I like the Dr. Seuss one because it actually sounds like Dr. Seuss, unlike every other Dr. Seuss pastiche I've ever seen. People get too hung up on the rhyming and neglect the rhythm.

The fact that this is going to be featuring Andy from Parks and Rec and Kirk from Gilmore Girls is making this my favorite Marvel movie.
And here I was reading that article about American jobs being taken by computers and chuckling. "I work with dogs," I said. "My job is safe," I said...
I always forget that that newer version of The Twilight Zone exists. Unless "Cradle of Darkness" is a classic TZ episode whose twist is that Katherine Heigl is actually a time traveler in real life.
I suppose we'd still call it the Moon. It'd be like Stonehenge, which isn't technically a henge even though the word "henge" comes from the name Stonehenge!
The important thing about this article is that it reminded me that Zoobooks exist. Man, Zoobooks were the shit in elementary school.

A Potato Head Eleventh Doctor? Okay, I have to admit that that's pretty abnosome.
Vin Diesel is diving back into science fiction movies with a vengeance — with a strange new feature called Soldiers of the Sun.Which is apparently about Orcs that live in Earth, in the future. Ooook.
