Tim and Eric isn’t for everyone. However, it is for me. As someone who exists with serious emotional chasms of horror and a taste of the absurd, I flock to their madness. Call it their Siren Song. The trailer for their upcoming movie? Had me giggling to myself, petting my stuffed ferret who was happily sitting on my naked thighs.

Hit the jump to check it out.

I miss me some Game of Thrones. At least once a Sunday I mention this to OL’s programmer as we sit down to watch television, and while I think he agrees he’s definitely tired of hearing it. I see the hate in his eyes. Or is it lust? Or both? Anyways!, some good Game of Thrones news. They (may) be filming the third and fourth season back-to-back.

All hands on deck! We’re approaching terminal velocity on Spaceship Omega, hurtling towards the end of the workweek at breakneck speed! Ah hell, we should’ve recalibrated the autopilot! The social contract allows for an early reprieve from indentured servitude this week, and now we’re rocketing ahead at a rate that’s virtually guaranteeing a crash landing.

Brace yourself! We’re going to smash right into Planet Thanksgiving, and our survival is dependent on the ability to craft entertainment-cushions.

Luckily, this here’s the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! In this Monday feature, I show off the various bits of enjoyment I’ll be using to try to make life awesome. Then, your job is to hit up the comments and share your wares.

It’s internet show and tell. And we love it.

I miss Game of Thrones  with the fierceness. The first season was over before I knew it, and the wait for the second season is interminable. HBO dropped a production teaser tonight, and glory be. Glory be to The Seven.

Talk about a fucking coupe de grace. While I feel like the last person in the world who actually enjoys Netflix, I think there’s going to be some good will coming its way. They’ve landed the exclusive rights to air new Arrested Development episodes.

There’s a Doctor Who movie coming, and it is being helmed by David Yates. You may know him as the director who helmed the last four Harry Potter movies, expertly guiding them into a world of mediocrity.

Take a breath. You’re safe. I promise.

I know that you were probably scared out of your wits today. It’s okay. I was too. Hell, who wouldn’t be terrified at the prospect of having to spend every single Monday from now until retirement/death/tiger-mutilation lamentin’ existence. Oh, you didn’t think that I heard you? I did. In a way, actually found your exasperated sighs lyrical.

“Motherfucking rat race life! How’m I supposed to keep doin’ this without going postal? Arggh!”

Take another breath. I’ve got the solution. You’ve come to the right place.

This here’s the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE, OL’s workweek refugee camp. What we do is showcase the various bits of entertainment and pop-culture detritus that we’ll snack on throughout the week, consuming just enough Nerd Calories to get us to the weekend. I’ll go first, then you’ll hit up the comments section and show off your recipe for ennui-repellent.

Who wants to dance?

Brian K. Vaughn wrote some of my favorite episodes of LOST, but more important to most is that he is the writer behind Y: The Last Man. He can script with the fervor, thunder, et cetera. It is this thunder he’ll hopefully bring to his forthcoming Stephen King adaptation.

The Walking Dead isn’t a good show. It’s not! It was awesome. Then it was awful. This season it’s been tepid. Hopefully it’ll figure itself out and return to its (short, short) glory days. AMC has announced the show will have even longer to find its stride again, renewing it for a third season.
