Final Fortress is quite an addictive game…

Chad Vader: Day Shift Manager (YouTube video) is damn funny… 🙂

In a recent blog entry hilariously entitled “A Dick In A Mustache Is Still A Dick,” Kevin Smith went off on Joel Siegel after the movie critic walked out of a screening of the upcoming movie Clerks II. You should really read the whole thing, but here’s an excerpt:

Now, I don’t need Joel Siegel to suck my dick the way he apparently sucks M. Night’s, gushing over his flick before he’s even seen it; but shit, man – how about a little common fucking courtesy?

Never mind the fact that when you’re paid to watch movies for a living and the only tasks required of you are to a) sit through said movies and b) write your thoughts about them before your deadline, walking out before a movie’s over is pretty unprofessional.

Smith later includes an audio clip from the Opie And Anthony radio show, whose hosts actually got Joel Siegel on the phone. During their brief conversation, Siegel failed to do anything but make himself out to look like more of an asshole…

David Putney’s list 75 Things We Love And Hate About Star Wars is pretty good…

The images in this year’s Biomedical Image Awards are amazing:

The Biomedical Image Awards 2006 is a striking display of shapes and patterns, and illustrates the microscopic structures of living organisms in a spectacular variety of ways.

Selected by a team of expert judges from recent acquisitions by the Medical Photographic Library of the Wellcome Library, the winning images show a wide variety of subjects, most invisible to the naked eye, revealing new layers of complexity.

By the way, the image above is that of a stem cell, chosen to highlight W’s latest mind-numbingly ignorant decision to cast the first veto of his administration on a bill funding stem cell research because he felt it necessary to impose his skewed, hypocritical sense of “morality” on others rather than act in a truly Christian way. God forbid he actually did something that solved some of society’s problems rather than caused them. What an asshole. </rant>

flickrInspector is a pretty neat way to find out more about flickr users and their photos:

All you need to do enter in the flickr username, user ID, or email, and flickrInspector comes back with specific flickr user information, “interestingness”, recently uploaded photos (and some cool photo stats), favorites, contacts, tags, sets, etc.

Check out my info here.

I’m not sure that I can introduce this video any better than Cynical-C Blog did: “Watch this clip and explain to me how anybody can think that Bush isn’t retarded.”

Christopher Nolan (of Batman Begins and Memento fame, among others) has a new film coming out in the Fall called The Prestige starring Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman. I hadn’t heard anything about it up until now, but the trailer (embedded QuickTime video) looks pretty damn good.

Check out this awesome video of “Space Invaders recreated by stop-motion animation of people sitting in auditorium seats.” Someone had way too much time on their hands…
