Morning, y’all. The good news is, I’ve got a couple copies of the Black Dynamite soundtrack to give away to today’s comments of the week winners (other good news: Jesus is risen). It’s a pretty cool soundtrack, and the movie is still in theaters (a handy list of which you’ll find here). So go see it, otherwise you’ll make me look bad, and I totally don’t need that right now.
And now, the winners. Choosing this was brutal because you guys were on fire like my genital sores this week. But here are the top three, the prize winners:
(from Avatar crew congratulates themselves) Chareth Cutestory says: “Good news, we can fly you to an alien planet and graft your DNA with that of an alien, follow that up with a mind-meld thingy, thereby allowing you to infiltrate their species and take them out.”
“And what about my paralysis? How’s that coming?”
“We’re not miracle workers, dude.”
I didn’t get any free stuff to give away this week, but rarely has there been a week when I’ve been so proud to pilot this virtual sex boat of diseased psyches. So as a reward for your collective hilarity and offensiveness, I’m buying the winner Gran Torino on DVD. Before we get started, the requisite explanation for the newbs:
As always, the way this works is, at any time this week, when you read a comment you think worthy of recognition, YOU nominate it by copy and pasting it in the comments section below. I pick the winner from among the nominees the following Sunday/Monday. (To help you find it more easily, the nomination thread is always linked in the ABOUT section).
Starting things off, Chino Moreno in CHIRANJEEVI THE INDIAN BASKETBALL STAR:

Wow. FilmDrunkards predicted this one. Back in March of ‘08, commenter Burnsy wrote, “Was Where’s Waldo a graphic novel? I’d like to see a movie based on that.” Dammit, Burnsy, you know Hollywood people don’t understand sarcasm.
Several studios were in on the search, but Universal and Illumination Entertainment were the ones who found “Where’s Waldo?”
U and Chris Meledandri’s family film unit have acquired screen rights to turn the “Where’s Waldo?” book series into a live-action family pic. Deal was worth high-six against seven figures. Meledandri will produce.
Among other bidders, Warner Bros. chased the property. [Variety]
To recap, not only is someone making a Where’s Waldo movie…
I’ve said as much before, but I guarantee you business meetings in Hollywood involve the new guys Polish boxing while everyone throws oranges at them. But hey, you know who should find Waldo? Liam Neeson. He has a very particular set of skills.
Morning, folks. Christmas is over and you know what that means: back to watching your ass get fatter while your life slips away one Power Point slide at a time. Anyway, welcome back. To hell. I don’t have any sweet DVDs to award this week, probably because the PR reps are all on vacation, but since I’m such a nice guy I’ve so many sins to atone for, I’m buying this week’s winner this sweet Danny Trejo shirt.
As always, the way this works is, when a commenter makes a comment worthy of recognition, YOU nominate it by copy and pasting it in the comments section of this post. I’LL pick the winner from among the nominees next Sunday/Monday. (Often, like today, the winner gets a prize). FYI, the nomination thread is always linked in the ABOUT section.
On to the runners up:
Happy Monday (talk about an oxymoron, LOL!), poopeaters. I’ve got another copy of A Colbert Christmas to give away, so once again, here’s the run down:
Colbert is on his way to perform with Elvis Costello in New York City but is trapped by snow in his cabin in upstate New York (bear country). Luckily, his friends Feist, Toby Keith, John Legend, Willie Nelson and Jon Stewart stop by to help him celebrate the season. “A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!” features original songs written by David Javerbaum (executive producer, “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”) and composer Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), who recently collaborated on the Tony®-nominated Broadway musical “Cry Baby.”
Swell. What say we start with a little Seagal bashing, shall we? From the Steven Seagal has a reality show thread:
Stone Soup says, “I can just picture Seven Seagal busting open a front door using a 3′ salami as a battering ram.”
