Rock, Paper, Scissors Championship!

Short update here! This Rock, Paper, Scissors Championship from 2007 is even better than you could possibly imagine. And I don't know, I can imagine a lot!



Sure it seems like something that would be played at 2 a.m. on ESPN 8 (the ocho) but that is a good deal of it's charm. No spoilers here, though I doubt you could recognize either of the players names. Anyway, enjoy!

Back to Back! Better than Ever!

What the hell happened? What year is it? I feel like time has been press ganged by some sort of run-away naval commander and I just get to sit and remember all the time I used to have before it got all muscly and covered in rude tattoos. "Too many years at sea," says time shaking its head. (Sorry folks that simile got away from me!) But luckily there is an answer! I think.

You heard it here first, all the dozens of people who find themselves on this page because they miss-clicked something! We are going to create a new and improved Jeremy Stuff webpage!


Huzzah!

How are we going to do that you may ask? Well, for one, I'm going to do more writing. Wait a sec, you may ask, haven't you been writing this blog all along? This thing better not be ghost written, you are probably saying, I'm scared of ghosts!



Fear not, those of you that are afraid of ghosts! I promise to keep the ghosts at a minimum (except for the one in the picture above and the ones that I can't help but let visit and tell spooky stories from time to time). But other than that no ghosts! Also I do my own writing, so all of the great ideas you have read here are my own. (Incidentally all of the spelling errors and mistakes were done by someone else who we had to fire. He no longer works here.)

Anyway, on top of sharing neat things I find on the internet, I am going to try to make this blog work for me, and you the reader, and anyone else that clicks here accidentally. And I'll also post at least once a week too.

But Jeremy, you are probably yelling at the screen, how on earth can you manage to do all of the things you listed somewhat incoherently? Well, my friends, I have a secret weapon. Ladies and gentlemen with a great deal of applause and fanfare, I'd like to introduce my favorite reason to go to work, the fairy god mother that can make all of your reasonable dreams come mostly true, the one (of two I have pieces for), the incomparable, the speaks with a really gravelly voice, GRENDA the fairy god-witch of mediocrity!




TA-DA!

How will she be able to do this? Who knows? But tune in next week to find out. Otherwise I'll just be sitting here, speaking to myself. Ciao!

Colin Mochrie's Favorite Star Wars Scenes

I've loved the TV show Whose Line Is It Anyway? for a long time. The regulars, Ryan Styles, Wayne Brady, and, of course, Colin Mochrie are each master classes in improv/sketch comedy. We all have our favorite moments of the show, and Colin is totally essential to a lot of my favorites.

And so, I give you Colin Mochrie playing with Star Wars action figures as we all did when we were young and still had imaginations. Just watch it, you won't be disappointed.

Two Hobbit films become Three . . .

Hey all,

I just learned from Peter Jackson that there will now be three Hobbit films. So that is happening. Here is the published note of Peter Jackson's Facebook page:


"It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made. Recently Fran, Phil and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie - and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life.  All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved ‘yes.'

"We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance.  The richness of the story of The Hobbit, as well as some of the related material in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, history of Middle-earth.

"So, without further ado and on behalf of New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Wingnut Films, and the entire cast and crew of “The Hobbit” films, I’d like to announce that two films will become three.

"It has been an unexpected journey indeed, and in the words of Professor Tolkien himself, "a tale that grew in the telling."

"Cheers,

"Peter J"


So to all of you who are excited about revisiting Middle Earth, huzzah! To all of you who are Tolkien purists who object to the movies anyway, be aware. I'm not exactly sure where I fall in regards to this announcement, but regardless, I will be dressed up for the release come December.

Cheers, indeed! Also here is the eighth production video:

Tons Announced at SDCC: But first CMF Series 8!

Well, Series 8 pictures have finally arrived! It appears as though this grouping will appear in black packaging, fitting for appearing in the fall eh? Though, in my own opinion, the set isn't as strong as a few of the last ones it is still a very cool line-up.



As usual there are a bunch that are instant favorites! The Pirate Captain can war with some of the past pirate captains for control of the High Seas. That Shakespeare (along with the Elizabethan ruff) will be great for filling out bits of history. The black-bowler-hatted businessman is straight from the Ministry of Silly-Walks. The Batboy can hang around! The Santa update is great! Lederhosen is hilarious!


Enjoy, these will be out this fall I believe.
