Coolest parents.... EVER!!!!!

Here is my current nominee for parents of the year: This couple decided that their child needed a really cool playroom... so they used a REAL wardrobe, made a hole in the wall behind it that lead to another room, and created a Narnia right there in their house!!!! This is the coolest thing I have ever seen... wow!!! You also have to go over to Reddit where the pics were posted to read some of the funny comments that were left in relation to this project. Check my personal favorite quote and pics of the project after the jump...



My favorite Reddit quote:

If it was my kid, I would let her have the room until she starts to lose interest in it, and then I would quietly cover the back of the wardrobe and seal the room. Eventually, she'll want to go back to Narnia, but all she'll find is an ordinary wardrobe and a solid wall behind it, and I will maintain that the room she keeps talking about never existed.
Admittedly, this is probably why I should not have children.








Watch The Ladies Of Mad Men Get Their Supremes On!!!

Fuck a Zoobie, Zoobie, Zoo.... watch the ladies of Mad Men get supercut into a awesome rendition of The Supreme's claasic "You Keep Me Hangin' On". Not that I minded Mrs. Draper's sexy french song & dance in the season premiere, but this video is much funnier and features the Big Red Boob Machine that is Christina Hendricks. Gosh I love her. And Alison Brie. And January Jones. But Peggy... not so much!!! Enjoy the video after the jump...



Wizard of Oz Silkscreen Posters by David O'Daniel

David O'Daniel is one hell of an artist, and through his affiliation with San Francisco's Castro Theater he is gaining quite the following. He creates silk screen posters for classic films that are released in conjunction with the screenings of those films at the theater. His blog, Alien Corset, chronicles all his release... and all of them are special in the own right!!! The ones that are currently at the top of the list are his Emerald & Ruby edition Wizard of Oz series. These three posters come in two colors and look beautiful. You gotta love the inclusion of the flying monkey's, no? Take a look at a gallery of both series after the jump and check out the Castro Theater if you are in the San Francisco area...










How It SHOULD Have Ended: Pulp Fiction

The gang of at How It Should Have Ended do a great job drawing animated sequences that show us how many of the films we all know and love SHOULD have ended. These 2-4 minute clips are usually quite humorous and filled with truths... often times truths we as film fans don't want to acknowledge. Why should we use common sense when it is so much easier to suspend belief and swallow the unbelievable endings we are often forced to endure? Even though HISHE has had many, many videos in the past, my favorite has to be their take on Pulp Fiction. HISHE sums up all the storylines in the film, in a realistic way that will make you smile! Take a look at that one after the break, and click here to see many more of their videos...



And I Said To Myself... What A Wonderful World!!!!

People get attached to the settings in every type of entertainment they consume,whether it is movies, books, video games, comics or anything else. The setting is so key to the background story that it often overshadows a majority of characters in the work, save for the most important characters. I mean, think how much more you remember about Hogwarts as opposed to the literally 100s of non main characters in the 7 books by J.K Rowling. Or how about the fact that after 20 years I can still remember how to navigate Hyrule when I downloaded Zelda on my Wii, yet forgot ALL of the 8 final bosses names in the game except for level 9 baddie Ganon? The setting can often make the story what it is and be the driving force in a work of fiction. With that being said, this is the most complete map of fantasy lands that I have ever seen. I have not been able to locate the creator of this map (I hate not creating brilliance) but all the links I am finding around the web seem to go back to the I WASTE SO MUCH TIME blog. So check them out cause their blog is cool and seems to be pretty chill. Tell em CCD sent ya! Check out a larger version of the map after the jump and see if you can figure out oall of the locations and what properties they come from... enjoy your trip!!!



He's Back... Back In The San Dieg-ian Groove!!!!

Anchorman may very will be one of the funniest movies ever made, and it is definitively one of Will Ferrell most memorable performances. Even people who are not the biggest Ferrell fans find something likeable in the laugh fest that is Anchorman. The supporting cast (Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell, Christina Applegate, cameos by Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Ben Stiller, etc...) is superb and the quotable lines are way to many to list here. But for the past 5 years we have been teased at the possibility of a sequel to no avail, as Paramount has balked at the sequel plans for quite sometime. But a certain Jazz flute playing newscaster showed up on Conan the other night and dropped a bombshell... as well as some witty comments and insults directed towards Conan. We will have a Anchorman 2 sequel!!!! Watch the full clip after the jump for the announcement and some fresh Ron Burgundy to brighten up your day!!!






