‘THE AVENGERS’ Agent Phil Coulson gets sculpted into The Vision.
When Agent Coulson bought the farm in Avengers, there was a strong contingent rubbing themselves at the idea of him becoming the Vision. Whether or not he dons the digital life, one talented sculptor has given him the treatment.

James Gunn in talks to direct ‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, and I dig it.
Preface: I haven’t seen Slither or Super, so my opinion is worthless (even more than usual). Keeping that shit in mind, I think it is pretty swell that Marvel is bringing James Gunn into the fold. Thinking outside the box and all that happy horseshit.
Here’s LINK all did up ‘PRINCE OF PERSIA’ style. Pecs are too small, IMO.
Link. Prince of Persia guy. They used to be best friends, until one night at a drunken party Prince Guy totally had elbow over the line in beer pong. Shoves were had. Swear words exchanged. This picture serves as distant memory and commemoration of the good times.
WEEKEND OPEN BAR: movie theater cherry-pop.
[WEEKEND OPEN BAR: The one-stop ramble-about-anything weekend post at OL. Comment on the topic at hand. Tell us how drunk you are. Describe a comic you bought. This is your chance to bring the party.]
Ain’t any narrative experience quite like watchin’ a movie in the theater.
Some’ll tell you that it’s the communal aspect, the fact that everyone has come together for the sharing of a story. From this perspective, the big-screen is the electrically-charged descendent of the fire that our cavemen ancestors gathered `round. Stories are means of sharing ideas with one another, and film accomplishes this unlike any other medium.
Others suggest that the infatuation with the movie-theater experience has actually been rekindled by the recent advancements in home video technology. Sure, it’s easy to stay home and watch a movie on Blu-ray or Hulu or YouTube or Netflix streaming. But at home, it’s just as easy to get distracted by text messages or emails or the baby that just won’t stop crying. But at the theater, there’s no pause button — time and attention are consciously dedicated to the narrative at hand.
And still others attribute the appreciation for the cinema to the fulfillment of a deeply-rooted psychological desire. These folks, who read Freud and Lacan and textbooks that I’ll never understand, draw parallels between wombs and movie theaters — dark, comfortable, and designed for the unilateral providing of sustenance (life-giving and consciousness-altering, respectively). According to psychoanalysis, theaters are uniquely affective.
I won’t try to figure out why, but I know for sure that goin’ to the movies has been the basis for some of the most memorable experiences of my life.
Feel free to twist it, rephrase it, or ignore it, but here’s the jumping-off point for our discussion: What is the first movie you remember seeing in the theater?
Video: HEADBANGING WHILE MAKING FIRE
This may be old as fuck, but Eddie Not a Planet shared this with me today. In but a moment, I was transformed. If two lads ever channeled the spirit of the Omega Brothers while igniting something, it is these lads.
Scientists EXTRACT PRIVATE INFORMATION using off-the-shelf brainware scanners. Good grief.
Welcome to the future, where we can read your mind. We toy with God, and I cannot wait until he decides to smite us. Some scientists have conjured up a way to extract private information from our brains using off-the-shelf brainware gadgets. Sounds bananas. Sounds like Inception but without the painful exposition and boring love story.
Russian all-girl band PUSSY RIOT gets two years in prison for insulting Putin and church.
Every once in a while, even my ungrateful ass appreciates my country. Today is one of those days. It was pretty impressive how Vladimir Putin rigged last year’s elections, and even more impressive how no one around the US gave a shit. This? This is just scary. An all-girl band by the name of Pussy Riot has been sentenced to jail for talking shit about the Ruzzian czar in front of a church.
Video: The ‘BIOSHOCK SONG’ will carry you until Infinite drops.
Bummed out because BioShock Infinite is delayed into infinity and having serious development problems? Sate yourself with this glorious BioShock song.
Vin Diesel is teasing he’ll be The Vision in ‘AVENGERS 2’, people actually believe him.
Golly gosh! With Avengers 2 three years out, the script nowhere in sight, and Vin Diesel categorically one of the worst actors of all time, somehow people are believing the dude may actually be The Vision. This reminds me of that Sean Young tipped the world off to how crazy she was by campaigning for Catwoman.
Real dude named Walter White is wanted for cooking meth. The Multiverse is bleeding!
Within the parameters of the Multiverse, everything that is possible is happening. Keeping that in mind, I ain’t surprised that Walter White has been busted for cooking meth. What concerns me is that the reality where that occurred is beginning to merge with our own. Gulp!
