Nov 3 2009 The One And Only Christopher Walken Performing Lady GaGa's 'Poker Face'
This is a video of Christopher Walken reading Lady Gaga's song 'Poker Face' on the BBC's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. Trust me, it's every bit as awesome as it sounds. Plus some. MULTIPLIED BY MORE. And then divided by a fraction less than 1.
Thanks to killerabbit, Russel, The F'n Jem'Hadar and sham, who know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and when to run.
Jun 4 2009 UPDATE: David Carradine Found Dead
In case Geekologie is the only site on the interweb you visit (good for you), David Carradine, best known for his role as Shaolin priest Kwai Chang Caine in Kung Fu and Bill in the Kill Bill series, was found dead by alleged hanging in his hotel room in Bangkok. He was 72.
Carradine was in Bangkok to shoot a movie and had been staying at the hotel since Tuesday.
In all, he appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby. One of his prominent early film roles was as singer Woody Guthrie in Ashby's 1976 biopic "Bound for Glory."
Hi-ya, David, hi-ya. R.I.P.
UPDATE: Hanging was allegedly accidentally and the result of some eroticness gone wrong. Hey, it's how I want to go.

Jan 15 2009 R.I.P. Ricardo Montalban, Patrick McGoohan
Ricardo Montalban and Patrick McGoohan have both passed away.
Ricardo was best known for his roles as Mr. Roarke on television's Fantasy Island and as Khan, the best Star Trek villain ever. He was 88.
Patrick McGoohan played Number 6 in the 1960's spy/trippy-ass show, The Prisoner. He was 80.
Thankfully, I was raised by parents that exposed me to such movies and shows which, unfortunately at the time, I thought were stupid. Only with older age did I realize the error of my youth and see just how filled with awesome they actually were. Thanks mom and dad -- and R.I.P. Ricardo and Patrick, you will be missed.
Hit the jump for a video of each in action, Ricardo as Khan, and Patrick as Number 6.
