Mammaaaaaa!

I think enough years have gone by since Wayne's World killed this song for me that I can actually enjoy the updated version of this Queen classic by the Muppets:

Gear up for the weekend...

Maybe Firecracker George should submit his work for the sequel...

Considering how much backstory has been created and is currently in print, you'd think they would have already made a Warhammer 40,000 movie by now. Better late than never, I guess. From their official website:

Codex Pictures revealed today the director and screenwriter for the forthcoming Warhammer 40,000 movie ULTRAMARINES.

The director is Martyn Pick, whose credits include the 2009 film The Age of Stupid, on which he was animation director; London 2012, the promotional film commissioned by Film London and the London Development Agency which was premiered at the Beijing Olympics; the 2001 US Budweiser NBA commercial; and the celebrated BBC promotional trailers for the Euro 2004 soccer tournament. Martyn was chosen to direct Ultramarines for his renowned and highly distinctive ability to fuse live action and animation and the fluid, rich painterly style of his film-making.

The screenplay has been written by someone who needs no introduction to Warhammer 40,000 fans – best-selling author Dan Abnett. Dan has penned more than 25 books for Games Workshop’s Black Library, with total sales in excess of 1.2 million copies. He also works regularly for 2000 AD, Marvel Comics and DC Comics and has recently seen publication of the first of three novels for HarperCollins' new sci-fi, fantasy and horror imprint, Angry Robot.

ULTRAMARINES, a sci-fi thriller employing CGI and state-of-the-art production techniques, is being produced by Codex Pictures in association with Good Story Productions Ltd. The Canadian co-producer is POP6 Studios.

Don't know if you heard about this guy that crashed his $2 million Bugatti Veyron into a lagoon near Galveston. He initially claimed a low flying pelican distracted him. Unbeknownst to him, some admiring fans of the car were filming the whole thing:

If my wife gets a Snuggie, I'm getting one of these...

I posted about the Tauntaun sleeping bag awhile back, but who knew it could substitute for a Snuggie?

ThinkGeek has more uses for it on their website. I especially like the idea of the after lunch nap. I actually have a little ledge under my desk that would fit an alarm clock perfectly.

CAAAATFIIIIIIIGHT!!

Now this might make me more interested in women's soccer:
