HBO Kills "Preacher" - God Gets his Revenge

HBO didn't actually kill a preacher. Rather, it ended production of a televised adaptation of Garth Ennis's epic Vertigo Comics series "Preacher" that was just about ready to start shooting in the near future. Mark Steven Johnson (of "Punisher" infamy) was set to direct, and here's what he has to say about the whole bloody affair:

"We were budgeting and everything and it was getting really close to going," Johnson told The Comics Continuum. "But the new head of HBO felt it was just too dark and too violent and too controversial. Which, of course, is kind of the point!

"It was a very faithful adaptation of the first few books, nearly word for word. They offered me the chance to redevelop it but I refused. I've learned my lesson on that front and I won't do it again. So I'm afraid it's dead at HBO."

If anyone at Showtime is getting wind of this, fucking pick up this series. This would go great with "Dexter" and "Weeds" and all of your other original series (there's just no way to pluralize that word, is there?). Pretty please?

*"God gets his revenge" is a rather spoiler'y reference to something that happens in the comic series. It would do you good to buy all 10 volumes of "Preacher", you know, so you could get with the program.

**For someone who's supposed to be on vacation, I'm not doing a great job of relaxing. Just couldn't help myself when I saw this before heading out on vacation. So, that post where I said I wouldn't be posting much of anything for the next couple of days from a couple of days ago . . . let's forget that ever happened.

BAFW Book Club - Snuff

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

BAFW on Vacation (Again?)

Just how many fucking vacations do I need? Not as many as I'm getting. This is just a quick trip down to San Diego to see a relatively unknown band. I think they're getting to be known by the mainstream and we'd like to have a chance to see them in concert before they get too big. What? Radiohead is already a huge, multi-national and successful band, instantly recognized by their wondrous musical achivements?

I guess it's not a small band after all. So yeah, we got the worst seats imaginable for the concert. Seats that are in an entirely different city. But it just creates an excuse to get out of town for three days and two nights. Away from work and bullshit. I don't have anything scheduled to post for the next couple of days, but the guys over at Analog Medium (also accessible through the links menu in the sidebar) might be posting up a review of mine within the next couple of days. Check them out, they don't get nearly enough vacations.

The Downfall of the English Language Takes a Break

This is another fine example of the deterioration of the English language, and clear evidence that I work with morons. A GED is just not enough to cut the mustard these days. It might be a little small, but click on the picture and get it as big as you possibly can, to see the brilliant spelling of the word "Refrigerator" as you've never seen it before. And, the icing on the misspelling cake is that it's not just one sign . . . every fucking sign in that break room has the same spelling for the fridge. And, no one has said anything about it to my knowledge. It's almost enough to make me want to run around with a Sharpie pen, correcting mistakes like these left and right, but what difference can one man make? I'm not the grammar police.

The Mojave Experiment - Ground Breaking?

Oh Microsoft. Lately, everywhere I go on the internets, I'm running into banner ads for this "Mojave Experiment" that Microsoft is trying to push on us to drum up some good publicity for Windows Vista. I get it. Your much bally-hooed operating system is crap and you want to sell some more copies of it. I guess they got a bunch of people into a focus group session and made sure their only exposure to computers excluded everything except other Windows OS versions. There's a couple of videos in their video wall of people reacting to something Microsoft is calling "Instant Search". It's ground breaking apparently.

If it hadn't been around forever and a day ago in my beloved Mac OSX. And not even the latest one. I'm still rocking version 10.4. You can head on out to this website to check out Microsoft going on and on about this feature, and other features that are new to them, but have been around for quite some time for Mac users. Oh, and just for shits and giggles, I decided to do my own search for my computer's calculator application using "Spotlight". Check it out.

Haha! Suck it Microsoft! I found my calculator (not that I didn't already know where it was anyway) without using Windows Vista.

Transporter 3 Teaser Trailer

I had no idea that there would be a third "Transporter" movie. To tell you the truth, I don't even know what the reasoning was behind the 2nd movie. But I have to hand it to the film-makers that crank out these flicks, because those slickly edited car porn movies they make are fun as shit. Sure, they don't make much sense. And you're never going to get a car to do that. But if you're willing to turn off your brain for an hour and a half, then it's harmless entertainment. Don't know what the story is with this new installment, but it's going to involve cars. And some transporting of some sort. Hey, I think I just came up with the plot for "Transporter 4"!

Lily Allen Slips Nipple, then Punches?

