this stop-action lego spider-man short film is fun. it echoes some of the scenes and settings in spider-man 2. i guess it’s in the spirit of projects like the bmw films and the american express seinfeld/superman shorts. lego mary jane doesn’t have anything on kirsten dunst, though. (via hit & run.)
hit me!
celebrity blackjack happened to catch my eye today while i was playing with blackjackinfo.com’s blackjack strategy trainer. i’m sorry, but blackjack is not a table game well-suited for competitive play. the show comes off as a low-rent knock-off of celebrity poker showdown.
but i was surprised that celebrity blackjack had some actual celebrities: snoop dogg, shannon elizabeth, jason alexander, camryn manheim, and kevin nealon. not quite the kato kaelin-grade “celebrities” i was expecting.
2 + 2 = 3
anchorman: the legend of ron burgundy is, unfortunately, less than the sum of its parts. i think if you actually removed steve carell from the movie, it would have caved in upon itself.
it’s definitely a wait-for-hbo sort of movie, if you haven’t already seen it. i think i’ve learned my lesson to leave the theater for the best-seen-on-a-big-screen movies like spider-man 2. some upcoming movies that i think fit that bill are i, robot (yes, not much based on the book — get over it) and the bourne supremacy.
