Let me just preface this Pajiba Love by reminding all the Torontonian Pajibans that Edgar Wright, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Ellen Wong are going to be doing signing at HMV today at 12:30 for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, which is super awesome and explains why I’m writing this at 6:30 in the morning so that I can squeeze in the writing and the gym and still be there early. Awesome!

Remember how the next installment of the James Bond franchise was canned indefinitely? Well not anymore, because they’re planning on getting the next Bond movie into theaters by November of 2012, despite being in the hole for $4 Billion. Which I guess means James Bond’s next gadgets are pretty much going to consist of rubber bands and paper clips. (Film Drunk)

It’s finally happened people: Keanu Reeves has become self-aware, and is now toying with the paparazzi. Goddammit Keanu, we liked you better when you were all mopey and depressed! Go back to eating things while being miserable! (Agent Bedhead)

In things I’ve never realized before: ESPN analyist Jon Gruden has lunch-lady legs. (UglyFours)

Oh boy! Just in time for Christmas, here’s the story of how Barack Obama stole Christmas, despite the fact that he’s not even from the North Pole! I don’t care what political party you belong to; when you come to the point where you’re making allegorical stories about how your opponent stole Christmas, you have failed yourself as a politician. (AngryBlackLadyChronicles)

Some video game decided the best way to promote itself would be by having a video of Hulk Hogan and his daughter playing it, which means of course it would devolve into Hulk watching his daughter’s ass shake and whipping out his dick in front of her. I think I saw this on the Discovery Channel once… It’s called “presenting”. (popbytes)

Oh Zach Galifianakis… You may be overexposed as hell right now, but that’s okay, because holy shit do you ever consistently bring the funny. Marry me (for a green card). (Warming Glow)

Because TK knows exactly how to get a link on Pajiba Love (i.e. send in one about nerd proposals and include “COCK BALLS FART” in the body of the email), here’s comic book artist Leigh Gallagher’s incredibly adorable proposal to his wife. Oh, and by the way: She said yes! (LeighGallagher)

Oh look, scientists may have found the cure for the common cold. Seriously? This is the one that stumps you? One of the most common illnesses in the world stumps you? Goddammit, get back to working on cures for cancer and AIDS before I kick you in the balls. (Gamma Squad)

Ooooooo, look! Ryan Seacrest and Jennifer Lopez are already feuding over their salary, despite the fact that the new season of American Idol hasn’t even started yet! If you’ll excuse me, I have to go dig American Idol’s grave now. Anyone wanna help? (Celebslam)

Here’s an interesting piece on why even someone who hates Glee wants to keep the show on the air. He makes a good point, but I’d just like to add that if Glee were to go off the air, what kind of show do you think Fox would replace it with? Another hour of Seth McFarlane cartoons? (Kamikaze Feminist)

Awww, it’s so nice to see Kate Gosselin took the time to have a little bonding time with her kids during Halloween. By which I mean her bodyguard drove them around in a car while she screamed at them to shut up so that she could get some beauty sleep. (Celebitchy)

Warren Spector, the creator of Epic Mickey (which I am totally looking forward to), gave an interview about how exciting and different his game is, despite the fact that everything he pretty much talks about was already done in Kingdom Hearts. Seriously, he even ripped off the “all the enemies don’t have heart!” bit. (Topless Robot)

HA! Someone took the time to create comic book covers of what Marvel Comics would have looked like if they had the ridiculous, non-sequitur story lines of early DC comics. Oh fat Spider-Man, we still love you… (Buzzfeed)

Because you people need some musical goodness to start off your day (or afternoon, depending on when you read this) here’s Neko Case’ Some People Got A Lotta Nerve.

I am absolutely fine with Bond not having a lot of overly fancy gadgets. Sure, he can have a few, but when we get to shit like the invisible car, I draw the line.

THANK. GODTOPUS.

I just want one more Daniel Craig lead Bond. I'm not greedy. Just one. Finish the QUANTUM storyline in style, complete the trilogy, I'm perfectly happy for them to mothball it if necessary after that.

This news totally made my day.

And yes, I loved Quantum of Solace. The editing was spastic but that is one beautiful, room shaking movie.

