“Just don’t tell him what he can’t do…”

$50, on sale here.

In celebration of LOST’s final season and as a project of fan appreciation, 16 top designers and artists, who are also fans of the show, were commissioned to create artwork celebrating one of the series’ most memorable, and unforgettable, “water cooler” moments. This ultimate “fan art” was then turned into labor intensive, hand-pulled screen prints, limited to an edition of just 300, with less than 200 available to the public through our websites.

Smart Girls at the Party

As a dad of two girls I try to find things to watch that 1) will appeal to them and 2) won’t make me want to scream. Amy Poehler’s new web show “Smart Girls at the Party” looks like a candidate to fit both of those bills.

‘Firefly’ on hulu.com

A Western much more than it was a sci-fi serial, Firefly is ready for you to watch over on hulu.com. I was late to the game on this show but I heartily recommend it. This is great news, and not just because it will teach you some sweet Chinese swears.

It’s Free. As in, Beer.

more propers to joshua for the good news.

That’s a lot of what.

I am still giggling over this. I am simple.

I am aging

Also: ABC’s marketing staff needs some direction.

So, I’m watching the intro to last night’s Saturday Night Football (Ohio State at Penn State), and the MNF-esque music intro is headlined by… Perry Farrell.

Seriously? Perry Farrell? I guess nothing speaks to college football fans like an effete 150-pound man who makes stagemate Mary J. Blige look beefy and masculine.

ETA photo, just so you can see how ludicrous.

The Worst Company in America

“You have Basic Service. Basic Service is for people.. (chuckles)… Basic Service is for people that don’t really watch TV.”

- A Comcast technician, explaining to me why, while I’m paying for Basic Service and a digital converter, I can’t actually get the Basic Service channels while I have that converter. In the course of the 7 minute, 10 second call, he also told me four times that I would have to upgrade to get more channels, including the ones for which I was already paying.

Heroes adds a cast member?

I hadn’t heard this yet, but buried in this item about Hayden Panettiere’s 18th birthday is a mention of Kristen Bell joining the cast of Heroes this fall.

That’s sweet news, obvs. K Bell is a fave at Chez Flynn.

[thanks for the heads up, Michelle. You guys didn't think I was a regular Perez reader, did you?]

Fascinating Sopranos theory.

I know it’s been a couple of weeks, but Bob Harris has an excellent theory about the finale.

It’s a lengthy read but it’s so full of cool insight that it is completely worthwhile. Highly recommended if you’re a fan of the show or just a fan of tv theories.

[thanks to The Doug (of all people) for the link]

You guys watching the US Open?

I watched most of Tiger’s back 9 today on the live stream from the main US Open site. It’s a nice little package they have there. You had the option of watching the ESPN/NBC feed, which kept track of the whole field, or they had an ESPN-only feed that just followed Tiger’s group. It was very cool.

That photo above doesn’t really sell the point, but Tiger has been doing a lot of pushups (or something). He looked like a linebacker out there today. Way bigger through the arms and shoulders than he used to. Dude is a monster.

It was fun to watch. I get zero time to watch golf at home so I’m rooting for another slow work day tomorrow so I can see him play some more.
