09.19.07 by Widge @ 12:01 am  That's right, it's September 19th, and that makes it Talk Like a Pirate Day. I know there's been a lot of stuff recently about that whole Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, but I'd like to point your attention to a great pirate performance: namely Walter Matthau in Roman Polanski's Pirates. Granted, the movie was crap, but Matthau was amazing. Anyway, to celebrate this annual arrrrfest, there's a list of our previous pirate-related posts after the jump: Categorized as: Events

08.26.07 by Widge @ 9:51 pm  Seriously, you folks in Vancouver need to take some steps: seems like every year you guys have a zombie uprising. Then they're running through the streets, frightening the animals, eating every living thing that's not nailed down. I mean, come on. I hear they even announce when they're going to be rising ahead of time. Get with it, Vancouver. We were notified of the carnage by the Lady Porphyre. Badass black and white zombie portrait by Meg Bourne. Hey undead girl--you are not screwing around. Rock. Categorized as: Events

If it helps you get the full experience you can, you know, hold your arms up over your head while reading them. I'd say you could shriek too, but our site has that effect on people normally anyway. Categorized as: Events

08.01.07 by Widge @ 6:44 am That's right, folks. The clown shenanigans we previously hinted to might just be here, because August 1-7 is officially Clown Week. No, really, check it out. Just remember, clowns can be scary, scary things. Please take note of the following instructional video. Direct link for the feedreaders. Wait, sorry, that's the wrong one. The real instructional video's after the break. Categorized as: Events

07.22.07 by Widge @ 12:01 am Thanks for General Zod, first of all. I mean, we are all geeks here. So. You knew that was coming. I'm one of five people on the planet who liked Superman 2 better than the original. Just because I loved the idea of a three on one Kryptonian throwdown. And Stamp is the guy who sold it. Direct link for the feedreaders. Of course, he's done plenty beyond that. My favorite in recent memory is Steven Soderbergh's little seen The Limey. I couldn't find the bit online where he gets kicked out of a place and stomped a bit, then has them say hello to his very little friend (which I loved), but after the break is another bit that's almost as good. Sorry for the subtitles. Categorized as: Events
