The new guys in The Office

October 28 2011

This was easily the highlight of this year's Emmys for me. The guys from The Office and a few new employees tell us what they find most annoying about their jobs. Definitely worth a look if you missed it (or a second look if you did catch it). (Via College...

For Sale: 1949 Triumph Trophy TR5 motorbike. One owner. Has not been taken out for a spin since 1984. Sit on it! Seriously, it's being auctioned!  Source: The Sydney Morning Herald. * If you thought that The Fonz jumped the shark on water skis, you would be correctamundo!  But it would be just as cool jumping a shark with a motorbike like Lance Murdoch did on The...

A 'Very Special' Video

October 27 2011

They were the episodes that "no parent could miss". The "very special episodes".  They're passé now (could you imagine "A very special episode of ... 30 Rock"??) but it seemed like every sitcom in the 80s and 90s had them.  This video strings together some of the very best awful "very special episodes".  Take a...

And you thought that The Muppets had had their day. Well, it seems like The Great Muppet Revival of 2011 is in full swing.  Last week they released their latest trailer for their new movie, The Muppets, which personally I can't wait for (seriously, who doesn't love the Muppets?).  Check it out below.  This one has actual plot details and too many celebrity...

Great Scott! Two iconic vehicles up for sale in a week? Whoa, this is heavy. Last week it was The Fonz's wheels. This week it's the DeLorean from Back to the Future Part III.  Flux capacitor and Mr Fusion included, I guess. Source: (rather fittingly) Time magazine. By the way Hollywood, while you're auctioning off legend-mobiles do you mind adding the following to...

When I first visited New York City in 1996 I had this niggling feeling that I'd been there before.   It didn't take me long to realise, I had been.  We all have.  Via TV and film.  New York is one big film set and I'd been visiting it every day from the comfort of my loungeroom ever since my parents sat me down in front of Sesame Street when I...

There is often some trepidation when a successful franchise branches out to a new city or continent. There’s a knife’s edge that creators are walking on between getting it completely right, and jumping the shark. But I have to say, when Law & Order: UK premiered on TV1 last night I was pleasantly surprised.  Don’t expect it to feel like the Law &...

Twentieth Century Fox confirmed last week that Bruce Willis will be back for another Die Hard.  Yipikaye! The title? Well they didn't go with the one above or any of the other suggestions floating around. Instead went with something more in your face: A Good Day To Die Hard.  Sounds like a Bond movie. Which I suppose the series is sort of becoming.  I for...

Well, this fantastic print from designer Yoni Alter on Society6 proves that they can also tell you a lot about cartoon characters.  And you just thought that drawing cartoon eyes was as simple as drawing two circles with two black dots?  Can you name them all?  Kermit the Frog and Daffy...

As the highly anticipated full trailer for Breaking Dawn – Part 1 was released this week, Twi-Hards the world over were sent into mass hysteria, while parents the world over turned an appropriately vampire-shade of white as they saw the latest instalment in the story their children adore so much.  If the sight of an 18-year-old Bella looking like she might vomit as she walks...
