Operation Global Media Domination: The Helen Mirren Situation

TIAI am thrilled to the very core of my being to report that thanks to the mysterious workings of the intertubes this humble blog is now #1 in Google searches for

Helen Mirren Naked.”

Once again, that search term is Helen Mirren Naked. For the hard of reading, we repeat: Helen Mirren Naked.

And that blog post is here Helen Mirren Topless: Tardis Companion Hot.

The Greatest Porn Intro In The History Of Recorded History

Bar none. Presenting Brandon Irons, porn star extraordinaire, mixing it up with an Eastern European beauty and a huge, menacing, Canadian garter snake. SFW, I might mention.

Someone find this movie, watch it, and tell me that, yes, they DO make a pun about garter snakes at some point.

Eddie Izzard’s Death Star Canteen Routine, in Lego

Just what it says, people. Empty your bladders before clicking Play, particularly if you’ve been helping out in any technical help forums. When he gets into the thing with the tray you will lose control

BTW: those Lego figurines’ acting is at LEAST as good as some of the Star Wars actors’.

Bevolicher Warning: a public service announcement

The Bevolicher, a carnivorous creature which lives on the flesh of baristas, is reported to be at large. Please report Bevolicher sightings to your local branch of the Masons or Knights Templar, as appropriate. Do not approach the Bevolicher yourself, as it may be dangerously peckish and prone to noxiously obscure foreign film references.

Goddam! My birthday just disappeared!

Quiz: what kind of 30’s wife would you be?

The Women

cross-posted from TeenyManolo and I really wonder how the relative demographics will stack up. According to the data I can find, this blog skews strongly male, considerably more intelligent and educated than average, and with a substantially lower income than average. Ah, my people. At least, all my ex-boyfriends.

While I’ve long suspected I would not flourish in the era, it must be admitted that I love watching Thirties movies, and am slightly addicted to the bizarre hats of the period.

But it’s not a problem. I can stop wearing those hats any time. Seriously. And I’m sure the staff at Home Depot and the grocery store wishes I would.

But now comes scientific(ish) proof, once and for all, that I’d be an absolutely rotten Thirties housewife. I find solace in the fact that so would Katherine Hepburn and Myrna Loy. Oh, who wants to be that insipid martyr Mrs. Stephen Haines, when you could be the fabulously kooky Irene Bullock or the witty and wonderful Nora Charles? They’d both be fabulous failures in this quiz, too.
