For the past week everyone’s been going on and on about Tron and I’ve been like, “Yeah, Dave Chappelle was hilarious as Tron but that was like, five years ago.” Then I saw the Tron Legacy trailer in 3D this weekend and I was like, “Ohhh yeah…The Dude Tron.”
This is not the Tron you’re looking for:
This is that Tron:
Also…here’s the light cycle clip from Disney’s Comic-Con panel last year that got everyone juiced in the first place.
Next week prepare to laugh.
From Funny or Die:
“Zach sits down with Ben Stiller to talk about a possible sexual remake of “Meet the Fockers”. Come back for the full video premiering March 17th!”
“Lazy Sunday”, the SNL Digital Short starring Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg that helped make SNL relevant again, was performed live for the first time ever last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Backed with a new medley of old school hip hop by The Roots, “Lazy Sunday” is still “crazy delicious” after all these years.
Also…just for reference, here’s the original instant classic:
These days it seems like the only “news” anchors you can rely on are the ones on a comedy channel. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart once again takes Fox “News” to task and calls it like it is, this time finding inconsistencies in what Fox likes to call “Fair and Balanced” reporting.
At this point it’s like shooting fish in a barrel made of fish with a bowling ball gun. Seriously Fox News, who are you kidding? Just drop the whole “Fair and Balanced” act already, rename yourselves the Republican News Network and call it a day. I promise you, you’ll feel much feel much better about yourself knowing that you have at least a shred dignity.
Here’s to starting your work week with some creative Procrastination courtesy of animator, illustrator and procrastinator Johnny Kelly.
From the procrastinators:
“Graduation film for MA in animation at the Royal College of Art. An investigative and exploratory hands-on gloves-off study into the practice of putting things ‘off”. Sometimes the only way to get something done is to do two dozen other things first. Sound design by Mike Wyeld, with a voice over by Bryan Quinn.”

Star Wars, Lego and stop motion? Impressive, most impressive. But even more impressive was that the video, created by YouTuber Fancy Pants Productions, was simply an entry to an animation contest on Bricksinmotion.com. Winner, winner chicken dinner!
From the Mr. or Ms. Fancy Pants:
“I made this as part of an animation challenge on bricksinmotion.com. The goal was to make the coolest lightsaber duel possible.
The lightsaber and blaster effects were done in photoshop.”
Following up yesterday’s Funny or Die Presidential Reunion, here’s another ex-President who’s done much more than just run the country-Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter!
And not only has a book finally been written about Honest Abe’s vampire killing exploits, but a film is already in the works just as the first book of the new “period piece meets unexpected horror” sub-genre also received (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies).
Visionary directors Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov have already signed on to produce a movie adaptation of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. And Lionsgate and Natalie Portman are at work adapting Pride and Prejudice and Zombies with Portman producing and starring as Jane Austen’s heroine Elizabeth Bennet. Via Deadline Hollywood.
Speaking of David Lynch, here’s an animated retelling of the brief encounter between Lynch and George Lucas and the proposed filming of Return of the Jedi. Utilizing audio from a Q&A with David Lynch and “crude illustrations”, this brilliant little piece was shot entirely on an iPhone by Sascha Ciezata using the iMotion app.
Further proof that the Emmy, Peabody and recent Grammy award winning Stephen Colbert deserves more awards: calling Sarah Palin a f-ing retard. Why is this okay to say? Because as former Governor Quitty McQuitterson said when she called for Rahm Emanuel’s firing for calling his own Democrats “f*cking retarded” but defended Rush Limbaugh for saying pretty much the same thing it’s okay because it’s “satire”. Two things Palin needs to do immediately: 1) go away and 2) get a dictionary.
Thanks to my editing pal Addison James for twatting about it.
