Eva Mendes, The Chick Who Laid The Golden Goose

I’m sorry about that headline, folks. There was something about the blend of fairytale and salacious celebrity gossip that I could not resist. Anyway, allegedly, Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have been knocking tha boots for a little while. Can you blame them? (Evil Beet) Speaking of Gosling, have you seen this phenomenal new tumblr riffing on his “Hey Girl” meme? I stole it from Angeleno Ewok. (Feminist Ryan Gosling)

In other Baby Goose news, the lovely Nathaniel Rogers has an exhaustive post on the top actors under 35. It’s a phenomenal article and shows off Nathaniel’s encyclopedic knowledge of cinema both current and classic. Also, I mean, I’m not going to argue with his number one pick. (Towleroad)

Being a pop culture junkie and unapologetic fan of puns and portmanteaus, I couldn’t resist this site. Caution, some mildly NSFW cartoons amidst the “Air Gorgon,” “Buffalo Bill & Ted,” and “Dr. Whoxtable.” (Gallery 1988)

Has any one character inspired more fan artwork than Ron F*cking Swanson? Here’s a breakfast food-themed one courtesy of megandoodle. (Etsy)

Speaking of fan art, I’m hugely impressed by these sci-fi portraits. (The Curious Brain)

Finally, we’ve got not one, but two Dr. Seuss spoofs, the Lovecraftian “Call Of The Cthulhu and the possibly also NSFW puberty-centric “Now That You’re Big.”

This, I promise, is the last NSFW link. While the images are sliiiightly porny (no nudity), the real focus is the fake blackboards used in the films/promo shots. I wouldn’t click on the link if your boss has a site tracker given, you know, the word “porn” in the link title. But the whole project cracked me up. Thanks, Other Greg! (Blackboards In Porn)

Speaking of academic writing, here’s a lovely snapshot of the difference between technical and literary writing. (The High Definite)

Of course, they say a picture’s worth a thousand words, how many do you think these Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition entries are worth? (The Big Picture)

While we’re on the subject of photography, here is a lovely series called “Victorians Smiling.” Part One and Part Two.

This story, sent to me by my sister, made me smile. Love can happen at any age, no matter how muppety you look. (The Daily)

Bierce Ambrose sent me this lovely article on Sarah Palin’s decision to sit out the 2012 Presidential Race. Come for the politics, stay for the wholly unexpected Eat, Pray, Love snark. (Washington Post)

Candygram. (io9)

As much as I loved Trent Reznor’s score for The Social Network, I think I love this sample from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo more. Free mp3 for anyone who is interested. It’s good moody music for your cube. (Dragon Tattoo)

Remember how I mentioned love at any age? Here it is, an older couple playing a piano duet. Thanks, MelBivDevoe.

And, finally, while we’re on the subject of music, here’s a history of lyrics which aren’t words. Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye, y’all.

Um...is that muppet-y looking lady throwing gang signs? I think she might be.

Would I have a MMF with Eva and Ryan Gosling? Yes.

Would I make a sex tape? Yes.

Would it receive a pithy review from Dustin Rowles? Yes.

I'm so happy after reading that story, the dutchess of alba is now my favorite which king of agmar (when you put on the ring) lookalike. and she doesn't have to kneel before the pope apparently.
and it was time those Victorians lightened up a bit they usually look so dour

Of course jealousy plays a part in this, but after recently watching Last Night, I've decided I can't stand Eva Mendes. No discernible acting talent and 24/7 drunkface.

I love you, Eva!

Call me!

No Gosling goes unmentioned here.


I learned this morning that someone had to rewrite most of "Tutti Frutti"'s lyrics, mostly into gibberish, so they could record it without all the talk of anal sex.

The Modern Scholar series, I'm tellin' you.

That pop-art is genius. Micrography - genius. Posters - genius.

So much genius. Can we please get these people jobs in the media-industrial complex, so we can see more of their stuff?!

Though this sentence presents many interesting questions, I think the most interesting is the question of whether Pajiba would reveiw a Pajiban-made porn.

Hmm... just peeked at the "Top Ten Actors Under 35" and have to say, I agree categorically with his whole list, as well as his "Undervalued" and "Overvalued" lists. (Enver Gjokaj shoutout!)

As to his "Have They Peaked Or Not" list, I have to say no to Jesse Eisenberg because I still love him, and also that I'm surprised for some reason that Jake Gyllenhal is under 35.

Ah ha... so Baby Goose likes the brown meat!

Smart man, er... goose... baby, gosling...

Aaron Paul is not anywhere on that Actors Under 35 list. That is a major oversight. The man has two Emmys, for fuck's sake! His work on Big Love was great also. And he inhabits Weird Al like no other.

Good point, Three-nineteen. Aaron Paul, bitches!

That non-lyrics as lyrics video was good but it was missing half of the Rolling Stones catalog.

Posted by: muchsarcasm at October 10, 2011 6:28 PM

Angeleno Ewok! I know her! Oh, but more Gosling adoration...ugh.

Thanks for the photomicrography and Reznor links. Those are great.

Sharks?

Now that's what I call a Water Hazzard!
Hacha-cha-cha!

That close-up pic of the fly actually made me back away from the monitor in horror. So much hair.

I've determined why I can't go for Baby Goose. He looks like a cleaned up version of John McCrea from CAKE. And cleaned up is not how I like my CAKE.
