Sensitive!

Simon Pegg will not be joining the cast of Inglorious Bastards (which so far includes hirsute horror king Eli Roth, The Office’s BJ Novak, and…uh, Mike Myers), according to his most recent Peggster blog update. But he also announced that Greg Mottola, director of Superbad, will be directing the next Pegg/Nick Frost picture, Paul, which is about the adventures of two British fanboys travelling in America. According to IMDB though, David Schwimmer’s name is still in the director’s slot (sorry Ross). And why no Edgar Wright? Is he busy with Ant-Man? Why am I such a huge nerd? (Bonus nerdgirl link)

I remember being rather enamored of this movie back in the day along with my film school galpals Sara and Kelly. At that time we didn’t know Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson were going to turn into, respectively, a Kate Hudson-dating-doosh and a fey hipster ween. Remember those days? Aww.

Why do people bother with mainstream dance pop when you can listen to THIS instead?

For some reason, over the last 4 or 5 days now I’ve had a strong desire to procreate with Seth Rogen. I wonder if it’s some kind of weird new estrogen-linked-viral-marketing-thing that Judd Apatow has been bioengineering with the United States Government or if I’m just ovulating. Anyhow, some baby-making links for you:

Seth Rogen On Letterman
Seth Rogen On AvClub (talking about Hot Fuzz being an influence on Pineapple Express! Bonus English people shout out!)
And for fun, Seth Rogen spitting water into Paul Rudd’s mouth.

As if Hulu wasn’t awesome enough already, they are now carrying a few choice episodes of Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy’s Post MST3K show FILM CREW.

Hulu astounds me with what is so available in their catalogue (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia! The Big Lebowski! ALL Arrested Development episodes!  I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, the Munsters?!) but this, this is a sweet, sweet addition.

Okay, if you’re lazy:

Return of the Electric Dream Machine (Ahh-aahhh-ahhh!), Rickety Cricket, Mac’s tranny love, and the Green Man.

Sorry.  Just noticed on Yahoo news that McCain visiting a German restaurant in Ohio is somewhat like Obama being greeted by 200,000 ecstatic Germans.

Yes, Obama saying he’d remake the world is pretty funny too.
BUT, I clicked that McCain restaurant story and I get this:

HE VISITED A GROCERY STORE?  THIS MAN IS A VISIONARY. 

Reason #1: free Dodgers Stadium fireworks. I’m getting sick of those fireworks that make the momentary smiley face though. Let’s get back to the basics here, fireworks industry! Granted, to see these, you should be living up on the hill, but even if you don’t, why not use your feet to walk up the hill to one the many southeast-facing viewpoints! That’s what feets are for. Your other option is to, well der, buy tickets and see a game.

(First entry in a series! Next up: sidewalk taco vendor dudes.)
