First, a big ol’ thanks from Logan and me for making this year’s Oscar Live Blog our best yet. The snark was flying fast and funny, from us as well as from a record number of commenters. If you spent the night with us, we certainly appreciate it and hope to see you again next year (or perhaps sooner, we’ve always talked about doing more live blog events). If you missed it, check out the full replay here.
Now let’s see how the rest of the net’s feeling this morning:
UPDATE: Another year in the can. Read the transcript of the night’s events below!
UPDATE: And we’re off! Read and comment away!
The fun starts in a half hour, folks! Stay tuned to this space.
If Betty Draper forgets about you, just go with it. REVIEWED: Unknown. PLUS: We get a studio audience!

"Nolan didn't get the nom?!"
Oh yes. It’s back. This Sunday (5PT/8ET on ABC) James Franco and Anne Hathaway will awkwardly tag-team the Oscars, and–for the third year in a row–so will Logan and I.
How does it work you ask? Don’t worry, stupid. It’s easy. When you sit down to watch the awards, make sure you’ve got your laptop (or mobile device!) tuned to this site where you’ll find running commentary by me and Logan for the entirety of the broadcast. Check out the snazzy replays of our 2010 or 2009 events to get the idea.

There’s been talk/threats of a reboot of my absolute favorite childhood cartoon, Thundercats, for quite some time. If you’re not familiar, this is what the original badass Thundercats were all about:
Recently, there’s been some buzz around a new animated series that’ll look like this:
So anime it hurts!
Ugh right? They took that neat hand-drawn style and replaced it with boring ol’ anime. What a disappointment.
But then there’s this little relic. Test footage from a scrapped Thundercats CG movie:
Wow. Suddenly I’m psyched for the new cartoon. It couldn’t possibly be worse than that.

Let’s ease into this week shall we? Don’t worry, we’ve got two, count ’em two podcasts coming to you in the next couple days, but until then how about we all enjoy the comedy stylings of Donald Glover talking about the short-lived online campaign to make him the first black Spider-Man.

I don’t know about you, readers, but I’m snowed in. And when I’m snowed in, I like to watch a little bit of this:
Look. I tried to find a picture for this story but Screened used the only good one and WordPress is really annoying me today with its finicky attitude toward two images sharing the same line.
Anyway, the guy who directed Brick, which was awesome, is collaborating with the guy who directed Primer, which was awesome. They are working on Brick guy’s movie about time-travelling-hitmen. Or maybe the hitmen themselves don’t actually travel time. They just get their victims FedEx’d to them from the future so the bodies can be disposed of without a trace. Sounds pretty great to me!
Man this post looks bare. Here’s a bonus for you:

This is also useful if you were unaware of the EXACT steps involved in going to a movie. Shorty.
