This is going to be huge. Written by a 5 year old with art by his 29 year old brother…

…or It’s a new Amyrikan TV show which is good fun. I’ve only watched one episode so far, but it’s action/humour balance seems to please me. Like the original A-Team combined with Oceans 11. I know we have an over abundance of these crime shows, but sometimes they can be good.

I hate clothes. They cost money AND they cover my body. I have newspapers to do that. Some of my friends who are generally reguarded as being “well dressed” find themselves spending real money on something they never wear. I myself have been known to use a knapkin only to callously throw it away without wiping my extremities. I felt like quite the poshy. Anywhoo… most people seem to know about the artistry of clothes and what not, so it is good to hear about this scheme by Save the Children where you don’t hand in shit, because that’s what they tend to get. One of these shops has opened in Edinburgh CHECK IT HERE. I won’t pretend to know who Mary Portas is, but I like the cut of her jibb. (Edinburgh shop details here)…

Okay, so the first part of this video is a bit infomercial-y.  But I think this gadget/instrument/toy has much potential.

Possibly fake. Probably over-acted. Definitely funny.

I was gonna post about the Baftas, but I realised that I had nothing to say on the subject whatsoever. As usual. Instead, check out Dr Mcninja if you haven’t already. It’s a super-good web comic about an Irish-of-origin ninja who is also a doctor, written by Chris Hastings. The website has a page for new readers, kinda like a best-of which you should peruse at your whim. I guarantee Benjamin Franklin clones, horsemen of the apocolypse, Dracula on the moon, mexican dinosaur bandits, pirates, zombie ninjas and hilarity. It’s more interesting than the Baftas.   

Mcninja T-shirts, books and merchandise can be bought from here with moneys.

We all knew it would happen; the day we posted an article that involved Twitter, Shatner and a grumpy man. This is that day folks. Kiss your loved ones one last time and make peace with your furry maker.

The Shat has reportedly signed on to do a pilot for a comedy series based on someones Twitter page. WTF? I’ll let that sink in with the help of this video;

 Hopefully after that you are all in the right frame of mind to discuss this. Now I know as much about Twitter than I do about small break-dancing Indian kids (dancing, breaking, kids and India are all things that I am so ignorant of I fear them). But this Twitter account here  by twitterer or tweeterer or tweety Justin(shitmydadsays) catalogues the hilarious, genius and bizzare things his dad has said to him. Some of my favourites include;

“No, I’m not a pessimist. At some point the world shits on everybody. Pretending it ain’t shit makes you an idiot, not an optimist.”

“The baby will talk when he talks, relax. It ain’t like he knows the cure for cancer and he just ain’t spitting it out.”

“Here’s a strawberry, sorry for farting near you…Hey! Either take the strawberry and stop bitching, or no strawberry, that’s the deal.”

It’s pretty funny reading, this father figure is quite the philosopher. So they are gonna make a show around it with Shatner as this dad saying shit. Apparently, as well as the pilot sit-com, there is already a book deal. Not to be outdone by technology the Shat naturally has his own Twitter page, by the way.

That grown man is me. Lots of geeky catches for us Doctor fans to argue over… River Song’s return, the weeping angels vs. the military, Daleks vs. mallets, and the Doctor using a gun… to name but afew…  

Yes. One of the events that we failed entirely to catalogue during our absence was the release of Cameron’s Avatar. Smurfs on acid, Thundercats in Fern Gully, yadda yadda yadda. It was good. Below, witness babies try to take over the adult world in this funny haha box…

What better way to spend the day of love than by dressing up as a klingon I ask you? None, you reply, whilst a single tear rolls down you cheek.

These guys broke the world record for most people in Trek costume in one place. All to promote the new Star Trek online game. I really need to find a reason to wear my TOS costume. Other than…you know… to watch TV.

After downloading the Star Trek LCARS screen saver from here, which is great, I found myself transfixed by my inert laptop whilst it displayed the beautiful designs that helped Michael Okuda win Nasa awards and shit. Turns out that after the whole moon landing nonsense they’re giving awards out to anyone. (Joke). I was reminded of this youtube video of a man who can control his house using the LCARS system (for you non-trekkies LCARS= touchy display). I forgot how creepy this video is. Maybe it’s just me… (Heavy panting begins) ….

Often I feel that I buy something only to discover that I didn’t need it, that the thing was within me the whole time. Or something. Enjoy this flash from Newgrounds legends Cyanide & Happiness with vocal work from Egoraptor about a man who discovers that he can sit anywhere. Such freedom comes with a price.

You know it’s a good day when you can post anything even slightly related to Bill Shatner. Behold; The Shat endorses the World of War Craft, known as WoW to its players, and Woah! to others…

And hey! You! Why does Kirk climb the mountain at the start of Star Trek V? Because he’s in love you fool, as this video shows in musical form…

For a long time the moon’s been quiet, but we’re back baby! Happy 2010 earthlings.

For anyone who wants an explanation as to our silence; my dog ate my internet, so to fill the void I watched too much TV until my face got alarmingly hot. I wore a lot of trousers and I got a poncho.

It’s couples day! May the Gods of Valentines shine upon you.

 This Star Wars based valentines cardy thing to your immediate left was created by this guy, and you can view the rest on his site. They are awesome. It’s good to see that in all the campy nonsense of valentines day, the importance of Star Wars is not forgotten.

So now that we’ve paid homage to the sickly love customs of the humans, lets get to business; first up, The A-team is on track to make me giggle like a girly girly man, this trailer is sweet. I like to see that they haven’t modified the van. Yet. Also check out the A-team surviving a mid-air plane explosion in a parachuting tank. Genius. Absolute genius. 

 It’s not out until november, so hold your junk, or let a loved one hold it for you. 

Next on the menu, The Room, “The best film of the year” (I don’t know which year, or which planet) the cult classic stinker is being shown in the Cameo theater in Edinburgh on the 20th and I recommend it to everyone. It has the passion of Tennessee Williams, don’t you know. If Williams was making toast. Drunk. And didn’t want toast.

 ”You’re tearing me apart Lisa”, indeed.

Also worth checking out are this excerpt from Disneys Princess and the Frog, a welcome return to hand drawn animation by the house of mouse in the capable hands of John Lasseter. Finally, related to Lasseter, a new trailer for Toy Story 3 has appeared. Unlike many sequels and three-quals, Toy Story 3 looks to be a worthy and logical addition to the saga. I, of course, base this theory on the scant information I absorbed from the 2 minute trailer. I am glad to see there is at least one poop joke in there. Keep the dream alive. There should be a poop joke in every film. Every.

There is more that has happened and will happen, but we can jump that bridge when we burn it. Apologies again for the disruption to the ’service’. Hopefully (Shatner willing) this year will see a rise in content for this site, and we have the A-team to look forward to at the end of the year. It shall be my favourite year. I shall love it and pet it and call it George.
