How do you make 3 Koreans invisible? Put a bad ass show-stealing drummer with a Moe haircut to rip it up!

Well what do you know? I submitted a comic to the World of Warcraft Comic Contest and actually won! You can check it out here: World of Warcraft.com

Who’s bad?

One of my favorite video games of all time is the inspiration for this Pontiac ad. This ad rocks!

The 80th Annual Academy Awards were on last night. The show was pretty cool. John Stewart hosted for the second time and he totally rocked it. It kind of sucked for me and my wife this year because we haven’t seen any of the big movies nominated. I’ve been wanting to watch No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood since they came out, but just haven’t been able to. Now I really want to watch them.

I think Transformers got shafted! It didn’t win for special effects or any of the sound awards. Sound Mixing and Sound Editing went to the Bourne Ultimatum. WTF? Transformers had some of the coolest sounds I’ve ever heard in a movie and it got zilch. I can’t really diss the Bourne Ultimatum because I haven’t seen it, but it’s basically the same as the previous ones it seems. There was nothing out this year like Transformers.

And the Golden Compass beat out Transformers for Best Visual Effects? That damn polar bear looks like crap. On it’s own, I’m sure it may be impressive, but put side-by-side with the Transformers it doesn’t even come close.

I know that Transformers was a total popcorn flick and had it’s cringe moments, but the only thing that movie did excel beyond all others was effects and sound. It’s sad that the academy didn’t see or hear it that way.

Congrats to Brad Bird and the folks over at Pixar for Best Animated Feature Film. Ratatouille really had no competition. Surf’s Up? Give me a break.

Best Makeup went to La Vie En Rose. What? Ever heard of it? Know anyone who’s heard of it? Know anyone who’s actually seen it? Me neither. Which leads me to Norbit. Ahh Norbit. Norbit, Norbit, Norbit. Makeup by Rick Baker. He’s the man. An American Werewolf in London anyone? Yeah, he’s got his Oscar already. Losing this one probably isn’t going to make him lose any sleep.

I kind of would have liked for Norbit to win Makeup just for the years and years of laughs. Imagine the other nominees faces: “And the winner is…Norbit!” WTF!? Man, that would have been hilarious.
