Watch out, IMAX may not be IMAX

When you hear IMAX what do you think? I imagine a screen so big that I can only focus on Captain Kirk's left eyeball and I wind up missing the rest of the movie. Unfortunately, IMAX is now whoring out their name to regular sized screens too. Isn't an IMAX movie on a small screen just called a movie? Well, Aziz Ansari uncovered the whole scandal and isn't taking it lightly. Link.

You're welcome, environment

Last week I was talking about my dependency on water bottles. I'm too lazy buy a re-usable bottle, so I grab a new Poland Spring bottle each day, re-fill it every few hours and then send it off to the giant water bottle landfill somewhere in New Jersey. Well, the response from the WRRV listeners was pretty crazy. People think I'm "killing the children" and "an ego centric non celebrity who needs to set an example to give (my) life some sort of meaning". Add all of that to the constant looks of disgust from Brandi each time I take a sip of water and it still wasn't enough to ween me off of my Poland Spring... until now.

My neighbor, who no doubt cries each week while watching me haul a huge recycle bin of water bottles out to the curb, came over to the house yesterday with a gift:


Presenting my new water bottle! It's dishwasher safe so I don't have to scrub it out each night and has a nice flip top so I can keep it in the studio without having to worry about knocking it over and electrocuting myself. I'll keep you posted on how it works out... in the meantime, stop sending me emails and go throw blood on the Olsen twins or something.

Farewell fanny pack, hello Cap-sac!

Too cool to wear a fanny pack? Well let me introduce you to the Cap-sac!

Order one now, before heading out to Bonnaroo! This will surely be the accessory of the summer.

2 gross celebrities and one almost nipple

I'm not big on celebrity news, but while preparing for the show each morning I need to peruse the celeb sites in search of the next Christian Bale meltdown. This morning I came across 3 strange and wonderful photos that I thought you'd be interested in. Note: these are ACTUAL pictures, and are not photoshopped in any way.

#1 - Remember Natalie Maines? She's the angry one from the Dixie Chicks who is always yelling at people on TV. Well, apparently she is angry because of all of that testosterone flowing around in her body. Yep, she's now a dude:


#2 - Kelly Clarkson is slowly morphing into Meatloaf. Or she's eating way too much Meatloaf... Something to do with Meatloaf, for sure:


#3 - Is that almost Natalie Portman's nipple? Just thinking out loud... sorry.

Land Of The Lost trailer

I used to love Land Of The Lost. I would sit through stupid episodes of The Bugaloos and Sigmund The Sea Monster in hopes that LOTL would eventually come on next. To this day, I still have horrible nightmares about Sleestacks. I'm sure this movie is nothing like the show (and that's probably a good thing) but Will Ferrell + The dude from Eastbound and Down / CGI Dinosaurs + Sleestacks = a movie I will actually go see this summer.


Best SNL in quite a while

I hate to admit it, but Justin Timberlake is one freakin' great SNL host. I don't know if it's because he's funny, or just because he's one of the only hosts that actually takes the time to MEMORIZE his lines instead of staring at the cue cards all night long. If you missed the show the highlights were: JT admitted to "hitting that" with Britney Spears, another great Governor Patterson skit and this follow up to D*** In A Box"


Hope you had a great Mother's Day!
