Servo3000: Live on the Web

Albi the Racist Dragon

Too Many Mother Uckers

(Goodbye) Leggy Blonde

June 2007 goes down as the fourth warmest June on record. In the United States, it was only the 23rd warmest, but the period from January through June was the second driest in the southeast. More detail available at Weather Underground.

Watchmen is officially cast and going into production.  Zack Snyder, of 300 fame, is directing so there is hope for this project.  Like all comic book geeks, I’m nervous as to how this will translate to the screen.  The cast so far:

Night Owl: Patrick Wilson

Dr. Manhattan:  Billy Crudup

Rorshach: Jackie Earle Haley

The Comedian: Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Silk Spectre: Malin Akerman

Some teasers that made their way out of ComicCon.

MSNBC recently posted their top 10 Simpson episodes, which inspired me to do a list of my own.  So here’s my list:
10. Homer Badman – Homer gets charged with sexual harassment after grabbing the Gummi de Milo off the babysitter’s pants.

9. Duffless – Homer gives up beer for a month.

8. Who Shot Mr. Burns? – A two parter, but I’m counting it as one big episode. My favorite part is this Twin Peaks reference.

7. Mr. Plow – Homer buys a plow and opens his own business.

6. Deep Space Homer – Homer wins out over Barney to become an astronaut.

5. Last Exit to Springfield – Homer becomes head of the union. Lisa needs braces.

4. Homer’s Phobia – Guest starring John Waters. Homer thinks Bart is gay and tries to turn him straight. Check out their visit to the gay steel mill.

3. You Only Move Twice – Homer goes to work for supervillain Hank Scorpio.

2. Marge vs the Monorail – Springfield decides to build a monorail to put themselves on the map (just like Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook). Featuring my all time favorite Simpsons song.

1. Cape Feare – The family goes into the witness protection program to escape Sideshow Bob.

I like teasers like this…builds the anticipation while giving nothing away.

Inspired by this comic, people have been sneaking chessboards onto roller coasters (with this pieces glued to the board) and getting some truly awesome souvenir photos. Check them all out.
