  • Depp Blue Sea

    After seeing the trailer for the new Alice in Wonderland movie, I finally came to the conclusion that Johnny Depp has joined the likes of Samuel L Jackson in being able to do whatever the hell he wants in his career. Want to play a vengeful barber in a musical slasher flick? Sure! Want to play Willy Wonka and lure little children into your diabetes shack? Absolutely! Want to be a 1930s bank robber with a submachine gun and awesome hat? Why not! I'm looking forward to seeing just what he plays next. My guess: a rock guitar-playing Norse god whose girlfriend is held by vengeful Egyptian gods. It will be epic, but not as epic as when he plays the lead in Snakes on a Plane 2: Fright of the Concorde.

    Okay, I suppose this post sounds rather fruity, even by my standards, so here's a sexist comic strip to smooth things out.

  • Folding@home

    I originally intended for this to be a video entry, but after some thought and realizing how much extra work that would be for me, I decided to stick with writing and just post what I scripted out. Use your imagination.
