Batman Finds His Voice
Another lazy posting day, but thankfully College Humor came to my rescue with another one of their hilarious Batman parody videos. These are almost as good as their Ninja Turtle Videos.
A Doctor Who Musical Celebration
I’m a big Doctor Who fan, at least the recent revival since 2005. The show is a mega hit and shows no signs of slowing down or losing steam. That’s in large part to the fact that they’re constantly changing up the actors and the producers. Doctor Who keeps the same character – The Doctor – but it’s written into his mythology that he regenerates into a new body every time his mortal body is killed. That’s a great excuse for getting a new lead actor into the show and surrounding him with new sidekicks.
Well at the end of the fourth season, show-runner Russell T. Davies, the guy who launched the revival in 2005, left Doctor Who. It also marked the departure of producer Julie Gardner and current Doctor actor David Tennant (as well as Tennant’s era of sidekicks). Tennant had been around for three seasons and was hugely popular, so him, Davies and Gardner leaving was a huge deal.
The show’s still been great since they left, but that whole era had some real charm.
Which has been nicely captured in a pair of farewell videos that the actors produced for the Fourth Season Wrap Party that are only now reaching the Internet. Enjoy some Doctor Who based musical fun!
The first is sung by Tennant and sidekicks Catherine Tate (my favorite Who sidekick) and John Barrowman. It’s an ode to Davies and Gardner covering their entire production run of Doctor Who.
The second is Tennant leading the entire cast and crew in a rousing chorus of ‘I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)’ by The Proclaimers.
Welcome to the Hotel San Andreas!
Grand Theft Auto 5 has been revealed – and we’re going back to the West Coast! Here’s the trailer if you haven’t already seen it a million different places on the Internet today:
I’m excited. Everyone should be excited. Grand Theft Auto is arguably the greatest video game franchise out there. It is one of the rare modern video games that changed how we play them. When Grand Theft Auto 3 hit back in the early 00s, it changed the face of gaming forever. And I was there. Heck, I was there for the fun and hilarity of Grand Theft Auto 2. It still had the open world, but it was all top down. Still an absolute blast to play though.
So any new GTA game is cause to celebrate.
Right now, we can tell from the trailer that the game will take place at least in Los Santos, the GTA version of Los Angeles. Los Santos was last seen in GTA: San Andreas, which was a massive game featuring stand-in cities for Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas, as well as all the countryside in between them.
Will GTA 5 have all 3 cities again? Will it have countryside? Only time will tell!
Now I just need to buy an HD TV before it comes out.
MODOK Makes Halloween Funny
MODOK dressed as Elvira is brilliant in every sense of the word. This is a hilarious parody by the crew at Marvel: What the…? And like in Treehouse of Horror fashion, there are three funny Halloween shorts. The best one is the second one.
