"Look, we got it covered. We’re just trying to find a place to put Mike’s yogurt while we do the job." - Sam, Burn Notice
Don LaFontaine is a name that will likely come as a strange one to the average person. If you can identify who he is and what he’s famous for, you are probably in the minority.
But if you could hear him speak one sentence, you’d recognize him instantly.
I’m embarassed to say that I knew the name vaguely when I heard it today, but couldn’t place it. But once I read he was the King of Voiceovers, I remembered who he was and was suddenly bummed out by the news that he passed away on Monday.
As I write this short little article on Sunday night, I’m just hoping that the copyright police don’t get to YouTube’s powers-that-be and take it down before you guys have a chance to see it.
After we got The Office Olympics and Flonkerton, now comes Slapface, directly from the genius mind of Jim Halpert.
This site is devoted to pop culture/entertainment, and while we tend to focus on movies, comics and television more than anything else, we still like to bring you other things that are hot out there, especially viral videos that are making big splashes on YouTube.
I saw this video on The Today Show this morning, and found out that it’s blazing across the web and making the entire world smile.
A brief post here to tell you guys about this new superhero show debuting tonight on ABF Family called The Middleman.
It’s been getting some good reviews, and IO9 calls it the most anticipated superhero show since Heroes. Of course, I’m not sure much else in the same genre has come out since then, but still.
I’ll never stop pimping Flight of the Conchords, be it the TV show or just their music in general, so I had to pass on this little video from some college guys.
On their graduation night, The Carleton Singing Knights of Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, performed their own a cappella version of the Conchords song, Sello Tape.
The final episode of this year for Battlestar Galactica is called Revelations and it’s on this Friday. The hype surrounding it continues to grow for me, and judging from the previews I’ve seen, it has ever right to.
I’ve got two to show you, the first being the one you likely saw after the episode on Friday, the second is from the Canadian Space Network, their own version of The Sci Fi Channel.
Back in March when Jericho was nearing it’s end, we wrote a bit about the fact that the producers of the show filmed two different endings in case the series wasn’t canceled.
Sadly, we all got to watch the one that gave us a nice conclusion. It wasn’t something we wanted to see, but with the series likely over, they chose to go with that one.
Saw this a few days ago on YouTube, found it funny and of course had to pass it on.
What would happen if Jason Bourne had been played by Waldo? This humorous video clashes the Bourne Identity with Where’s Waldo.
Enjoy!
This is pretty hilarious, you might have seen it already, but if not, you should take a look.
The 2008 National Spelling Bee just took place, and the winner was the kid in the video below, Sameer Mishra. But before he got to the end, he received a word that threw him off a bit:
Numnah
Woooo, here’s another great find today after the Lost season four finale last night. It’s very spoilerish if you haven’t seen the episode, so watch it at your own risk!
It’s hard to believe the season finale of Lost is nearly upon us. Tomorrow night, we get the two-hour episode to end the season and leave us all in suspense for what will undoubtedly feel like an eternity.
Well, before we get to that, there is a little video that a fan put together that shows us all the flash-forwards so far in CHRONOLOGICAL order. It’s around eight and a half minutes long, not too bad, and really helps you get a grasp on when things occurred in relation to each other.
I just had to post this little video I found over at Galactica Sitrep. Some crazy person took the theme from Battlestar Galactica and threaded it with scenes from Lost to give us:
Battlestar Lostica.
So I read the graphic novel Watchmen earlier this year and it was pretty amazing. With the movie version of Watchmen coming in 2009, it was a must-read for me and of course it came highly recommended.
The director of the movie, Zack Snyder, put up a contest yesterday that is actually pretty cool if you [...]
This crossed my line of vision yesterday and I just had to pass it on. I don’t know who would take the time to put something like this together, but it must have taken an extraordinary amount of work and time to accomplish.
If you are a fan of Lost, you know there are tons of [...]
I’ve blabbed on and on about Battlestar Galactica: Season 4 so much I’m sure you are all sick of it. That’s fine, but if you are a fan of the show, I probably could have posted much more stuff and you’d have been okay with it.
So say we all!
Now the day of the premiere is [...]
