My Friday Following links on Twitter today were for the Firefly actors that I'm following, so I thought I'd post the opening credits as my video for the day.
If I were still married, Alison Brie would take up ALL the places on my List. You hear that Alison? I'm single. You can call me now! http://fuckyeahalisonbrie.tumblr.com/
My dad sent me this to show the kids, and my oldest thought it was hilarious. If you like dogs and you like birds and you like videos of them eating spaghetti, then this is the perfect video for you. After watching this you can go ahead and cancel the Internet.
Doctor Who strips for the kids. Plus, there's a trailer for this year's Christmas special.
After downloading the album from Amazon last week, I am totally in love with Childish Gambino. I don't even like rap all that much.
I think Katy Perry is hot, but a little of her music goes a long way for me, so I don't go searching for new music by her. My sister shared this video on Facebook, though, and yeah, I think we've all got one who got away, even if we can't admit it.
WINTER IS COMING...at the bottom of the sea. This time-lapse video of starfish and sea urchins being frozen by brinicles is somewhat amazing.
Justified!
I love Community, and I don't even notice all the little Easter Eggs. Of course, when they take three seasons to complete, sure, I'll get a little lost.
I'm guessing this video is fake, but that doesn't mean the laughter isn't real. Thanks, Josh!
I'll be watching Alcatraz because of the people involved, not because of this commercial. I have absolutely no idea what the show is about, and this commercial tells me nothing except that somehow Alcatraz is involved in something.
Why do I love to cook so much? Gordon Ramsay gets it!
Rest in peace, Patrice O'Neal. I enjoyed you in everything I saw you in (Oh, most definitely), and the comedy world has lost a genuinely funny man.
So apparently Super Mario Brothers was redone by some Asian dickhead. This video of an Australian guy playing the game is awesome.
The video from Chloe (you remember Chloe from 24, right?) is okay, but I watched it because it features music from Wired All Wrong and Self.
I think I love Felicia Day. She's adorable, she's a nerd, she's got gorgeous red hair...yup, I loves her. Here she is playing with herself. Thanks, Jonathan!
Best rap I've ever heard about pancakes.
I think I may rewatch Firely over the holiday season. Here are the 32 best quotes from the show.
Is this a great opening credits mash-up or the GREATEST opening credits mash-up?
Here are a bunch of beagles (my favorite breed of dogs ever!) who get their first experience of being outside and on grass. They were lab dogs who spent their lives in cages. If you have even the tiniest scrap of human emotions, this video will touch your heart. It's adorable! They don't know what to do!
Also, in case you've forgotten:When I can remember to add this to the bottom of my posts, I’m going to whore myself out with an impassioned plea: click on the ads. PLEASE click on the ads. I don’t care if you exit out of it immediately or actually look around. This isn’t some professional blog where I believe in the products I’m shilling. These are automatic ads placed by Google. But when you click ads, I get a little bit of money, and as a single father of three, every penny from every source helps...especially with Christmas looming on the horizon. So I’m going to keep this tiny bit of begging at the bottom of my posts, and I hope you’ll take an extra 10 seconds after reading my blog to click on an ad. The only thing it costs you is time. :) Thanks so much!
I loved Independence Day, but I would have loved it even more had it ended like this. Plus, Adam Baldwin!!!
Fight Shrub? Fight Shrub.
Here's a wonderfully done Twilight Zone/Star Wars mash-up.
This is a clip from a BBC talk show where Ewan McGregor plays with a light saber.
Mark Millar is a hit-or-miss writer to me. Sometimes he just going TOO over-the-top. But "Old Man Logan" was a good story, and this fan-made trailer for a movie we'll never see is pretty well put together.
I'm sharing this only because it's Firefly and it's clever, but I don't really like it all that much.
I will share everything related to Nathan Fillion, especially PSAs on swamp ass.
I tell you what, I love me some gay sour worms. They were a lunch staple my freshman and sophomore years of high school. I think that watching this candy pizza being made triggered a diabetic seizure, though.
The latest trailer for Breaking Bad is great for those of you who have heard lots of good things about the show but don't really know the basics. This gives you the basics, plus teases you for the season that starts in...9 days! Yay!
