God Bless the Internet - Boba Fett Flashdance
It just doesn’t get any better than this…
Thanks to Chris for sharing this beautiful work with me. LOL!
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
I recently stumbled across this Dr. Horrible website, after getting a Jinx.com newsletter and hearing about them being #1 on iTunes last week as well as crashing their own website due to the influx of traffic. My curiosity got the better of me, so I watched the first episode (which is currently available on their website) and I really enjoyed it!
It’s actually a musical (which I usually hate BTW), about a heart-sick supervillian who finds that his arch-Nemesis Captain Hammer is dating the girl of his dreams. Despite the musical style, it’s really funny and and very entertaining.
It stars Neil Patrick Harris (remember Doogie Howser?) as Dr. Horrible, as well as Nathan Fillion (from Firefly and Serenity) as Captain Hammer. It’s off-beat humor and quirky style reminded me a bit of Mystery Men, which is one of my favorite movies.
There are a couple of things that have really struck me about this show. The first is the intense fan base that it has already developed. It appears that the producers have done a great job of using Social Media and social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and Digg to create a viral campaign that has apparently paid off big time for them. Also, the way in which the show was produced is very interesting. According to Wikipedia, the producers apparently wrote the script during the WGA Writer’s Strike in an attempt to “create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike”. With the rapid shift that has been taking place from mainstream television and movie viewing to the web, this could be another big sign that the entertainment world is changing right before our eyes.
I would highly recommend checking out the show. It’s short, and better yet, it’s free. For more info on Dr. Horrible, here are some helpful links:
Internet Flashback - Kicked in the Nuts
I’ve been thinking about starting up a series of posts that focus on old Internet jokes, memes, etc. A tribute to all of the crazy stuff that has come through our in-boxes over the years. I was reminded of this one tonight, and just had to post it. The guys at my office and I have had countless laughs over this one. Maybe I shouldn’t admit it, but we are obviously easily amused…

Who wants a body massage? I do!
I think I slept funny last night, because my shoulder and neck are killing me. I don’t think my wife is strong enough to work this knot out. Where’s Roadblock when I need him?
Whatever!
One of my employees just said “whatever” to me… and it reminded me of this. LOL!
Thumb Wars, possibly the funniest thing ever put to film…
Ok, so I’m a total sci-fi nerd, and a big Star Wars fan. I was recently reminded of this movie/show that came out back around the time Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was released. It originally aired on TV, which I taped, and since have bought the DVD. We’ve watched it and laughed so many times, I can’t even count anymore. There are so many stupid one-liners in this movie, that we have come to say on an almost daily basis. It’s actually quite remarkable how much of an impact this show has had on my family’s life. If you’ve never seen it, I highly recommend checking it out. You can actually watch it for free on YouTube.com, or click on the movie below.
