To Keanu Reeves: STOP IT.

February 19th, 2009 · 13 Comments

Apparently Keanu Reeves is starring as Spike in a live action Cowboy Bebop film. I say “apparently” because a) it was mentioned on MTV, and b) it was mentioned on MTV by Keanu. His producer Erwin Stoff (the guy who produced The Day The Earth Stood Still… oh God. I just just threw up in [...]

THROW ME THE WHIP!

February 13th, 2009 · 3 Comments

I’ve made probably the sweetest impulse purchase of my life – this piggy bank replica of the fertility idol from Raiders of the Lost Ark. It’s big enough to clutch properly whilst being chased by a giant foam boulder, and provided you know Alfred Molina and know him well enough to make him re-enact the [...]

February 11th, 2009 · 4 Comments

After a night of cobbling together what may or may not have been the most batshit random radio Luke and I have ever committed to air (and which will probably never grace your ears due to incoherency), I feel it’s time to get back to work. And by that, I mean a wrap-up of Yesterdays [...]

Radiohead – 15 Stepby Alisvideo
Fuck the grammys, but seriously. Radiohead are without a doubt my favourite band, and this is a stunning performance. If any group has conquered, strangled and made their demons their bitches, it’s these guys. Enjoy.

February 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment

I know everyone’s just a bit over LOLcats these days (I don’t know, are they?), but this is so awesome. Rolcats. English translations of Russian LOLcats.

Cease your protests, the deal is done! You are to make a fine wife for uncouth American businessman!

Cease your rescue attempts!
Harvest my connective tissues so that the Motherland may [...]
