Here are a few subscribed webisodes (wideos? Toobin’?) I’m watching. You should too.

The Suits. Created by the guy who brought you SCUD the Disposable Assassin. A tale of Men In Black vs Religious zealot aliens. (NSFW)

Gamgeeble. Give a man a video editing suite and he’ll amuse himself for hours. And me too.

Weezy Waiter. Same deal as Gamgeeble (dare I say G’s mentor?). Give a man a menial job with great internet aspirations, and he’ll make fun little moving pictures.

The Faking Hoaxer.. A lad from the United Kingdom creates videos for the pyramid-hat people. Some fakes he’s put up are eye popping. Some not so, but the talent and spirit is there. Makes me wish I had Final Cut Pro on my iMac.

Cyanide & Happiness. Bitter, black and funny!

[Title of Show] I got this via I Got Something To Say. Comedy troupe on and off the webs. Wish they did more webs!

Jack in the Box. From Best Week Ever comes Michael Cyril Creighton with his webby show. Can a poor schlep get his tattered life together as he works in the world’s greatest industry (Broadway!) in the world’s greatest city (NYC!)? Makes me wish there really was a “Bros of Desire” play!

I was discussing career defining moments with co-workers this morning and lo and behold, Topless Robot has posted this curious video from everyone’s favorite Ewok:

I haven’t been a Muppet fan for a long while – I guess since the mid-80s. And truthfully I’ve not followed them at all but with age comes nostalgia. Since listening to the Nerdist’s Podcast where they discuss upcoming projects and such, I’ve never knew that they had updated the voices and added a couple new characters. I suspected they had to when Jim Henson passed and Frank Oz went off and tried his hand at *snicker* directing movies. But I wasn’t hip to the new addition of Pepe, the King Prawn, ok?

The last time we were at Disney Hollywood Studios, we were watching the Muppet 3D Vision ride when they flashed Pepe, onscreen for a brief moment and I turned to SharkBoy and said “What the hell is that thing? Seriously! What is it?” He literally freaked me out. I thought he was the AIDS virus come to life. I had totally missed his introduction into the Muppet universe.

As I said, listening to that podcast, they gave Pepe a much longer moment at the mike and he’s a dirty little fucker. As “dirty” as a Disney owned hand puppet character can be.

Here he is on the Bonnie Hunt show, thinking EXACTLY what I was thinking when she first came into view:

Star Wars Weekend at Disney is in two weeks time. Out come the ads! Here’s my fave and the rest are here (via Superpunch).

WEEE!!! AGAIN!!!

Ugh. Wish I was there right now! I’m hankerin’ for a hunka Diz!

Podcast update, people! Yes I’m trapped in 2001 and I do still download audio podcasts.

I’m letting you know that there is one out there from Chris Hardwick of the show “Web Soup” showy thingy. His last podcast he interviews live Stan Lee and it’s wildly charming and full of geeky goodness. Go listen to it (either by iTunes or stream the sucker), it’s worth the 54min. I can only hope I’m that cool at 77.

And he sort of admits that he himself is the prototype for J Jonah Jameson, which geeks me good. Plus he agrees with re purposing his Marvel art for creating more art.

Excelsior!

Working on a new post while cutting through a nasty head cold. blarg!

Meanwhile enjoy Miranda’s latest video. Her mom is certainly getting better with the editing:

From postbear’s YouTube happy choices comes Booka Shade doing Laurie Anderson:

Buddy, I've battled a 60 rubber squid. You don't scare me

At 14, I was a slightly overweight (as opposed to now, being even more slightly overweight) child who bloomed years early. This granted me the opportunity to sneak into a plethora of “restricted” films as a kid.

From the genre of Hitchcockian Lifeboat-esque style of movies where everyone is a killer’s target in some isolated situation comes Saturn 3. The story of two remote geological station scientists living in a happy bubble of remote, blissful sex and science-y research in cool jumpsuits : non-Earth borne Farah Fawcett Majors (Alex) and getting-on-in-life Kirk Douglas (Adam) are Adam and Eve Alex (see what they did there?). Far out in space, their life together is perfect without constant interruptions from cesspooly Earth (yet for some reason decide to assist in maintaining Earth through SCIENCE!). Adam pounds home to Alex (Douglas appears nude a few times… yikes) of Earth’s dirty, dirty ways yet fears she’s becoming curious to see it. Enter Harvey Keitel as Benson (his voice was dubbed out for someone with a creepier tone (!)) bringing the horrors of Earth to Alex and Adam’s secluded paradise in the form of automated help and snappy dialogue:

Alex (Farrah): Haven’t you even had a dog?
Benson (Harvey): A few times.
Alex: Well, didn’t they have names?
Benson: Just something to eat.

Benson isn’t as he seems, however, as the opening sequence reveals him killing the actual delivery man/pilot of the new experimental automated help/robot to Saturn 3. Why does Benson murder the delivery boy so he can bring a killer robot to a remote block of rock in the outer reaches of our solar system? Why question madness? Enter the robot Hector – the MacGuffin star/special effect/monster that promises to put ol’ Adam out of a job. This robot’s beautiful design, based on a few Leonardo DiVinci drawings (think Schwarzenegger’s Mr Freeze outfit without the idiotic goof inside) steals the show. Even though it has little dialogue it manages to deliver creepy in little head/eye stalk angles and turns (assisted with a great audio effect). If Hector/Saturn 3 were to be created today the robot would most certainly be a CGI effect and would have had the life (ironically) sucked from it.

Some science-y jibberjabber is introduced where psychotic Benson’s essence is transferred into the robot’s living brain (say that with a theramin playing behind you) to make it more efficient and humanly helpful. Unfortunately this only succeeds in making Hector a stronger, more psychotic robot monster. Of course Benson’s lust for Alex has been transferred over to Hector via this science-y jibberjabber and the robot can’t help himself  and we’re treated to shots of longing photoelectric sensor glances from across the lab, etc. Which makes Adam even more incensed that his paradise has been infiltrated. Which makes Alex more curious about how shitty Earth really is.

SPOILERS! Look Away!

Madness wins out and people get robotically gouged. The beauty is chased through icy passages. Severed heads are stuffed onto articulated robot necks. Hector is thwarted, comes back and thwarted again. After all is chopped up and bled out, beautiful Alex survives the robot attack and makes her way to decadent Earth, fulfilling her desire to see just how shitty Earth really is, pretty much negating her love and respect for Adam’s wishes to remain pure of heart.

Via BoingBoing. It’s why I love the web.
