The Flash released on DVD
Warner Bros Home Video will release the entire Flash series on January 10, 2006. The 6 disc set will include all 22 episodes of the series, including the 90 minute pilot movie that kicked it all off. The suggested retail price is $59.98. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any extras on the set. And even more unfortunately, still no explanation as to what it is The Flash's costume is made out of. It looks like raw meat to me.

The Apprentice gets old
If you missed last week's Apprentice, the teams put together a tech expo for a bunch of old people. What's hilarious is that the old white dude that works for Donald Trump seemed to be as interested in the snacks and stuff as all the other old people. Here he is, a guy that makes a gazillion dollars a day who has to occasionally give Donald Trump a blowjob, and once you put a plate of crackers in front of him he reverts back to the 90-year old guy that he is. I bet he wears a diaper too. That's funny.
A History of Violence Review
I was walking through Barnes & Nobles checking out the graphic novels section like I always do when I saw "A History of Violence" and had my mind blown. I can't be the only person who didn't know that the movie was based on a comic book, because very few people read comic books and even fewer of those few people read comic books called "A History of Violence." I don't know what the point of this was, but A History of Violence is a good movie. Not nearly as historical as you'd hope it would be, but the violence sure was there. A damn shame about the history thing, though. I find nothing improves psychological dramas more than historical facts and numbers. Anyways, Viggo Mortensen has a weird scar on his lip that I didn't notice during LOTR so that's always fun. Best review ever? Best review ever.
Batman TV mansion doesn't burn down
Earlier reports that Bruce Manor had burned down have turned out to be completely false. Apparently news agencies don't actually use sources anymore, and pretty much just make up whatever they want. Anyways, the alleged house that was burning down was next door to the TV Batman house, and not actually the house itself. In other news, Adam West was almost shot, but it turned out to be another man and not him at all.
Spider-man 3 costumes suck
Word on the street is that the Spider-man 3 costumes aren't looking very promising.
"If you thought the first 'Spiderman' was bad in terms of development, just wait until you see the next film. The first problem is with Venom's costume, which Spiderman wears first. Instead of being pure black, they took a bit from the comic and gave it a disgusting purple tint. In the comic the reason for the tint was to Venom stood out in the shadows, but in film there's no reason for this. Now I've actually seen the costume designs and they're terrible. The purple looks awful.
And yes it gets much, much worse. All I can say about the Hobgoblin outfit is "yikes"! He looks like a skateboarder or something."
Considering Venom and Sandman are going to have to be rendered completely in CG anyways, it's hard to imagine how screwed up the costumes can be. Although I'll admit making Venom purple is pretty lame. Why don't they just give him a skirt and some makeup?
Dane Cook kisses Charlize Theron's ass
And leave it to Jay Leno to make a totally inappropriate comment about how he wanted to switch places with Dane Cook. Why hasn't anybody slapped that big-chinned bastard in the face yet for being a total pervert? The guy does all his interviews while staring at his guests' breasts, and yet when I do it women can't wait to punch me in the face. What an unfair world we live in.
