Cool Dad? Or the Coolest Dad?
When I get kids, I’m definitely going to have to do something like this…
Also, the fact that I’ve never been to a trampoline park is devastating.
It’s Been Too Hot This Week, So Here’s a Popeye Fan Film
It’s been super humid here in Central New York this past week, and for a fat guy who’s on the road a lot during the work day, that can suck a lot. So today, with there not being much geek stuff going on in general, I’m gonna be super lazy and just give you guys this fun Popeye fan film made by Valentine Productions.
I think the world is ready to get over that Robin Williams live action Popeye movie from 1980. Wow, a live action film based on a classic cartoon…that thing was decades ahead of its time. Of course, if it were made now, it’d have a CGI Popeye.
Geekapella is a Thing I Just Learned About
And now you know of them too!
Thanks to Topless Robot for the find. I love it when geeks do something geeky, seemingly for the sole purpose of showing off their geekitude on the Internet. That’s probably what I love most about the Internet. Even moreso than the oodles of pornography.
Joss Whedon and the Gooch Fight a Giant, One-Eyed, Red Monster
Such is the debut of new hit Internet film “Scary Smash”!
Or actually, it’s the first episode of Geek & Sundry’s new series ‘Written by a Kid’. The fact that they got Joss Whedon, Dave Foley and the lovely Kate Micucci to star in it is just aces.
Some Good Superhero News for Today
Real life super-villain Rex Velvet has been captured!
But not by his arch-nemesis, Phoenix Jones. Instead, Rex Velvet went down in a silly string fight against Agent C – otherwise known as 12-year-old Colby, a Seattle kid who has been diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy. Colby’s greatest wish is to be a secret agent, and with the help of the local Make-A-Wish Foundation, Colby’s dream came true.
When Rex Velvet kidnapped the Seattle Seahawk’s mascot, it was Agent C on the case to thwart that dastardly super-villain!
Here’s a video of the diabolical Rex calling out his foe:
This is just delightful news. We’ve been following the awesome adventures of Rex Velvet since he made his debut, but to see him actually use his villainous persona to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation? That’s beyond awesome! This guy is the greatest. And Agent C is pretty cool too.
