25 Actors Before They Were Famous

Wow. I guess you don't have a future ahead of you unless you star in shitty movies.

Oh, wait...Nevermind. You still need to have actual good films follow the shitty ones.

Behind the Scenes of Archer

Alright, this one's an oldie but a goodie. Amber Nash, the voice of Pam from Archer, takes you on a bit of a back lot tour of how FX makes the show. For one thing its just cool to see what Pam looks like in real life (not the manatee I expected). And it's cool to watch her shove biscuits in her mouth in an attempt to say 'bearclaw' in just the right way.

Interestingly enough, the third season of Archer is taking a very strange route when it premieres. Apparently, FX is going to show three new episodes in September and wait until January to show the rest. Are they trying to remind us to care about the show come Spring? I doubt any true fans need the notice but the early episodes will certainly be appreciated.

Desktop of the Week

As per the usual weekend trend, a new wallpaper has arrived. This is 70 lightning bolts caught in one picture. Well, long exposure was used to make them all in one picture but you get the idea. Still a pretty cool picture.

Why I'm Losing Faith in AMC

AMC has fired Frank Darabont from Walking Dead for wanting to make the show better. Darabont was fighting over budget cuts to keep the show authentic and BAM: he's now gone. Pretty shoddy work on AMC's part as now a ton of people are pissed. Full article through the link

Politics?

Usually, we try to steer clear of anything political on this site and stick to info that's actually interesting. This, however, is a fair exception. Besides, the Anchorman reference is enough to count at pop culture anyway. I love that CNN can always be counted on as the confused station trying to keep up. Except Anderson Cooper. He knows his shit.

Brad Pitt on Board for World War Z

There isn't one zombie fan who hasn't heard of Max Brooks. He is the creator of the great Zombie Survival Guide. In addition to this (as well being Mel Brooks' son), he also wrote the awesome novel, World War Z. Thanks to today's world of Shawn of the Dead and Zombieland, we will now be getting a film adaptation of the book. Don't expect WWZ to be funny though; this book is written as if there truly was a zombie apocalypse and a journalist is interviewing the survivors. Definitely a serious tone.

So serious that Brad Pitt has joined the cast! Granted, he will only be the journalist but you know he would be quite the qualified zombie hunter. We've come a long way from B-movies of the past when such A-list actors want to kick in some undead skulls (interesting, according to blogger.com "undead" is not a word). I now have confidence in the future of film.

Yup. He's owed some zombie scalps...And he wants his scalps.

Oh, Google, You so Silly

I was checking how many days are in August when this suggestion showed up. Seriously, people? Why would you need to know how many deathly hallows there are? The movie/books pretty much spell it out for you. Answer: Three
