Rupert Grint Has a Theme Song

Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 9:03 am

What's more, Rupert Grint's theme song has a music video, which contains nothing but awesomely ridiculous Rupert Grint fan art. It's by internet music maestro Parry Gripp, who also requested the art -- that way, I imagine, he didn't have to look for it himself and search through the piles and piles of erotic Rupert Grint/Ron Weasley fan art. Smart man. (Via FilmDrunk)

Episode I: The Phantom Metal

Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 5:00 pm

So someone replaced the score of the new Phantom Menace 3-D trailer with death metal, and all the lines of dialogue with dialogue sung in death metal-style (i.e., almost completely unintelligible). given that a reasonable portion of Episode I's crappiness was due to character voices -- the Neimoidians, Watto, Anakin, Jar Jar, etc. -- it's actually a significant improvement. Although I guess not understanding the dialogue is its own benefit, too. (Via FilmDrunk)

Resident Evil Revelations Goes Heavy on the Revelations

Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 12:15 pm

The new Resident Evil game for the 3DS came out yesterday, but for those of you who haven't picked it up yet, The Warp Zone has decided to compile the most revealing revelations from... well, Revelations. All it's missing is for Leon Kennedy to admit, "Yeah, those guys in Resident Evil 4 didn't actually have some kind of plague, I just really, really hate foreign people."

The Final Installment in the Spock's Scanner Trilogy

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 5:00 pm

The epic saga of What's in Spock's Scanner, which began here and continued here, finally wraps up the way we knew it must -- with drunken debauchery, attempted drug use, needless violence, and possible date rape. And bollocks. And farting. And someone finally saying something. Look, I know the video is 11 minutes long, but I swear to god the entire thing is worth is just for the transporter noise at 8:23. I still haven't stopped laughing.

The Star Wars/Trek Debate Overtakes a New Generation

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 12:00 pm

Specifically, the Next Generation, represented by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and the Star Wars prequel generation, represented by Qui-Gon Jinn. Sir Patrick Stewart and Liam Neeson were on the Graham Norton Show together, when Norton decided to settle the eternal debate of which franchise is better by comparing the two actors' toys. This video is awesome for two reasons: 1) I had forgotten how ridiculous those old Episode 1 banks looked when they weren't all paired together. Qui-Gon was supposed to be placed next to an Obi-Wan and a Darth Maul bank, so they could "fight." Without his partners, Qui-Gon looks like he's having an episode of the DTs. 2) Stewart actually facepalms. Hell, he headpalms. It's divine. (Via The Mary Sue)

FYI, the only DVD of note coming out today is Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1, which I only mention for Rifftrax purposes. Hopefully DVD Day will be back next week, assuming next week doesn't also suck ass.

All Hail Chronic Trigger

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 9:04 am

I'd have said someone deciding to mash-up Snoop Dogg's "Smoke Weed Everyday" with the Chrono Trigger overworld music was more than nerdy enough, but this gent went the extra mile, and made a game video of it -- a game where you play as Snoop and break into people's houses and yell at them to "Smoke weed everyday" or other such sage advice. It goes without saying that were it real, I would play the holy fuck out of this game. Infinite thanks to LJDarten for the tip.

The Wicker Muppet

Monday, February 6, 2012 at 4:00 pm
What if the Muppets did their own version of The Wicker Man, by which I mean the original and extremely creepy 1973 version, and not the recent Nic Cage PSA on the importance of punching women while wearing a bear suit? I think it would go a little something like this:

HOLY SHIT THAT'S TERRIFYING. Maybe even moreso than the original. Much thanks to Ian D. for the tip, though.

Also, sorry for half-assing it today; I've been too full of happiness and booze and red meat and victory to really function. I promise I'll use my full ass tomorrow.

The Most Glorious Retelling of the Death of Superman Ever

Monday, February 6, 2012 at 1:15 pm

Max Landis, son of director John, is apparently a comics fan. What he's not a fan of, apparently, is the Death and Return of Superman storyline, as evidenced by the 16-minute, shockingly accurate summary of story, where Max drinks scotch and some of his Hollywood buddies help re-enact key scenes (I recognized Elijah Wood, Simon Pegg, Mandy Moore and Misti Dawn, among others). There is absolutely nothing I don't love about this video, although my favorite part is that original his nerdy rant was even longer:
The original rant was 45 minutes long, so of course we had to cut a bunch of stuff out for time, and because it was just too stupid. Like for instance the part where Pa Kent dies of a heart attack and literally GOES TO HEAVEN. AND SEES SUPERMAN.
Infinite thanks to all million of you who sent this in.

Fan Fiction Friday: Harry Potter and Hermione in "Tiny Hermione"

Friday, February 3, 2012 at 2:00 pm
My apologies for running another Herry Potter fan fic so soon after the unhappy feet saga that was "Harry Potter and the Room of Romance," but when I read this story sent to me by Mr. No Name (possibly not his real name) I knew I couldn't wait. It's a story by GiantessLover -- think there's a tiny bit of foreshadowing there?
Hermione had always wondered what it would be like to be a Giantess.

She wondered if there were any potions that could help her become one so she decided to ask Harry for help.

Hey Harry, she said.
Hi, he said back.
I was wondering if you knew any potions that would make me into a Giantess, she said to him.
OH, IT'S MAGIC TIME. GiantessLover is no mere storyteller, he's a storyweaver. Continue your journey into this epic world of imagination after the jump!