Posted by: TylerDFC at November 5, 2010 12:35 PM

What if the next Bond, he loses access to all of his fucking resources and shit and has to go off the grid. He now has to do everything with household objects and his spy sense and skillsets. We could call it "Bond Notice."

Posted by: superking at November 5, 2010 12:38 PM

Reading futher, it sounds more like wishful thinking on MGM's part. But SONY has gone full retard if they don't partner on this. Casino and Quantum have made well over a billion all together.

I'm sure you know that the common cold (AKA the flu AKA the influenza virus) is a virus that's constantly mutating and changing. Basically a virus is a tiny bit of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. It's also why it's been so difficult to cure the HIV virus. The protein coat mutates faster than the antibodies in your bloodstream can recognize it.

So if this process works and they can cure the common cold, those Cambridge scientists will be getting paid in virgins and Hennessey.

I'll tell you next time why cancer's been so tough.

Wow!!! Neko Case is amazing. Her cover of Runnin Out of Fools is the shit. Im sure you've probably heard it but heres the link. Her voice gives me movement down there.

Tyler, wow...you're the first I've met who did.

I appreciated the attempt to revive the SPECTRE concept, but it just didn't work, and the whole thing came off like a warmed-over Jason Bourne movie with none of what makes a Bond flick a Bond flick. Like a villain who behaves like a proper villain, not a pissy Euro-CEO. I honestly had a hard time remembering *why* Bond was so upset with him.

Craig can stay, but the story arc needs to get a lot better, or go.

Fredo:

What is the conversion rate for Virgins and Hennessey to Daniel Craig and La Maison du Chocolat?

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 5, 2010 12:56 PM

no see in the third Bond movie they repeal don't ask don't tell and he wears those stupid booty shorts and pouts seductivily. As he prepares to enter the newlywed suite with LT Worf he opens the door to see Sean Connery and Roger Moore waiting for them and the hilarty ensues

Posted by: BigTodd at November 5, 2010 1:00 PM

BigTodd - That was odd. I can't tell if you're for it or against it.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 5, 2010 1:04 PM

sorry against I was never a fan of the new sensative bond, Bond to me has always been a hard drinking misogynist.

Posted by: BigTodd at November 5, 2010 1:10 PM

he wants to see daniel craig get gay with lieutenant worf from star trek

Posted by: superking at November 5, 2010 1:11 PM

What is the conversion rate for Virgins and Hennessey to Daniel Craig and La Maison du Chocolat?

You have to take the elements separate. Hennessey to La Maison du Chocolat? Probably a 1:1 or even a 2:1 conversion rate depending on your preference of tasty beverage.

Where it gets difficult is in the Virgins to Daniel Craig conversion? Here's where the investor can make a big increase on his or her investment. How much is Daniel Craig worth to you? A busload of (18-year old and legal ) high school virgins? A Heaven of 72 virgins from all over the world? All the virgins in Castle Anthrax who are experts in disrobing, bathing and demand spankings?

Conversely if you have a gaggle of virgins, how many are you willing to part with in order to get Daniel Craig? Would you buy outright for a large amount or just lease Daniel Craig at the rate of 2-3 virgins a month? Maybe even add an option to buy Craig once you've spent more than 80 virgins.

It's all in how badly you want Daniel Craig.

Eurgh - am I the only person here who finds a really worked-out body a little bit gross?

Posted by: Caspar at November 5, 2010 1:27 PM

actually superking I'm just extra bored and figured a comment like that would wind someone up and give me somthing to do, I'll try again later

Posted by: BigTodd at November 5, 2010 1:31 PM

Fredo, The common cold is caused by a rhinovirus, which is different from influenza. We have reasonably effective vaccines for influenza, but not for rhinovirus nor yet for AIDS. Cancer is not viral, but is itself a mutation by formerly healthy cells in reaction to various triggers, which is why there will never be a vaccine for cancer, but there may yet be a cure.

Posted by: Reba at November 5, 2010 1:33 PM

that's right reba if we all buy lotsa pink stuff and yellow wristbands we will conquer cancer!!!

