Billionaire drunk on own power, watched too many movies

With all the talk of violence in movies influencing people lately, has anyone stopped to think what else in movies influence morons? Because we’re learning first hand that the danger is bigger than we think. Especially if the moron is a crazy billionaire.

Australian billionaire Clive Palmer has declared his intention to clone dinosaurs like in Jurassic Park and set up his own dinosaur theme park located at his Palmer Resort in Coolum, Australia. Now, anyone with even a small amount of biotech knowledge knows that cloning dinosaurs is impossible, and Jurassic Park skipped and hopped around steps needed to successfully clone animals (very important steps!) in the interests of writing a dinothriller. But that doesn’t matter when you have billions of dollars to waste. Remember, according to morons, rich people are your betters!

Clive Palmer’s name might be familiar because he was recently in the news announcing he’s building Titanic II, a replica of the Titanic. Titanic II will be designed not to sink, but I think we’ve heard that before… There is no connection to the Asylum movie Titanic II, except to say that they’ve successfully predicted the future. I hope it’s the only time, because I don’t want to live in a future where the Transmorphers come…

I support any and all efforts that cause dumb rich people to waste all their money.

In non-wasting your money news, would you like to buy some Jurassic Park bugs? Well, too late, because they’ve all been sold from Erin Pearce’s Etsy store, but maybe if you jingle enough money you can get yourself a custom job!

You can get them to celebrate Jurassic Park 4 being fast-tracked into development! Sadly, it won’t be that awesome weaponized raptors script…

Cookie Monster – Share It Maybe


Confession: I’ve never heard the original “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen on the radio, but it’s played on the background on videos my wife watches, so I’m familiar enough with it when it went enormous I wasn’t completely lost. But ignoring all that, the Muppets are awesome, Sesame Street is awesome, Cookie Monster is awesome, and this video is awesome. So that’s a lot of awesome. Watch it, be awesome.

Watch Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck bomb France!


Here is some awesome WW2 Propaganda for you! Authentic Vichy France propaganda against the allies. You all remember Vichy France was basically a puppet state for the Nazis after France was defeated in 1940, existing from 1940-1944 under Marshal Philippe Pétain, correct? Good. So like any good state during the age of war, lots of propaganda was created. This clip above is from one of the cartoon shorts trying to convince everyone the Allies were bad because they are bombing France. The clip itself (with the translations) is taken from the 1993 documentary film The Eye of Vichy (L’Œil de Vichy) directed by Claude Chabrol. It is packed to the gills with propaganda produced by Nazi-occupied France. And don’t despair, the whole thing is on YouTube. I do not know the name of the original Vichy cartoon, though. Besides Mickey and Donald, Goofy, Felix the Cat, and Popeye participate in the air raid.

Beast Saga full prototypes

Here are the full pages of the prototypes of the Beast Saga toys, posted by lord on the LittleRubberGuys board and on his Dragonautes 2010 site. No one is certain what will be in the chest area, it may be a device similar to the Transformer Botshots toys, or it might be some sort of dice or shooting cube. Besides Lionga, you can see toys for Goldar (the Tiger) and the 3D model for the Alligator.

Movie popcorn expensive? Call the lawyers!

Some dude in Michigan has filed a class action lawsuit because he thinks he’s paying too much for theater food! I guess the concept of not buying the food never entered his mind. Or sneaking it in, which I proudly do all the time! This lawsuit will get tossed so fast, it will break land-speed records! It will be tossed so fast, the Flash will lose his name. Now excuse me while I go buy some gummy worms for tonight’s movie…
