Really well-executed parody of the "Inglourious Basterds" trailer...The sound effects make it.

Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Trailer features Heath Ledger, incredible effects and Tom Waits as Satan. COME ON!
via rayslucky13.com
HOLY GOD there are some crazy trippy insane fantasy films coming out this year. "The Lovely Bones," "Alice in Wonderland," "Where the Wild Goddamn Things Are" and then this mind-bender from Terry Gilliam, featuring the final screen performance from the late Heath Ledger.
The trailer looks a bit like "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen," but with updated special effects and a ton of movie stars. And Tom Waits as the Devil. I'm in.

Is Michael Cera just teenaged American Hugh Grant?
This compilation of scenes of Cera doing his trademark "mumbly embarrassed guy" schtick certainly makes the case that he's been permanently and horrifically typecast. I've seen all these movies/shows save "Nick and Nora" and even I occasionally would need a minute to figure out where a given clip came from. This guy needs to do an action film or something.
Though I've sort of tired of his whole routine at this point, I AM considerably pleased that he's agreed (according to the most recent rumors I've heard) to come back for the potential "Arrested Development" movie. You need the entire Bluth Family intact for that to work, I suspect...

Vanessa Hudgens, @SeanieMic's take on Biz Markie, my man crush and @shiralazar's geek video on TWIYT 57!
via youtube.com
I think this one came out particularly well. Also, I get to insult the people of Belgium, coming right on the heels of my mocking the people of Argentina a few weeks back. Shall we just start doing this alphabetically? Look out, Cambodia!

Limbaugh compares Obama Health Care logo to Nazi Reichsadler
via mahalo.com
There are only two possibilities, to my mind:
(1) The similarity is unintentional. The Obama logo combines a familiar symbol for doctors/medical care along with the classic "Obama logo" from the 2008 campaign. It's just similar shapes.
(2) The similarity is intentional, and Obama is a Shadow Nazi. He's stupidly revealing to us his actual, dark intentions, via the use of logos, and Rush Limbaugh's the only American savvy enough to put the pieces together, sort of like a paranoia-and-Oxycontin-fueled, obese version of Tom Hanks in the "Da Vinci Code."
Can't really decide, though...Both options seem so plausible.
Checked out the big Comedy.com relaunch?

I approve of their anti-Whoopi Goldberg platform, but I strongly disagree with their anti-Blingee platform...hmm...

Barack Obama eats socialist birthday cake
This is a link to an actual blog post in which a conservative lady bitches about not liking the design of Barack Obama's birthday cake. For real. Also, I'm not sure if you guys have heard about this, but he's sort of like the Joker! zOMG!
I just really wanted an excuse to link to a blog that features the following sentence:
"Love him or hate him, George Bush had a real cake for his birthday."
OK, I will grant him that, and only that. George Bush succeeds in a way we typically only celebrate for 1-year-olds and pets - eating a delicious looking cake on his birfday.
Murdoch-owned news websites to start charging
Stung by a collapse in advertising revenue as the recession shredded Fleet Street's traditional business model, Murdoch declared that the era of a free-for-all in online news was over.
"Quality journalism is not cheap," said Murdoch. "The digital revolution has opened many new and inexpensive distribution channels but it has not made content free. We intend to charge for all our news websites."

OK, fine, quality journalism isn't cheap. Agreed. But what about what Rupert Murdoch publishes?

Is it standard cop procedure to "punk" people who try to hire undercover cops as hitmen? Or did they just make a special exception in this case because it was going to be so hilarious and awesome? I'm not sure, but I likes it.

Quite possibly my all-time favorite viral video gets the royal treatment. Talk about TWIYT GOLD! It doesn't get much better than this, folks.
"Mysteries of the Universe" looks into the Dharma Initiative
Really awesome '80s-style TV documentary about Dharma. Look out for their octagonal seal!

Mothers, don't let your babies grow up to be pull-toys
via mahalo.com
Maybe not Mother of the Year material, but this technique certainly seems effective.
But really, I think this is a commentary on the speed of technological advancement and how it affects all our lives. 10 years ago, a mother could TOTALLY get away with dragging her small child by the neck through a Verizon store (or, I guess, back then, a Sam Goody or something). But now, with cell phone cameras and YouTube, it's just not doable any more. We're all going to need some time to adjust.

The Coen's "Serious Man" trailer is blowing my mind right now
via mahalo.com
This looks completely amazing. Flew totally under my radar. Pitch-black comedy from the Coen Brothers, made for less than $20 million. SHIT YES. Opening October 2nd!
Bill O'Reilly doesn't "do" averages
via causecast.org
Either Bill O'Reilly doesn't understand the concept of a "life expectancy rate" or he assumes people who watch his show don't. Either way, it does not bode well for the guy's fans.
This is probably the dumbest thing I've actually heard the man say, which is SIGNIFICANT, because he says really dumb things on TV all the time.

I didn't see this coming. He had so much poise in that role...
Paul Tudor Jones Trader Documentary comes to YouTube
via mahalo.com
WOW...When I worked at the video store, we used to get people requesting this movie, or at least talking about it, and it was utterly impossible to find. Jones asked the director, Michael Glyn, to squash the film back in the '90s, and it was essentially disappeared after that point...No VHS, no Laserdisc, nothing. To have it, you have to have taped it off of TV back in '87.
Yet here is a pretty high-quality version of the entire film, uploaded to YouTube! Hope it's still up this evening so I get a chance to watch the whole thing. What a find! Go Internet!
