Creature From The Black Lagoon The Musical: He's Hungry
Posted on 07.02.09 by Widge @ 6:22 pm

I posted a year ago that the Creature From the Black Lagoon musical was coming this spring. And I even offered some swag to anybody who would review it. It's playing at Universal Studios Hollywood--but nobody's taken me up on the offer. I'm just saying.

Anyway, if you've been wondering exactly what such a musical might look like, here's some footage that got posted thanks to Dread Central.

Direct link for the feedreaders.

On one hand, the Creature participating in a rawk love ballad is pretty funny. On the other hand, are they singing what I think they're singing? Wow.

Colors Are Overrated Digest #10
Posted on 06.22.09 by Widge @ 2:11 pm

That's right: don't be too proud of this dorktological terror you've constructed. Because it's time for another round of items that are friendly to those of us who find colors to be yesterday's news and agree that black is the new black.

Bow Tie Fighter from Snorg Tees

  • And we kick off today with the Bow-Tie Fighter shirt from Snorg Tees. Because some things are just so geektastic that you have to just step back and marvel at their audacity. This shirt is two of those things. You can find it here.

    Hodgman With the Tough Questions for Obama, By Crom
    Posted on 06.20.09 by Widge @ 5:44 pm

    Friend to you and me, Prof. John Hodgman, was the entertainment speaker at the Radio & TV Correspondents' Dinner. He took the opportunity to explain the difference between nerds, geeks and jocks--and strives to place President Obama into one of those groups.

    Direct link for the feedreaders.

    Both Paul and Storm and Ken Plume make a case that perhaps Hodgman should be our current the Minister of Geek Affairs rather than Wil Wheaton. But, hey, I must say: the people elected Wheaton. So you know how that goes.

    Warriors of the Wasteland - Adverse Video Review
    Posted on 06.17.09 by Bob the Zombie @ 4:42 am
    Warriors of the Wasteland movie poster

    1982 was apparently a great year for crappy movies to find their way over to American soil. To truly understand the meaning behind the rating of this film just remember "The One's" most important line from Warriors of the Wasteland: "It's against the rules to interrupt me!…Now Go! Hate and Exterminate!"

    This film pits a death-squad called "The Templars" against "The Scorpion," a former Templar who wishes to live in peace...in a desert nuclear-post-apocalyptic future in the year 2019 A.D just after 1970s synthesized music made its way out of mainstream movies and into porn.

    While the potshots at handle-mustache-wearing-renegade-soldiers-from-Spaceballs makes the first few minutes and the first of NINE (count 'em) dune buggy/golf cart/mustang-with-a-dome (why does it have a dome again?) car chase scenes remotely bearable. The other EIGHT dune buggy/golf cart/mustang-with-a-dome car--oh and metal skull as a dashboard ornament (can't forget that)--chase scenes and lack of plot, aren't all that bearable.

    Seriously, how many bad car chase scenes without explosions does a movie really need, if it isn't Dukes of Hazzard? Really, are you serious? You really want me to like ALL NINE of the NINE dune buggy/golf cart/mustang-with-a-dome car chase scenes and not fast-forward through them?

    Happy Birthday, Cirque du Soleil
    Posted on 06.16.09 by Widge @ 7:10 pm

    So Cirque du Soleil turns 25 today. And if you haven't seen Cirque live, then you're missing a trick. And you probably should fix that. Because...well, let me just show you this.

    This is from Quidam. And when I saw this live in Atlanta, at about 3:13 into this video is when I became a fan of Cirque for life. Just watch.

    Direct link for the feedreaders.

    That might not work for you. But it still works for me. And I think it's moments like that which made Quidam my favorite...where it's remained, though I've seen every touring show since. And I should probably get my arse to Vegas quickly, before they open more shows there than I could possibly afford to see.

    After the break is probably one of my two favorite acts in all of Cirque-dom, the other being the trampoline madness known as the "power track," (which I first saw in Orlando at La Nouba) although I couldn't find a good enough vid to post here. But this--the Wheel of Death--was one of the really impressive bits from Kooza.

    You can find our other Cirque-related stuff here, BTW.
