‘Party Down’ Movie Shooting Next Summer? Please No.
Party Down is one of my favorite shows. There has been talks of a movie. While I care about the characters, and hope the cast of the show financial wealth, my response to there being a movie shot next summer is: please no.

DC’s ‘Justice League #1’ Is The Top-Selling Comic Of 2011. Duh.
It doesn’t surprise me in the least with all the hype behind the DC ‘New 52’ and Justice League #1 and its formerly-amazing creative team of Geoff Blah Johns and Jim Tired Lee that the title is selling well. I don’t know if I saw it selling this much though.
This Week On Breaking Bad: Bug
Wow. If there was any question about whose side Jesse is on, I think any solid answer has been thrown to the dogs. After their brutal altercation at the end of “Bug,” Jesse is looking out for number one from now on – he’s a total wild card. He seems to like Gus more every episode, and you have to respect a guy who unflinchingly walks in front a sniper’s sights, but seeing another man’s head explode may have him looking for a way out.

Infinity Ward vs. Activision Finally Gets A Court Date.
The ongoing legal spat between Infinity Ward founders Jason West and Vincent Zampella and Activision has finally gotten itself a court date. Thank goodness! After all the posturing and hair-pulling, I was beginning to think it would never get locked in endless litigation or whatever goes on in there them courtrooms.
Friday Brew Review – Punk’n
My lust for autumnal brews is absolutely insatiable, transforming me into an ethanol Donkey Kong. Stay out of my way, other beers, or you’re liable to get a barrel thrown off your fucking neck! I’m serious, man! Watch out! The spell has been cast, and only orange-labeled harvest-intoxicants will lubricate my arid braincells properly!
Enjoying a recess from His reaping, the mighty Saturn gazes down into the terrestrial realm. Humans and their dominions, ants and their hills. It’s rustic but aspiring, unrealized but bursting with potential. The brisk breeze cools Saturn’s glistening brow and he smiles upon us in gratitude, for we raise our glasses in his honor. He raises his chalice, teeming with the syrups and elixirs and sweet ambrosial dreams, and reciprocates.
Gods and Men, united in spirits.
Comics Retailer Boycotting ‘Action Comics #1’ over The Blasphemous Letters ‘GD’.
(Click image to enlarge. Via.)
The Comic Conspiracy, a North Carolinian comic book store is boycotting that fucking heathen Grant Morrison and his liberal brain-washing rag Action Comics over a sound effect in the first issue. The sound effect “GD” has been construed to mean “Goddamn”, which still seems pretty ludicrous to me.
Gummy Bears Made From Human DNA? Oh Future. ILU.
All right, listen up all you hippie PETA people who feel guilty eating delicious gummy bears because they’re forged from Mr. Ed’s dumb dead hooves or whatever. The future is now. And in this now-future we can make gummy bears. From human DNA.
Video: Jupiter Rolling Across The Night Sky.
You can see Jupiter in the night sky tonight. Don’t believe me? Believe Phil Plait! Well, okay, you could have right after sunset. People on the west coast! Do it! For me! Did you miss it? Then console yourself with this video made by Emil Kraaikamp of Jupiter rolling across the night sky.
Swoon.
Batman Goes Full On Mech-Armor, Robo-Pimp Hand Is Strong.
Ulises Farinas imagines a world where Batman is the last line of defense. Yeah, we get that a lot. However Farinas imagines a world where the Goddamn Batman has to clamber up into some fucking mech-armor to lay a robotic stink down in an attempt to save the world.
It’s fantastic.
