Oscar winner Marion Cotillard introduces Forehead Tittaes, a new product to help women be taken more seriously in the workplace. Make them almost look you in the eyes. (NSFW, depending on your workplace policy on forehead genitalia.)

Lost: Baywatch
I really can't get behind this version of the Lost credits set to the theme of Baywatch, as anything that uses more Jack can't be a good thing. Of course fans of shirtless Sawyer will be pleased. And why wait so long for Kate? And why isn't there any Charlie? He's a good swimmer, right? Oh, wait... (Link via Unreality)

A More Magnificent Seven

They were seven - and they fought like seven hundred!

Popped Culture reader Tom Geddes sent me his creation of a more Magnificent Seven, replacing James Coburn with Bruce Willis, Horst Buchholz with Ghandi, Yul Brynner with Mr. T, Brad Dexter with Chewbacca, Robert Vaughn with Batman and, my favourite Charles Bronson with Optimus Prime. Steve McQueen stayed in as "he's the coolest man that ever lived."

Nice work, Tom — I hope to see more.

Modern Stone Age Architecture

"For the past 20 years, Los Angeles-based artist Mark Bennett has made art firmly rooted in the collective American experience of television. His drawings and lithographs are "blueprints" of famous television houses... His floor plans narrate the American Dream, charting not only the architecture, but also the subtext of our culturally accepted models for living."

I love the idea  of these homes actually existing, being planned and built. It makes me think that somewhere, somehow it really happened. Yabba dabba doo! (Link via BuzzFeed)

Mr. Kite - Beatles

Mr. Brownstone - Guns N' Roses
Mr. DJ - Backstreet Boys, Rihanna, Madonna, Van Morrison, et all

I would have liked to see Styx's Mr. Roboto and Amy Winehouse's Mr. Jones in that list, but that's just me. (Link via shirt.woot!)

I'm The King Of The Universe!

I loved Hurt Locker, but this is pretty much how I figure it will go at the Oscars. I barely feel invested in this year's race, but I can't not make a few picks.

Best Picture: Avatar - they can't ignore a film that has made a couple of billion dollars.
Best Director: Kathyrn Bigelow - Hurt Locker's concession to losing Best Picture.
Best Actor: Jeff Bridges - I haven't seen Crazy Heart, but Bridges is the only choice anyone is making.
Best Actress: Sandra Bullock - The Blind Side's reward for a Best Picture nod.
Best Supporting Actor: Mo'Nique - Like Bridges, the runaway favourite. 
Best Supporting Actress: Christoph Waltz - He owned every scene of Inglourious Basterds he was in and was a thrill to watch.
Best Original Screenplay: I want Inglourious Basterds to win, if just to watch Quentin Tarantino to bring his sweaty, nervous energy to the Oscar podium.
Best Adapted Screenplay: I'm going with District 9 because I enjoyed it, but that's usually the kiss of death for my choices.
Best Animated Film: Up has the only real shot here.

These are hardly out-there picks, so if you want to win your Oscar pool, you'll have to do it in the other 15 categories. I have no idea about these, so you're on your own, but you can pretty much pick Avatar for any technical categories. Oh yeah, and Logorama for Best Animated Short, one I actually posted about.  (Pic via Comixed)

This is the ultimate Swiss Army Knife. Who needs nail scissors, saws and screwdrivers when you have an array of weaponry like this? Really, what couldn't you accomplish? Damn heavy though.

Bottom: Doctor Who’s sonic screwdriver; Hellboy’s revolver; Star Trek phaser. (Geek Army Knife by Ian Summers)

Goodnight Forest Moon

In the great metal room
There was a comlink

Who Ya Gonna Telegraph?

Olde-timey bustin makes me feel good...

In 1884 Professor Aaron Spengler found a way to entrap ghosts. After setting up a squad with other two scientists, they started a business called "Phantasm Entrapment Service, Inc.", their slogan was "Who Ya Gonna Telegraph?"

All of Three members of the squad disappeared in mysterious circumstances. One hundred years later, Prof. Spengler's relative, Egon, found his lost notes and made a new business out of them, it was called "the Ghostbusters."

Adam Antium's Bustin' Made Them Feel Good isn't available yet, but you can vote for it and make sure it gets printed. (Link via Super Punch)

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Video trailers for books are odd things as they just make me want to see them as a film, not dive into some pages. And Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter all the more so, as I can't imagine ever reading it, except maybe in comic book form.

That being said, the idea of the 16th President of the United States of America as a slayer is pretty funny. I can't wait for some kid to include this bit of alt-history in an essay. (Link via The Zeray Gazette)

Werner Herzog Reads Madeline

Werner Herzog Reads Madeline
Bleak German director Werner Herzog reads and interprets the French children's book Madeline, a fine follow up to his take on Curious George.

"Their discipline was impeccable. They smiled at the good and frowned at the bad. But being children, their concept of good and evil was not fully formed. And it would shock a grown person how much gray area existed along the moral compass."

I hope he does Babar next. That book is overflowing with subtext. (From Ryan Iverson of Stupid is the New Awesome)
