Haunting of Mort through Murray (Monkey Island series) First off, Murray is a fan favorite. Guybrush blows up a boat full of evil skeletons and “Murray's head is the only thing left. Murray was only supposed to be in one scene in the game, but the producers liked him so much that they kept finding ways to incorporate him into the game later on. D enny Delk does the voice of the infamous Murray. He works for Lucas-Arts in numerous voice functions. Delk has a web page and Twitter page . Murray ends up in the swamp. Murray returns for the fourth game. Murray shows up in the new game Tales of Monkey Island .

How many muscles does this guy have in this picture? Is the Evil Battle Cat also hopped up on steroids too? ______________________________ The Ultimate Warrior Comic Book 2 and 3 Linkara and Spoony take on even more comic craziness with the Ultimate Warrior comic book. I can't believe someone didn't stop him with the first issue. -His tassels on his arms start talking to him. That's right, somehow his tassels have became magical like the chains on Spawn. -Destrucity universe: What the hell is wrong with Warrior? -Jet-Jack? -Wait, there's an evil version of the Ultimate Warrior? Is there a difference? Anyway, here's a bonus clip of Ultimate Warrior showing up on the Arsenio Hall Show. He basically makes an ass of himself, but does stay in complete character. Enjoy...

Dennis Hopper (RIP) Nike Ads Hopper was a legend and he was a major character actor. I'm not going to get into his career because other bloggers have covered it rather successfully. While thinking about his career, I remember all those really cool Nike commercials with Hopper acting like a crazy fan talking about sports people. Hopper's character would stroll around in a baseball hat, long coat and backpack. His character was supposed to be a crazed fan, but I think Hopper's performance was probably closer to many of the crazy sports fans of today. Looking around the Web, it looks like Hopper's character was names Stanley the Referee. Dennis Hopper Horse Shoes & Hand Grenades Nike Commercial : He sneaks into a sport media room and starts shouting “Horse Shoes and Grenades, man!” Dennis Hopper Nike Commercial W/Sterling Sharpe : Junior Seau's Footprint Man : Junior Seau actually shows up in the ad and messes up the sand castle. Deion Sande...

Diff’rent Strokes: The Bicycle Man Due to Gary Coleman’s death, I figured I’d revisit one of Diff’rent Strokes’ most noted episodes other than that Nancy Regan episode. Diff'rent Strokes - 5.16 - The Bicycle Man (1) (2 of 3) Diff'rent Strokes - 5.16 - The Bicycle Man (1) (3 of 3) Diff'rent Strokes - 5.17 - The Bicycle Man (2) (1 of 3) Diff'rent Strokes - 5.17 - The Bicycle Man (2) (2 of 3) Diff'rent Strokes - 5.17 - The Bicycle Man (2) (3 of 3) This is one of the very famous “Very Special Episodes” that the show was known for. After renting out bicycles, Arnold and Dudley find themselves caught up in this strange pedo thing with a creepy bike shop owner (played by the late Gordon Jump). The silly jokes by Arnold do get annoying at times, but even today I think letting kids know that are “bad” people out there that want to harm them is important. I don’t see Sponge Bob talking about pedos. Like most DS very special episodes, it is very ...

Michael Jackson: Dangerous (Launch Base Zone remix) Yuzoboy created another good remix with MJ's Sonic 3 track Launch Base Zone with his Dangerous track. Launch Base Zone is one of those famous tracks that has MJ's style and feel throughout it. Right along with Ice Cap Zone and Carnival Night Zone , it is one of the my favorite MJ tracks from Sonic 3. Act 1 version Act 2 Version : This version is slightly faster than Act 1.

50 Cent has lost a considerable amount of weight. It is crazy that he loss this much weight for a role . The role is for a movie called “Things Fall Apart” directed by Mario Van Peebles and written by 50 Cent and Brian Miller. He lost a 54 pounds to play the role of a character with cancer. From MTV , (("It's myself, Mario Van Peebles, Ray Liotta, Lynn Whitfield, and it's a project that I wrote, produced and financed myself," he said of the film. "It's about a Heisman hopeful who could possibly be going to the league and everyone is assuming he's gonna make it, and then he's hit with an illness. I had a friend of mine who actually experienced cancer, and it's what motivated me to write this screenplay. You don't have to make everything personal, but that project was. That's why I committed to playing a role where I lost 54 pounds. I had to discipline myself enough until I achieved it but ... I got it." ))

