Forrest Whitaker’s Oscar Speech

Posted on by

Thank god for YouTube; they reduced a possible four hours of marketing-saturated, passive boredom and bitchily self-indulgent fashion criticism into five minutes of clicking through “Forrest Whitaker” search results and two minutes of the most inspiring Hollywood speech of the last twenty years.

Sorry for the dickwad blathering right over the most important line; it seems that Oscar is a very controlling sort and has sent most of the video captures to the great bit bucket in the sky, where no doubt Lucy and Ricky are enjoying the bit where Helen Mirren performed “Borat” at this very moment.


Alas, YouTube is TheirTube and they have had this video killed. Found another for now.
The transcript still works, though!

Star Trek Nerdgasm: Kirk, Spock and Bones 2.0 cast?

Posted on by

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, nerds and nerdettes, and geeks of … well, geeks are genderless:

we at the ol’ raincoaster blog have an announcement to make. We know who will play Kirk, Spock and McCoy in the new Star Trek XI film.

 Captain James T. Damon

It’s. Matt. Damon. As. Captain. James. Tiberius. Kirk.

Leiutenant Brody, Second in command

Naturally, Adrian Brody is the logical choice for Mr. Spock of Vulcan, a man with far too much innate dignity to allow himself to be referred to by a euphemism for a bathroom function.

I’m Doctor Sinise, not a necrophiliac!

“Dammit, Jim, I’m Gary Sinese, not a necrophiliac with a badge!”

Harry Potter and the treasure trail of statutory doom

Daniel Radcliffe nekkid

Yes, it’s Daniel Radcliffe, nekkid as a jaybird.

Now we know why Sirius had to die. In isolated parts of Nunavut, they could simply have gotten married…

Thanks to the intrepid and ever-vigilant Perez, we now know that the “and two veg” vastly outshines the “meat”, meaning wee Mr. Radcliffe is not only low in calories, but he’s a good source of cancer-fighting phytochemicals. Serve lomi-lomi-style.

Thank me later. Like, when he’s legal.

For more nekkid Radcliffe, check the ol’ raincoaster blog for the play’s poster; for his Match.com profile, and to watch him put the moves on Diana Rigg (also, apparently this photo here is fake, so don’t even think of saving it to your hard drive, posting it in your blog, setting it as your wallpaper, or printing it out poster-sized for hanging in multiples all around your bathroom or boudoir. Don’t even think about it)

maslow’s hierarchy of needs, megalomaniacal blogger edition

Maslow's Hierarchy of Writer's Needs, click for full size

Found via a loopy stagger around and off sulz‘s blog. Cross-posted to running through rain.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is more well-known than well-understood, but now any old Myspace slacker still straight enough to click a quiz without having to close one eye and move his lips while watching YouTube can find out how self-realized s/he may be without all that icky “reading for comprehension” stuff that just slows us down.

The internet moves at the speed of thought. Which explains why it takes this blog so long to load, eh?

Maslow's real hierarchy of civilian needs although who cares about the plebes, eh?

Final Fantasy: otaku nerds pwn bullies

Posted on by

You do not need to understand Japanese to love this video I stole from Japanprobe. It’s two anime nerds (otaku) facing down two bullies, Final Fantasy style. The reading of the scroll is particularly moving, I must say, and the stylistic violence is reminiscent of early Peckinpah although the unconventional heros evoke Tony Ching Siu-tung‘s more humorous masterpieces.
