Mashup of the Day: Batman vs. The Scream
Captain Bryan Sparrow circa 2009
Representation of what I might look like today if I had continued to pursue making a living in blogging.
Creative activity of the Day:
This Friday night, I want to ride along with a policeman. (I expect it will be the king of all eye-opening experiences.)
Street Fighter II vs. PORTAL Mashup of the Day
Street Fighter II With A Portal Gun
The only easier combination of games would be a game with no guns in it, with guns.

This will be art! And it will be loud and raunchy and careless and insensitive just like Romeo & Juliet and Moulin Rouge. Not going.
Movie Trailer of the Day: Flashy first trailer for Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann’s movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, starring Tobey Maguire as narrator Nick Carraway, Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, and Leonardo DiCaprio as the titular Gatsby.
Here’s the official synopsis:
The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings.
Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.
The Great Gatsby opens in 3D on December 25th.

For years, this song recording made absolutely no sense to me. Only when my grandpa was preparing to pass away did I see one possible message behind the music and words. It came when I witnessed my grandma’s reaction of wanting to hold onto him. This is what I felt:
Like the passing of a day or season, our spirits pass just as naturally from one state into the next. This hymn is a call to those who survive a loved one to have peace regarding this transition and to have faith in their inevitable reunion.
Look, people out there still using IE6 and saying “It’s good enough for me!” every morning… YOU are the people holding us back. Without you, the Internet could already be doing AMAZINGthings. But you’ve got to dig in your heels, pretend it’s 2002, and say “You guys best build me the best Angelfire page you can!”

Now scouring internet for PIXELATED swimming trunks.
Wait…on second thought, maybe that isn’t the wisest internet search.
Three questions to determine your love language:
Everyone likes The Dark Knight. Everyone but Aaron Eckhart. Dude what happens to that guy after he turns into Two-Face? Was that some sort of performance piece? He spends the last half hour of that movie acting like he’s auditioning to play a bad guy in one of those CBS crime dramas no one I know watches but always dominates the ratings. He’s like the Hayden Christensen of the Star Wars prequels. If Jar Jar Binks wasn’t already the Hayden Christensen of the Star Wars prequels.
