hail to the pretend chief: top 10 fictional presidents
| written by daroff on 07/21/08 | 1 comment |
we’ve all sat back and mused about our favorite fictional characters becoming president. what if jack bauer was president, wouldn’t he kick so much ass? or what if those meat heads from predator got into politics? these are characters from all walks of fiction that took on the office with strength of character or sheer strength of fist. this is fiction’s executive branch of awesome, the 10 most kickass presidents of all pretend time.
#10 - president jack ryan (debt of honor, executive orders, the bear and the dragon)
tom clancy made a career out of turning analyst jack ryan into the world’s biggest bad ass. somehow, having taken down the russians, the i.r.a., and the drug cartels, clancy had nothing left to do but make jack president. remember how bad ass harrison ford was in patriot games and clear and present danger or how much smarter than everyone else alec baldwin was in the hunt for red october. had it not been for the affleck connection, jack ryan could have been number 1.
#9 - president charles logan (24, season 5)
one of the most exciting moments i have ever had watching tv was in season 5 of 24 when it’s revealed that the president, this bumbly, mumbly lump of a man, was behind the terrorist attacks. he wasn’t your average supervillain, though. he didn’t have some master plan. it was like he was playing bad guy just like he was playing being president. that just made him even more bad ass.

“meego”: don’t mind-rape girls with time-stopping watches
| written by geoffrey on 07/15/08 | 1 comment |
in 1997, bronson pinchot (perfect strangers) went from foreigner alien to outer space alien in the retarded, (mercifully) short-lived series meego. the good news is that the show taught us one important lesson, as demonstrated in the following clips:
meego’s watch helps a loser kid score with a hot girl.
the kid realizes he shouldn’t mind-rape girls with meego’s watch.
it’s important to be liked for the right reasons, and apparently being liked because you hypnotized a girl with alien technology isn’t one of them. meego, we respectfully disagree.
the theme song after the jump…

10 greatest star wars sounds
| written by geoffrey on 07/07/08 | 3 comments |
a new star wars movie is coming soon (no, really), so here’s a nice retrospective of star wars sounds over all six films. i don’t know why r2-d2 is in the middle of the list, instead of the top, but their #1 choice is right on (and pretty obvious).

strange internet: star trek slash fiction mashup
| written by geoffrey on 06/17/08 | leave a comment |
in this animated music video for william shatner’s cover of pulp’s “common people,” (utilizing footage from the old star trek cartoon) it definitely appears there’s something going on between shatner and spock. will they boldly go where no man lots of men have gone before?