Hulk Hogan sues Cocoa Pebbles Cereal (Fred Flintstone) Behold the commercial that offended Hollywood Hogan. For some reason, Hulk found this ad very embarrassing. From ABC , ((The Hulkster says Post Foods stole his likeness to depict him suffering humiliating defeat to Bam-Bam of "Flintstones" fame. Terry Bollea (Hulk's real name) filed the lawsuit in Tampa District Court alleging misappropriation of name and likeness and false endorsement.)) Uh, Hulk, I hate to break it to you but Bam-Bam is a cartoon character. Are you that afraid of Bam-Bam or Fred Flintstone? I can’t believe I looked up to Hulk Hogan back in the day as a hero. Now, he’s a self-centered asshole looking for the next trick to boost his waning career. He forced the cameras into his house and it helped wreck his marriage. He acted like a complete douche when his son was in jail. It is no wonder that most of the wrestlers from his era hate him. Yeah, the ad does use his old na...

Gary Coleman dies at 42 (RIP Arnold Jackson) With countless heath problems, I had a feeling Coleman was going to die this year. Health-wise, he was in very bad shape. He suffered a brain hemorrhage earlier in the week and they took him off of life support on Friday. It has become surreal to be that most of my childhood personalities have died recently. First Michael Jackson and now Coleman, there have been others that make the list too long. Diff’rent Strokes was a huge part of my childhood. Strangely enough, I watched most of the series on its second run through syndication. They would rerun the show on a local station every weekday. I grew up watching the show and even watched the Spinoff The Facts of Life. You can go to any person my age and say, “Whatca talking about?” and they’ll know what your saying. On the other hand, Coleman always seemed like a bitter little guy that always had a chip on his shoulder. Instead of fully embracing his typecasting as ...

Hayley Williams: Nude on purpose or accident? You can c heck out the actual picture here (Not safe for work) She's certainly cute in the face. But, I wouldn't say the picture is that scandalous. It's just her topless looking sexually into the camera. Now, the question is; Did she release the photo on purpose? Hmm, hard to tell. Hayley Williams claims that the topless photo was leaked because someone hacked into her twitter page. F rom MTV.com, ((The Tweet was in response to a topless photo of the 21-year-old singer that began making the rounds that day, which Williams alleged was sent out without her consent by someone who cracked her Twitpic account, but which some online reports suggested may have been accidentally posted by the singer and then quickly removed — but not before it began rocketing across the Internet. )) Now, why would you have a nude picture floating around Twitpic (unless you're a pornstar)? On the other hand, I'm unpleasant to ...

The Oozinator ( The Return ) The board meeting I posted about this thing a few years back , but I had to return this “toy”. After watching the ad, what parent in their right mind let their child have this thing? There just so much wrong with this product that I'm surprised Hasbro even let this thing get through the development stage. Here are a few things wrong with this product. -It looks like a green tentacle thing from those forbidden anime videos. -You have to pump it before shooting it. -It shoots out goo after you pump it. -You shoot your friends with the goo. How in the hell can this be fun for the family? Supposedly, there were many amusing reviews for the Oozinator on Amazon.com , but the site took most of them down. However, there are two reviews still up that are funny. (("SagaciousB": I got my 25 year-old friend this as a birthday gift. We all got to watch him open it in anticipation. The comments made during the opening were well worth...

Columbia University Valedictorian steals jokes from Patton Oswalt (( Oswalt's site )) Did Valedictorian Brian Corman pull a Dane Cook and steal a joke from Comedian Oswalt? F rom Popeater , ((Corman, a political science major, told the story as if it was from first-hand experience. After catching wind of the plagiarism, Oswalt sarcastically tweeted : "Congrats to Columbia University valedictorian Brian Corman! Great speech." )) Owalt should know because he made the joke a couple of years back. Here's Oswalt joke. The only difference is Brian replaces Romulans with Klingons. Yes, the joke is very funny and Oswalt is correct. Sulu fires the phasers. Corman did issue an apology to the comedian. From Popeater.com, ((On his website , Oswalt said Corman "flat-out admitted his thievery, his stupidity," but that the gaffe opens up much larger questions about the former student and, furthermore, the academic standards at Columbia University. )) ...

