Jim Kelly says the Buffalo Bills should draft Tim Tebow.
Pardon the barely English snarking on the part of talentless Sportscenter broadcasters, but quite frankly this Tebow idea has been something I’ve been talking about for at least a year. I freakin’ love the idea, and I am perfectly okay with Buffalo sacrificing the rest of this season to get prime Draft real-estate in order to...

"I just don't think I'm cut out to be a writer."
nerdshares:
— every writer in the history of everything.
(But most recently a friend of mine who is a very successful reporter — she grew up in the south Bronx, earned a scholarship to Yale, now gainfully employed at a prominent publication; also may receive a smack on the mouth.)
God, I can’t tell you how many times a day I say to myself: “I suck. I should just quit.”

WSJ: How does that ticking clock affect your work? Does it make you want to write more shorter pieces, or to cap things with a large, all-encompassing work?
CM: I’m not interested in writing short stories. Anything that doesn’t take years of your life and drive you to suicide hardly seems worth doing.

I hate BBC for doing this, but it’s a three minute clip from the new Doctor Who special “The End of Time part 1”!
I cannot wait for this, just an awesome intro.

is writing comics the latest celebrity trend? →
A pretty intriguing article by Lauren Davis, I found it this morning while going through my Reader, but I wish I could say something more about this. I mean Tyrese’s comic, I can’t say looks good at all, but Kevin Smith’s run on Green Arrow re-established the character and his run on Daredevil led off an era where the character is probably the best written super-hero book these...

Morning coffee is for idiots.
While walking back from getting my coffee this morning I overheard this conversation.
BUSINESS MAN 1: You're going to be great, man. What are the five words you need to remember?
BUSINESS MAN 2: Don't mess up?
BUSINESS MAN 1: That's three words.
BUSINESS MAN 2: Don'tmessupdon'tmessupdon't...

What the hell with Julia Allison on that Peyton/Timberlake tv commercial.

Yeah pretty much my thoughts too. Made it through the first two painful hours, but jumped ship halfway through the second night and now no longer interested. Well, at least we have the original version. Oh well.

If you have time to kill—say half an hour—enjoy this interview with Damon Lindelof talking all things LOST, and his awesome Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk miniseries. The miniseries had to be my favorite of the year; well, the last three years since it took that long to finish, but it was totally worth the wait.

Trailer for the CLASH OF THE TITANS remake. Starring Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Danny Huston as Poseidon and Ralph Fiennes as Hades. Looks kinda chaotic, not entirely sure what’s going on, but has a ton of potential. Film releases March 2010.
EDITED to get a stable trailer on there for y’all. Sorry for the trouble. Props to my buds at The Flickcast. Agreed though, Agent M,...
