These specials are made specifically for my two sons, (8 and 5) who live and breathe both Star Wars and Lego. They love mixing and matching the minifigs to create new characters. They've created their own pre-prequels with Sam Skywalker, the Jedi Master great-great grandfather of Anakin and all the characters…

My personal favorite is August's "Generic Statutory Holiday."

I'm probably going to this since I have young kids.

Having read that, I cannot love Eden Sher enough. I wish I had 1/10th of her energy. She is that rare combination of completely adorable and not at all annoying.

I saw it on Saturday, too, here in Toronto. It was the only reason I bought the entire season, and it was totally worth it. It was all I could do to keep from singing along with the cast, but I'd doubt my row-mates would take kindly to that.

I watched HANNIBAL last night here in Socialist Canada and it was a pretty darn good episode, but that show should go to cable and really let its freak flag fly. 

Whenever I see one of those full-time professional talking head "experts" on the news (and they pretty much all are professional experts, these days) this is the line that always comes to mind.

Benjamin Franklin only wrote one. Today, he could have pumped out two volumes on French Whores alone.

drinkingclub Predicts!

What of that "Chocolate Rain" dude? Should he be cursing the day his time came and went?

I saw this on an Air Canada flight (also could have watched that legendarily bizarre UPSIDE DOWN, but didn't take that crazy train) and I thought it was amazing. This is really a movie that requires a Spoiler Space, though: Not only because of the "twist" but because of certain  directorial choices that Polley makes.

Seriously, that dog costume scene is the only one in the movie I cannot watch. I've seen that movie tons of times, and admittedly it's not that gory, really, but I have to cover my eyes when that comes on the screen.  It's the way they stare at Wendy, and by extension, me.

Oh yes! And I have to include my favorite of the new shorts, "Drugs Are Like That."

Of all the quotes from MST, there is none I use more than, "…no better than 'Laserblast.'" (while sadly shaking my head).

I am all over their recent VOD titles: "Viva Knievel" and "The Apple." Actually, I love all of the VOD titles. It's like a more 70s-80s heavy  version of MST, but that "Viva Knievel" is goooooooold. I'm a sucker for all-star casts.

Oh man, the Star Wars redneck/teapartier/racist, was so friggin' funny and I'm not even a SW fan.

Here! But I was angrier last week because I wanted to debate the physics of flaying one's own back and hanging oneself by skin-wings.

In Canada, Conan airs after Colbert at midnight (I know, right?) on the Comedy Network. So, this begs the question, Where will Conan go and will anyone even notice?

Oh, it's just for animal husbandry uses and not for any Dr. Moreau-type plans.
