FAIL? No Win! It was only a matter of time before these real-life loser reminders hit the streets, I mean cubicles: www.FAILsticker.com. Pretty funny… now, but like most things, we’ll tire of them and find another type of snarky sticker to put on top of our old lame FAIL stickers.

Get Watchin’! Two new extended clips (3:17 minutes worth!) from the beginning of the highly-anticipated Watchmen movie:

Ol’ Dead Legs is Back: According to these previews for the new “Lost” episode, when Locke leaves the island so does his ambling ability.

“Gay-tham for Statham” Looks like Patton Oswalt has a bit of a man crush. They’d make a cute couple. (via @Agent_M).  Speaking of “Fatatouille” (Zach G’s term, not mine), he’s joining @scharpling tonight on The Best Show on WFMU, should be spectacular.

Animal-less: There are lots of “abandoned amusement park” sites (always creepy), so here’s something different, an “abandoned zoo” story… sad.

Get Some! Fred Eltringham (drummer extradonaire for The Wallflowers,  Dixie Chicks, Tears for Fears, Ben Kweller, Gigolo Aunts, Juliana Hatfield, Rivers Cuomo, etc.) and Brian Howell (Pico vs. Island Trees) have formed The Get You and posted some new tunes on the MySpace. It’s very different (Sebadoh-meets- King Crimson?) and very good! We played these boys back on Podcast 57, remember? You loved them.

The first hour is the stronger of the two, as it sends the mind reeling and uncorks infinite possibilities. Picking up soon after the events of the season finale, “Because You Left” reiterates Ben’s claim that Jack et al must return to the island to make things “right” (as Michael Emerson shares in this video, there’s a “scientific need” for that reunion to happen), then lets slip a bit of insight — from the perspective of those left behind — as to where the island moved. Alas, just as they figure it out….

Can’t wait for January 21, 2009 season premiere, I’m so gonna party.  Just hope my Sayid-style hair has fully grown in by then. More

Looks like Jack is getting the ol’ band back together… and going to visit some old friends.

Lost – Ben = Boring. I knew this was coming. After many fine episodes packed with action and intrigue, the writers felt the need to go back to their old tricks and make sure the romance angle was not forgotten.

So we were forced to watch many, many extreme close-ups of Future Jack and his lady love, Ol’ Rabbit-Teeth Kate hash out their uncertain feelings for each other. Zzzzzz. To add to the been-there-seen-that plot clogs, the Jack daddy issue thingie was resurrected once again. Ugh.

The Office: In startling news, it was revealed Darryl was not only a member of The Crypts and The Bloods, but also a member of The Warriors and the Newsies. Line of the night, Michael shushing Pam and her awful glasses: “…it’s just noise coming out of an ugly scientist.” Creed also scored big: “A lot of jazz cats are blind, but they can play piano like nobody’s business. I’d like to put a piano in front of Pam and see what happens. [Pause] I’d also like to see her topless.”

I know many of you have said Pam is not looking good this season, a little too frumpy and lumpy. True, but remember fellas, the poor gal is still recuperating from a major back injury. Jenna Fischer took a spill down some stairs a while back and had some serious injuries. Once fully healed, I’m sure she’ll starve herself like every good Hollywood actress and will be swapping clothes with Calista F. in no time.

30 Rock: Always good to see Floyd and a nice peek at the 12th Floor. Lines of the night:

Floyd asks Liz to go to “the barbecue restaurant you puked at last time,” Liz responds, “You have to be more specific.”

Jenna: “A drinking contest? What am I, 12 and at my boyfriend’s frat party?”

Eli Stone: Still a major douche.

Hi kids, been away from the Internet machine for a couple days battling a bad stomach virus. In this lopsided battle there was a clear winner: the virus; and two losers: me and my poor toilet. Good lord. No more rare roast beef from the dollar store for this frugal fella.

Enough about me and my innards, there’s a great Interview with Lost ‘s Michael Emerson on Ain’t It Cool News . Emerson’s character Ben Linus is the most intriguing and complex character on TV today, yep even more so that that sadsack broad on Grey’s Anatomy who’s always on the verge of tears.

At first glance, Benjamin Linus is a harmless, erudite nebish who seems pleasant enough but doesn’t mince words. Delve a little deeper and you’ll find a devious messiah figure who possesses solid ass-kicking skills (two dead Bedouins in the last epsiode) and a bag full of mind tricks that would make a Jedi jealous.

Ben wants you to read this interview now , so close out that spreadsheet and have at it, or someone you love just might die.

Suitable for Framing: Missed out on grabbing the Shepard Fairey Obama Hope and Progress posters (or don’t want to spend $$$ on eBay for them)? Don’t fret, you can still help out the cause by printing out your own Obama posters.

Coolest Lost Theory? I’m on board with this reasonable and nifty explanation, even though I’m not a fan of time travel as a plot device.

Jenna Fischer in Playboy! Office fans should enjoy reading this Interview with Pammy and slobbering over this sexy photo. Sorry, no nudity, but one or two bad, post-Office career moves and you never know! {link via Pop Candy}

SXSW Train Wreck: Never thought you’d feel sorry for the founder of Facebook, huh? What this disaster of an interview with dopey Sarah Lacy of BusinessWeek. The audience turns on her, its pretty entertaining. Funny blow by blow account here. And like, here’s like, her rebuttal. Sarah got what she wanted: attention and, as she will tell you, her Amazon ranking is rising!

Tens of People Saddened! After “two names, four time slots and multiple formats,” Tucker Carlson’s show was just canceled. Ha ha, no ones cares.

More good news, artist Dan Stiles has just issued a second printing of his exquisite Sigur Rós concert poster (Benaroya Hall, Seattle WA May 3, 2006).  Get one now, I just did, these will go fast.
