Brilliant idea.

This highly lucrative produce is his own ass, which he rents out to San Fran commuters who are willing to pay him to get a pass to drive in the car pool lane. The idea came to him when he was stuck in traffic one day watching people zip by in the far left lane. He decided to rent himself out for $10 to $20 a trip so that other people who didn’t want to sit in traffic for two hours could bypass jams in the fast moving car pool lane.

Someone in the comments mentioned this as slugging, which I had never heard of.

I enjoyed the Iron Man animated movie, but was really disapointed in the Avenders ones (mostly because they put the ‘Ultimate’ name on there but dropped everything that made the ultimate universe characters different from the 616 Avengers.

Strange looks like it could be good.

Dr. Stephen Strange was one of the most gifted surgeons in medicine before his hands were left shattered and useless as a result of a car crash. Spending his fortune in pursuit of a way to fix his fractured body, the dejected doctor believed all was lost until the Ancient One offered him hope and healing in Tibet.

I used to be a huge Carlin fan, but now he seems to take himself to serious. Interviews are still good, but his standup feels more like a street preacher talking than a comedian.

The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”

The first trailer (that I’ve seen at least) for the adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Stardust is out.  Looks good.

In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he’ll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm.

You go Uncle Donald.

Great art depicts Donald Duck in an Australian soldier’s uniform while behind him is an attractive woman in a tight slinky dress lying in wait behind a large plant. Donald has an exasperated look on his face as he is without a prophylactic.

I like him as Black Adam, but not as Captain Marvel. I’m still voting for Brendan Fraser for that.

IESB.net and Ain’t It Cool report on a visit to the set of Get Smart, where wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson confirms he’s talked with director Pete Segal about a role in the planned Shazam movie.

I can’t decide which song I liked the best. “Blew That Bitch Away” was the better song melodically, but “What the fuck was that” had better choreography.

I laughed my ass off at these.  My favorites where the Batman ones.

I bought Spiderman 2 for Xbox last week to get in the mood. it was fun, but got repetitive. Spiderman 3 looks like it would be pretty similar, but with the Wii controller…
