That’s When I Saw The UFO

I saw a UFO a couple of nights ago. It was the damndest thing. I saw a UFO. I saw it. Miniscule, a star in the sky. I saw it. Nothing but an orange spec. I saw a UFO. I saw it spiral through the evening sky. Spinning in improbable circles. I’m telling you. It was the damndest thing. One moment a single orange star in the evening, the next moment a bright slash cutting across the sky. Quickly and with purpose. Spiraling through unseen loops, an orange blur across a midnight expanse.
New Images From Filming of ‘Game of Thrones’ Season Two Reveal The Gods of Westeros. Booyah.

New images from the filming of the second season of Game of Thrones has revealed statues of the Gods of Westeros. Even if you haven’t read the books and have no idea who the fuck they are (I’m currently in the middle of the second book), they’re still pretty swank.
Hit the jump to check out them.
Harrison Ford Bitches Out Chewbacca On Jimmy Kimmel.

Harrison Ford ripped into Chewbacca last night on the Jimmy Kimmel show. It wasn’t the most humorous skit I’ve ever seen, but it was nice to see Ford actually acknowledging his Solo roots. Earring still needs to go.

Designer Is Training Fungus Suit To Eat Her When She Dies. Yep.

We all imagine what’ll happen to us when we die. I want to be shot out of a cannon onto a mine field where I’ll (hopefully) explode into a million pieces of Former-Caffeine. Designer Jae Rhim Lee wants fungus to eat her body, and she’s designed the Infinity Burial Suit to help that happen.
‘The Avengers’ Hulk Will Be Leaner, Look Like Mark Ruffalo. Slow News Day!

Now that Thor and Captain America have graced the big screen and pumped our nerd glands, all attention can turn to the upcoming Avengers flick. I want it, I want it so desperately. Heaving chest, panting, pained. The wild card of the flick is the Hulk, being played for the first time by Marky Ruffalo. Is third time a charm? What the funk is he going to look like?
The Leo Triplet Is Three Galaxies Hangin’ Out Close To One Another, Being Gorgeous.
Frank Darabont Steps Down As Showrunner For ‘The Walking Dead’, There Goes That.

Frank Darabont was the single reason I had faith that the second season of The Walking Dead could rally from the pit of utter nonsense and trash that the first season ended in. Now he’s gone. Abandon hope all ye who enter.
Variant Covers: Little Boys, Tight Shorts, and Alan Moore.

Another week, another batch of Variant Covers. The comic book column where I give a cursory glance at release lists and tell you what I’m interested in. I encourage you to share your own most desired of picks, cause I have poor taste, a limited attention span, and I’m always looking to try something new.
