

Kick @$$ Song: Number Six

Smashing Pumpkins -- "1979"



Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all

And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see

That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope

Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it to see

That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now
As you see there's no one around



I'm not entirely sure if I have a favorite Smashing Pumpkins song. However, when I think of some of the best music that came out of the 90's, this song comes to mind.

I've heard mixed reviews about the bands recent release, and I have only seen the music video for the first single off of the album, "Tarantula." Not a bad song, and quite the trippy video.

Nintendo Wii Overtakes Xbox 360 In Sales



Suck on that Gates!

I think I'm eyeing a Wii of my own come tax return season next year. On a related note, I pose the following question:

Who would win? Mario or Master Chief?


...yeah, Mario would likely get owned. Here is a more intriguing match-up:

Master Chief vs. Samus Aran? That would be fun to watch!

New Trailers of Movies on the Horizon

I ran across a couple of movie trailers that I thought I'd share. You will need quicktime. If you don't have quicktime...WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! After watching each trailer, you may read my comments below.

Numero uno.

Numero dos.

Trailer uno: Robert Downey Jr. may have just been born to play the role of Tony Stark. The director, Jon Favreau has been involved with great movies like Swingers, and seems like a smart filmmaker. I hope the good cast leads to an enjoyable and interesting movie.

Trailer dos: Given that the earlier Beowulf movie was "B-tastic", perhaps this one will be more interesting. The CG reminds me a lot of the Final Fantasy movie from a while back.

If you like, feel free to comment on either or both. Jaded & negative comments are accepted, but strongly discouraged.

Kick @$$ Song: Number Five

There are timeless songs, and then there are timeless songs. Sadly, this song has become more and more applicable since it's inceptiton. Is there a better "stick it to the man" song out there? Feel free to suggest one.