Have you seen these Target/Lost Commercials? While watching the Lost Finale, you might have come across three of these Lost-themed ads by Target. What’s cool about them is that they actually used certain aspects of the show to promote their products. Where as the Burger King/Iron Man 2 ads were annoying, these three Lost-themed ads were fun. They seem to really capture the feel of the show. Looking around the Web, I discovered that a director from the show (Jack Bender) directed these ads. My personal favorite is the Smoke Monster one. I laughed out loud when I saw it the first time. Smoke Monster Ribs one

Space Channel 5 Part 2: which one of them doesn't belong/Battle of the Bands I like the battle of the bands stuff with Michael Jackson, but I love the “Which one of them doesn’t belong”. This song is a direct call back to Sesame Street. “Guess which of these things doesn’t belong.

Orson Welles' last film as Unicron in Transformers the Movie. Part of me feels really bad that Transformers (86) was Orson Welles' last performance. However, I do remember the advertising people promoting the fact they had Welles in the movie. Despite the huge impact Unicron had on the story, Welles only has about 15 minutes of speaking time. My faverite Unicron line has to be this one; ((Unicron : I have summoned you here for a purpose. Megatron : Nobody summons Megatron. Unicron : Then it pleases me to be the first. )) Side note: Scatman Crothers (Jazz) also died after the release of the movie too.

Random Stuff ~I got to say Katherine Heigl looks very good in this interview with David Letterman. I really like the darker hair. I'd take a dark haired woman over a blond any day. ~ White Women's Workout : This comedy bit was great. Having a black guy chase you around might give you the prefect workout. I couldn't place the face until I realized I saw him on the awful Soul Plane movie. His name i s Godfrey . ~ I've been reading old comic books from the X-O Manowar series . A friend gave me his books and I've been reading thing from time to time. I'm not a huge fan of the series, but it does give you an insight into the direction comic books were going in the mid-90s. The series was set in the Valiant Comics universe. Like Image Comics , some Marvel people started the company. Like many Valiant characters, I really don't find myself cheering for the X-O Manowar. He's like an asshole version of Iron Man. ~Lindsay Lohan is now a p...

Lost: The last episode First off, I really enjoyed the last episode and I found myself teary-eyed at the end. This Finale was better than The Soprano finale. You won’t get all your answers, and actually it doesn’t answer many questions. But as a character study, I found the finale very fulfilling. -I loved the last moment with Jack and Vincent. It was at that moment I got very teary-eyed when Vincent showed up and sat beside Jack in his final moments. Very nice moment… - Frank Lapidus Lives!: I actually got very pleased that he survived the Submarine incident. The actor playing him straight lied about his character’s fate. -The only huge problem I had with the finale is the handling of the Alt-Timeline/Sideways universe. I really wanted it to be a real universe. -Airplane rescue: One great moment is when Lapidus brings the plane into the air. -Jack vs. Smoke Monster: This was a great fight between the two. Smokey does pull a cheap shot by...

Hitler takes the Megan Fox TF3 news fairly badly. Make sure to check out the video . It is the same Down Fall video that everyone does for spoofs, but I really like this one because Fox called Bay a little Hitler.

Pac-Man Google version ! First let the Google page load. Then, it will take a few seconds for the actual logo to change to the Pac-man game. You can then play the game just like the old school game from 30 years ago. Make sure you turn on the sound too. After playing the game a few times, I've noticed how much I suck at the game. I still remember going to the rollerskating ring with my school on Fridays and playing and watching hours of Pac-Man and Miss Pac-Man. This was a time when you actually had to go out and play videogames with people face to face, and not over the damn Internet. People would crowd around you if you got to another level. Anyone remember the really bad Pac-Man cartoon show that came after Miss Pac-Man. I have to admit I like the ghost characters though. They act like they're from the 1930s. Lil' Flip used portions of Pac-Man and Miss Pac-Man in his Game Over song. I like the way they used the Pac-Man sounds as beats in the s...

The world is flat? Wow... I can't believe there are people out there that still believe the planet is flat. You would think after the discovery of space travel would prove them wrong. Before the stupid 911 conspiracy theory guys, you had the Flat Earth Society. Looking at the Wiki page , this group has been around since the mid-50s more or less. Just do a Google search on these folks. Now, I know what you're thinking. “How can these people believe in this stuff in this day and age?” Keep in mind there are people out there that believe in a Space Alien Warlord named Xenu and have created a scam around this belief. Like a bad case of warts (space warts?), these Flat Earth people are everywhere. Facebook, YouTube and twitter. It should also be noted that Sherri Shepherd also thinks the damn planet is flat too! Maybe she can join the group. Is there anyway to connect Xenu into this story?

