Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter?

Set construction will begin next week for Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter.  Fox seems to be pushing the Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) film out quickly, assumably to strike while the zombie iron is hot and that so no one has the chance to ask "Wait...what?".

Keith Buckley's "BEER GOOGLES", The review of "Exit Through The Gift Shop"

Being as this is my first contribution to Brain Dead Blog, I’ve figured theres no better way to prematurely establish my legacy than with an entry teeming with indecision and blatant non-commitment wrapped in the guise of superfluous language. For that reason, I’ve decided to review a documentary called “Exit Through The Gift Shop”.

Spider-man Reboot Picture

First off; reboot.  Insanely stupid word.

The picture above is of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone all done up in their roles as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, and they look how Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy appear in the comics.

I'm a big fan of Spider-man of what Brian Michael Bendis did with Ultimate Spider-man. Instead of an origin of "oh shit, I got bit by a spider....now I'm Spider-man"that lasted for 20 something pages, Bendis spread the story over a 6 issue arc. I think the point of this movie is to spread out the origin, so hopefully they follow Bendis' lead.

Well...not too closely.
There was a rumor going around that Bendis told a fan that the movie was going to be EXACTLY like the first volume of Ultimate Spider-man, but he tweeted that he never said that.

Lego Mania

If you ever wondered where all your legos went when you turned your back, this video has your answer.


Its hard to endorse any video that involves animating a mustache. Creepy dude aside, this is pretty impressive. The entire piece was done in stop motion, so keep that mind when you see all the rack focus effects, changes in lighting, and camera movements.

Hit the jump for another LEGO video from the same team.

Asshole For Hire

I've never seen an episode of Dawson's Creek, let alone know who the fuck this guy is. If anything, if someone asked if I'd ever even seen Dawson's Creek, I'd probably reply with something along the lines of, "Fuck them, I listen to Madball".

Ignorance aside, James Van Der Beek who plays Dawson on said TV series takes full blame for setting the unrealistic standard of always being the sweet, apologetic good guy—the trait his character portrays on the show that captivates women's hearts around the world. I think it's safe to say, some of the scenarios you are about to see are very accurate to how us men think and may say at times.

Enjoy, fellow assholes.

We Did It!



I'd like to thank all of our readers for taking the time to check out the post I made yesterday about how being homeless stinks.  Obviously one of the top brass over at the Cleveland Cavaliers read our blog and gave Ted Williams a job as their announcer as well as a house.

Williams was quoted as saying "That lady offered me a full-time job with the Cavs and then something about the mortgage of a home? I'm going with that! Out of all the offers I've had, and I've had quite a few, I'll be working in Cleveland, Ohio.".

Apparantly NFL Films also contacted him about doing some voiceover work.

Stan "The Man" Lee Is A Star


Stan Lee, co-creator of such small time/indie superheroes like the Fantastic Four, Spider-man, the X-men, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, the Avengers and a couple others, was honored yesterday with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  He's already won a ton of awards for his work in the comic book industry, but its cool for him to be recognized by "non-comic book" people.
Stan received his star in the "Film" category, which is obviously for his amazing work as "Old Man #1" in Spider-man, and "Guy Who Looks Like Hugh Hefner" in Iron Man 2.