Posted by: BigTodd at November 5, 2010 1:42 PM

A one-to-one Virgin to Craig correlation seems excessive on the virgin side. Clearly, I had not given this enough thought.

Here's my offer -

I lease Daniel Craig on a six month term at a cost of 3 virgins per month with 2 virgins down.

I buy Mike Rowe outright.

I trade bad, bad Zoot for naughty, naughty Colin Farrell (which I think both sides would admit is fair).

George Clooney tilts his head and smiles at me for one slatternly, but technically-virginal, cheerleader from a Big 10 school.

MacGyvond?

Posted by: BWeaves at November 5, 2010 2:12 PM

NO. BOND NOTICE.

Posted by: superking at November 5, 2010 2:31 PM

Eurgh - am I the only person here who finds a really worked-out body a little bit gross?

Oh, CASPAR. I thought we were FRIENDS.

(Actually, REALLY worked out bodies are kind of gross. But, I think DC up there doesn't yet fall into that category.)

(Mind you, my favorite is still pale and skinny.)

Posted by: Anna von Beav at November 5, 2010 2:31 PM

I agree with you Caspar. He looks better with less.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 5, 2010 2:37 PM

Mrs. Julien, you are quite the businesswoman. I'm in awe.

Pray tell, though, what is your bid on Rowe? I might make a counter-offer.

Posted by: MM at November 5, 2010 2:39 PM

So does that make so-called recycled virgins the Monopoly money in this world of trade?

Posted by: shanmarie at November 5, 2010 2:50 PM

Using the EVG* standard calculation, I determined Rowe is worth at least 5, but I started at 3.7 just to lowball them.

*European Virgin Gaggle**

**the calculation is European, the virgins' ethnicity is TBD

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 5, 2010 2:53 PM

Shanmarie - It makes them the need a penny take a penny cup.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 5, 2010 2:56 PM

Reba, don't try using your fancy edumacation on me! This is America where I can believe whatever I want!

Well, I'll be damned. I was going to post about how the comic book marriage proposal was so sweet that it made me weepy and how I can't cry because I'm sitting in a waiting room and how that was making my chest hurt but then I saw the Daniel Craig to Virgin exchange rate. And now I'm trying not to burst out guffawing.

Fredo is on fire today, isn't he?

Fredo is on fire today, isn't he?

Hehe. I'm just a happy camper cause I found almond crescent cookies at my local supermarket. And I'm all about almond crescents. And no, I will not share my box of almond crescents with anyone.

Posted by: Fredo at November 5, 2010 4:32 PM

While I do love the Daniel Craig Bond movies because he's not as much of a misogynist, I do find that above picture kind of gross. I'm not sure if it's because he's so built, or if it's because he's making that weird kissy face.

Posted by: Lindsay at November 5, 2010 5:16 PM

What about that crumbled almond crescent? Yeah, that one right there. Surely you don't want to ingest imperfection. You should probably just let me eat that one for you.

Posted by: stardust at November 5, 2010 5:52 PM

Which I guess means James Bond’s next gadgets are pretty much going to consist of rubber bands and paper clips.

*Prays that the budget is too small to afford to get any clothes for Daniel Craig*

And the video...um...well...the animation's pretty, I guess.

Posted by: figgy at November 5, 2010 6:27 PM

YES. MORE OF THAT. I was clicking that motherfucking photo so hard and fast...hard and fast...er, what? And by motherfucking I mean I'm a mother and I would like him to be fucking me. *sigh*

Posted by: pickled tink at November 5, 2010 6:29 PM

Anna von Beav, we are friends, surely! But there comes a time when it's necessary to make a stand against the muscle-cake fellows (that Chris Evans picture the other day made me feel distinctly queasy), and I hope we can all agree on the rightness of this stand. I give you Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Posted by: Caspar at November 5, 2010 9:11 PM

I'm liking this "super built/healthy guy's are gross" thing. It gives me hope.

Posted by: e at November 6, 2010 12:11 AM

neko case is the greatest.

Posted by: the Fatman at November 6, 2010 9:29 AM

If it's good enough for MacGyver, it's good enough for Bond.
