- Probably our favorite Newsbite in quite some time. If you’re watching “Lostâ€, like so many of us, you know about those mysterious numbers, to which we’ve still yet to find the exact meaning. Well, USA Today blogger Whitney Matheson has been playing around with Lost’s numbers and the cool Google Maps system. Last week, she discovered that entering them in a certain way gave you an island location outside of Australia. HOWEVER, when you enter them in directly, without spaces, to the system, you’re gonna LOVE the location that it comes up with. See that? The Askewniverse really DOES touch everything!
- More Kevin sightings on that new deluxe Batman DVD: He also appears in the premiere documentary, LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT: THE HISTORY OF BATMAN, in more than a few segments and actually has the dubious honor of closing out the featurette. You can also see him in Part 3 of SHADOWS OF THE BAT.
- Now that the ‘ol scanner’s fixed, we can finally bring you this one — In the most recent Wizard (#169), Kevin does a one-page interview in which he talks about his Spider-Man/Black Cat comic, Moon Knight, and answers rumors about the Star Wars TV show and a DD2 film. Note that the Clerks 2 start date in there is wrong (went to press before it changed to this month).
- That Jason Lee segment ran on yesterday’s Don & Mike show, by the way. We hope you caught it. If anyone’s got an audio cap for us, we’d love to share it. Pass it on if you do, please.
- HBO reports than George Carlin has another stand up special coming up. “Life is Worth Losing†debuts Saturday November 4th. Details ahead:
Direct from the stage of the Beacon Theater in New York City, a longtime HBO favorite returns for his unprecedented 13th stand-up comedy special. Uncensored and uninhibited, this all-new 75-minute show – his fifth live performance on HBO – will feature George Carlin’s dead-on observations on such subjects as extreme human behavior; the feasibility of an all-suicide cable channel; and his inimitable takes on obscure American words and phrases. Don’t miss the latest outrageous observations from America’s original counterculture spokesman, Saturday, November 5 at 10 PM EST.
- Here’s scooper “Rob†to tell us of an interesting sighting he came across in a popular new online game (complete with a photo):
I play a game called Second Life, it’s pretty intense and is probably one of the most realistic alternate worlds in the way that things are run and the way the economy works, but anyways. I was walking into a movie theater that someone built where you can actually watch certain flicks, litterally as your character sits in a virtual theater. As I was looking around the place I decided to walk up the ramp to see the actual theater itself and loe and behold, the image I sent you is what greeted me as I headed in.
- Seems someone has turned a Freddy Funk (who is apparently the mascot of this Funko website) wobbler into a Brodie version. Peep a photo HERE.
- Chris is running the show here for the next week, as Brad’s off to cruise what’s left of the Caribbean on vacation. Make sure to use the SCOOPS e-mail address or Chris directly if you’ve got some news or a question. Thanks!
