Don & Adam Sitting in a Tree…

Adam Sandler filled in for an ill David Letterman on The Late Show the other night, and had on Don Cheadle as a guest. The two are promoting their new movie Reign Over Me which hit theaters this weekend. So how close did the two of them get while making the movie? Check out the video:

Latest Trailer for Spiderman 3

Here’s the final trailer for the latest installment of the wacky wall crawler. The movie hits theaters May 4th.

Wow, This Place Has Everything…

They’re EVERYWHERE
Seen so far in Nanjing: 4 McDonalds, 4 KFCs, a Subway, and the graddaddy of them all, Wal-Mart. I’m not sure if this is comforting or saddening. The homogenization of global cultures brings about some definite perks. For instance I was able to replace my broken memory card reader for $6 at Wal-Mart. But the more we homogenize culture the more risk we run in losing the things that keep our cultures distinct. This is what jet-lag makes me think of…

We’re Not in Kansas Anymore

Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore…Which way to Albuquerque?

I’m in China for a couple of weeks, so updates will be sporadic. I’ll post anything cool I see here though. So check back.

I Knew It: Batman IS Gay!

Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Who Were the Ad Wizards? Some Seriously F-ed Up Toys

I’ve got your lasagna right here bitch!
StromDotCom has posted a photo gallery of toys that should never have been created. There’s some seriously messed up toys in there, including this Garfield Super Sodomizing Scooter. WTF were these people thinking?

Finally someone has mixed The Beatles with Zombies (no, not The Zombies, just Zombies in general). This glorious movie mashup mixes The Beatles’ classic A Hard Day’s Night with George Romero’s zombie masterpiece Night of the Living Dead. All the kooky scenes of the Fab Four running from adoring fans become scenes of them fleeing flesh-eating zombies. Brilliant!

Bob Loblaw Rulez!

Why is it so much fun to talk about bad tv? That’s a question to ponder on another day. For today we’ll just take advantage of it. Case in point, Celebrity Hack’s list of the 10 Worst Spin-Offs Ever. I have to admit I hadn’t even heard of some of these, but they do sound unspeakably bad.

I do remember Joanie Loves Chachi though, and it was godawful. It was the worst kind of sentimental tacky crap. Trite, sugary, and ill-conceived, JLC lasted only 17 episodes, showing that America does have taste. But hey, at least it gave us a great theme song:

Or maybe not. Who wrote that? Air Supply? REO Speedwagon? Is it the least inspiring TV theme ever? Excuse me, I need to go find an icepick to poke out my eardrums…

On a different note, what’s the best spin-off ever? I’m going with these ladies:
The Facts of Life

And they knew how to rock a theme song:

What Do Movie Ratings Mean?

This clip from This Film is Not Yet Rated explains it all (NSFW):

Sunday Music Spotlight – The Broken West

The Broken West

It’s always refreshing to hear a solid, polished debut album. And The Broken West’s I Can’t Go On I’ll Go On is just that.

The group formed in LA in 2004 under the name The Brokedown. They independently released an EP called The Dutchman’s Gold in 2005, then signed with Merge Records (hmm…that’s a surprise…whoever is finding these bands for Merge is a GENIUS), changed their name to avoid confusion with another band, then released their first LP I Can’t Go On I’ll Go On in January of this year. Here are a couple of the highlights:
