In Theaters Friday:
- Iron Man – Jon Favreau directs Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. Is it wrong of me to hope Megan doesn’t really want to see this movie so I can see it this weekend while she’s out of town? I think I might be more excited for this one than Indiana Jones or Batman. Shocking, I know.
- Made of Honor – Patrick Dempsey gets made the maid of honor after he made the mistake of being made the best friend of the girl by which he’d like to get made a man. Not to be confused with Maid in Manhattan, Maid to Order, or the thousands of other Maid variations found on IMDb
On Video Yesterday:
- 27 Dresses – Katherine Heigl has a lot of dresses. The End.
- The Golden Compass – Nicole Kidman hangs out with a bunch of mythical creatures that hate Christianity.
- How She Move – Some girl tries to dance her way out of the hood. I want to know if this ever happens in real life. Are there really underground clubs scattered across the US in which happy-go-lucky teens band together to battle with the power of dance? Seriously, I want to know.
- The Diving Bell and the Butterfly – True story about a paralyzed editor who communicates by blinking. Supposed to be really powerful.

In Theaters Friday:
- Baby Mama – Tina Fey hires Amy Poehler as her own personal incubator. In other news, my wife has a platonic woman crush on Tina Fey and I’m perfectly okay with that.
- Deception – Wolverine plays a lawyer who introduces young Obi Wan to an underground sex club. Sounds like good clean family fun.
- Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay – Harold and Kumar are mistaken for terrorists on their way to Amsterdam. Neil Patrick Harris ensues
On Video Tuesday:
- Cloverfield – Monster movies enter the world of YouTube. Interesting concept, but probably would have been better on the big screen.
- Charlie Wilson’s War – A congressman, a CIA agent, and a Houston socialite go into a bar. The Cold War ends. Schlotsky’s! Starring Tom Hanks, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Julia Roberts. This one’s already in the Netflix queue.
- The Savages – Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney are dysfunctional siblings who must come together when their father becomes senile. I didn’t realize Hoffman made so many movies last year.

Stumble, Stumble, Stumble, Stumble, Stumble Chameleon
- This guy is a professional Origami artist. I didn’t even know that existed. He has an origami portfolio website. This guy is big time.
- This guy turned his Wiimote into a digital whiteboard. Geek factor: through the roof. Why is it that geeks always talk with their hands?
- Whenever I start feeling like a loser, I just watch this video and realize there are people way worse than I am…. Actually, that’s kind of cool. I suck again.
- I never thought I’d be linking the Ellen Degeneres show from my website, but here I go.
