"In 2006, Pete Hottelet founded Omni Consumer Products. Named after the mega-corporation in RoboCop, the company dedicated itself to the serious business of defictionalizing fictional brands—from Brawndo (the energy drink from Idiocracy) to Sex Panther cologne (from Anchorman) to Tru Blood (the blood replacement beverage from True Blood) to, shortly, Stay Puft marshmallows (from Ghostbusters). Hottelet took a moment to e-mail with AdFreak and explain how he got into defictionalization and how to do it right. Read the interview here." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

Well the USA still has one game to go. Given that this is utning into the World Cup of Upsets, don't write the yanks out just yet. - Roberto Bonini

Of course, the replay I saw this morning, the whistle was blown before the goal was kicked. No matter what, that wouldn't fix this, because once the whistle's blown, the ball's dead. The ball's dead, it can't be a goal, no matter how illegitimate the whistle. - S of 2C

"Tens of millions of Americans, lumped into a diffuse and fractious movement known as the Christian right, have begun to dismantle the intellectual and scientific rigor of the Enlightenment. They are creating a theocratic state based on “biblical law,” and shutting out all those they define as the enemy. This movement, veering closer and closer to traditional fascism, seeks to force a recalcitrant world to submit before an imperial America. It champions the eradication of social deviants, beginning with homosexuals, and moving on to immigrants, secular humanists, feminists, Jews, Muslims and those they dismiss as “nominal Christians”—meaning Christians who do not embrace their perverted and heretical interpretation of the Bible. Those who defy the mass movement are condemned as posing a threat to the health and hygiene of the country and the family. All will be purged." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

Chris has managed to summarize in 3 pages what I've been trying to convey in my blog for over 2 years. This is an important read for all non-believers. - Jack&Cleo

"You don't need one of the strange laboratory contraptions from "Fringe" to detect that John Noble is an actor to watch this Emmy season -- television critics and fans of the Fox sci-fi series have crusaded to bring attention to the Australian actor's inspired, quirky and sometimes heartbreaking portrayal of the mad scientist Walter Bishop. None of that is lost on the 61-year-old Noble, but last fall as he brewed a pot of coffee in his trailer on the Vancouver set of "Fringe," he seemed far more interested in the delights of scripted madness than the allure of industry accolades. "Walter is like a King Lear for television," Noble said. "He's got all of those extremes. He goes from the raging fool into these incredibly tender moments." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"Noble (who has now scheduled some tango lessons during his upcoming vacation to Italy) said the dance is a wonderful fit for Walter because its performance is not only theatrical but "is time standing still in a way," which brings rich possibilities to the character's ongoing arc. As "Fringe" viewers know, Walter was at the creative center of numerous bizarre experiments and dark... more... - RAPatton

"This second season of "Fringe" found the show taking some chances, and none was more obvious than the April 29 episode that was presented as a noir musical, a setting that was reached (no surprise) by roaming around inside the curious cranium of Walter Bishop. Noble laughed when told that more than a few fans were skeptical of the idea, as was the writer of this article. "You weren't... more... - RAPatton

"由俄羅斯藝術家 Vladimir Manyuhin為我們展示人類消失後的畫面，比如生鏽的地鐵荒廢掉的城市，這讓我想起了《我是傳奇》這部電影。不過，主題只有一個，戰爭或者是對自然的過度索取，最後人類面臨的只有末日。 所謂Matte Painting，就是指通過指定色摳像合成人物與背景時，美術工作者對背景及角色圖像所作的調整。" - Jackie from Bookmarklet

"Illustrator Cliff Chiang has rendered Marvel Comics' most notorious — and immature — love triangle in an homage to one of Hughes' most beloved teen-angst-o-ramas, Pretty in Pink. Chiang's original Pink Phoenix illustration will be sold at auction at next month's HeroesCon, in North Carolina." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

if Ducky would have had Adamantium claws that movie would have been 1000x better. - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

This is pretty good for something that was pieced together using clips from other shows and movies. The sad thing is, Nathan Fillion probably would've been a much, much better choice than Ryan Reynolds. - Brian Chang from Bookmarklet

