Several months ago, I saw the trailer for “The Fall” and I was instantly smitten. When I showed it to L she was hooked as well and insisted we catch this film when it came out in the theaters.

After watching it last night on DVD I wish we had made good on that promise. My tiny computer monitor barely did justice to the breathtaking scenery in the film. Deserts of deep orange, a city of blue, lush green valleys, a palace made of blood red stone; Each location in Roy and Alexandria’s story seems more beautiful than the next. The scenery completely blew me away and I could only imagine how amazing it would have been to watch it on a huge theater screen.

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is old news in the blogosphere, but I am still gushing over it. I am planning on buying the DVD when it comes out and am currently debating between a Horrible or a Hammer fan shirt.

Here’s a clip of my favourite song from the show: “Perfect Story (So They Say)”. If you haven’t seen the full Dr. Horrible series then most of what’s going on in the clip won’t make sense, but more importantly why haven’t you watch it yet?! Go doooo eeeeit now!

I am also tempted to dress up as Dr. Horrible for Halloween! Better stand back or you might catch my rabid fanboy-isim!

And now it can get stuck in your head this morning as well! Mana mana!

L pointed out this Torontoist article about Shad and his reenactment of the opening credits for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air . Being a fan of the show this music video really tugs on all the right strings, making it an instant favourite for me.

As an added bonus, I am completely digging Shad’s other stuff on his MySpace Page. Great for listening to while you’re toiling away at your desk at work.

You have seen him before as a dirty, rotten, no good tough as nails Bounty Hunter. Now see him in a completely different light.

He’s a maniac, maniac on the floor!

The publishers of the game, EA Sports fired back with the following video response:

Just another example of how some games are becoming more and more realistic.

Hello.

You may have wondered why there hasn’t been much activity here this past month; Sorry about that. I forgot to leave a note here telling the Blogsosphere that I’ll be on vacation for the next few weeks. I also forgot to set my “Out of Office” auto reply on at work but that is another 1000 item inbox story to tell.

But I’m back now and ready to get back into the swing of that blogging thing … only something has changed. After going a month and a bit without blogging I’ve found myself lacking the motivation to get back into it again. No that isn’t correct: I have lost the motivation to get back to writing this blog.

I have been back from vacation for two weeks now and every time I sit down to try and think of a blog post my mind wanders. It is not from the lack of topics to post because my vacation alone is worth at least a week worth of posts if not more. I just … well I don’t know. Maybe I just got used to living a blog free life. Returning to the familiar “grind” of a daily blog I’ve been updating for several years is just unattractive right now.

Do I dare play the dreaded “blogger hiatus” card? Not likely, If I do that I will probably end up posting up some amusing YouTube video come tomorrow afternoon. Instead I think I will start exploring some ideas I have had in the works around topical blogs. I am also interested in exploring other self-web publishing mediums like Twitter or Square Space.

In the mean time I hope you do not mind waiting a little longer for this silly blogger of a boy.

I am very impressed with the way the Good Samaritan in this video handled this Bully. I would love to think I would have the mind to do the same thing in the given situation. It is hard to say, but I could already feel my blood start to boil a bit just watching the clip so I’m not quite sure.

A list of ten Hip-Hop videos recreated in The Sims. It is amazing how close they can get to the actual videos given the relatively limitations behind The Sims game engine.

Although I am impressed that I actually know 6 out of the 10 songs listed. Looks like I’m not completely out of the music loop after all.

Day D is a Russian remake of the Schwarzenegger classic: Commando.

How odd is it that there is such a thing as a Schwarzenegger classic? Crazy!
