    This is a cool 5 minute short featuring Spider-Man, Iron Man and the Hulk. Not sure where it came from, but I like it!

    your Watchmen movie leak of the week


    This Minutemen picture looks just good enough to get your hopes up that the Watchmen movie won't be a horrific waste of film. So much better to crush your spirit when it turns out to be rotten!

    Tea For Two


    Most people know what a great crooner Nat King Cole was, but did you know he could swing like a gate on the piano? Here he takes what is usually a corny old tune and takes it to totally new heights.

    Iron Sky


    This is just a "proof of concept" teaser for what looks to be one of the coolest high concept sci-fi movies in a long time. I just hope that there are brains in jars somewhere in the final film. The production design and special effects look fantastic, and I really can't wait to check out the finished product. Check out more on their website.

    shooting animals is funny


    Once upon a time not so long ago, this cartoon was considered totally appropriate for viewing by kids on Saturday mornings. Not just appropriate, it was one of the funniest cartoons ever made, and it was assumed that kids knew the difference between cartoons and reality. Somewhere along the line since then it's been decided that this cartoon is too dangerous to show to young children as it trivializes gun violence and sends an bad message.

    Thank goodness for the internet and YouTube that we can now see these incredibly funny and beautifully produced cartoons any time we want, we just can't see them on TV with the rest of the focus-group created toy commercials masquerading as cartoons that dominate Saturday mornings today.
