Quote of the DayTNT-The Closer)"For Heaven's sake, Fritizie, if we all stopped lying to each other, how would we ever get to the truth?"

So, unless you’ve been living in a cave (without access to the Internet), you would have missed that Keith Carradine, Ed Mcmahon, Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Fred Travalena, and now Jeff Goldblum have all died.

Wait, you didn’t hear about Goldbloom? You say that you can still see him on Law & Order: Criminal Intent on the USA Network on Sunday nights. Well, apparently then you missed the Tweet about his death, the report on Channel Nine from New Zealand TV:

Still, perhaps you watched this bit on the Colbert Report:

College Humor has a funny new musical video up celebrating the most popular social websites of the net, done by a couple of over stuffed singers and, uh, a few musical theater majors.

Sound req'd.

So I have this professional friend...or rather this friend who is a fellow professional. He is a cartoonist, and well, has been having a bit of personal and professional bad luck. In this tough economy he is having some difficulty getting a stead stream of assignments and, is getting evicted. He has to move out of his place at the end of the month (which as you all know is two days from now).

I’ve been doing what I can to get Rusty hooked up with more work, or representation of some sort (even commissioned and purchased art from him recently). I’ve also been trying to get other friends of ours to help in in whatever way they could. Sever folks have risen to the challenge (including the folks at Bryanna Bunny, who have set up a donation fund for Rusty, and the guys over at Free Lunch Comics who are holding a charity auction to help raise money for Rusty).

Rust was doing a bunch of great work in the ‘80s and ‘90s for Marvel, Dc, Archie, and other companies. He is also the creator of Ace & Queenie, a very cool action/adventure anthropomorphic espionage series, that began live over at Radio Comix and lives now on the Web.

In the mean time, take a look at a very cool comic that Rusty recently drew (I'm trying to see if I can find a magazine that will purchase it — so if you know of any editor that want's to get his or her hands on a very talented cartoonist, let me know).

@PolarBear60 whenit comes to @alisonkent it's a control issue. This tweetboard's an experiment and is subject to... http://inreply.to/bxs

It's annoying and starts slow, but still this video comes around to making my point beautifully.

Get ready for your grandchildren to pay money that doesn't actually do anything.

OK, OK, so Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is 2:42 long, is (extremely) light on story, and big on big metal (CGI) robots kicking the crap out of each other. Who care? I paid my seven-bucks-and-change, and enjoyed my self immensely!

Seriously!

Hey, I know it wasn’t Crash, The Departed, or No Country for Old Men, but it was never meant to be. It is two hours and 42 minutes of explosions, giant (CGI) robots kicking the crap out of each other, and Megan Fox. Seriously, what more could you ask for on a hot summer day to kill a couple (or three) hours.

I didn’t go to see the film to have my cerebral cortex stimulated, to think deep thought. I went to get entertained, and the film did just that.

Transformers is pure, unadulterated fun, and if you were expecting something more, or deepter, you clearly wandered into the wrong theater.

Then there were these two specific vids that were simply silly beyond measure.

Then of course there is one of my favorite segments...You Don’t know Dick:

Waxman-Markey will rape your dog, kill your fish, and raise gasoline prices 74%. Good news: Only one of these is true.

So, I just saw a clip for a new Vampire flick. according to the info I have the film takes place in the year 2019, after a plague has transformed most of the human race into vampires. In this über-stylized futuristic world of tomorrow vampires are the dominate race and run everything, while humans are on the verge of extinction. However, faced with imminent starvation, a vampire (Ethan Hawk) turns to a human (Willem Dafoe) and his band of the last remaining humans for help. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind. The film is called Daybreakers and is written and directed by Peter and Michael Spierig. The film stars Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill.

you can watch the trailer here (I suggest you do, as it is wicked-cool, sexy fun—unfortunately there is no embedding function).

While I’m admittedly more Werewülf than Vampyre, this looks like a film that I’m going to want to catch.

Or you could watch the trailer here (just got the code—thanks Walt)
