      Sometimes a man can go his entire life without finding a true calling. Some men will die without ever having embarked on an epic quest. One man will get shit-faced trying. So watch me.

      Somewhere out in space, live the Herculoids.

      The Herculoids was a saturday morning cartoon show that originally aired during the late 60s and is now shown on Boomerang’s late night schedule. Basicaly, it was about a group of weirdos (comprised of one space dragon, one rock ape, one dinosaur that shoots something called ‘energy rocks’ out of its face, and two friendly blob monsters) trying to protect their planet from other, different weirdos. Sounds awesome, right?

      Wrong.

      See, there’s also this guy, Zandor. He’s the guy bouncing around on those vines in the video. He doesn’t have any super strength or heat vision or even some kind of magical sword that breathes fire. Dude’s packing a slingshot.

I’ve compiled a list of the 5 people I most hate to be next to on the subway/platform. If you find that you are one of these people, please video someone punching you in the throat and send it to me.

      I’ve been hearing talk about a new Fletch movie for a while now, and the prospect has always been near and dear to my heart. I suppose I feel that if the corpse of Irwin Fletcher were to be revived, Chevy Chase would realize how meta-awesome he is and do however much coke is necessary to re-animate his cool. His last major studio outing was Zoom: Academy for Superheroes. Seriously, Chevy? Seriously? You were once the guy who made Deal of the Century and Seems Like Old Times bearable to watch.

      Anyway, that’s a topic for another blog, and don’t think you won’t get yours too, Eddie. My point here is that when they began talking about making Fletch Won, the name attached to star in the title role was an obvious choice: Ryan Reynolds. Read more »
