Another Sexy Hollywood Star Panders To Nerds. . .In The Grossest Way Possible

Happy Wednesday to my Brawny Men and Brainy Women. You know how I don’t really do comic books or sports? Cause I’m just a girl or something? Well Optimus Rhyme (he has a Y chromosome, you guys!), told me you would care about this. Like, apparently Captain America is playing for the Dallas Cowboys or something? I dunno, let’s go shopping. (Nerdist)

Hahah, just kidding! Gender stereotypes are adorable. Like this article from the AV Club that encourages grown women to not feel embarrassed about liking stupid sh*t like Justin Bieber because, OMG, the boys are allowed to have Storm Trooper Action figures. No. You love Justin Bieber? I don’t care about your gender, that’s not cute. You hear me, Graydon Carter? Not cute. (AV Club)

Speaking of uncute ladies, Science Fiction has an interesting (but totally bullsh*t) defense of Sansa Stark from “Game of Thrones.” I hesitated to post this, because of the spoiler fear that’s sweeping the nation, but the article itself has no spoilers beyond the first season of the show and I rather admire people when they champion an unpopular opinion. (Even when they’re really really wrong.) I will say this, based on Season One of “Game of Thrones” alone, Sansa has proved herself to be a completely obnoxious yet sympathetic character. Please no book spoilers in the comments, my dear ones, lest I sic Dire Wolf on you. (Science Fiction)

Compared to Casey Anthony, however, Sansa looks like a saint. I avoided much of this trial, but I did read Courtney’s fantastic piece yesterday and have to agree that Casey belongs on this All-Time Most Surprising Acquittals list. Personally, however, I’d put O.J. above her, but only because I was such a young and innocent Link Wench when that whole thing played out. (Ranker)

But if you’re bummed about the Casey Anthony verdict, don’t worry guys, Dexter’s on it.(Warming Glow)

Speaking of cuddly sociopaths (Dexter, not Anthony), here’s an adorable plushy version of Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Who’s the cutest Droog? You are! Yes you are!! (Dangerous Minds)

AudioSuede’s Christian Hagen (who was just married…grats, CH!), sent me this list of Best Albums of 2011 so far. I have to agree about that Bon Iver album. (AudioSuede)

Speaking of top-notch musical genius (damnit, where’s my sarcasm font?), Lily Allen is finishing up her Bridget Jones musical. Oh yes, this is happening. After the success Billy Elliot it was sort of inevitable. (Gothamist)

And while we’re talking about high-end culture, /Film has a sneak peek into the Crazy 4 Cult art show. Actually, I don’t mean to be a snob about this stuff, I love it with all my latchkey heart. (/Film)

Here’s a culture clash comparison of Star Wars and “Harry Potter.” The similarities are a little eerie but they missed out on a Dobby/Yoda floppy ear photo. (Bitcast)

The lads at I Love Charts posted this great breakdown of Eddie Vedder’s sound. Study this and your Vedder impression might maybe one day be as good as mine. (Mine’s pretty good. No, really, it’s like Sandler good. I’ll do it for you some day.)

You know how pretty Hollywood actresses get grief for pandering to nerds? Well here is the prettiest Hollywood star of them all, Nathan Fillion, pandering with this completely disgusting PSA about Swamp *ss. I mean, it’s funny, but it’s gross.

But nothing made me laugh harder today than this dude’s video which he made to shame his friend for canceling their trip to Raging Waters. I feel you, dude, Raging Waters is the best.

Joanna Robinson once dressed as Alex from “A Clockwork Orange” for Halloween. When she walked into the costume shop and asked for white suspenders and a bowler, the proprietor declared, “DROOG!” That’s some Ollivander-type sh*t, that is.

As the resident Dallas Cowboys fan around here, I'll go ahead and say that this Marvel/Cowboys crossover is stupid.

I am shocked - I truly had no idea that San Dimas was a for-real place - I thought it was made up for Bill & Ted, kinda like Rancho Carne (please don't tell me that is a real place too!)

kinda like Rancho Carne (please don't tell me that is a real place too!)

The Toros' high school was made up but missing a turn in Rancho Cucamonga isn't.

JoRo, didn't you also say you play the ukelele, too? Lose your sense of humor and you could BE Eddie Vedder!

The NHL comic crossover, however, was epicly bad and all the better for it.

The (ugh) Flyer is probably the best.

Fillion is the genuine nerd article, no pandering there. Also, he said "grundle". That's one of the 9 Nerd Holy Words.

JoRo, I challenge you to not laugh harder at this card than at that video:

I disagree with a few of the Audiosuede entries, but seriously, fuck Tyler the Creator.

Oh Nathan Fillion. No amount of gross can ever stick to you.

Married (and straight) as I am (thanks, btw!), I would totally jump his muscle-bound bones.

Sansa Stark is supposed to be a little twat. Her's is the downfall of chirpy romanticism when confronted by bloody reality. It's what makes her such a sad character. Her dreams were so much higher than her sibling's.

If San Dimas was where Bill and Ted lived, and Rancho Carne is where the slutty cheerleaders bring it on, where the hell were all those damn vampires from?

Posted by: kirbyjay at July 6, 2011 6:42 PM

Hell, I'll defend Sansa! First of all, SHE'S A CHILD, FOR STARK'S SAKES. A child who's been kept completely sheltered from the real world, then basically tossed into a snake pit. I think she's a very realistic character, and that makes me like her. She's interesting, and I'm excited to see how she progresses from here.

Yep, just fell in love with the Fillion all over again. I think I like the way he says 'taint.' Plus the look on his face when the dryer goes down his pants. Sigh...

Posted by: MG at July 6, 2011 8:30 PM

I'll defend Sansa too. I think people forget she's only 13. It's expected of her to be a proper lady and grow up to marry a man she doesn't know and give him children. Why wouldn't she romanticize it? Her actions may not be admirable, but they seem entirely reasonable to me.

Ugh...you were always pretty irritating Joanna, but I think you've surpassed that and turned into a female Dustin.
