1) Tropic Thunder
2) A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints
3) A Scanner Darkly
4) Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
5) Wonder Boys
6) U.S. Marshals
7) Two Girls and a Guy
8) Natural Born Killers
9) Chaplin
10) Iron Man
And of course, with that list, one can easily see that Robert Downey, Jr. is the common element in those films. With that kind of range, I should spread a rumor that he'll be playing The Riddler next. I bet Michael Caine would buy that one!
Here are this week's PHANTASMIC LINKS:
(1) Click Myclofigia and get our city to #1!
(2) Hey math geeks! Behold the lost art of Nomography. I have a vague recollection of doing something like this in high school, plotting points on a grid and drawing a series of straight lines between them that somehow formed curves. It's a cool marriage between the two halves of the brain.
(3) Apparently, some people were offended by the package design for Obama Waffles...
(4) Scientists seek dimensions beyond space and time. Coooool....
(5) Use your hook to grab floating mines and escape to the surface in Gravity Hook, but don't hang on too long unless you like to explode...
(6) The FM 100 Hue Test will gauge how well you perceive color, but if you're a former art major like myself those swatches may conjure flashbacks to color theory classes...
(7) Move, mutate, change color, feed flies and more with this cool and creepy Flash Spider.
(8) A collection of images showcases flags photoshopped into everyday items.
(9) Enjoy this Beautiful Rain Photography.
(10) What does the future hold for Iron Man 2?
(11) All productivity has ceased in my free time now that I've become addicted to Gemcraft, a cross between tower defense and RPG leveling. You have been warned and enticed...

From the New York Times:
"While Obama Waffles takes aim at Obama's politics by poking fun at his public remarks and positions on issues, it also plays off the old image of the pancake-mix icon Aunt Jemima, which has been widely criticized as a demeaning stereotype. Obama is portrayed with popping eyes and big, thick lips as he stares at a plate of waffles and smiles broadly.
Placing Obama in Arab-like headdress recalls the false rumor that he is a follower of Islam, though he is actually a Christian."
Yeah, not an offensive stereotype at all.
You want good political satire? Watch the cold opening of SNL. It hit on both Palin and Hillary Clinton.
Yeah, that quote is in the article I was linking to as well. Don't know what some people are thinking sometimes.
Found that SNL opening on YouTube. I knew they'd get Tina Fey for that; good bit. :)
What did you score on the color test? I got a 7 on a scale of 0-99 with 0 being the best.
