What, a raw frog?

A recipe for the infamous Crunchy Frog. No frogs were killed in the making of this recipe

We use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.

Alien Resurrection?

Fox have officially announced that Ridley Scott has officially signed on to direct the new ‘Alien’ prequel. He certainly did a great job on the original but can he match his previous triumph? Given the number of projects he has in gestation (heh) maybe any celebration is premature…

Q: How many dicks would I suck to get James Cameron and HR Giger involved with individual levels of creative control almost equal to but slightly lower than Scott’s and a $700 million budget?

A: A whole lot!  (No, I’m not gay)

Ridley Scott has made exactly two good movies in his life. Two. Those two were very good, but he’s made so many shit movies since those two [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ] that I find it increasingly difficult to comprehend why anyone views him with such a hushed awe. He’s even got a brother making shit movies too. [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ]

Of course this new movie, which I’m sure Ridley is thinking of taking solely because he’s embarrassed by the whole Alien v. Predator bullshit that’s been going down, will be horrendously bad; Ridley Scott is a director of mass-marketed schlock. Two great films in the ’80s can’t change that any more than four or five great albums in the ’80s can change the fact that REM is a shite band and has been for twenty years.

Microsoft! now! provides! Yahoo! search!

bgtsyhoMicrosoft’s Bing now provide Yahoo! seach. Yahoo, a 1994 internet pioneer of search, has now agreed to stop researching search tech and start using Bing. Some say it’s a small deal, a Google deal rerun, and one says it’s a tar pit. As pointed out, nobody yet knows if Yahoo can choose another provider if it all goes wrong.

Blue Rats.

Scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center have been testing the possibility that a blue food dye found in Gatorade and blue M&Ms could assist in healing spinal cord injuries, and … oh who cares …. OMG blue rats U gotta look!

Most parents, whether we listened to them or not, taught us not to play with fire, explosives, zombies and such… But they never warned us about mentos and coke. Click on “Continue Reading” for the video.

‘Heroes’ season four trailer: ‘Redemption’

http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/6555681001?isVid=1&publisherID=769341148

Here’s your first look at “Heroes” season four. This three-minute-plus trailer is slightly different than the version that screened at the “Heroes” Comic-Con panel on Saturday. The preview has scenes from the premiere and the next couple additional episodes. A character or two looks like they’re getting killed, so I’m tempted to shout “spoiler,” but, hey, it’s “Heroes,” right?

You’ll also see scenes of the dark carnival that’s gathering up heroes for some nefarious purpose and um … hmm … what else? Oh, yes: You meet Hayden Panettiere’s new lesbian love interest that producers doubtless hope will boost ratings. NBC cut their kiss that was in the Comic-Con edition of this trailer, guess they didn’t want to just give that away online. Snog the cheerleader, save the show?
