Oct 29 2009 I'd Watch It: LEGO Reality Show Coming?
Allegedly there are several LEGO-themed television shows in the works. What does this mean? It means THERE ARE SEVERAL LEGO-THEMED TELEVISION SHOWS IN THE WORKS. Geez, stop trying to read into things, this isn't a mystery novel.
Variety reports that reality TV producer Scott Messick has teamed up with the Lego Group to build a series around the popular toy.
Messick has plans to create several non-scripted programs -- including a documentary-style show about the "Lego Masters", three men who are paid to travel the world building huge Lego constructions, as well as a game show based on a line of Lego board games released in Europe.The theme park Legoland could also be the new home of a competition-based reality TV show in which contestants are eliminated on an episode-by-episode basis.
In August, Lego announced that it is developing a live-action movie based on the toys."
Listen -- if they can make a show around LEGO, they can definitely make one about Geekologie, right? I mean, I do interesting stuff. Like this morning I got up and had a multi-vitamin with my coffee. It made my pee so green! Aaaaaand CUT -- that's a wrap.
Lego: the reality TV show?! [yahoonews]

May 11 2009 Cool: Punch-Out!! Commercial/Documentary
This is a commercial for the new Punch-Out!! coming to the Wii, and it is awesome. Doc is exactly what I thought he'd be like in real life. "You see, a comeback is like a yo-yo. You gonna go down, but you comin' right back. And then you may end up walkin' the dog." Truer words have never been spoken. Truer words have never been spoken. What's that? Oooh, good call -- except for BANGARANG.
Hit the jump for a commercial for the original Punch-Out!! (complete with Mike Tyson!)

Jan 29 2008 Welcome To Macintosh: The Documentary
Well it appears that 2008 is going to be the year of the Apple documentary. Last week I mentioned the upcoming MacHeads The Movie, and now comes Welcome To Macintosh. It looks a little less fanatical than MacHeads. There's a trailer and teaser out, but I could only find the teaser on Youtube, so I have it posted after the jump. The trailer is the good one though, so you'll have to follow the link on the next page to watch that sucker, but it's worth it. Best line in the whole video, from an Apple employee:
The people on the outside think that it's like this wonderful World of Oz or Disney going on and all of us are just all these brilliant, amazing, happy people and like, it's not, it's like a sausage factory man -- you really don't want to know how this stuff happens.
Oh my god! He said Apple was a sausage factory! I can't believe it. I'm totally pulling the job application I submitted. I can't take a job in that kind of environment. It'd be like the college party I went to last weekend. Tons of dudes, no chicks -- a total sausage factory. Way suck.
The teaser video after the jump. Hit the link at the bottom to see the trailer (with sausage factory comparison).