And in celebration of this announcement, here is my favorite scene in the whole movie:

Wu-Tang Wednesday: U-God & Method Man - "Wu-Tang"


We have been off the Wu Tang Wednesday bandwagon for a minute, but today we are back like we left something!!! Welcome to Wu Tang Wednesday, where we celebrate the wonderful history of music from the world's greatest hip hop group, the Wu Tang Clan!!! Today we check in on U-God, the least vocal member of the clan, who came out with a dope album entitled "Dopium" in 2010 to very little fanfare. One of the best tracks on the album was a collabo with the most popular member of the clan, Method Man, entitled "Wu-Tang". It features a banging beat that is very in line with what the clan was doing back in the mid 90s and the hook is quite catchy. Check out the video after the jump and spread the word....celebrate Wu Tang Wednesday all day baby!!!!








Mount Playmore by ???

I found this excellent design for a t-shirt over at Busted Tees and I am pissed because the site does not name the designer of the shirt. It is entitled Mount Playmore, and features the Nintendo  Holy Quadumvirate  of Mario, Donkey Kong, Samus Aran, and Link set in stone like they rightfully deserve. I hate not being able to being able to give credit to an artist, but this one was too good not to share. You can pick this one up for 20 bucks by clicking here and can see the detailed photo of the design after the jump...



Where Do Monsters Go On Vacation?

Why... Hotel Transylvania of course!!!  What a great idea for an animated movie. Take the classic Universal Monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy, etc)  and place them on vacation in a monsters only resort that is made for them to get some rest & relaxation away from the general public, and then introduce a regular person into the mix to throw everything off. This sounds perfect!!! Think about how much trouble the little girl (Boo) caused in the monster world in Monsters Inc... it is the classic role reversal story made more interesting due to the presence of monsters. Add in a great voice cast (Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Kevin James, Selena Gomez, Steve Buschemi, Ceelo Green, David Spade) from the regulars at Happy Madison and you get one hell of a good looking animated film... I hope Sandler & his crew sticks to these animated movies instead of the latest shit movies he has been putting up on the big screen. Check out the full trailer after the jump...



Why Is Dad So Mad? by The Board of Education

When you are a geek you love to uncover little nuggets of cool shit to rub in your friends faces and proclaim yourself  a more accomplished geek among your friends. But as you get older and have kids, you take much more pride in seeing your kids make good decisions about geek properties. Case in point: Star Wars. While I am a fan of the prequels, to me the original trilogy reigns supreme. Imagine how proud of my nine year old I am when he tells people that Empire Strikes Back is his favorite of the six... it's better than him making the honor role!!! The kiddies are the future though, so I bet it is a bit confusing to them when they see us get so disgusted with something threatening one of our beloved properties. Enter the kids musical group The Board of Education, who have created a song entitled "Why Is Dad So Mad"  to help our kids understand why we curse George Lucas so much about something we supposedly love... Thanks to fellow proud poppa Joe Fletch for sending me this. Now if I could only get Mikey to understand why Voltron is so much better than the Power Rangers...







Defective by Glennz

The original 60's Batman TV series was a camp classic, filled with guest stars and word bubbles describing the action. It is one of my fondest memories of TV watching as a child... anywho, the show spawned a full length feature that is a dream come true for a fan of the show because it is like three episodes in one and features all four of Batman's most notorious villains (Joker, Penguin, The Riddler, and Catwoman). It also contains one of the most memorable "Bat-Moments" of all time in which Batman is attacked by a shark and tries to fight it off with his bare hands. He is only successful in ridding himself of the shark when Robin passes him a can of "Shark Repellent"... it is so ridiculous that it has become a touchstone moment in pop culture history! T-shirt artist Glennz decided to use this scene as inspiration for his newest shirt, "Defective". Great shirt in memory of a great team...




And here is the original scene:

Image Avalanche #12 by Cal From The Cave of Cool


Guess whose biz-ack??? Cal is embracing the spring and coming out of the winter and hitting us up with another Image Avalanche to make our days a bit brighter. His collections of images always make me smile, and their randomness seems to work in some unorthodox roundabout way. You ready to get your mind blown? Get it in after the jump.... and make sure you spread the love in the comment section so that our brother from a Canadian mother knows just how much we love him!!!
