MASTODON – DEATHBOUND!
The fine folks at Adult Swim have used an unreleased track from Mastodon’s Crack the Skye as the soundtrack for one of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time. You’re guaranteed to love it – unless, of course, you don’t like puppets, gunshots, monsters, UFOs, robots, explosions, or metal.
And if that’s the case, I’m going to have to ask you to leave.

300 Sequel Isn’t ‘Xerxes’ Anymore. Now Titled ‘300: Battle of Artemisia.’
As much as I like Gears of War, or Fast and the Furious, or Rocky III for my fill of overtly homoerotic Freudian wet dreams, none were so flagrant and glorious as 300. Where is my second coming of dudes all but coming on one another? Running around, phallus in hand, glazed with sweat and spitting about camaraderie. I need it!
There was a sequel promised. Xerxes! I looked to it for this fill. It stalled, but it may live once more as 300: Battle of Artemisia.
360 Is Selling Twice As Many Online-Capable Games As PS3.
When it comes to the sales of online-capable games the 360 is crushing the PS3. Straight-up top-rope elbow dropping that sumbitch.
U.S. Citizen Facing Jail Time In Canada For Manga On His Computer.
There’s a U.S citizen in jail in Canada right now because he was caught with manga on laptop. The same citizen is also being forced to register as a sex offender. When did America’s Top Hat turn into a bunch of fucking fascists?
Betelgeuse Sheds Billions of Kilometers of Space Dust. Colossal.
That red outlined spec in the middle of that picture is Betelgeuse. The roaring, rumbling, amorphous sexily shaded cloud surrounding it is an enormous nebula of dust.
Paramount Is Backing Aronofsky’s ‘Noah.’ Hell Yes. (Heaven Yes?)
Darren Aronofsky wants Noah to be a huge-ass event bio-apocalypse flick starring Christian Bale. That takes many a cheddar to make happen, and Aronofsky has been trying to find funding for the project.
With reports that Paramount is joining the fray, that search seems over.
Marvel Explains Why They Reveal Deaths To The Media Early. Hint, Money.
Last week, Marvel revealed the death of Ultimate Spidey in USA Today a day before it dropped on shelves. This seems to be a regular occurrence for the studio these days, so the intrepid souls at Comics Alliance wanted to know why. Fucking why.
The explanation isn’t complicated.

The Rock Is Going To Be In ‘G.I. Joe 2’. Fecaltainment Of The Year.
I loved the original G.I. Joe flick. I didn’t remember the cartoon so I wasn’t going in wanting to see the mythos treated with reverence. Or respect. I just wanted fun. I got fun. Ludicrous, fecaltaining fun. When a sequel was announced, I was totally there. Now that The Rock is in it, I am at blue-headed priapism excitement level.
THIS WEEK ON True Blood: She’s Not There
I tried to approach this season of True Blood with a healthy set of expectations. I told myself that it is, at best, pulpy empty fun. Even with that in mind, whew. Going from Game of Thrones to True Blood in the span of a week is fucking brutal. Brutal! It wasn’t that the season four premiere was awful. It was the same as the last two seasons or so have been. Intermittently entertaining, trying too hard to cram in too much story, and at times utterly painful to consume.