I used to watch The Daily Show and the Colbert Report religiously. It's how I got my news. But lately I just can't bring myself to watch any late-night talk shows. I caught Jon Stewart's recent interview with Louis C.K., though, and as always he was brilliant. In this interview he breaks down why farts are funny.
It's the Fourth of July weekend! It's my 400th blog post! It's...well, I guess that's it.
I got into Breaking Bad late, right before the third season (this past one) started. I caught up quickly, and I fell in love with it. The new season starts in just a few weeks, and I'm thinking I may need to brush up on season three a bit.
I think this is all of a Green Lantern movie that I need.
I don't know what to think about 30 Minutes or Less. It's full of people I like, but it really doesn't look all that funny.
This is just what I needed before diving back into True Blood with the new season just starting on HBO.
I really hope Captain America is a good movie. I like Chris Evans, I like Tommy Lee Jones, I like Hugo Weaving, and I like Captain America when he's written as an actual soldier, not a Boy Scout super hero.
Big Mac Meatloaf? Sure. Lights? Meh. Not my music, but the lead singer is awful cute.
An Evening with Warren Ellis. I think this is the whole thing.
It's a crappy little bit from when Return of the Jedi started filming (listen to what the Ewok calls the movie), but it's some more footage of Carrie Fisher in the gold bikini. Worth it!
Neil Gaiman on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson from June 28, 2001. If I could bring myself to DVR late night TV (I've even given up on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report), I'd watch this show.
Famous Last Words, starring Jacob from Lost/Lucifer from supernatural, Shane from The Walking Dead, and two other guys. It's pretty funny. How's that for a stirring recommendation?
These ponies aim to misbehave.
This and "Isn't She Lovely" are probably tied for favorite Stevie Wonder song. And this arrangement is incredible. REALLY makes me want to get my sax in the shop so I can start playing again. Guess I know what I'll be doing today since I get off work early.
Conan "double booked" a couple of comedians, so he had them come out and perform at the same time. These guys are great, as is their timing. I love how one guy's joke will end, and you'll get the crazy punch line from the other but not know what the hell he was talking about.
New Foo Fighters single, the first one (I guess "White Limo" was just a VD treat?) off of their new album. I don't like it as much as I did "White Limo," but that might be because there was great video goodness to watch while the song played. We'll see how my tune changes when the inevitable video is out. I don't think these guys have made a video that I haven't liked.
Like almost every other fan of Firefly, I miss it greatly. But I love Nathan Fillion's latest role as author/detective Richard Castle. Here's how he continues to show his love of Captain Reynolds on his new show.
Here are some homaged scenes from Kill Bill side-by-side with the scenes they're homaging. Some are good, some seem to be a stretch.
Real Life Mario Kart. I'd be a bit more impressed if I'd played the game, but I haven't, so I'm not.
Animal beatbox. That's all you need to know.
Here's a trailer for Simon Pegg's new movie "Paul." There's so much going right with this trailer that I can't talk about it, you just have to watch it. Then go see the movie next month.

In honor of the season premiere of Supernatural, here's a great mash-up video featuring clips of the show with advertising audio. And an oldie but goodie, Supernatural (In My Pants).
I like each Ok Go CD a bit less than the previous, but the videos are still awesome. And this one has doggies!
How can you NOT watch DJ Kitty without smiling?
New trailer for the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Looks like I've got to rewatch all the movies before November. I'll probably reread all the books after the last movie.
Holy shit! Don't eat a red gummy bear and then drink some potassim chlorate (I'm assuming that's the main ingredient in banana juice?).
Oh, how I really really really wish this would have been the opening to Iron Man 2. I was SOOOO disappointed when I didn't see the Pepper-kissing-the-helmet scene that played in almost all the trailers. I guess I kind of get that Favreau wouldn't want to open the movie with a hungover Stark, y'know, with a bunch of kids watching it, but that logic gets shot down once Stark and Rhodey slug it out while Tony is smashed.
If only they would have made fun of Bill saying "Sookie" in his horrible accent. It's still better than Katy Perry.
