Once again The Onion reveals a painful truth.

It’s easy to forget sometimes that it’s only satire:

Though the reality is that Obama is well aware we’re going to vote for him regardless of how much he dicks us around because the alternative is so much worse.

Movies I’m Looking Forward To: “Looper”

Now here’s a use for time travel I hadn’t considered. The mob in the future still deals with problems by having them killed, but it’s still a pain in the ass having to get rid of the body and all that crap. How do you ensure that the evidence of the hit is never found? . . . → Read More: Movies I’m Looking Forward To: “Looper”

PAC-MAN: The Movie (trailer).

Word has it that Hollywood is making a movie based on the PAC-MAN video game. This is not that movie, but if it’s not at least half as good as this fan made trailer then they’ve wasted their time:

 

The Republicans in Michigan have decided that democracy is no longer necessary.

I love my state, but it’s legislative branch has taken a nose dive ever since the last election. With a Republican Governor and majorities in both state houses, they’ve been railroading their agenda like never before. Rachel Maddow had a pretty good segment about this just recently:

For my mother: The “Dark Shadows” trailer.

From what I understand, Dark Shadows was a TV soap opera from the 1960s about a vampire and zombies and ghosts that did stuff of a soap opera-y sort. I have no idea having never watched the show myself, but my mother has said on more than one occasion that she loved it. It was . . . → Read More: For my mother: The “Dark Shadows” trailer.

Now this is the “Star Wars Episode 1″ I would’ve loved to have seen.

We need a good time machine so we can go back in time and show George Lucas just what a shitty set of prequels he was going to make in the future and how he should hire Michael Barryte to help him make them better. Cause the version of Episode 1 that he describes in the . . . → Read More: Now this is the “Star Wars Episode 1″ I would’ve loved to have seen.
