The Muppets vs Twilight

It's been forever, plus a day, but I'm back. Hopefully we'll start to see some cool geek-related stuff coming for the holidays, etc. so I'll be a bit more inspired to update here than the last few months.

As is the case with these awesome parody posters for the upcoming Muppets movie. In true Gen X fashion, I love me some nostalgia, and the Muppets were always among my favorites. I wasn't too into Fraggle Rock (I think I was too old when that aired) but I was a fan of Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas. Am I dating myself with these references? More than likely.

Anyway, the new Muppet movie (co-starring Jason Segal of How I Met Your Mother) comes out Thanksgiving weekend, right after the new Twilight: Breaking Dawn movie is released (this weekend, I think). So what better way to be relevant to the kids today than a parody of the Twilight saga?

Good Stuff on the Interwebs Today

I think I have about 12 browser windows open right now, with all kinds of awesome randomness from those series of tubes that are pretty much my life-blood at this point.

I just posted the Star Wars Valentines, but wait! there's more!

Over on Wil Wheaton's blog, he posted this link to a new Big Bang Theory t-shirt with a quote in Klingon from the episode he guested in as "Evil Wil Wheaton." You can read what Wil learned about comedy from that experience here.



Then, over on Laughing Squid there is a great Muppet video featuring Beaker (my favorite!!) covering "Dust in the Wind" a la You Tube style. I love the Muppets and will do a longer post about them sometime soon. Still threatening to buy all the DVDs of the old episodes because I am 5 and they still amuse me.



Next, just in time for Halloween (via Brian Lynch), there are some new "sexy(ish)" new Sesame Street costumes coming out this year. I'm not sure what to think about this, but I love that Costume Craze has a blog dedicated to costumes. Genius. I think I will be spending some time later today checking out the new Avatar, Clash of the Titans, and "sexy" Wolverine costumes. Because those titles alone intrigue me.

There is ton on the wire about the Google Buzz announcement yet, but I need to do more research on that before commenting.
