Pingu Meets The Thing

Apparently, Pingu is a claymation television show about a penguin created for Swiss television. I'm willing to bet this episode wasn't necessarily run on public television...

So, for all you people who always wanted to see what a reimagining of The Thing using claymation and penguins, but never thought you would - your dreams have been answered!

Jaws: The Ride. A Retrospect

Not sure if you heard the news that Universal Park's Jaws ride is being phased out after over 20 years of scaring/reliving the famous movie moments. And while it's probably too late to get on board now, this cool video gives you the next best thing. Enjoy.

The Price is Right: Snoop Dogg Edition

Apparently it's Celebrity Week on The Price is Right. And who better to help out than Snoop Dogg?

Mildly related: I'm pretty sure if this rapping thing doesn't work out, Snoop Dogg could fall back on life coaching. The man is nothing but positive!

Netflix new Series: Lilyhammer

Netflix is about to break off some original programming. Their first foray? Lilyhammer, a show starring Steven Van Zandt as a mob informant transplanted to Norway. Allegedly it's a comedy...

Thoughts? Personally, I think this is another misfire for Netflix. I don't see Van Zandt being a capable lead, don't see Norway as a location that is going to grab American viewer interest, and don't think blending comedy and drama is the right move.

But what do I know? (Aside from the facts that I could have guessed a pay increase would have been met with negativity, a split of two services was a bad idea, and would have never named a company after something that sounded like an Atari 2600 game.)

Happy New Year

Let's start off the New Year with a bang...specifically a Danish bang:



Homemade cannon? Awesome.

Johnny Cash playing in the background? Awesomer.

The outcome of combining the two? Awsomest.
