Pretty damn deep for Men in Black.

Go here to examine if movies are even trying any more.

If you’ve watched any recent trailers, you’ve seen that a lot of them have things in common with past films, and sometimes even seem to be clones of them. Cracked’s Dan O’Brien investigates this distrubing trend in a very interesting article.

My Twitter page is lonely without you.

I know we’re a bit Portal 2 heavy this week, but it’s Friday and I promise I’ll cool off after the weekend’s over.

Today’s addition to the cosplay gallery I posted earlier is this fanmade poster featuring none other than Aperture science founder Cave Johnson (voiced awesomely by JK Simmons). If you’re averting your eyes from the quote, don’t worry, it’s not a spoiler, just a prime example of Valve’s great writing in the game.

Still have to finish co-op, which I must report is probably more fun puzzle-wise than single player

Someone went and tracked down the real guy who Hank Hill is based off of, and he’s none too happy about the show stealing his likeness. He wants us to get off his property and…

Alright, so it’s just a guy doing a really good Hank Hill impression while happening to look exactly like Hank Hill. Out of 300 million Americans, there had to be at least one who could look AND talk like him, right?

Now, find me Peter Griffin. And not just this guy, I need to hear him speak!

As I’ve followed The Office for seven years now, I thought it only fitting to at least recognize the departure of its idiot-in-chief, Steve Carell’s Michael Scott.

The man has become a television icon, a balance between a child, a moron and a pretty good guy, and for all my issues with the later seasons of The Office, namely him occasionally going full retard and acting more like Homer Simpson than an actual human being, it’s sad to see him go.

I was down on The Office for a long time, a few seasons actually, but recently the show seems to have found its magic again. It’s focused less on absurd plotlines (Dwight setting the office on fire, Michael driving into a pond) and focused more on its individual characters, including Michael Scott.

He’s grown up, and that was demonstrated by his rather touching farewell last night. I think the most telling moment was during the party planning committee meeting where he finally decided that the celebration shouldn’t be all about him for a change. Watching him say goodbye to everyone in a unique way was a good way to structure the episode. The best farewells were all almost tear inducing, between Dwight’s recommendation letter and long awaited paintball game, Jim’s admission of admiration and Pam’s airport Lost in Translation silent goodbye moment. Really expertly done.

I have a feeling that we haven’t seen the last of Michael Scott, and here’s to hoping we see him show up at the end of next season, with Michael Scott Jr. in tow.

So in retrospect, I see that my title can be taken as a fat joke, but there aren’t enough overweight Portal cosplayers to make a whole gallery, so you’re going to have to be content with a variety of shapes and sizes.

Some iterations are incredible (above) and some are not (scattered) below, but any fan of this series is a friend of mine, and I respect their passion no matter how their orange jumpsuits might fit.

I started a secret plan yesterday to get my girlfriend to play the original so by the time next Halloween rolls around, she’ll be a fan and I can convince her to make this her costume. But shhh don’t tell her.

Gallery starts below:

Via the informative folks at FeedVibe, we had this rather illuminating chart that shows exactly how much of your money goes where when you plunk down $60 for a video game.

As digital distribution takes over, I expect to see the 20% handed to the retailer to shrink dramatically. But if you think that all of a sudden games will be 20% cheaper, you’re kidding yourself. More than likely either the console or the publisher will pocket the different and keep charging you the same.

For as much as people like to claim the $60 game is going away, I have my doubts this will ever come to pass.

Gob’s not on board.

Anyway, this giant gallery comes courtesy of Unreality reader Christopher’s cousin, who has taken up the hobby of making various creations pertaining to video games out of beads.

There’s some pretty cool stuff here, including a ton of Pokemon, so naturally I had to feature it. How does stuff like this work? Is there like a program that blows up any image so it’s laid out in a pixel grid? After that, I would imagine it’s kind of color by numbers.

Most of you probably remember Ben Gazzara from the movie The Big Lebowski.   And that’s definitely a great place to start.   Me?  I happen to have liked him in two movies in particular.  The first is Roadhouse.   He’s the sadistic crime boss of a crappy little town.   His name?  Brad Wesley.  I just love it when Swayze yells “Wesley!”

The other movie I loved Gazzara in is Happiness.   That’s just a messed up movie and I’ve mentioned it before.   Please for the love of God see that movie just to say you’ve seen it.

Gazzara is no spring chicken either.  Dude’s been around Hollywood since 1952.   He’s got 132 credits to his name and is now in his 80s.   I’m a huge fan of this guy and you should be too.

A clip of Gazzara as Wesley after the jump…..

How often do you really stop to read an advertisement?   How often do you really pay attention to a commercial?   Not too often right?  And why exactly do you think that is?  Well it’s because most of them suck obviously.

Companies just don’t put enough thought into expressing their messages.  But when some of these guys get creative, they can produces works of art that are both meaningful and aesthetically impressive.

Check out these truthful ads that do a little of both…..
