I’m watching Larry King trying to match wits with Jon Stewart; when King said “I am unfeared!” (meaning something else), that about summed it up.

Why So Serious About IP?
In addition to his other villainies, the Joker is also a fan of IP. In the Batman Animated Series episode “The Laughing Fish,” the Joker fills Gotham Harbor with chemicals that give all the fish his characteristic grin, so that when fishers try to sell them (the fish are otherwise safe to eat) he can sue for copyright infringement. (In the original comic it was trademark infringement, which makes a smidgen more sense.) And in a later episode, “Joker’s Wild,” he decides to destroy a Joker-themed casino because they’re cashing in on his image. Is there no end to his perfidy?
Given real-world IP laws, I’m not sure why Warner Bros. allows these episodes to be hosted on YouTube or how long they will continue to do so; enjoy them while you can! (I like the earlier episode better because it has Harley Quinn in it. Everything’s better with Harley!)
Watchfriends
Forget that new Watchmen movie that’s coming out in theatres. This Saturday morning cartoon version is far more awesome:
Thumbs Down From the Führer
Turns out Hitler doesn’t like the new Watchmen movie. (WARNING: SPOILERS for anyone who’s been living under a rock for the past few months.)
Acid Reflux
So, I have this idea for a scene in a movie, but I have no idea for the rest of the movie, so here’s the scene. Some people find it really funny, others are like “what?”
The characters are fighting a bunch of vampires, and the Cool Guy takes out this water cannon and starts blasting the vampires with liquid. When it hits them it burns like acid; the vampires’ faces melt, they collapse screaming, etc.
Less Cool Guy: Damn, that stuff works on them just like acid! What is it, holy water?
Cool Guy: No, it’s acid.
That is all.
