OMG AL CY YOUNG!

via With Leather on November 18th, 2009

We’re now in the phase of the MLB season where the leagues glacially roll out their post-season awards; and we were moderately tickled to see Kansas City Royals ace and object of female WL readers’ affection Zack Greinke scoop up the AL Cy Young Award after one of the best seasons in baseball history. Greinke finished the season with...

BARACK OBAMA: SATAN, OR MERELY EVIL?

via Warming Glow on November 18th, 2009

My least favorite posts to write are the ones of a political nature, because they never have anything to do with cats and the people involved are almost always ugly. Take, for example, this video in which Bill O’Reilly says to his guest Lou Dobbs: Final question. Barack Obama: Is he the devil? My head already hurts just imagining the...

HITMAN MONKEY? HITMAN MONKEY.

ook ook bang bang Hitman Monkey will debut in a Marvel digital comic — the first character to ever do so – then make appearances in Deadpool and Spider-Man. “Hitman Monkey is a soulful, tortured, jazz-loving 30-pound engine of destruction,” explains Executive Editor Axel Alonso. “Think Chow Yun Fat...

HOCKEY PLAYER GOES OUT ON TOP

via With Leather on November 18th, 2009

I also thought about “My Bum Is On The Swedish” for the title of this post, but (a) it’s a incredibly dated ref and (b) you can’t really tell from the image that this dude falling through the glass after scoring a goal is actually Swedish. For one thing, he actually has a job… Anyway, this is Henrik Andersen, an...

WOLFMAN HAS A NEW TRAILER, NARDS

via Film Drunk on November 18th, 2009

People haven’t been too hot on the Benicio Del Toro/Anthony Hopkins Wolfman movie, probably because it began by changing directors, later dropped Danny Elfman as composer and hired someone else, and most recently brought in two new editors to recut it. That much studio meddling is usually a bad sign. According to Benicio’s Playboy...

FINALLY! ‘KITTEN MITTENS’ ON HULU!

via Warming Glow on November 18th, 2009

It was impossible to find embeddable video of Charlie’s cold open for the hilarious “Kitten Mittens” episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” and I’m pleased to announce that the entire episode is now available online at Hulu. I’ve embedded Charlie’s Kitten Mittens ad, but you’ll...

LEBRON SAYS HE COULD HELP THE BROWNS

via With Leather on November 18th, 2009

UPDATE: When asked about James, ESPN reports that Browns coach Eric Mangini said, “I think he should come on down.” Word. NBA superstar LeBron James was asked about the 1-7 Cleveland Browns last night, and technically speaking, they’re his hometown team. But James wasn’t necessarily upset upset about Eric Mangini or the...

WELL HELLO LEIGHTON MEESTER

via Warming Glow on November 18th, 2009

GQ named Leighton Meester “Obsession of the Year” for its December issue, and I don’t know if that award comes with a trophy or a restraining order, but the important thing about it is that it justified a lingerieffic photo shoot by Mark Abrahams. There’s an article about her too, with all sorts of words and sentences and...

THIS IS WHAT A TEST-SCREENING AUDIENCE LOOKS LIKE

via Film Drunk on November 18th, 2009

Often times in film or television news you’ll hear the phrase “tested well” or something “didn’t test well.” What that means is, the producers on a project got a bunch of random people with nothing to do in the middle of the day to go to a screening of something they’d never heard of before. Then,...

RAY BRADBURY GETS TV SHOW, ISN’T DEAD

via Gamma Squad on November 18th, 2009

It looks like way-older-than-the-Empire-State-Building Sci-Fi legend Ray Bradbury is getting another TV series adapting his works, as Variety is reporting that he’s signed a deal with White Oak Films to develop a six-part miniseries. Bradbury will choose and adapt the stories on “The Bradbury Chronicles,” as well as executive...

COLLEGE BASKETBALL STARTED

via With Leather on November 18th, 2009

We’re about a week into the season for college hoops, we’ve already had a dramatic last-second win and, after last night, a scare for the consensus No. 1 team. Memphis took No. 1 Kansas the distance last night, just coming up short in a dramatic 57-55 loss. I mean, I guess it was dramatic. For November, anyway. Memphis (1-1) closed...

LeBron James loves football, attention. LeBron James still pines for the sport he left behind in high school, and he’s not too humble to tell people he could still be a “really good” receiver in the NFL. Of course James isn’t stopping there. The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar has decided to quit basketball in deference to...

WALKEN + CARTMAN + GAGA = AWESOME

via Warming Glow on November 18th, 2009

I’m not exactly a proponent of Lady Gaga, but I did spend two days this fall with “Poker Face” stuck in my head non-stop. Since then, there have been two excellent televised versions of her catchy song — first by Eric Cartman on “South Park,” then by Christopher Walken on BBC One. The video above mixes all...

SAINT ANDREW’S NET: JONESIN’

Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily pile o’ links. Thanks to ESPN, it’s already sick of college basketball. So what exactly does the future hold for LeBron James?
