Today, I love Lil Wayne. A lot. This is why. (500DaysofWeezy)
The UK is scrapping the UK Film Council. Fuck ‘em. Stop the motherfuckers. This is why. (The Playlist)
Documentary filmmaker Amir Bar-Lev is directing a biopic about Jerry Garcia, focusing on Garcia’s early life before he joined The Grateful Dead, i.e., before anyone cared. (The Wrap)
Michael Bay is producing a low-budget film about an alien abduction. Man, I don’t care. And what’s low-budget for Michael Bay? $90 million. What’s he trying to do? Rip off District 9? Get your own concept, jackass. (THR)
So, I’m actually kind of sick of The Old Spice guy now. I didn’t realize that a commercial spokesperson could create a backlash, but here it comes. And just in time: He’s been cast in Horrible Bosses. (Cinemablend)
Warning: Unnecessarily inflammatory remarks made about a national treasure ahead: Bob Barker — that bitch — is dissing on Drew Carey’s hosting abilities on “The Price is Right.” “I tried to make the show really exciting, and he doesn’t do that,” he said. “He just plays the games.” God, what a petty, petty man. No wonder his girlfriend sued him. (Movieline)
Prisco made reference to this the other day in his write-up of “The Guild” panel, and he’s right. It is spectacular.
Steve Carell is attached to produce and star in Raised by Wolfs, an original comedy pitch from Les Firestein. There are no details, but that’s OK. Carell is attached to more projects than he can possibly make, so this will probably be the last we ever hear of this one. (THR)
I wouldn’t recommend that anyone trying to quit smoking watch this. It’s every single cigarette ever smoked on “Mad Men.” Surprisingly, it’s less than two-and-a-half minutes long. (WarmingGlow)
Consider my berries razzed, you stinky little dick licker.

Just when I thought youtube videos of the 70s Dutch prog band Earth & Fire were gonna have to make my day, Weezy comes through with the win.
Thanks, Dustin. This is The Shit that shit wishes it could be. This is the Platonic ideal of The Shit. Everything else was just shadows on the wall.

Funny, because Sharlto Copley was actually supposed to star in that Michael Bay movie. Glad he isn't anymore, he can do better.
That Mad Men video was fabulous.

Congratulations, Rowles. You may have just single-handedly convinced me on Lil' Wayne with that link. No small feat, believe me; countless others have tried. But dammit, that link is amazing.
Serously? Felicia on Eureka? That's awesome! There's more sexy in that video than all Megan Fox clips ever filmed.
OK, so with this audience that's a big "Duh", but still.

I think I'm the only person on Earth who thinks The Guild is where funny goes to die. I just don't get the appeal, no matter how cute Felicia Day is, no matter how many refferences I get, it's just not funny...

Irina - If you've never played an MMO, I can see where most of the humor would fall flat for you.
Game nerds, however, find it quite funneh.

I played WoW for 4 years so I get the refferences I just don't think it's funny.
Oh, that Lil' Wayne... That was awesome; great find, Dustin.
I saw that Mad Men video a few days ago. Didn't affect me at all. 12 days and counting!
