Ever since The Mummy (the 1999 version) was a hit Hollywood has made numerous ill-advised classic monster remakes. Stephen Sommers, who did a great job on the first mummy movie, has made several of the worst ones -- "Van Helsing" leaps to mind as a complete disappointment.

Looking forward to this new movie from Ricky Gervais. If you've never listened to any of the Ricky Gervais podcasts/audiobooks, I'd highly recommended you buy all of them right now.

John Hodgman was the headliner at the 2009 Radio & TV Correspondents' Dinner and reviewed the President's nerd credentials. A very different tone than Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondents Association dinner, but really funny anyway.
Here's a cool long-form drum jam by Neil Peart (Rush), Terry Bozzio (Zappa, UK, Bozzio, Levin, Stevens) and Joey Heredia (Stevie Wonder, Herb Alpert). This was filmed during a warm up session for a master class Neil was putting together. I love it when some of the greats collaborate!

Arrested Development and The Simpsons are two of my all-time favorite shows so I love this artistic mashup of the two. I think the blue Tobias and the inclusion of GOB's ventriloquist dummy Franklin is especially great.
There's also a version with the Bluths as Peanuts characters.

Well, it was only a matter of time. They finally come to visit, and end up getting cooked on a hot brick. Wonder if they taste like chicken?
