DirectTV

I'm sure you all have seen the DirectTV commercial with Chris Farley and David Spade. It just makes me uncomfortable to watch because it feels like it's robbing the grave to use his image to sell products now. It's just inappropriate and it looks like I'm not the only one who thinks so. Here's a parody, from the guys that brought us Mad Men in 60 Seconds, that takes DirectTV's tactics just a couple steps further:

Horrible Turn

There are fans, and then there are Joss Whedon fans. My friend Brian wrote a great blog post about why he loves Joss, and it really sums it up quite nicely so you should read it HERE.

Well, this group of fans went the extra mile. Having no prior film experience, they created a prequel to Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog, called "Horrible Turn." It follows Dr. Horrible and The Hammer before they were archnemesises to find out just how their relationship and super-ness began. Watch it:



This is just part one, but if you enjoy it you can catch all ten parts on Popwatch's post about it.

Video Phone

This is "Video Phone" by Beyonce (featuring Lady Gaga), not to be confused with "Telephone" by Lady Gaga (featuring Beyonce). I like "Telephone" better, but "Video Phone" is pretty good, too. I love Lady Gaga, so much. In case you haven't figured it out yet.

In other news, she'll be at the local Best Buy here on Monday 7/23. If you buy Fame Monster or Heartbreaks there that day, you could get signed! OMG SO EXCITED!!!

UPDATE: You can listen to her WHOLE album through MTV.

Nine: The Movie Musical

not to be confused with 9, the post-apocalyptic animated movie.



The movie looks beautiful from the trailer alone! I'm not sure how I feel about Kate Hudson's voice, or how well Penelope Cruz can sing either, but it's got some great talent behind it.

V Humor

Two episodes in and I'm digging V. It's not the best, but it definitely has potential. Here are a couple cool V tidbits:
