Doctor Who Dinosaurs by Peter Foglesong

Over the past couple of years I have become completely enamored by British TV shows. Being Human, Sherlock, Skins, Luther, Whitechapel, Downtown Abbey... these are some of my favorite shows of the past few years. But it all started when i started watching the current incarnation of Doctor Who on the BBC. Chris Eccleston helped usher the Doctor into a new era, and David Tennant & Matt Smith have helped boost the character to an all time high. It is just great TV. The show has been on in various formats since 1963, so maybe it is fitting that an artist by the name of Peter Foglesong has decided to depict all 11 Doctors as dinosaurs!!! You can check out all 11 of his Doctor Who Dinosaurs by clicking here, but I added my top four after the jump...

'Apocalypse Pizza Video' by Andres Fernandez

Even if their were a zombie apocalypse, people would still have to eat. And what do people love to eat more than pizza? Not much... and what goes great with pizza? How about a video!!! Check out this animated short called "Apocalypse Pizza Video", which shows some enterprising young Parisians making the best of their bad situation and servicing the Paris area with pizza at a time of crisis. This is an extremely well done short by director Andres Fernandez, and I especially love the song selection at 2:15 seconds (wink, wink). Click after the jump for the full video...

Now This Is Who I Would Want Speaking At My Commencement ...

Neil Gaiman is a titan in the literary field, having conquered comics, graphic novels, and even traditional novels. The guy is just a fantastic writer and he is super creative at creating worlds where the readers just get lost. If anyone should be advising recent college graduates on the pitfalls & successes of being a artist, I'll take this guy everytime. So it comes as a shock to me that when Gaiman gave the commencement speech to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia that this was the 1st time he had ever done it!!! And in typical Gaiman fashion, he claims that he will never have to do it again because he laid out pretty much EVERYTHING he knows about going out into the real world and trying to be a professional artist. I love this fucking guy. Check out the 20 minute commencement speech after the jump, and if you haven't read The Sandman comics than you are not a true comic book fan!!!!

Check Out The Promo Posters You Never Saw From 'Kick Ass'

'Kick Ass' is such a wonderful adventure of a movie... basically it is the kind of movie that you watch and say "I can't believe they got away with making this crazy fucking movie!!!". The level of violence, inappropriate situations for the teenage characters, and especially Chloe Moretz's 12 year old bad ass Hit Girl... they are all things that could kill a movie before it starts. Yet they got it done, and it is glorious. So now that they are talking about 'Kick Ass 2', some older promo materials is starting to see the light of day. Check out these four posters that feature Kick Ass, Hit Girl, Big Daddy, and Red Mist. These are pretty cool, showing both the costumed & human side of each characters. And if you are going to make a Kick Ass 2, you must get Moretz back and there must be some flashbacks featuring Big Daddy (Nic Cage FTW!!!). The posters are after the jump...

Lazy Sunday 2: Parns & Young Sandwich Get Down

Saturday Night Live's 'Lazy Sunday' skit came at the exact right time in the world... it was the perfect storm of events. A young up and coming comedian named Andy Samberg had no problem making a fool out of himself, the Internet was slowly gaining steam, and SNL was losing momentum as a show among the younger generation. But then 'Lazy Sunday' saw Chris Parnell & Andy Samberg embracing a great geeky day in Manhattan through a funny rap, and the video got CRAZY hits on a new website, Youtube. It was one of the first times a video LIVED ON long after the broadcast, and the rest is history. Samberg's SNL Digital Shorts have become the stuff of legend (Laser Cats & the Natalie Portman Rap are pure genius!!!) and they may be coming to an end with Samberg possibly leaving the show. So how do you end it on a solid not? You go out the way you started, with Lazy Sunday 2!!! Watch the newest Digital Short after the jump... we will always love love ya Young Sandwich!!!

Dictators On Screen by ???

With Sacha Baron Cohen donning a crazy beard and military garb for his new flick 'The Dictator', it is only fitting to take a look back at some of the other great portrayals of dictators throughout history. This cartoon styled drawing ran on the National Post's website a few days back, yet they don't give the artist/creator credit ANYWHERE on the site. What's up with that??? (If anybody knows the artist responsible for this awesome piece, please leave a comment and let me know so I can give proper credit) Anyway, take a second and click after the jump to see this wonderful peace in full size.
