A Little Perception Test

The little perception-awareness test video below has done the rounds around the ‘net, but just in case you haven’t yet seen it, give it a try! You might be very surprised:

Tired: Juno. Wired: Jewno!

The Ginger Ninja just sent me a link to this article about Jewno, which parodies Juno by filtering it through a Jewish lens with high-larious results. The video gets bonus points for getting J.K. Simmons, who played Juno’s dad in the real movie, to reprise his role, but this time with a Crown Heights accent. [...]

For Those of You Sick at Home with SxSARS…

…(SxSARS is the official name of the flu or flu-like ailment caught by a lot of people who attended South by Southwest Interactive), may I suggest this [...]

“Archie” Comics Meet Pulp’s “Common People”

Image from Chris’ Invincible Super-BlogClick the image to see it on its original page.
Back in the mid- to late nineties, one track you couldn’t avoid on alt-rock radio was Pulp’s Common People (from their excellent album, Different Class), a song that pokes fun at the genteel faux-poverty of kids from rich families at art school. [...]

Don’t Do This Either

While not as physically harmful as pouring lighter fluid on the crotch of your jeans and setting it alight, proposing marriage in front of everyone at halftime at a televised sporting event can result in its own kind of damage:

Lasagna Cat: Live-Action “Garfield” Comic Strips!

Lasagna Cat is a site where you can watch videos of costumed actors re-enacting various Garfield comic strips, complete with a laugh track! Each video features a re-enactment of the comic strip, followed by the original comic strip, followed by a music video inspired by the comic strip. It’s odd, but amusing.
Here’s a still from [...]

2008 Batman, Meet 1966 Batman

In case you haven’t seen it, here’s the latest trailer for The Dark Knight, the upcoming Batman movie with Christian Bale in the title role and Heath Ledger as the Joker:

Better still, here’s a trailer that mashes up the audio from the trailer above with scenes from the 1966 Batman movie, in which Adam West [...]

Robot Johnny’s “Super Santa” Animation

I’m not the only person in the Accordion City blogosphere contributing content to the Canadian sci-fi channel, Space — local illustrator par excellence John “Robot Johnny” Martz (he’s also one of the folks behind the excellent blog Drawn!) did the promo animation for Space’s Christmas Superhero Marathon, shown below:

Hotel Drinking Glasses: Not as Clean as You Might Think

I remember chortling at a remark in an old MAD magazine about hotels about the “sanitized for your protection” sash that they used to place across the toilet seat and the “sanitized for your protection” paper in which they wrapped the glasses. The article said that they were probably cleaned with the same cloth.
As the [...]

Watching that sequence, a couple of things came to [...]

The Star Wars Holiday Special

So Bad, Even George Lucas Wants Nothing to Do With It!
Even as an eleven-year-old back in 1978, I knew as soon as the voice-over went…

with special guest stars…Beatrice Arthur! Art Carney! Diahann Carroll! The Jefferson Starship! Harvey Korman!

…that something was about to go terribly, terribly wrong with the Star Wars Holiday Special, a show so [...]

The Flaming Lips Cover “Bohemian Rhapsody”

It’s going to confirm my old fartdom, but I’ll admit it anyway: I’m old enough to remember the days when Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody came out and got played on Top 40 radio. Hence it warms my heart every time the song goes through a revival, whether via Wayne’s World, or more recently, by way of [...]

The Office Accordion

My original accordion, a Titano student model, has been through a lot, from the streets of Accordion City to Burning Man to saving my butt from a mugging in Prague (see this story for details). In spite of a few broken chord buttons, some missing key tops and a slight air leak, I can still [...]
