My favorite line has to be “We are going to play a wonderful game called Who’s Your Daddy and What Does He Do”, that line cracks me up no matter how many times I hear it but it is even funnier when it looks like Vader is the one saying it.

KIMYE
The union of two of the biggest attention whores on the face of the Earth, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, was monumental for exposing just how superficial and tacky pop culture could truly be. I have yet to figure out exactly why anyone pays any attention to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has not produced any music worth listening to since Graduation in 2007. And the onslaught on the public consciousness shows no signs of abating with the news that these two have created a future attention whore that is due to be delivered sometime in 2013. And that mashed up couple’s name everyone is calling them is moronic.

Superhero Movies Continued to Rule At the Box-Office

In 2012, three of the top ten grossing movies of the year were about superheroes (The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, and Amazing Spiderman) with The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises hitting the $1 billion mark. And the future looks just as bright with the upcoming third Iron Man movie and the Man of Steel poised to have big showings at the box office too.

December 14th was Monkey Day (who knew, right?), the “annual celebration of all things simian” and two things ran through my mind when I realized this day existed: How the hell did I not know about this before now? And that there are quite a few simians in pop culture that hold a spot in my heart. So with that in mind click onward for my list of favorite pop culture simians!
The only thing cooler than a picture would be another pic (of Jedi Michonne) and a video…

I am geeking out for this movie! Giant Robots piloted by humans as they fight against giant monsters…anyone else immediately think that this is just Voltron (the version with the space cars not the cats) under a different name? Not that there is anything wrong with that mind you. The premise for Pacific Rim is just ridiculously cool, it has a very appealing cast and it is from the mind of Guillermo del Toro. If Man of Steel wasn’t coming out in the same year I would be majorly obsessed with this movie above all others.
So here I have gathered all of the goodies I have found across the Internetz pertaining to Pacific Rim in one place from the trailer to the viral vids to the promo images.

Mixing Troy and Abed from Community with Data and Geordie from Star Trek: The Next Generation is about as right a mash-up as chocolate and peanut butter. And the fine folks over at the Tumblr blog Troy and Abed in Engineering have a field day amalgamating the two sets of Tv show bros to make a pretty funny little spot on the Intranetz. Plus they get extra points for making Worf be Senor Chang. Continue reading The Daily Nerdgasm: Troy & Abed in Engineering!
