*GRAVELY VOICE* THEY’RE THE GAME, BUT THEY’RE ALSO PREDATORS TOO

This weekend PREDATORS hunts you down like Twilight fans looking for boyfriends who will actually bite them. The previous installments in the series have been pretty awful, but now with Robert Rodriguez overseeing the project as producer and promising director Nimrod Antel directing, there’s hope that this one will be closer to the original than to the sequels. Or so I thought until seeing that it had a 50% rating from top critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

Lower my expectations Roger Ebert:

It lacks the quiet suspense of the first “Predator,” and please don’t even mention the “Alien vs. Predator” pictures, which lacked the subtlety of “Mothra vs. Godzilla.”

Well that’s a shame. Too bad Gary Busey isn’t in this one to crazy things up a bit. Maybe we’ll eventually get another behind the scenes video of Predators break dancing.

Hurr-durr explained.

TWILIGHT MOVIES RE-ENACTED WITH LOLCATS

One of my favorite things on the series of tubes known as the “internets” these days are popsuede.com’s LOLcat Repertory Players. All three Twilight movies are conveniently summarized for you with LOLcats, the latest of course being Eclipse. Hold on tight, spider-monkeys: http://www.popsuede.com/2010/07/twilight-saga-eclipse-with-cats.html

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice looks lame, unless there’s maybe a scene where Nic Cage gets bees poured onto his head or punches out women while wearing a bear costume, but these viral vids of a dog and a cat practicing sorcery are pretty cool. Just don’t let Harry Potter Cat see this because he might get totally jealous.

There’s probably a theme cafe for every kind of weird Japanese subculture, the latest and furriest is the Cat Cafe. For about 10 to 12 dollars an hour you can curl up with a pack of kitties while you drink your coffee or tea. There’s no extra charge for the cat hair in your drink, at least I hope not.

Tremendous News has a series of “Re-enacted by Cats” videos. The latest is about the vuvuzelas which aren’t funny anymore but I’m late for work and had to post something on the fly.

Somebody decided to edit in the music from Guile’s stage in Street Fighter 2 into this video of kitties fighting.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS TRAILER

The new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer is out and our new friend Harry Potter Cat is super excited [If somebody can come up with a better name, let me know…Catius Clawhorn?]. I just have to let him out as I keep him locked in a tiny room under the stairs…….why are you looking at me that way?

Expecto Patronum! Expecto Patronum! Expecto….oh, hello muggles, I didn’t see you come in. You may have heard in your curious internet contraption or the twitter that the new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been released. It’s amazing how your muggle moving picture makers have captured the story of the great Harry Potter thus far. My favorite part was the title card that states “THE MOTION PICTURE EVENT OF A GENERATION.“ Because like really you guys, how is that not true? I mean, screw you Oscars, one of these two movies better win best picture. It’s way past time somebody acknowledged that this is the greatest movie franchise ever! I don’t give a flying broom about Twilight or Dark Knight, Harry Potter gets so disrespected when they are easily the greatest movies of all time….all time! Um….errr….I mean it’s been very pleasurable speaking to you silly muggles today. Remember, the first part will be released into your theatrical movie houses on the 19th of November. I plan on apparating into the earliest showing, but until then I must leave you as there is a sale at Wal-Mar…errr Diagon Alley. Now has anybody seen the floo powder? Accio floo powder! Accio floo powder! Accio floo powder! Accio floo powder!

We better leave him be or he’ll keep trying that for hours.

The Vuvuzelas have been the big story of this World Cup and have spawned countless hilarious photoshops and gifs. I don’t get bothered by them during the games, but this poor pooch has to put up with his stupid owners blasting one right in his face. He gets his revenge by ruining their carpet. Looks like they found the elusive “Brown Noise.”

This is the place to see pets as people, but every now and then we may find something else as a pet. With that in mind, here is an Imperial Walker aka an AT-AT as a dog. My favorite part is the steaming pile of Jabba.

THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR CAT

There’s something about cats being named Oscar that just makes them inherently more awesome than your average kitty. What’s in a name? Oh, I don’t know, how about a cat that knows when you are about to die?

Now there’s a story out of London about a cat named Oscar that just had prosthetic paws attached to his hind legs after losing them in a horrific accident: MEOWCHIES.

Oscar the cat may have lost one of his nine lives, but his new prosthetic paws make him the world’s first bionic cat. (That we know of -ed)

After losing his two rear paws in a nasty encounter with a combine harvester last October, the black cat with green eyes(Black fur and green eyes, sounds like a handsome devil -ed) was outfitted with metallic pegs that link the ankle to the foot and mimic the way deer antlers grow through skin. Oscar is now back on his feet and hopping over hurdles like tissue paper rolls.