Was Megan Fox fired or did she quit from Transformers 3? One of the biggest flaws I came away with in TF2 was Megan Fox’s acting. The damn robots were more convincing than her acting. It’s a shame when she can’t even play the “hot girl”. As we already are aware, Fox started bashing director Michael Bay via the Internet and interviews. She seemed to forget that Bay gave her one of her first acting jobs. She made remarks relating to Bay being Hitler. It seems someone got the memo and asked her to leave TF3. F rom MTV.com , (( Deadline.com broke the story that Paramount has declined to pick up Fox's contractual option for "Transformers 3" and that giving star Shia LaBeouf a "new love interest makes more sense for the story," according to an unnamed source. )) Now, keep in mind that Megan Fox claims that she was the one that decided to drop out of TF3. Also from MTV, (("Megan Fox will not be starring in 'Transformers 3,' ...

Land of the Lost To my utter surprise, I really enjoyed this movie a lot. I really have no idea why most critics hated this movie. I do understand why audiences stayed away, because the film is very close to an R-rating. There is a lot of sexual humor in the movie. There is also drug humor thrown in for good measure. I thought the adult humor works for this comedic remake. -The camera guy focuses in on Anna Friel ’s legs and butt region throughout the entire movie. I’m serious. Either the director had a thing for Friel’s ass or his cameraman was getting exhausted holding the camera. - Danny McBride steals the show every scene he’s in. He plays a crazy redneck that does make sense at times. -Did you notice that the astronaut is from the future? Look at his space suit. It seems a bit more advanced than our current space suits. Plus, no one mentions a missing spaceman during the Earth scenes. -Composer Michael Giacchino once again sneaks a hid...

Did you know Tila Tequila is a gossip blogger? That’s right the jack of (off?) all trades has become a blogger just like us. She’s soiled Twitter, Myspace, Ustream, Facebook and Youtube, so I guess it is only natural that she shit on blogging too. Her Blog is named Miss Tila OMG. Just do a Goolge search because I am not going to link it here. She says she wants to go after Perez Hilton’s blog with her own blog. Talk about aiming low. Combining the uselessness of Tila with the annoyance of Perez you get something so rancid that I can’t describe it. But, she basically took the format of Perez’s blog and made it slightly less annoying…with less drawn on penises. I wish I could tell you the site is bad, but it’s more harmless than anything else. I guest that singing career didn’t pan out. Before going to her blog, make sure to listen to h er “wonderful” song “I love you” . My ears are still bleeding from it. While promoting her blog, she decided to sing live...

A barrel full of Monkeys M C posted a very short but funny video involving a monkey of sorts. I posted a comment mentioning the phrase “Barrel full of Monkeys”. And it got me to thinking, “Who really thinks a Barrel Full of Monkeys is fun or funny?” It's not fun for the damn monkeys. Have you tried forcing a bunch of wild monkeys into a damn barrel? And, what happens after you've seen a barrel full of monkeys? Does a second viewing become funnier? So, where does this strange phrase come from? I did a little digging (Praise Google) and found this little gem . ((One monkey arouses a great deal of amusement. Two more than double the interest and amusement. If one were to release a barrel full of monkeys, we must suppose that their antics would become hilariously comical. )) I see, so more is better. I'd just hate to be the Monkey-packer. (That sounds really sexual)

Physical (Olivia Newton-John song) I’m not going to lie, because I really like this old school 80s song from Olivia Newton-John. Probably the main reason I like it is because the song is very dirty if you listen to the lyrics. Take note of these, ((I took you to an intimate restaurant, then to a suggestive movie There's nothin' left to talk about, unless it's horizontally)) That’s right she just came out and said it. Plus, she’s the one taking “him” to the restaurant. She wants to get laid badly. Notes: ~What is up with the fat guys? Why do they change into good-looking guys? ~I love that all the good looking guys end up being gay toward the end of the video. ~There is one section of the song that makes me scratch my head. ((Let's get animal, animal, I wanna get animal, let's get into animal)) Uh, what does she exactly mean by getting “animal”? That’s always bothered me. When watching Glee, they actually brought in Olivia...

Black Eyed Peas Piano Cover “Rock That Body” It is certainly an improvement over the chipmunk-enhanced Furgie voice in the song. Bonus video: Yoonha85TV doing a cover of Thriller with a beatboxer.
