The Great Cornholio

So, Beavis and Butthead pretty much ruled my TV for the better part of the 90s. Some people were Ren and Stimpy fans. Some couldn't get enough speed metal and butt humor...I guess I fall in that latter category. Anyway, B&B creator Matt Judge is now considering bringing my favorite anti-heroes to the big screen in a live-action film. I have two reactions. First: You're about 15 years late. And second: In this lobby, will there be TP?
Judge says of a live-action movie: “For some reason, I used to hate the idea for years. Now, I think maybe there’s something there.”
I'll admit, this movie could either be brilliant or tank. And talks for the two top leads don't confirm one way or the other. Names being tossed around are: Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) and Sean William Scott. They are definitely cut out to play Butthead and Beavis, respectively. But, they're also prone to making really, really, ridiculously bad movies.
What do you all think? Beavis and Butthead to the big screen again? Or has Hollywood gotten so stale that's it's now needing to rely on new-age 90s nostalgia? Or, who cares! Beavis and Butthead RULE! They rule!
Smooth Walrus

This is quite possibly the awesomest video I've seen on the internet in a long time. Check out this dancing walrus, who turns in a perfectly-timed routine to Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal."
Props to his trainers for not only getting him to mimic their moves, but to do it with polish and finesse. Now if only my students would behave as well as the walrus!
Beck's New Album

Caption: Beck rocks my world
It's been a while since I've felt excited about any of the new music coming out. Flipping around the radio stations has been a complete drag. I wonder: Is music that sucky, or am I just getting old?
Thankfully, Beck will help me eleviate growing pains with a new album, set to drop sometime in the next six weeks. Yes, he made his splash in the '90s, so I might be dating myself further by proclaiming my love for his work, but he remains completely current, reinventing himself alla Madonna with each new release (though keeping his quirky charm each time).
According to my sources (the always reliable Perez Hilton), the new Beck album was produced by Gnarls Barkley's Danger Mouse and features collaborations with a number of artists, including Cat Power.
For those of you who just went "Huh? Who?" Danger Mouse is the mastermind behind the Jay-Z "Black Album" and Beatles "White Album" mash-up known as the "Grey Album." It's the "Bomb Album" if you ask me.
Anyway, Beck is supposedly lining up some West Coast gigs in August. Any takers??

The situation is becoming desperate. The discussion whether or not the ongoing primary campaign is good or bad for Democrats is now obsolete. At this point, it's a matter of democracy as a whole. Obama still has the popular vote and the delegate vote in the bag. In fact, it would be virtually impossible for Hillary Clinton to win enough votes at this juncture to declare her the nominee. So why does she stay in the game? Because the superdelegates, many of whom are still undeclared, could potentially sway her way (especially now that she's won the last few primary elections). What does that mean? Our future president could be decided by a bunch of people who have the choice to vote however they please, no matter what the numbers tell them.
Hillary, I love your spunk and I applaud your effort. I think you have every right to fight for your dream (and for our dreams). But the jig is up. At this point, your fight is selfish, and potentially damaging to your party and to the country at whole. Further divisions in the Democratic party could not only put John McCain in office (the horror!), but also damage the entire democratic system. As if Americans weren't disenfranchised enough.
What do you guys think? Should Hillary stay in the game, or should she bow out now while Obama still has his dignity?
When Perez Met Stewy

Here's a super funny video of a future episode of "Family Guy," when my favorite celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton meets my favorite evil baby cartoon Stewy Griffin. Hilarity ensues.
Unfortunately, since the episode hasn't been released yet, I couldn't embed the video into the blog. So, you'll have to click this link to check it out. I've watched it about seven times myself!
