Post-Post-Friday Beast Blogging: The “Daddy’s Got A New Toy” Edition

Posted by scott on July 19th, 2010

Just playing around with ImageWell, since I no longer have Photoshop on this computer.

And what, you may be asking, can one do to make a Moondoggie picture more awesome? As it turns out, nothing — just get the hell out of his way.

But The Stars We Could Reach Were Just Starfish Führers On The Beach

Posted by scott on July 9th, 2010

Well, after that Victoria Jackson video, we could probably all use a palate cleanser, so here’s a clip from the Japanese action-adventure-sci-fi show Kamen Rider X, in which the hero — a lame Ultraman rip-off who appears to derive his power from a flywheel on his belt — fights the villain Starfish Hitler, who doesn’t appear to be a rip-off of anything or anyone, except for Hitler and possibly some Asterinidae who think his costume goes a little beyond the Fair Use Doctrine.

Patty Hearst for Belvedere Vodka

Posted by scott on July 1st, 2010

As s.z. mentioned, the code monkeys at our hosting company seem finally to have updated the blogging software, so I thought I’d check to see if it was still possible to post images; and to my surprise, it not only works, it actually seems to be a bit easer. There’s a little camera icon and everything.

But to get back to the theme of our ad, which covers 7 stories of the old Broadway Building at Hollywood and Vine: As a slogan, Trust Your Instincts seems a little weak, and I’m pretty sure we can come up with something better. Perhaps a tagline which emphasizes the vodka’s transformative qualities — “Come out of the closet you’ve been bound and gagged in and step up to smooth flavor and random gun violence.” Or maybe, ”You and Belvedere: it’s a Symbiotic relationship.” Or possibly, “Absolut death to the fascist insect that preys upon the people.”

What do you guys think?

MysteryFanFic 3000

Posted by Maryc on June 28th, 2010

As you may have noticed, I’m got a huge crush on Nathan Fillion. Any film or show he’s in? I am so there. And thus it is with his latest (and most successful) television series, Castle.

In a nutshell, Castle is a comedic crime procedural, with a hefty dose of classic, romantic Unresolved Sexual Tension. In it, Nathan (as Richard Castle) is paired with the stunning Stana Katic (as Kate Beckett) in a “will they, won’t they…..okay. They totally will, but when will they” story of a mystery novelist who is shadowing a no-nonsense homicide detective as research. Hilarity, hijinks and double entendres ensue! (Also, dollops of grim backstory about the cop’s murdered mother, but mostly hijinks).

So what do you do when your favorite show goes on hiatus for the summer? You visit the fan fiction sites devoted to that show, and (because you’re married to one half of a writing team that seeks out and mocks bad movies, and it’s sort of rubbed off to the point that you occasionally feel a need to rock the mock yourself), you dig around looking for the most horribly written and unintentionally hilarious piece of crap you can find.

And so, with no further adieu, I give you the absolute worst (so far) Castle fan fiction ever, riffed on by yours truly.

Click and go below the fold…if you dare!

Better Living Through Paranormal Activities!

Posted by Maryc on June 19th, 2010

I was surfing around and happened to stumble upon this ad:

I didn’t actually click on the link, because it might be haunted, but it did make me wonder about the kind of paranormal activities that could change my life — and my afterlife!

1. Dragging ’round the chains you forged in life is a great way of firming your biceps and triceps.

2. Being able to walk through walls means no more waiting behind the velvet ropes at clubs!

3. Haunting: It’s basically like being a paparrazo, but without having to lug around all that heavy, expensive camera equipment.

4. Ghosts lower the temperature in any room they’re in, so no need for the AC on hot days! Ka-Ching!

5. Being able to float will cut your commute time in half!

6. Transmigration of souls is a green alternative to traveling by car.

7. Being Touched by an Angel leads to very ethereal games of Duck Duck Goose.

8. Having an “Out of Body” experience can be used to get out of jury duty.

9. As a ghost, you can talk to Jennifer Love Hewitt whenever you want! (But tell her to SPEAK UP, for the love of god!)

Crap, that’s only nine, and I’m afraid mournful, keening spectres will torment me if I don’t collect the whole set. So what do you guys think? What sort of paranormal activities would change your life forever?
