Campy Johnny Depp - Life's Too Short



"I want you to know this, and I want you to carry this with you for the rest of your days; No one, makes fun of Tim Allen, on my watch, and gets away with it." - Johnny Depp

This may just be one of the most brilliant thing's i've seen all year.

Pilot Pranks His Passenger



Let's be perfectly honest, if this happened to any of us we would lose our $%&* too. On the other hand it's sort of hilarious.

Chimpanzee - Trailer



I should say first, I haven't seen any of the DisneyNature films. But I think they're a terrific thing. Not only are they showing kids the beauty of the natural world, but from what I understand major sections of the profits they make actually go to conservation. So how can you possibly hate on that. I also understand that the market for "family" films may be starved a bit these days, so filling in that void with a solid nature documentary is fantastic in my mind. The latest film being released next year follows a baby Chimp called Oscar after he becomes seperated from his family group. A rogue adult male Chimp takes him in.
I showed this trailer to my little sister, who happens to be 17, and she "awwww"ed all the way through it. And if other people have a similar reaction, than this movie stands a pretty good chance of being just as popular, if not more so, than DisneyNature's previous releases. I think I may just check this one out too.

I couldn't resist; NSEA PROTECTOR / NASA ORION

I just couldn't resist doing this.



On the left you see the NSEA PROTECTOR from the terrific, and I mean TERRIFIC, movie Galaxy Quest. On the right you see NASA's new ORION spacecraft. When I first looked at these two side by side I couldn't help but smile. If you haven't already noticed; the docking port and general design of the ORION, while similar to the classic APOLLO module, shares a loose resemblance to the PROTECTORS navigational dish and hull configuration.

Maybe I'm just seeing something I want to see, but as a geek this tickled me to pieces :-) . Who knows, maybe one day we won't be flying around in the U.S.S ENTERPRISE but at least we'll be exploring the universe in something that was made in tribute to it.

Awesome.

Patton Oswalt - The Circus is in Town



When it comes to circus' I like to think that Patton Oswalt just about says it all.