Lily Allen had a bit of a nipple'y evening recently outside of a London nightclub. But that's not where this story is focusing on. I mean, sure, we like nipple slips as much as any other celebrity gossip blog out there, but it's the fight that Lily Allen had with an unknown female directly after the nipple slipping incident that has me a little perplexed. I knew all along that Lily Allen's not much of a girly-girl. Which led me to have high hopes in her fighting prowess. Which is, apparently (from these pictures below) a little on the lacking side. Now, I may not have all the facts here. She might have been drinking which would reduce her hand-eye coordination, which might be the culprit for the super weak looking punch you'll see. Or she just might punch like a girl. Either way, she's trying to wail on this chick, but it just looks ineffective. Thanks to all the paparazzi that crowded the event, as we get multiple angles. Enjoy.




In case you're not into this punching business, here's another shot of Lily Allen's nipple slip. For the pacifists out there I guess. Make nipple slips, not war.

The Prodigal Sideboob Returns

If it isn't Lindsay Lohan, showing the world the side of her boob while wearing a tank-top that is just a tad on the revealing side. It doesn't hurt the inception of this sideboob viewing opportunity that Lindsay's not wearing a bra. I mean, why should she have to. She's Lindsay Lohan. And bra's are for suckers anyway. I tell my wife that all the time. This sideboob eventually led to a moderate strength nipple-see-through in the picture below. But Lindsay's mammary strength is not in the nipple area, but rather the girth of the whole boob in itself . . . you know . . . when she's not coked out of her gourd and she's eating.

Heidi Montag Strikes Again

If you can sit through this, you're a stronger person than I am. This is Heidi Montag's latest "single" titled "Overdosin'". I don't think I have the right words to describe the utter disgust and fear for my own sanity's sake to describe this. It's terrible. I'm almost sorry to post this up, but then again, my readers are a bunch of perverts anyway. They'll probably cut out the sound and just attempt to jack it to the random Montag pics that make up this unofficial music video. But remember, Jesus is watching.

He always is. He's a pious voyeur.

Selma Blair: Scowl-kini

I'm not quite sure why Selma Blair is looking so upset lately. She's co-starring in a pretty well reviewed and well received sequel in the "Hellboy" franchise, has a new show called "Kath & Kim" (which is where these pictures were taken from) premiering this new fall season on a network channel that is completely eluding my memory at this time, is a celebrity and naturally has more money than most of us (definitely more than what's in BAFW's Google Ads account). So then, why is she looking so despondent in that bikini? It's not flattering. I guess she figured these pictures would end up all over the internet, still being talked about and posted up days after their initial release by smart-aleck-y bloggers. Sorry Selma, around here, BAFW is part of the problem, not part of the solution. Just don't look at BAFW like in the picture below . . ever. It actually kind of scares me.

If we mention the camel-toe, will she kill us?

Musically Inclined Mondays - Bowerbirds

The Bowerbirds's "In Our Talons" is one of my favorite new songs of 2008. I find myself singing along to this every single time it plays, either in my car or on iTunes on my computer. The video is equally as good, and you should give that a whirl as well. Check out the MP3 download link below if you want a free copy of the song. While it works. I'm not sure if my free hosting's bandwidth allowance will hold for the next couple of days.


Bowerbirds - In Our Talons

Happy Birthday!

It's not BAFW's birthday (at least I don't think it is), but rather my wife's 24th birthday today. I'd just like to stop the hilarity (what hilarity?) for a second and wish her a Happy Birthday. She's already gotten presents (over the last couple of days, something about a "birthday month", it might be bogus) and she's gotten some more today (at freaking 4:20 AM, I was already up, but she couldn't sleep in w/out presents), with more to come. We're also headed out for a nice dinner tonight, and possibly some "Tropic Thunder". That's not a sexual euphemism . . . but it could be *wink*.

(Too many parentheses in this post? [I don't think so.])

The English Language in the Shitter

It is my own personal opinion (almost bordering on fact actually) that the English language is slowly spiraling down the shitter, as more and more people just plain and outright misuse it. Case in point, this little piece of brilliance I found, appropriately, at my work's men's room . . . in one of their shitters. Now, I appreciate the effort to remind people to not be dirty, and to try to keep the area as clean as possible . . . but "please pick up behind yourself"? WTF? Pick up what behind myself? Did they mean "after" instead of "behind"? Someone already made an attempt at comprehension. When you click on the picture to make it bigger, someone wrote in "take toilet with you". It's not very visible, but it's there.

*sigh* What the fuck work. This is not the only instance of either a misspelling or a completely different word used than what should have been used. I'll try to get more picture evidence. Oooh, now I feel like one of those corporate spies. But I don't shoot on micro-film and I'm not packing a silenced 9mm.

