Mark Wahlberg gets fussy with SNL, bonds with foliage
A few weeks back, Saturday Night Live absolutely nailed Mark Whalberg’s persona in a comedy sketch called “Mark Whalberg Talks to Animals.” The video is below — but the real Mr. Wahlberg didn’t take too kindly to the riff. (RSS readers can find the video here.)
According to Hollyscoop, Wahlberg had this to say about the [...]
British bread commercial rocks, warms our hearts
Americans probably haven’t heard of Hovis Bakery, a mainstream UK-based company that’s been making bread for Brits for more than a century. But you’ll likely be craving a loaf after watching this epic commercial.
The 122-second-long ad (one second for each year Hovis Bakery has been in business) is awesome. It brilliantly chronicles the history of [...]
TV is soooo last year
Abandon your visions of a future filled with ray guns and space ships — the future is already here, and we can prove it.
See, we broke up with our TV sets months ago thanks to Hulu.com, and it looks like NBC has noticed. Five of the network’s shows (Knight Rider, 30 Rock, Lipstick Jungle, Life, [...]

New Prius car powered by Energon Cubes
While Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen continues its filming (yes, we know Shia’s recent accident has delayed shooting), we’re all stuck jonsing for more ultra-cool transforming vehicular goodness. Thank heavens for Toyota’s new Prius commercial.
Now only if some clever YouTuber can create a mashup by rotoscoping in some laser fire, swooshing Autobot and Decepticon [...]

Stan Lee to create Paris Hilton animated superhero show
We’re not going to bag (much) on Paris Hilton — a trillion other blogs are doing that already, and do it with such venom that we’d be out of our league if we tried. But our eyebrows shot to the ceiling and our jaws did a Tex Avery unhinging of disbelief when we learned that [...]

“Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood” to be axed; YOU can help save it
The very neighborly Fred Rogers gave children nearly 1,000 episodes of his Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood from the late sixties until his death in 2003. While younger MINE readers may not understand the significance of his show, the twenty- and thirtysomething crowd will surely recall the PBS show, and the whimsical, heartfelt lessons Mr. Rogers gave [...]

Game footage: “Macross: Ace Frontier” for PSP
The folks at Kotaku found this Japanese trailer for the new PSP game Macross: Ace Frontier, and being the U.N. Spacy cases that we are, we’re glad they did.
Combine our love for house-sized transforming robots with the nostalgia of growing up with the Macross cartoon series — and not to mention tracer fire, laser cannons [...]
“Buffy” animated short now online
This MINER remembers interviewing Hollywood and comics writer Jeph Loeb waaay back in 2001 about the debut of a little-known show called Smallville — and while chatting, Loeb mentioned that he was chipping away at a very cool project: a Buffy: The Vampire Slayer animated series.
Back then, the cartoon was planned to debut on the [...]
Cool new show: “The Middleman”
The world loves an underdog, and what’s more underdog than a low-budget superhero-like, hour-long comedy on ABC Family? A concept that was first intended to be a TV show (but then downgraded to a comic book), The Middleman has returned to its original medium on an unlikely family-friendly channel.
While Our Hero™ is the Middleman — [...]
BSG spinoff “Caprica” trailer now online
We love Battlestar Galactica. Any show that can take a cheesy ’70s Star Wars rip off and turn it into the best show on television is cool with us. (Hey, Time and Rolling Stone said it first, and they’re not even that nerdy.) Hot actors, space ships, evil robots called Cylons that look like people [...]

OUR APPRAISAL: “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”
We recently reported on how Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon used down-time during last year’s writers strike as an opportunity to concoct Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, a mock video blog about a second-rate super villain attempting to gain control of the world.
(He’s also trying to woo a pretty lady at the laundromat. Life [...]

Become A Myxer Friend!
Very cool. Now I know what influenced Katey Segal's bad ass biker mom style. 
Excuse me if I do not get a gushy about a game that celebrates killing more brown folks. 
That was pretty cool. I even retraced several times going back and forth from one picture to the other and ...
As a quick followup--that's why he forbids diagonals as a clear instruction. If we could use the diagonals, we ...
