Breaking Out the TV Baby

It's a hard life for us TV fans. Deciding what to watch, when to watch, and who to watch it with. Sometime it's just too daunting to dive into a massive series - it's a HUGE commitment, and you gotta find the right time. If you know what I'm talking about, then this funny, well-acted sketch from College Humor, which smartly uses Breaking Bad as an example, will play like the gospel for you:

Meanwhile, because the Internet is great here's a cat dressed as Walter White:

Oh, also: Breaking Bad - Season 4 has just been confirmed for release on DVD and Blu-ray on 3rd April!

DVD Commentary: The Movie

This clever College Humor send-up of DVD commentaries just made me wonder how many people actually spend their time listening to audio commentaries anymore? (or sift through extra features for that matter?) Speaking for myself, it's been a long, long, LONG time since I've been tempted to re-watch a movie with the director/cast audio commentary on. Back in the early years of DVD, it was definitely a pretty cool novelty - all these little bonus features which you could check out to "enrich" your viewing experience of a particular film. Now, meh, not so much. I'd rather spend those two hours watching another film I haven't seen before... life's too short!

By the way, AV Club do a great column called Commentary Tracks of the Damned which spotlights cringey audio commentaries of shoddy movies - worth a read to see how NOT to do an audio commentary. Anyway without further ado, here's DVD Commentary: The Movie:

Luxo Goes Nutso

This is a darkly funny parody of Pixar's logo intro from CollegeHumor where Luxo the Lamp goes homicidal. Don't think we'll be seeing this one gracing the start of any Pixar film anytime soon...