Yet. . . . .

Samuel L. Jackson is Next

That's not a threat by the way. It's just an educated guess, a hypothesis if you will. Bernie Mac passed away on Saturday. Isaac Hayes met his untimely demise on Sunday. It would seem that the Grim Reaper is cutting a swath through the protagonists of the movie "Soul Men" from left to right, and the last cat in the picture is . . . Sam Jackson. But, I'd like to see Death go after Jackson. Not because I want him to die. Hell no. That would be a sweet fight though. I can already see Sam Jackson sending death with it's tail between its boney legs back to wherever the fuck it hangs out when it's not taking lives. So, on behalf of Mr. Samuel L. Jackson, BAFW would like to say: "Bring it on bitch!".

Isaac Hayes 1942 - 2008

Celebrities seem to be dropping like flies these days. The latest victim to mortality is Isaac Hayes, legendary (at least around these parts) musician and cool ass motha - shut my mouth? I'm just talkin' 'bout Isaac. Hayes was also known for providing the voice of South Park's "Chef" and was set to co-star in a movie called "Soul Men", which also co-starred Bernie Mac, who also passed away this weekend. Weird coincidence? Hmmm . . .

Good Cop, Baby Cop

See more Will Ferrell videos at Funny or Die

If you remember "Landlord", and you liked it, then you'll most likely enjoy Funny or Die's latest Pearl the Baby offering: "Good Cop, Baby Cop". It also features Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, and it's also Pearl's last baby performance. I guess when you make fat stacks in the internet shorts business, you can afford to retire early. Check out the video, and pray that you never run into Pearl in a dark alley on the wrong side of the law.

Christina Aguilera Nude

Hey look, it's a naked Christina Aguilera. Why is she naked? I don't know. Do you care why? Just enjoy it while it's viewable here. Photobucket tends to get all up in arms over this type of content. It's baffling. I thought it was un-American to take down nudie pics from a picture hosting website. Oh well, maybe they don't like naked chicks. Maybe if I found pictures of dangling cocks, they wouldn't take those down. This is all conjecture though. Oh, and why am I not writing more about Christina Aguilera? Because, other than being naked here, what else is going on with her lately? Not much, right?

More Miley Cyrus Hacked Pics

Trainreq, the "digital gangster" that broke into Miley Cyrus's e-mail or cell phone or something, has released more pictures of the young Disney Channel star in more non-Disney Channel approved situations. Thankfully (or unfortunately for all the pedo's out there) she's still clothed, but you can kinda see where this will end up. Here are a couple more of the pictures that were just released.



In case you're wondering if BAFW enjoys or condones this type of behavior from a 15 year old . . . the answer is no. But, it drives traffic, so it has to be posted. And who knows, maybe this girl's father will finally take notice of what's going on, finally stop counting her millions, and get a handle on this situation. So, in a way, BAFW is doing a public service by posting these pictures up. Yeah, now I can sleep at night.

Morgan Freeman in Car Accident

No, that's not the name of a new movie he's going to be in. Actually, he might not be in a new movie for quite some time unless it's already in post. You see, Morgan Freeman was in a rather serious car accident over the weekend and he's currently hospitalized in critical condition. The Associated Press has this to say about the event:

"They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle," McFerrin said. "He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."
McFerrin said bystanders converged on the scene trying to get a glimpse of the actor.
When one person tried to snap a photo with a cell phone camera, Freeman joked, "no freebies, no freebies," McFerrin said.

BAFW wishes Morgan Freeman a quick recovery. Because, seriously, these penguin marching movies don't narrate themselves.

Pushing Daisies Season 2 Trailer

This one's for my wife really. She loves "Pushing Daisies", and she's pretty excited about the series coming back for a 2nd season. I should be more excited than I actually am. I had a bit of a hard time getting into the first season . . . but it was created by Bryan Fuller, who made one of my favorite single season shows ever: "Wonderfalls". So, this will most likely get DVR'd, and this year, I'll try to watch it. The show is fun, you should check it out as well.

Rihanna Wears See-Through Shirt

This is one of those "what were they thinking?" moments. Rihanna was caught wearing a see through shirt/blouse (whatever) with nothing underneath it but nipples and nipple ring, but being that she's not too hard on the eyes, I'm thinking most people are saying to themselves "thank Jeebus she wasn't thinking!". I'm not a fan of her music, but I am a fan of retarded celebrities who wear see-through clothing . . . but only the ladies. Guys, keep it covered. Enjoy the next picture, and the one below it, when she realizes that "hey, there might be something wrong with my wardrobe choice tonight".
