New Avengers Banners! And A Significantly Less Constipated Bruce Banner!

There are new Avengers banner ads out today. I don’t usually care about this sort of thing, but the first publicity still of Mark Ruffalo (above, on the right) was such an affront to his hotness that I want to broadcast this significant improvement. Also pictured are the rest of the crew including Hiddleston and Jackson. (/Film)

To all of you ‘muricans, what are your Thanksgiving plans? Are you cooking for tons of family? Eating Rice-A-Roni? My only job is to show up, make this Stuffing and drink all the things. If you’ve got more on your plate, the Awl has a handy countdown of what you should do in the next week to prepare. (The Awl)

This right here is the best Wilford Brimley/The Thing/diabetes cartoon you will see all day. (Left Brain Right Brain)

The Hollywood Foreign Press have hired Ricky Gervais back to host The Golden Globes next year. I guess negative attention is still attention, right? (FilmDrunk)

Flavorpill has 10 Famous Literary Characters And Their Real Life Inspirations. The real Tintin! (Flavorpill)

My sister was just telling me about these handsets you can plug into your mobile phones…so you can cradle the receiver against your shoulder and walk around hands free? Isn’t this why the good lord invented speakerphone? (Laughing Squid)

If I buy this “Lost”/”A Team” Teefury shirt today, it will be the second shirt I own with a cartoon Daniel Faraday on it. I am okay with this. (Teefury)

Speaking of beloved TV men with facial hair, in a fight between Jack Donaghy and Ron Swanson, my money’s on the mustache. (AV Club)

Rejects has the 8 Promised Movies That Still Haven’t Been Made And Might Never Be. Oh yeah, the Bluths are on there, but I’m much more interested in the Alice film. (Rejects)

NBC has commissioned a remake of “The Munsters.” While this sounds like it ought to be a terrible idea, I have a lot of faith in Bryan Fuller (“Pushing Daisies”). Also, Ron Perlman may be looking for work soon…(Warming Glow)

Oh god, look at this “Merging Famous Duos” photoshopping post at your peril. I’ll never be same after seeing that John McCain/Sarah Palin hybrid. (Unreality)

Finally, for those of you who love musicals, West Side Story celebrated its 50th anniversary this week. Slate has a cute round-up of comedians spoofing the Jets and the Sharks. (Slate) Also, the “Buffy” musical episode “Once More With Feeling” celebrates its 10th anniversary. TFE has a wonderful tribute. (The Film Experience)

This Carrie Fischer video may be a bit rambly and her plastic surgery face may be hard to look at but, essentially, she tells Shatner to kiss her Space Buns. Worth it. Some language NSFW.

Both jim and thesecondmouse sent me this British Holiday advert. Oh, yeah, it’s too early for this sh*t. But a) it’s adorable and b) you need to watch it to understand this magnificent parody video.

Joanna Robinson is so ready for the Holidays. She can’t even tell you.

That video didn't make me cry at all! These are coffee tears. I get them in the mornings.

I heard (after the fact) that a friend got to see James Marsters at an event in Austin this week, cried jealous tears. As soon as I'm done working through the new Childish Gambino this ep is going on repeat on the iTouch.

(PS: JoRo, had the ultrasound - it's a boy!)

[What? No I am not currently buying him a tiny fez and tweed jacket. That's a preposterous hypothesis. Also totally not price checking baby suspenders and bow ties. Absurd.--JR]

I would have enjoyed the Carrie Fisher vid a lot more if I didn't keep focusing on how old she looked and sounded. The posture and the facial expressions made me think of a stroke victim... and worst of all is she's only two years older than me. Holy hell, I hope I don't look that elderly!

My big plans for Thanksgiving dinner: I'm going to gorge on Mrs Smith cherry pie (and try to forget how old I am.) I'm really looking forward to it.

Damn you and your adorable video.

Nope, didn't tear up even a little bit.

I also didn't shed a tear for this commercial:

Fuck all y'all

This year, I'm stuffing a turkey with a hair metal band and calling it TURDOKKEN.

Too bad no one in my "real life" (you know, has physically met me) loves Doctor Who like you saucy, fantastic bitches. No one will appreciate the Doctor Who Growth Chart I have ready to hang. No joke; it features Ten and Donna as well as Judoon, Cybermen and a Dalek. I cannot WAIT to nerd this baby into the vortex!

bev rage,

You've just blown my mind.

Posted by: Paultera at November 17, 2011 4:08 PM

I ignored the warnings of fellow commenters and now I'm tearing up at work doing the "don't mind me, something in my eye" act. Thanks a lot, Joanna.

RE handset: I saw something like that for sale at Steinmart. And actually considered getting one. Just for the hell of it. I kinda miss the old school phones.

If you try not to look at her face and don't listen to her voice too closely, Carrie Fisher still has a great rack.

Posted by: Paultera at November 17, 2011 5:23 PM

The retro phone receiver I want is the kind from the 20's. You know, the kind where the earpiece is in one hand and the "talking into" bit is in the other. That would be cool.

I'm still waiting for Blood Meridian to be made.

Love Carrie Fisher - but my god, the woman should have ponied up for Dolly Parton's plastic surgeon.

Posted by: idiosynchronic at November 17, 2011 7:39 PM

Thinkgeek has had those retro handsets for years. They even have a cordless Bluetooth version.

And there is no Banner but Ed Norton.

Carrie Fisher has endured years of electroshock therapy to regain her sanity, so I think I'll give her a pass on the way she looks.

Posted by: Three-nineteen at November 17, 2011 9:51 PM

Isn't that Garth Marenghi in the top left?

Posted by: Renton at November 18, 2011 5:22 AM

Don't worry snapnhiss. There's no way you've done enough cocaine in your life to worry about looking like Carrie Fisher.

I'm not sure how you'll be able to do it Patty, but when he's Dalek sized you have to make sure he has an affection for the word exterminate. Also, a future Sontaran Halloween costume has the potential to be the cutest thing ever. (Yes I know my definition of cute is weird.)

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at November 18, 2011 8:51 AM

Socrates, the definition of cute (in this context) is "anything that makes a baby look funny", and a Sontaran definitely applies. I would get a bit tired of explaining it to EVERYONE all night, but the photos would make it worth it.

Posted by: Patty O'Green at November 18, 2011 9:52 AM

Three-nineteen, I'd agree with you but I've seen some fairly recent interviews where she doesn't look or sound that bad. This one is only two years old:

I think whoever tightened up her face screwed up some underlying muscles.

Posted by: snapnhiss at November 18, 2011 1:49 PM

Wow, Mark Ruffalo, that's the best Blue Steel I've seen in a long time.
