Minimalist superhero silhouette posters.  You say minimalist, I hear “lazy”.  (comicsalliance)

5 things to consider before starting your career as a super villain.  I’d say picking a really weak, effeminate superhero to be the adversary of would be a pretty good idea.  Like the brother from The Wonder Twins.  (uproxx)

Here is the trailer for the new movie Monsters, and it looks fucking awesome — even though it’s not a sequel to Monster as I was hoping it would be.  (youtube)

5 classic sitcoms that seem to always be on T.V.  It’s really pretty crazy when you think of how many episodes there are of these multi-camera sitcoms, which are all basically presented in one location during their entire run.  I mean, Cheers was always set in the bar; The Cosby Show was always set in their house.  Madness!  Madness, I say!  (unrealitymag)

You saw Scott Pilgrim, right?  Did you like it?  Here are some fake promotional posters based around the character of Lucas Lee.  What’s sad is these movies actually exist in some form.  (iwatchstuff)

Even more from the “What did I just watch?” dept.: a Vitamin Water commercial starring Gary Busey.  Isn’t filming Busey being Busey considered a form of ridicule/condescension/patronization?  (youtube)

Red velvet cake fried chicken, because we’re fat and don’t give a fuck about what we eat.  Isn’t that right, America?  (urbandaddy)

Here’s that list of “homemade sex toys for men” you requested, Mr. Spencer.  (ranker)

Everything you ever wanted to know about Ed the Head, Iron Maiden’s ever present mascot.  Not to be confused with Evil Ernie, who I always thought could be a distant relative in the world of non-existent but still scary, half-dead demon dudes.  (gunaxin)

The dude who invented the cell phone talks about the good old days when they were the size of a brick, cost $4000, and didn’t come equipped with texting capabilities.  Sounds like a blast.  (cnn)

HA!  Remember yesterday when I made a post about the Super Mario Bros. crossover dude being pissed about characters he coulda used?  Well here are some one’s that didn’t make the cut!  (youtube)

Christian Bale is probably going to be in Zack Snyder’s next film.  Just like I’m probably going to get a beer after I post this.  (pajiba)

Wow.  Mel Gibson.  You’re done, brother.  Here is the official audio of his now infamous rant to his ex-girlfriend.  I just can’t believe it’s Maverick saying this shit.  It’s like finding out Santa isn’t real.  (wwtdd)

Kevin Bacon in that new X-Men flick?  Sure, why not.  (deadline)

Michael Caine has confirmed it: the new Batman movie begins filming April of next year.  I don’t mean to sound morbid, but when one of the stars of your film is almost 80 don’t you…I don’t know…get that motherfucker on the fast track?  I mean, don’t you believe in the Batman Curse, Christopher Nolan??  (digitalspy)

6 people who turned a life of crime into legitimate careers.  Sadly, none of my relatives are on this list.  (cracked)

So apparently canceling Party Down wasn’t enough; now Netflix has removed it too?  Take it easy, guys!  It was a comedy!  (avclub)

These days “NSFW” could mean anything from a little bit of nip to girls going potty in a cup and ingesting it.  These new NSFW labels should make it easier to decide “do I want to see what I’m about to see?”  (buzzfeed)

10 movies with balls.  What kind of balls am I talking about?  Literal balls, metaphorical balls?  Allegorical, figurative…even hypothetical, perhaps?  Sports-related balls?  Anatomy related?  Just click the goddamn link already.  (gunaxin)

Tons of movie stills with funny little captions.  Suitable for ages 8 to 80.  (thechive)

Christina Hendricks likes whiskey.  And I bet that whiskey likes Christina Hendricks.  (warmingglow)

Some skater dude turns an iPad into a workable skateboard and uses it.  Meanwhile, I ate plain oatmeal for breakfast today again, and had a slice of pizza for dinner.  Will I be able to pay my phone bill?  Who knows.  Tune in next week for “Joey doesn’t have money to burn, but some assholes do”.  (geekologie)

This looks like something Ben would drop some serious dough on:  ”Supreme” Omega Supreme.  (toplessrobot)

Weird, retro, and vaguely erotic movie (?) posters from who knows when.  (wrongsideoftheart)

Lastly, here’s the new trailer for Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut, Jack Goes Boating.  He plays Jack.  He has tiny little dreadlocks.  And he’s super awkward.  I smell a nomination of some sort!  (youtube)

Despite the BTTF hoax that overtook the internet yesterday, there is new proof that perhaps “the future” isn’t that far away.  I give you: self-lacing shoes.  (geekologie)

Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon review a porn parody of Reno 911.  It’s disturbing how much the porn actress portraying Weigel looks like her.  *chills*  (funnyordie)

Some dude whipped up a rogue’s gallery of Batman villains for his portfolio, and it’s pretty nifty.  (comicsalliance)

Someone from the San Diego Zoo just watched Jurassic Park and thought it’d be a good idea to pull a John Hammond.  “Hold on to your butts!” (gammasquad)

James Cameron is set to re-release my favorite film, Titanic, in 3D.  The boner in my pants has also just entered the third dimension.  (avclub)

Colin Farrell to play Ozzy Osbourne in a movie?  Sure, why not.  They’re both guys, so it’s an obvious match.  It’s not like movie execs give a fuck anymore anyway.  (filmdrunk)

Lizzy Caplan hints at a Party Down movie, but we know how those “cancelled show brought back in movie form” rumors go.  Isn’t that right, Ally McBeal???  (hitflix)

Speaking of cancelled shows, here’s a list of cancelled shows that should be brought back.  I bet you can guess at least two that are on this list.  I’ll give you a hint: Arrested Development and Freaks and Geeks. (tvsquad)

Magnetic Silly Putty!  Kids today are so lucky.  All mine did was do a mediocre job of copying the Sunday funny papers.  Okay, it did a good job of going up my nose, too.  But we don’t tell anyone about that.  (geekologie)

In a surefire sign of a dementia onset, Ridley Scott is asking you everyday schmoes to submit to him some Youtube videos so that he can use them to make his next movie, clearly forgetting that he was the dude who did Alien and Blade Runner.  (iwatchstuff)

Louis C.K. has a new show, which we should all be thankful for because he’s one of the funniest stand-up comedians still writing and performing today, and here’s a clip from it.  Sensitive, P.C. types with no sense of humor be warned: they frankly discuss gay lifestyles in a very funny, very heartfelt way.  (warmingglow)

Awesome building-sized Inception posters.  (firstshowing)

Prince claims the internet to be dead.  And if you’ve ever heard Prince play guitar, you know the man knows what he’s talking about.  (mirror)

What’s going no with Scream 4?  Does anyone care?  No?  Cool then.  (slashfilm)

I’m sure you’ve seen BLU’s work.  He’s the dude who does those awesome wall graffiti stop-motion animations.  Here is his latest.  (vimeo)

Top 10 action movie babes.  Nothing like a broad who ain’t afraid to shed a little blood.  (askmen)

Rube Goldberg machines are awesome because they make completing a simple task a very complicated, technical process.  In that way, my everyday life is much like a Rube Goldberg machine.  (weburbanist)

Remember how I reported that American Apparel was going out of business?  Here’s a prime example why.  Sidenote: if you see this dickhead on the street, beat him up.  (americanapparel)
