Comic Update

Much to Ariadne's delight I'm sure, I've updated my comic strip thing.

Again, sorry I can't draw, but yes. As usual, based on an actual thing that happened to me.

Oh, and while randomly, well...randomizing random LiveJournals last night, I found some keepers. Oddly enough, they're all Russian...which may say something. I don't know what it's saying, but it's prob'ly something.

Random funny images (may not be safe for work):

People kissing. Some lovely photography on some of these:

And I love Toy Story 2 and Requiem for a Dream, so seeing them come together as one is just...bizarre, yet entertaining:

Pistols Say "No"

As some of you may know, The Sex Pistols were recently set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Well, they released a (poorly spelled) note about what they think of the awards:

Just scroll down and there's a scan. Haha...I love those guys. WOOT.

Diarrhea Song

Remember the good ol' diarrhea song? Well, if you're a sick fuck like me, you do. LiquidGeneration (GODS, I tell you - GODS!) animated it:

Love it? OF COURSE I DO!

Rotten Monarchy

This is why I love John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon. From http://breakingnews.iol.ie:

Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten has launched a scathing attack on the British royal family while filming a documentary about the monarchy.

The 50-year-old punk icon - real name John Lydon - branded the late Diana, Princess Of Wales a "jealous bitch" and described Prince Charles' wife Camilla, Duchess Of Cornwall as a "car blanket".

Despite his comments, the God Save The Queen singer is still hoping to interview key members of the royal family for the as-yet-untitled documentary, which will air on British television later this year.

===

Yeah, like they're gonna want to be interviewed by him after that. Haha. <3

Galaxies

This is pretty much the most amazing photograph I have EVER seen.

A Cluster of Galaxies.

Makes me seriously wonder how anyone could think that there isn't some form of life somewhere else out there.

Make sure you click on the image to view at totally ginormously. It's a FANTASTIC, AMAZING photo. I HAD to print it out. It's phenomenal.

Dubya Shit, Great Artist, Gingers

This is slightly amusing. A guy singing a song called George Bush Don't Know Shit. It's a video, and it's done up like a news broadcast. I like it. Haha, you will at least get a WTF?! out of it.

I just found a link to the wonderful art of Laura Satana. Amazing. Comic book-ish, but totally beautiful. LOVE IT! WORSHIP IT! I am in love. The style is totally DA BOMB DIGGITY, YO'!

Check out these gorgeous photos from a documentary about witchcraft in 1922. NOT WORK SAFE, but it's just artsy ass.

If you watch South Park, you probably saw the episode about gingers (kids with red hair, pale skin, and freckles). Well, did you know that it's TRUE that gingers don't have souls? Gingerkids.org has all the disturbing details about why you should thank Jeeeeezuuuuus that you aren't a ginger. Unless you are one, in which case - tough shit.

Silent Garfield

Via Neil Gaiman's blog, I found a forum in which people have been posting altered Garfield comics. The deal is, you edit out any thoughts by Garfield so it becomes kind of surreal...just a guy talking to his silent (yet odd) cat. I've never found Garfield remotely funny, but I think this really makes the comic better.

Case in point (I made this one):

World's Fastest Feel Good Movie

The World's Fastest Indian

If feel good movies are your thing, this movie will be worth your money.

The story centers around a man whose dream for twenty-five years has been to go to Utah's Salt Flats to race his old Indian motorcycle from the 20's. He's hoping to get it to top 200 miles per hour. However, along the way, things keep trying to prevent him from achieving this goal.

The characters he meets along the road are always helpful, though a bit put off at first by his dreams. Could someone really find so many helpful individuals this easily? I think not, but really, it'd slow the film down too much if he had to spend hours looking for the right person to help him. He ends up befriending a drag queen, a car salesman, and a Native American, to name a few. The Native American gives him a rather interesting cure for prostate troubles that's quite memorable.

Anyway, this film, thankfully, is not centered around a motorcycle race. It's more than that. This is, at its heart, a film about accomplishing one's dream, no matter who or what tries to stop us. It is a film about living life to the fullest, and not giving up, no matter how discouraging things may get.

All-in-all, a grand feel-good time at the movies, but really nothing overly special. By all means, see it. It's just not the most earth-shattering, most inspirational thing to ever come out. It's a good time, though.

OVERALL RATING: 7/10

If you have an account over on rottentomatoes.com, my account there is RIGHT HERE.

Flushed Away

New from Aardman Animation and Dreamworks comes a really crappy movie. No, literally. Flushed Away is my own personal dream come true. It's an animated movie about a rat that gets flushed down the toilet in his apartment, where he has to learn the ways of the sewer life.

Check out the Sneak Peek here.

A cartoon about the sewer...seriously. I can't wait, and neither can you!

If you want to see a poo cartoon NOW, may I suggest Doggy Poo, the heartwarming tale of a dog turd that lives at the side of the road. One day, he meets a dandelion and tries to figure out his purpose in life. I'm not kidding - it's a REAL movie. I haven't seen it, but I'm lying and saying that I have in order to appear more eccentric than I already am. Yuuup, I saw it. I honestly want to, though...hahaha. It's the kind of SHIT I would come up with.

Cereal Toys, Commercials, Knitted Toys

You know those TV commercials that just drive you apeshit? The really, really BAAAAAD ones? Well, there's a site dedicated solely to tearing apart the worst of the worst advertisements. Head on over to CommercialsIHate.com and LOVE it! Be sure to check out the white trash dolls and the current lineup of bad ads. Wonderful.

Oh, and some moron ran onstage at a Rolling Stones' concert and got nailed by Keith Richards' guitar. Ha...whatever. I don't even like that band, and it's not that amusing, but oh well.

I love X-Entertainment.com with a passion. They have a whole heaping helping of nostalgic doodads. Old commercials, childhood toys, etc. Right now I'm enjoying the massive Cereal Prize Project category. Loads of pages in which the X-Entertainment dude reviews loads of cereal prizes. I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch wallet and loved it. Haha.

This next one is an instant classic. Someone made some beautiful knitted stuffed animals that are, well...VERY UNIQUE. Hahaha...I want them ALL! Those are fucking amazing...the kid on the tricycle, the scissors girl. Holy crap. Instant classic, like I said!
