rob morrisongidget is on dvd?!?!?!?
| written by daroff on 02/29/08 | 7 comments |
look! chekov from star trek, on gidget!
somewhere between the flying nun and mrs. doubtfire, sally field was gidget. i don’t remember what gidget did, but she was in a bathing suit doing it. i remember watching this as a kid for some reason, and there was absolutely nothing special about it. it was baywatch, but with sally field. are there really so many people with a hankering for more gidget that there’s actually demand to start re-releasing the show on dvd? if i can find even one person interested in this, i’ll recant, but for now, i can only wonder why gidget gets a dvd release while great shows still sit in the vault. the world will never make sense again.

TGIF - boy meets world meets kissing topanga

gonna have some fun, show you how it’s done - TGIF!
today we’re going behind the scenes of boy meets world. apparently, things didn’t really ‘click’ on set until topanga entered the show. interesting how she was so quick to kiss him at age 13, but when they’re all grown up, she keeps holding out on him. that’s a classic sit-com maneuver. in real life, according to national statistics, they probably would have started doing it in that locker room. if mr. feeny caught them, he’d have had a heart attack and died. awesome.

strange internet: colin’s bear animation

the bear, the editing, the special sentiment to his professor at the end: colin’s final project for his animation class is an epic 15 seconds.

monopoly on the super nintendo - why?
| written by geoffrey on 02/28/08 | 1 comment |
the idea of nintendo monopoly really pisses me off.
i can understand kids who are too lazy to go outside and play real basketball, instead of charles barkley’s shut up and jam, because that was me. however, how much work does it take to play actual monopoly with a board (as in “board game”)? and isn’t it a thousand times more satisfying to have a card in your hand that says “ventnor avenue” than to dick around with an snes controller?
take all of 5 minutes to set-up the actual game and play it. i love my nintendo, but snes monopoly fails.

does hello kitty gun go too far? no
| written by daroff on 02/27/08 | 10 comments |
i saw this and my brain exploded. not from a self-afflicted gunshot wound, though, if i owned the hello kitty gun, i believe in the excitement, i would kill myself.
mind you, i simply do not get the hello kitty phenomenon. it’s a cat, who cares? but the fact that they put this innocent little girl’s accessory on a tool of death just blows my mind with awesomeness. coincidentally, i learned just today that little dakota fanning, in the midst of her lifelong quest to never have a childhood, allows herself one indulgence, and that’s hello kitty.
one can’t help but wonder in this situation: does dakota fanning own a hello kitty gun?

nintendo revisited: back to the future
| written by daroff on 02/26/08 | 3 comments |
here’s the big difference between me and the angry video game nerd. he apparently had lots of options. i only had ten games, so i played the shit out of them. i actually played this game enough to get past the annoying cafe level, once. for the next four street levels, i played so carefully just to make it to the school.
then i died.
in the school, marty has to avoid the onslaught of lorraine’s love. let me tell you, this is more annoying than hitting bullies with milkshakes. in case the internet hasn’t already made this abundantly clear DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME.
