Do you think Joss Whedon just sits around laughing maniacly at all the emotional trauma he inflicts?

That said, Dr. Horrible is still fantastic.

Joss Whedon is my hero

RIP George Carlin

Please let Joss Whedon write Spider-man. Please, please, please.

This is the type of Monday morning it was

This conversation came up in relation to the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker theme party these people http://www.dasbecca.com/ threw for their 5 year old.

See the absurd and yet awesome detail they put into it:

Jeff: Someday when I have a kid, I can only hope to compete with this party.

Erin: Jeff, I will never hand-stitch deku people or make a Zelda pinata. Or make bird people costumes. Or give 5 year olds swords. Did you guys see the Hero cake though? Yeah, I'm not making that either.

Jeff: Honey, I’m not saying you have to hand-stitch deku people or make a Zelda piñata. That’s just silly. You don’t even play Zelda games. So what we’ll need to do is make a little Kirby costume for the baby and give him a baseball bat. Crowley, you can be Wario but you take those whacks like a man and no running over my kid with a motorcycle, do you hear me?

Crowley: Alright, no motorcycle, but I reserve the right to use the rest of his stuff... including the garlic powered superheroism and the down-and-B attack. If the kid hits me with a bat, he's ASKING for a return volley of flatulence.

Jeff: You hear that hon? Crowley's going to fart on our baby.

Erin: I'd expect him to do that even if he wasn't Wario.

Crowley: Remember, there were stipulations there. Only if the kid hits me with the bat. Or tries to swallow me or cook me in a pot. You know, whatever. Hell, even if it drops on me like a rock from twenty feet up. I'm going to leave my options open.

Of course this got me thinking that we must have a Smash Bros party complete with smash ball pinata and bean bag pikmin.

Twitter remains a mystery to me

I just keep laughing every time I read it:

I just don't see what wrong with having a nice glass of wine with a pancake.

Mustard: Mahalo version.

So just back from a nice trip to Oahu where I did indeed managed to get up on the surf board. I have the pictures to prove it:





Can someone tell me what's going on with airline services? I realize that airlines are trying to cut down on costs but when you're only giving me one mini-bag of pretzels and The Devil Wears Prada for a 6 hour flight, that's pretty pathetic. Speaking of terrible in-flight movies:

Rush Hour 3 - A thousand monkeys typing on a thousand typewriters would scream and throw their poo at the screen if ever forced to watch this worthless waste of celluloid. I now retroactively hate X3 even more after seeing this latest abomination of Brett Ratner.

The Golden Compass - I consider myself a pretty intuitive guy when it comes to movies. And I can watch a disjointed movie and usually find myself accepting convoluted or even gapping holes in logic. But even after wikipedi-ing the source material for this movie, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Not to mention Nicole Kidman doesn't speak in a normal voice the entire movie. She whispers every single line she has like she's just awestruck to be acting opposite a CG monkey. And I like Freddy Highmore. In general he's one of the few child actors who doesn't either outright suck at acting or who doesn't overcompensate by chewing the scenery Broadway style. But he just is terrible in the voice over role. Maybe it's due to recording his lines alone in a studio but he never seems to be conversing in the same tone as the real actors he's supposed to be talking to.

News and Notes:

Finally watched 3:10 to Yuma. What is up with Alan Tudyk always being killed after a funny one liner?

Baseball season is back. C'mon Mets, let's get those bats going. And stop having your pitchers getting injured.

Summer movie season is almost upon us. Stay tuned for the summer movie preview. Coming soon to a Mustard near you.

Until next time:

"It's awesome! It's like the Sith Lords man, there's always only two of them."

"Did you just Star Wars us?"

Fisher we hardly knew ye and Musicians who do drugs

What a sad time in that Fisher Stevens' character arc on Lost was over before it started. Only one episode and our illustrious character actor was killed off. Such a shame.

On the other we're actually going more obscure by the sudden appearance of actor Kevin Durand as another other Other. If you're thinking, "Hey, wasn't he one of the crazy Tremor brothers in Smokin' Aces?" then I feel sorry for you cause that means you've actually seen Smokin' Aces (how the eff do you make an action shoot 'em up that pretentious, Joe Carnahan? HOW!?). You may also recognize him from his less psychotic role as Tree in Mystery, Alaska.

Speaking of character actors, after watching Coffee and Cigarettes I've come to two conclusions:
1. I think it would be fascinating to do a comparison of who's done more drugs, Iggy Pop or Keith Richards.
2. If they ever make a movie biopic about Tom Waits, Ron Perlman absolutely has to star. I mean just look at them:

The sad part is I think this would be awesome.

Well your Honor, the seven deadly sins are not like the Constitution, they can't be amended. So if I were you yes, I'd be worried.

Mustard: always worth the wait.

So how bad has Heroes been? I mean sweet Odin's raven, I can't stop myself from laughing whenever Hayden Panattiere is on screen. The stilted dialog and painful attempts to emote are of a level unseen since Shannon Elizabeth in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Hayden isn't completely to blame. The best parts of the show are Hiro and Ando and their in friggin' Japanese! Even Kristen Bell looks like she's wondering if maybe she should have taken up that offer to be on Lost. Never has a show had so many characters and actors that I actually like and yet I find myself hating the actual show itself. Damn you Tim Kring!

Meanwhile Chuck has finally grown to the point where I almost can't tell Josh Schwartz still misses Adam Brody. Almost. Adding Rachel Bilson to the mix for a few episodes didn't help.

All these people complaining that the Golden Compass is anti-Catholic. Just because the author is atheist and the books are essentially about a quest to overthrow the Church and heaven? Let's keep some perspective here. I mean Kevin Smith actually killed God in Dogma.... (s)he got better.

So will Smash Bros Brawl be the greatest video ever? I don't know. But it has pixelated 8-bit Excitebikes as weapons. How phenominal is that? Not to mention it has a character whose super power turns him into this:



Dah dah dah! Wario Man!

So has anyone else heard of shockheaded Peter? It's apparently a popular German children's story about a kid whose mother tells him not to suck his thumb. When he doesn't heed her, a tailor comes along with scissors and cuts off his thumbs! What the f$%# is wrong with the Germans!? Seriously, this is what you read to your kids? I would have nightmares for an effing month if my mom read me this story when I was young.

News and Notes:

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Zack Snyder, that's who.

So the Irish limp off into the sunset 3-9... so... how bout them Giants?

Mets in the running for Johan Santana? But what will they have to give up?

Until next time:

"Look carefully, ladies; this is your future."

"Is it vodka?"

"Water."

"As in Russian for vodka?"

Happy Thanksgiving
