Inspector Spacetime is Happening
We might not have Community back on the air just yet, but we’re going to get the next best thing: Inspector Spacetime! There’s going to be a web-series about the Inspector produced by the actor who plays him, Travis Richey. At least this is all according to IO9, with the news coming out of the Gallifrey One convention.
For anyone who doesn’t watch Community, Inspector Spacetime is a parody of Doctor Who, and has been a running gag throughout the third season. It’s all about the time-traveling Inspector, his companion Constable Reginald and their battles against the villainous Blorgons! Community characters Abed and Troy have fallen in love with the show, and are often seen wearing Inspector and Reginald costumes.
See for yourself:
This is brilliant. The Inspector Spacetime segments of Community are just hilarious, and to think that the guy playing the Inspector is just going to go ahead and make his own webseries about it is exactly the sort of creativity I love.
Of course, Richey is apparently doing it without the OK of the execs at Community or NBC.
Dan Harmon, Community, NBC and Sony have nothing to do with this web series. I pitched it to them after my first episode of Community, but never heard back from them one way or another. So I’m going to do it myself, with the help of fans. I’m launching a Kickstarter campaign in a matter of hours for an equipment budget, and the complete story can be read there.
So take that for what you will. Maybe they’ll shut him down. Maybe things will be cool and this web-series will get made. I’m going to keep my fingers crossed and be on the lookout for Blorgons!
Real Life Goldeneye 64
I proudly champion the genius and brilliance of people on the Internet every chance I get. Whether it’s a silly but awesome drawing of the Avengers or a particularly funny Portal parody. The Internet never fails to have something new up its sleeve. Today I bring you a video by Alasky. They created a real-life version of Goldeneye 64, the James Bond game that revolutionized first-person shooters and multiplayer alike. So enjoy!
Who Remembers Marsupilami?
I didn’t remember him until I saw this International trailer for what I believe is a French live action film about the little yellow guy with the super long tail! Warning, it’s not in English, so you may not have any clue what’s being said.
Does that strike any bells? I know he barely appears in that trailer at all. Maybe the company producing the film can’t do very good CGI. But Marsupilami is joining the likes of Yogi Bear and the Smurfs with this while live action/CGI mash-up. But who knew that Marsupilami was a Belgian creation? All I remember is the old Disney cartoon.
It was your typical madcap zany cartoon. Honestly though, I can’t even remember a single thing about the cartoon.
Anyway, this movie, Sur la Piste Marsupilami, or ‘On the Trail of the Marsupilami’, will be released in France in April. No clue if it will ever come to America. Not that I’d go see it. I haven’t gone to see any of those live action/CGI mash-ups and I don’t plan to start now. I just thought this was a neat blast-from-the-past sort of thing to pop up on the Internet today.
So I Hit a Parked Car Today
That’s my biggest news of the day. And man did it suck! The Nissan came out of nowhere, right in my blindspot thanks to my overly frosted windows. I think there’s something wrong with my windshield because it gets frost on the inside. That’s not supposed to happen, right? But it’s impossible to completely clear up in the morning, because my heat only comes on when I’ve been driving for a few minutes. It won’t get warm if I just idle. So there I am moseying down the small alley behind my house, I can barely see out the driver’s side of my windshield, let alone the passenger side, and I go to make my turn and CRUNCH!!
How embarrassing.
Fortunately, no harm no trouble. Some plastic broke off their rear bumper, some plastic broke off my front bumper.
Oh, and my passenger side quarter panel bent so that the passenger-side door is wedged shut. Wonderful! That’s gonna need to get fixed.
On top of all of that, there’s absolutely nothing worth blogging about! No good comics to review, no good movie clips, no good comic book news. I thought about going to see the new Ghost Rider movie, but I’m not sure I could squeeze it in.
But rather than leave my blog empty, here’s a funny picture I’ve been holding onto. Laugh at it and laugh at my bad luck Someone should.
The Ultimate Avengers Trailer
I know I posted the real The Avengers trailer only a week or so ago, but then some fans at ScreenRant made this amazing extended trailer. They use footage from all the individual movies to build a larger story, then use all the footage that’s been released so far for The Avengers. This is a movie trailer on steroids, people. And it is gleeful.
Thanks to Topless Robot for the find.
