The New Ducktales Cartoon is Going All Out!

Did you know that they’re making a new Ducktales cartoon? The news has been all over the Internet because the marketing team is on point with their attempts at viral videos. Check out this musical one!

Clearly this was built by someone who recognizes how iconic that theme song has become to we now-adults who grew up watching Ducktales. I was one of them. I was right there in the thick of things, as Ducktales was definitely one of my favorite cartoons from my youth. So this video is made expressly for people like me, old fans who are definitely going to check out the new movie. I’m not going to fight it. Why would I? When you’ve got Kate Micucci as Webby and David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck? The casting in this cartoon looks to be kind of insane. I love it already.

Even More Star Wars Comedy Today!

This time, the How It Should Have Ended people are getting in on the Star Wars fun! They’ve updated their previous Star Wars video, which was the original video that rocketed them to super stardom! Good times all around.

I especially like that Greedo joke. This was a solid, funny video. Good job, chaps.

Arrow ’66, Just a Little Something Fun

Everybody like Tuesdays? I’m pretty OK with them. They’re not Fridays and they’re definitely not Saturdays. But we can have a little bit of fun this Tuesday.

Big thanks to Dave Jones for making this little diddy. It’s Arrow and The Flash done in the style of the classic Batman ’66 TV show! I loved that thing as a kid. The Internet is full of such charm, and I’ll share it when I can!

Wonder Twins LEGOs, You Guys!

A new mini-trailer for The LEGO Batman Movie came out this weekend, and while it’s great, it also features something truly special: Wonder Twins LEGOs! Keep your eyes peeled at 1:24 in the video for the specialness.

That’s just plain fun.

The trailer is good too. This movie is going to be all manner of amazing. Cannot wait. Maybe the most anticipated movie of 2017? Yeah, maybe.

The 6 Wickedest Vertigo Villains

A week or so ago, I was diagnosed with benign positional vertigo, and it sucks. Basically, a bunch of bits and pieces inside my head landed in the wrong part of my inner ear, giving me a bad case of the dizzies. It’s not total vertigo, where the room feels like it’s spinning and I can’t walk straight. I basically just get a wibbly wobbly feeling when I turn my head, making things a bit fuzzy and putting me off balance. And there’s no cure!

Sounds like something a super-villain might do, eh?

I probably shouldn't watch this movie

Thankfully, the doctor was able to put me through a couple maneuvers that shifted the bits and pieces around a little bit. He didn’t fix the problem completely, but he definitely lessened the wobbliness to manageable levels. Now I have to hope it goes away, and I’ve got drugs to dull the headaches or the nausea. I’m surviving.

And since this sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to compare to comic books, I looked up some super-villains who use vertigo-based powers! It’s definitely a super-villain thing. Ugh.
