The Daily Nerdgasm: Darth Vader As Voiced By Arnold Schwarzenegger
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. (Found @ io9) Continue reading The Daily Nerdgasm: Darth Vader As Voiced By Arnold Schwarzenegger
So Lena Dunham Is The New Millenium Pia Zadora, Right?
Someone (HBO, Judd Apatow, her dad) bought that Golden Globe win for Ms Dunham just like Pia Zadora’s hubby did for her because that can be the only explanation for how she won. Let the wondrous Wikipedia explain it to ya: In 1981, Pia Zadora won a Golden Globe in the category “Newcomer-of-the-Year” for her performance in Butterfly, over such competition as Elizabeth McGovern (Ragtime) and Kathleen Turner (Body Heat). Accusations were made that the Foreign Press Association members had been bought off. Zadora’s husband, multimillionaire Meshulam Riklis, flew voting members to his casino, the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, … Continue reading So Lena Dunham Is The New Millenium Pia Zadora, Right?
The Best Cover Of An Adele Song By A Middle-Aged Stand-Up Comic
Paul F. Tompkins (a regular on those VH1 “I Love The 80s” shows)may be dressed like the proprietor of an old timey ice cream parlor and he may rock one of the best examples of a pornstache in modern times but he sings the heck out of Adele’s “Skyfall”. Brava, funnyman! Continue reading The Best Cover Of An Adele Song By A Middle-Aged Stand-Up Comic
Tywin Lannister Reads Fifty Shades Of Grey
Aside from being pretty damn funny…actor Charles Dance drives home the absolute wretchedness of E.L. James’ writing with his line readings of one of the more randy sections of 50 Shades of Grey. Click onward for the video.

The 5 Worst Things To Happen To Pop Culture In 2012
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.

The 5 Best Things To Happen To Pop Culture In 2012
Superhero Movies Continued to Rule At the Box-Office
It seems like every year that naysaying prognosticators predict that the public’s love for movies about superheroes will fall out of favor and every year those bootleg Nostradamus’s are proven wrong. 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.

The Most Bizarrely Wonderful Moment From This Season of American Horror Story
Jessica Lange’s Sister Jude putting on her best Dusty Springfield impression to sing a rousing rendition of “The Name Game” complete with a fully choreographed dance routine featuring a bunch of mental patients had to be the best thing to appear on TV so far in this new year and was hands down the best moment from this (really cool) season of American Horror Story.

Training Montage Montage Video
This could have probably been done with just clips from Rocky movies and the use of Joe Esposito’s “You’re The Best” (which is the best movie montage song ever) is just perfect. Mucho props go out to the fine folks at Slactory for putting this together. Continue reading Training Montage Montage Video
The Lowest Grossing Movie of 2012
According to Box Office Mojo, The Ghastly Love of Johnny X was the lowest grossing film of 2012 bringing in a paltry $86 on its opening weekend and ending up with just a total of $117 during its run in one theater last year. I personally don’t see why it crashed and burned since a peek at the trailer showed glimpses of “so bad it’s good” awesomeness. There were musical numbers, aliens, a zombie rock star (portrayed by Creed from The Office), bad girls with switch blades, and Paul Williams! What’s not to like about all of that?
