sorry folks, i don’t mean to bring the party down, but jesus satan is getting it from all sides these days. so let’s laugh at our miserably pointless lives together, shall we? together via the internet. which is really not together at all. i’m so lonely : O (  Chuck Bukowski says it a little more eloquently with his poem The Shoelace, but sometimes simplicity works just as well, hence the fffuuuuuu meme that’s so cool with the nerd kids these days. there are a ton more of these all over the internet, as well as a few aggregated at the Rage Thread here (with a few more choice ones after the jump, as well).

Congratulations to our friend Joe Sabia on being gobbled up by mashable, gizmodo, techcrunch, etc., etc., etc., for his innovative “google wave cinema” videos! Surely on it’s way to viral video status. Check out his other youtube hits at Whirled Citizen.

“I’ve read the articles, watched the instructional videos, and gotten an invite, but nothing—nothing—has done more to explain to me how this mind-melting Internet Thing works than Pulp Fiction, spectacularly adapted for Google Wave. (Warning: Tarantino language ahead)” – John Herrman @gizmodo

A fucking awesome collection of lego dudes. Many more can be seen at MacLane’s Flickr (Batman, Nightcrawler, Wonderwoman, T-1000, etc.)

Came across Mr. Ansin after hearing about the new Stanley Kubrick exhibition: “Taming Light,” (check the info on facebook) taking place at the Light House Cinema in Smithfield, Dublin next month. He created the AMAZING poster (below) for the exhibit, which will showcase new painting, photography and illustration related to Kubrick and his films. Once I saw the rest of his work I became an instant fan (more imagery after the jump):

Connor is an interesting fellow, this is his resume:

“Born 1986, not dead yet.”

A talented, young chap. I’m not sure what he’s up to now, but I have a feeling we’ll be seeing more of him. Check out his blog and his portfolio for some very cool, grungy comic work.

IGN’s top 100 comic villains. Agree or disagree, there are some strange cats in this mix.

WATCH: The Dirty Spelling Bee. Haw haws and tee hees, this one’s a kneeslapper.

The moment you’ve all been waiting for… TOY STORY 3 Trailer!:

Wikipedia imposes ban on a high-profile group, The Church of Scientology! Looks like scientologists have been using Wiki to promote their own personal agenda… you know, convincing people to worship alien ghosts and stuff…

Also, Cleveland dude Mike Polk gets a big Thank You! for ripping apart TNT’s NBA analyst crew. Amazing. “Reggie lives in the shadow of his sister”… “Kenny owes his career to Olajuwon”

mwa.

i’ve been meaning to post about this for a while because i love comics so much, but i’ve been too busy getting beaten up by bullies who take my lunch money. Skirball is hosting an exhibit on comics, and it looks pretty amazing. though it’s up until August 9th, Tuesday, May 12th is probably the best day to go because the Skirball is screening the Adam West Batman, which is the only movie in the series that matters. sadly, it’s at 1.30 pm. happily, it’s free with the $10 admission.

man i wish life was really like this...

ZAP! POW! BAM! The Superhero: The Golden Age of Comic Books, 1938–1950

ADMISSION:

Included with Museum admission (tickets at the door): $10 General; $7 Seniors and Full-Time Students; $5 Children 2–12; Free to Members and Children under 2; Free to all on Thursdays

Through never-before exhibited art and objects culled from private and institutional collections, ZAP! POW! BAM! The Superhero: The Golden Age of Comic Books, 1938-1950 explores the genesis of cultural icons such as Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel, and Wonder Woman. In the midst of the economic and political turmoil of the 1930s and 1940s, comic books offered America champions who shaped the values of an entire generation. ZAP! POW! BAM! examines the creative processes and influences that drove young Jewish artists to express their talents through the storylines and art of comic books. The exhibition features rare vintage artwork and books, 1940s Hollywood movie serials, and colorful interactive displays including a drawing studio, a newsstand, a vintage Batmobile ride, and stations that allow children to dress up as Superheroes or transform themselves via a quick costume change in a telephone booth. Guest curator Jerry Robinson brings a long history as a comic book industry insider to the exhibition. Working with Batman co-creators Bob Kane and Bill Finger, Robinson named Robin, Batman’s young protégé. Robinson also co-created The Joker, Batman’s nemesis and one of the first Super-Villains.

“A mind-blowing collection.”—LA Weekly
