May 12 2009 'Bambi 2' Fused with Patrick Stewart's Scene from 'Extras'
I don't understand why anyone does anything.
Below the cut, Ian McKellen's famous Extras appearance, again synced with footage from Bambi 2 but, strangely, done by a different person who also shares an interest in combining the straight-to-video Disney sequel with the Ricky Gervais TV comedy.

Oct 23 2008 Good News for Home Box Office Comedy
I don't have HBO (I possess nothing that could ever be regared as "premium" anything), but as a fan of DVD sets and criminal downloading, I'm pretty excited by a couple things I read today regarding the cable network's comedy lineup.
1. Variety reports Curb Your Enthusiasm season seven will start shooting in December, with ten new episodes coming next year. Who is Larry David going to provide disaster relief to this season? I can't wait to find out!
2. On Ricky Gervais's blog, he said (possibly joking?) he's started work on another Extras special:
Steve must have seen the thing in the press about me thinking about doing another Extras Special. He's in LA at the moment but the story that went out across America was that, although I would consider it, I thought Steve would take some convincing. Well I got an email today from him saying he's up for it. I started work on it immediately. Does anyone know Al Pacino?
Now where's news of a surprise Arrested Development special so we can hit my favorite-fairly-recent-television-comedy trifecta?
Dec 13 2007 Ten-Minutes of 'Extras' Series Finale Online
The second season of Extras had its issues, but it was still better than most comedies on TV. And from the looks of the first ten minutes of the Christmas Special finale, it seems like the series will thankfully end on a high note. I'm absurdly excited. If you have HBO, totally watch it this Sunday at 9.
With this and The Office Christmas Special, you now have almost three full hours of Gervais-filled, choir/Rockette-free Christmas joy to bask in before you fall into a lonely, drunken stupor. Merry Christmas!

Sep 25 2007 'Extras' Christmas Special Trailer is Great
If you haven't been watching Ricky Gervais's British The Office follow-up, Extras, I suggest you get to you local DVD emporium, HBO channel, or one of those fancy internet-downloaders and watch it. It's not the best thing in the world, but its lack of laugh track, attractive young friends, or a sports-loving dad still sets it head-and-shoulders above most sitcoms. But for those of you already "in the know," head to iTunes and subscribe to The Ricky Gervais Show to see the trailer to the show's Christmas special. It's worth watching just to see George Michael, playing himself, go into the woods to solicit sex. Normally that sight costs you a line of coke and a Zima.

Jun 22 2007 Christmas Comes Early for Dorks
It hurts so good!
Alright nerds, I've got a present for you: 75 new Harry Potter pictures. As for myself, I haven't seen a Harry Potter movie since I saw the first one on mushrooms and crapped myself during the 'talking hat' scene. However, I do have a newfound respect for Daniel Radcliffe. He turned in one of the funniest guest appearances I've ever scene in Ricky Gervais' HBO show, Extras. Check it out, after the jump.
