WarGames at a theater near you. On July 24th, WarGames is coming back to the theaters in a very limited engagement.  But they’re also showing a preview of the sequel.  You take the good with the potentially very bad. ;-)

• Funniest XKCD comic I’ve seen: MacGyver Gets Lazy.

• Scully’s father died.  Sad. He was also on that Stargate show, it seems.

• Greatest alarm clock ever: Every time you don’t wake up, it calls a random number on your cell phone.  Wake up by ticking off your friends!

• Hellboy on Inside the Actor’s Studio.  I laughed.

• I never thought a show like “Wipeout” would make it to air in America, just for litigious reasons. It’s way too easy a show for a contestant to get hurt on and sue for big damages.  Why risk it?  Why not just do a trivia show?  There’s a fifty page release form contestants have to sign, and special mud to make their landings soft.

Yes, this one is short.  Time for a long weekend. I’ll see you back here on Monday, for sure.  But you never know — if something strikes my fancy, I might pop up over the weekend.

• Color pictures of Mark Twain.  Never thought I’d see that.

• Classic paintings - with extra ducks.

• They’re remaking The Prisoner as a TV show. Ian McKellan will play Number Two, which is pretty cool.

• OK, this is cute: Colbert vs. Cookie Monster.

• How to take pictures of fireworks this weekend.

• Ladies and gentlemen, I present the bat%&^ insane Mary Murphy.

“So, to be clear, when dancers enter the Tra La La zone, they have achieved something greater than landing a spot on the Hot Tamale Train, the gold standard Murphy established last season when a fiery jive performance prompted her to issue first-class tickets on the “hot tamale train” for the couple, confusing everyone around her, including executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe.”

• The most exciting golf simulator coming for the Wii looks to be CustomPlay Golf.

New month, new movies.

And, honestly, I can’t get excited about any of them.

So, instead, I present to you this:

Rock out. Yeah, it’s mostly Aerosmith songs, but any new Guitar Hero songs are good Guitar Hero songs at this point.
