Joss is writing and producing an internet musical called “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog.” It will star Captain Tight Pants (Nathon Fillion) as Captain Hammer, and Felicia Day (former slayerette and current “The Guild” star).

Hear it from Joss, Nathon and Felicia.

Whedon, Captain, Muscial, Blog… these are all words that I like. Put them together in one concept and my geek asplode.

Here’s the rest of the whatever:

Food Fight – a short film (all major war conflicts acted out by food from the regions involved in the wars)
The most awesome measuring cup – this recipe calls for “half a human brain” of flour
Robot dog – rise of the machines
“Lost Boys” sequel trailer features Feldman. Does anything really “feature” Feldman?
The Wii is super hackable now
The Muppets in a stone/sex comedy?
Nintendo DS Syth

Podcast for this week is up in the air since Josh will be off gallivanting (literally) in another state and Eli will be at a couple of cons. Trying to figure out when we might be able to do one. Otherwise I’m going to edit the Lunchcast from February and use that.

Here are some things to have:

Steampunk Mac Mini: what will they steam-punk-out next?
Hack-A-Sketch = fucking hAwesome
Buffy isn’t gay, but her girlfriend is
Ohh, tha-uts na-usty: Cleveland gets a Family Guy spinoff
TRON sequel in the works
The Onion Movie
HAHAHAHAHAH! Monster cables vs. coat hangers
Judgement day is upon us
Starbuck + 6 + leather + motorcylces = some geek’s head just asplode

UPDATE!
I forgot to link to the best thing I have ever seen on the internet. Seriously, it’s all been worth it because of this video: Will Arnett Sex Tape (from Human Giant Season 2)

I was more impressed when I thought it said “milliseconds”

Josh and Eli invited me to the new “Rambo” movie, but the 24 hour baby sitting service I use doesn’t exist so we had to pass. A fellow Corn Mo fan at RumorsDaily.com posted a Rambo Death Chart. It’s a special movie if a Death Chart is a useful record keeping tool. “Driving Ms. Daisy” did not require such a chart.

This is my favorite part:

Josh emailed me late that night with his review:

start with the crazy violence in Ricky-Oh, only using modern techniques that basically make it look real, then multiply that by about 100, you get the new Rambo.

FUCKING.

AWESOME.

Me and eli were freaking out in the theater it was so sweet.

This paints a picture of school girl enthusiasm that I envy, rather than pity. I’ll also take this opportunity to make sure that anyone who enjoys a good TERRIBLE kung fu movie that makes absolutely no sense and is completely perfect in every way knows about “Ricky-Oh“, or “The Story of Ricky”.

This is a minimal amount of blood for Ricky-Oh.

I won’t spoil what happens to this guy.

If you can’t find a copy of this movie (and I suggest you try), you can see the short version or just the dead bodies on YouTube. Josh showed me this movie the first time we hung out, thus setting the stage for our entire friendship.
