GI Joe Cast, X-Files Plot, Winslow, Elevators and Tom Lehrer

Cast of GI Joe In Costume - A bunch of images of the main cast in their costumes has hit the web. Overall, the costumes are not bad at all. The costumes follow the precedent set by X-Men with lots of black and leather so as to not look silly. Personally I am surprised at the now brunette Sienna Miller (Baroness). She is looking absolutely hot and should consider sticking with that hair color for a while. But a Baroness without black rimmed glasses is incomplete at best. Click the link for the gallery.

X-Files 2 Plot Details - Based off the novelization of the movie, it appears that ex-FBI agents Mulder and Scully are drafted to investigate the odd disappearances of woman in Virginia. Sounds like a regular episode writ large.

Michael Winslow Does Star Wars - The man of a thousand sounds does a scene from Star Wars. It begins about two minutes into the video (first part related to a bathroom break).


Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe: The Game - A trailer is available that shows Batman and Sub-Zero going at it. It’s apparently a real game that is coming out towards the end of the year. Considering how bloody (Fatalities) the Mortal Kombat franchise has been over the years, I expect the combination will result in a safer more PG-13 game. Shame too, wouldn't mind seeing the beheading of Batman or Superman. Click the link to see the trailer.

Elevator Facts - After combing through a New York Times article, Gizmodo came up with bunch of useful facts about elevators including the reality that the close button doesn't even work, just there to make people feel more in control.

Google Homage to Tom Lehrer - Google blogs about Tom Lehrer, who turned 80 this week. He is a source of inspiration for Google VP Jonathan Rosenberg and is probably someone you are more familiar with then you realize. He is probably most famous for "The Element Song" but as the link shows, he has done plenty of other songs that are noteworthy and part of pop culture in various ways.
