European Parliament Voting On ACTA On Wednesday; Kill The Internet Eating Serpent!
ACTA, the serpentine beast awaiting to prey on our internet privacy is going to a vote on Wednesday in the European Parliament. Here’s hoping it’s nailed to a board and thrown to sea.
Marvel Teases The RETURN OF JEAN GREY In Entertainment Weekly? Bring Back Red.
Fuckkkkkkkk Emma Frost and her bourgeoisie swagger. Please let Jean Grey return in a hail of fiery telekinectic fury, vaporizing that posh hag.
Sony Buys CLOUD GAMING SERVICE Gaikai For $380 Million
Sony is taking shit to the Clouds! with a fury. No, they ain’t fucking around anymore, buying the whackily-named cloud gaming service Gaikai for some serious cheddar.
Monday Morning Commute: Operation Pants Tightening
Man, I’m eating my feelings lately. Straight-up gorging. My bikini body is suffering, yo. I think it’s safe to say that I slather on another pound or three every time I’m tasked with writing a paper. Got this weird as fuck schedule riffing right now too, where I’m on campus until 9 pm. No gym. Mucho food. Gotta cut back. Not this week though! Why? It’s America Fuck Yeah! week. An abridged existence for those of us slaving it out in the United. I am eagerly anticipating stuffing gullet with many a chlorine-soaked beef patty and unethically snuffed chicken. There will be a momentary pause as I mourn the animals, before respecting their sacrifice by ingesting them with a fervor.
This is Monday Morning Commute, the column where we all share the various arts and artifices we’re employing to get us through the week. Won’t you be my date on this fairest of occasions?
NEW ‘LOOPER’ TRAILER: Bullets and Paradoxes For The Win
How good is this new trailer for Looper? It uses dubstep, and I don’t hate it. I’m serious.
An American in Canada: The Maple Eagle Flies!
[In an attempt to expand his insular perspective, Rendar Frankenstein became An American in Canada! Join Rendar as he tells of the wonders encountered while traveling through North America’s most jovial nation. It’s one-third travel guide and three-fourths misguided interpretation!]
My name is Rendar Frankenstein, and I’m an American.
‘THE DARK KNIGHT RISES’ MTV FOOTAGE Finally Officially Online. Cyeah.
The blood-filled-dong-inducing Dark Knight Rises trailer that dropped at the MTV Movie Awards is finally online in an official capacity. Jesus Lord, it’s getting close. I can barely handle it.
CLOUD CITY Landing Platform Goes LEGO Microscale. Word.
Hell yeah! Rod Gillies has whipped up a gorgeous LEGO microscale of the Cloud City landing platform from Empire. Ah, that fucking platform. So much Boba Fett, so many blaster bolts wasted upon it.
The ZOOLOGICAL UNIVERSE Takes Literal Approach To Cosmic Bodies
Christian Petersen is bringing the heat with these prints. They take some of us space-dork-lords’ favorite cosmic entities and pair them with a mighty beast best befitting the space wonder.
Before The Fight, ANDERSON SILVA and CHAEL SONNEN Face Off…In A Comic Book.
I’ve been awaiting the Silva/Sonnen rematch for a good amount of time. Differing from most of my friends, I find Sonnen to be a bit of a douche. I’ve been biding my time, and god dammit I hope to see him get ass laid out. Overeager and ready to watch, waiting for Saturday seems an interminable amount of time. Thankfully, uh, I can spend some of it reading a comic book about them.
