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.

Gods and Men, united in spirits.

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.

I’m a sucker for the post-apocalyptic, the thriller, the commentary on society, and gorgeous cinematography. When I saw the first couple of trailers for Contagion I thought to myself that it looked corny, if not a bit enjoyable. When I left the theater tonight after seeing it, I was giving pause and wondering if anything outside of Tree of Life this year had gripped my brain-piece as hard.

Lisa Nolan was cast to play a King’s mistress in the next season of Game of Thrones. She has thrown up the deuces and left the series after she got into a dispute over having to bare some flesh. She clearly didn’t watch the first season.

During a commercial break in tonight’s NFL Kickoff extravaganza, Sony unveiled the first TV spot for Uncharted 3. It’s Uncharted 3 footage. The fuck else do I have to say, huh? Every time I remember this game is coming I begin to breath too heavy and there’s a certain buzzing in my ears that says “Drink the blood and you shall receive it early.”

Phew!