"On the day Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, much of the nation -- particularly those who supported and voted for him -- celebrated the election of the first African American to the country's highest office. For those who voted for his opponent, John McCain, there was naturally the usual bitterness and disappointment. Among a certain subset of those Americans, however -- especially those who opposed Obama precisely because he sought to become the nation's first black president -- it went well beyond the usual despair. For them, November 5, 2008, was the end of the world. Or at least, the end of America as they knew it. So maybe it wasn't really a surprise that they responded that day with the special venom and violence peculiar to the American Right. Like the noose strung in protest from a tree limb in Texas." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

"Here are the Fringe alternate universe covers alongside the real life covers, as seen in last night’s episode in the US. The one I really want to know more about is Justice League. Did Jonah Hex get one-punched out too?" - RAPatton

She is a very intelligent woman, which is a reminder to women everywhere that we shouldn't judge others by who they're married to. *chuckle* Dubya is a "likable" enough guy, once you remove politics from the equation...kind of a dorkosaurus rex who looks like Alfred E Newman with very little actual political or business acumen. Guess she sees something in him worth loving to put up with him for so long; and it is likely nothing to do with politics, since they have not ever agreed politically. - Prosey BUTTONS!

"As a part of their 75th anniversary, DC Comics has recruited several artists to recreate covers from classic comics, which will be used as variant covers for several of their books this year. Yesterday they revealed another one, this time by Joker artist Lee Bermejo, who draws the cover to the last chapter of my favorite Legion story, "The Great Darkness Saga." You can find the original cover after the jump." - RAPatton

"Can you imagine Britain's quirky time-travel show made into a Walt Disney movie? Commenter Cristoval did, and the result was this "purposefully terrible" poster." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

"We’ve had so many factories shut down in the US over the past few decades that we just didn’t know what to do with them. Well, now someone does. President Obama was in Youngstown, Ohio yesterday at the V&M Star — a tubular production facility — to announce his plan to fund the repurposing of abandoned GM factories into new and useful buildings. The fund will be $800 million dollars strong and it will go towards cleaning up environmental hazards in abandoned factories. The communities will be able to choose what the factories should become — whether it be office buildings, community or green space or just new factories!" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

um... YEAH. - The Amber

"Most of the call, of course, was about Fringe, which has its season finale on Thursday featuring Nimoy in his most prominent role to date. We had heard that the producers had planned a much bigger arc for William Bell this year, but had to scale it back dramatically when Nimoy was cast in the role, because Nimoy was only willing to do a few episodes. We asked Nimoy if this was true, and what sort of things the writers had originally pitched for Bell to do. He responded: This is actually news to me. I haven't heard this before. I don't think it's accurate. I was asked to do five episodes. I did. So, I don't know where that information is coming from. It's true that, in the first three episodes that I did for them, or even the first four, I would say that my involvement was minimal. In this final one, coming up next week, I'm heavily involved. I don't know of any other plans that they had, or anything about scaling back. I don't think it's accurate. They asked me to do five episodes, and I did." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"Nimoy was very excited about Thursday's episode, because he gets to go toe-to-toe with John Noble for a lot of the episode. There are "very strong scenes" between William and Walter, and a really terrific resolution to their relationship. And he talked a bit about William Bell's character: He's disarmingly unpredictable. He keeps saying, "Trust me," but then you're not quite sure if... more... - RAPatton

"Yesterday, President Obama spoke at a DCCC fundraiser at the St. Regis hotel in New York City, and got a little clever with the metaphors when describing the GOP: "After they drove the car into the ditch, made it as difficult as possible for us to pull it back, now they want the keys back. No. You can't drive. We don't want to have to go back into the ditch. We just got the car out."" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

"It's the villains who will have film geeks really lining up, though. Everyone's favorite Nazi, Christoph Waltz, will be playing the dastardly Cardinal Richelieu, and Mads Mikkelsen will be playing Rochefort. Orlando Bloom has been offered the part of the Duke of Buckingham, but has not yet accepted. Of course, since this is an Anderson movie, Milla Jovovich has nabbed a part. She'll be playing Milady de Winter." - Jandy from Bookmarklet

Yeah, because that was the sequel, RAP :) - Scoble, Alex Scoble

And everyone thought the chocolate river was such a brilliant idea. In truth, the river was clean and natural until a submerged chocolate pipe ruptured. He tried many times to plug the leak. But Wonka was a laid-back kinda guy and said, "Screw it. It's a chocolate river." - Bill Bittner
