My friends, in the spirit of the season, I present to you a Christmas carol. The lyrics are Not Safe For Work. If you sing it, which I recommend against, please do so to the tune of "O Christmas Tree," which is the song upon which it is based. And, even before you begin, I apologize.

It's Christmas, Bro
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Don't ice me now. Fuck. Yolo.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Don't ice me now. Fuck. Yolo.
I'm spending Christmas at my Mom's.
Quit texting me pics of your dong.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Don't ice me now. Fuck. Yolo.

It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Sheila left me, she's a ho.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Sheila left me, she's a ho.
With mistletoe belt buckles on
Let's go hang out on Derek's lawn.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Sheila left me, she's a ho.

It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
You know I love you, no homo.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
You know I love you, no homo.
My family is a bunch of dicks.
Let's drink eggnog until we're sick.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
You know I love you, no homo.

It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Turn your ball cap frontwards, yo.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Turn your ball cap frontwards, yo.
What the fuck's your problem, bitch?
Show some respect for Santa! Shit.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Turn your ball cap frontwards, yo.

• You can listen to The Decemberists' new album, The King Is Dead, in its entirety on NPR. As the folks in the band have said in interviews, this album is a departure for them - simpler, more straightforward; not an epic concept album, just a collection of songs. As a result, I'm not as excited about it as I was about their more recent releases, but it's still good music.


• Yay! A hilarious new edition of Hark! A Vagrant!


• A visual history of Daft Punk's costumes. Daft Punk's cameo in Tron Legacy was one of my favorite scenes.


• You may have heard Pixar is doing a short film set in the Toy Story universe, centering on Barbie and Ken. The plot has been revealed.


• Watch polar bears attack and destroy the high tech spy cameras sent to film them.


• A 1991 Mexican Alka-Seltzer commercial directed by Guillermo Del Toro - it features a werewolf, naturally.


• Neil Gaiman offers a very fine New Year's benediction.


• Awesome Christmas card by Nick Edwards, featuring Santa riding a dinosaur and firing a laser cannon.


• Pac-Man's cameo in Tron, revealed!

• If you're going to Germany any time soon (or you live there), beware the radioactive wild boars!!


• I've been looking forward to seeing the entries in Super Punch's latest monthly art contest - the one centering on Stanley Kubrick's Lord of the Rings film adaptation, starring the Beatles - and now they've finally been revealed! As it happens, the site's erstwhile creator, Mr. Struan, is having a hard time picking a winner, and is asking for your help on deciding, so head on over and tell him your favorite.


• Download Squad picks its 12 favorite time-wasters of 2010. Might have to waste some time with these soon...


• Sad news: great character actor Pete Postlethwaite has died.


• Going up for auction on January 13th: the Playboy pinup that was smuggled aboard Apollo 12.


• Cute 8-bit version of Tron Legacy, based on Mega Man sprites, complete with an 8-bit version of Daft Punk's "Derezzed."

• I haven't had time to watch all these, but mostly I just like the concept: all the greatest scenes where someone talks a computer into self-destructing.


• The early reviews of Green Hornet seem to agree that it's a flawed mess, but also fun.


• This story about two guys who broke into 50 Cent's place just to hang out and drink some of his booze is pretty fantastic, although A.V. Club makes sure to keep it real at the end.


• The blog formerly known as Cinematical lists 12 totally random reasons Jeff Bridges is awesome.


• Neill Cameron's latest: Lando Santa.


• I imagine some weird stuff goes down at the corner of Mulder Ave. and Scully Way.


• Pretty hilarious logo choice for this knock-off phone.


• Currently up for vote on Threadless is "Cantina Walk," a wonderful intersection of Star Wars and the Beatles. (Via)


• The web comic Double Fine has been devoting itself to an amusing retelling of A Christmas Carol lately. The fun starts here. (Via)


• Annie Wu's illustration work is pretty amazing. Here's an example highlighting Star Trek fashion.


• The worst movies of 2010. Despite the fact that they appear on this list, I still feel obligated to see The Wolfman and Clash of the Titans one of these days.

• Another fun entry in HBO's series of videos on the making of Game of Thrones. This one focuses on designing and fitting the armor. Yay, armor!


• Dan Hipp draws a famous scene from The Empire Strikes Back.


• With the assumption that Fringe's new Friday night time slot could mean the show's doom, io9 gives us five things we can do to save Fringe right now.


• Salon presents a slideshow of photos from locations where famous sci-fi movies were filmed. (Via)


• WOW. When I first read about Hanna, I assumed it would be just another girl assassin movie. But this thing looks AMAZING.


• More year-end round-up stories: the worst new TV series of 2010, 2010's worst puns in movie ad quotes, and the cheapest toy roundup: all-dollar-store edition (which is actually just kind of depressing).


• Some amusing sketches by cartoonist Kelly Tindall, including Gambit playing poker with dogs, and Dazzler ruining a funeral. (Via)


• I posted this web comic to Twitter the other day, but it's so amazing I thought I'd repost it here. (Via)


• Graham Annable has been making doodles based on requests made to him on Twitter. Here's the Flickr set. Some wonderfully random concepts wonderfully executed. (Via)


• A Krampus/Claus Christmas card, and Hellboy as Santa. (Via)


• A bunch of fun Disney/Tron mashups.


• An animated video for Sam Prekop's latest single, "The Silhouettes." The music is a bit more repetitive and electronica-oriented than I usually like, but it's okay.


• Chris Sims will astound, terrify, and entertain you with his list of the five most insane Christmas comics of all time.

• 30 geeky shirts that make perfect holiday gifts. Not all of these are great, but many are. Hint, hint.


• A totally fascinating infographic takes a look at the hacked Gawker passwords and reveals the most popular ones. Looks like a lot of people are still using the Spaceballs theory of password generation. Although, to be fair, I don't think I'd use a very secure password on a commenting account, either.


• A new Firestarter movie is on the way with more "edge" and franchise appeal. "Edgy" is a keyword that really raises my hackles, but still, I could see how this could be fun. Anyway, I've always enjoyed the concept of being able to start fires with your mind.


• A.V. Club picks the 15 worst films of 2010. I managed to miss seeing all of them - except the absolute worst one. Yay.


• Jon Favreau walked away from Iron Man 3 in order to direct Magic Kingdom. Seems like an odd choice, and I can't help but wonder if Marvel would have wanted him for Iron Man 3 anyway, considering they didn't want him for Avengers. But okay!


• Artist Sam Bosma has posted the first six pages of his fantasy comic Turtle Soup, the whole of which will appear in something called The Anthology Project, to be released in the spring. It's quite neat so far, so I might have to seek out that book.


• Dave Perillo put together a wonderful album cover for an LP by the Max Rebo Band.


• Another amusing photo blog: Uncomfortable Moments With Putin. (Via)


• Twitter's Year in Review for 2010. The lists are at turns fascinating and depressing. The most retweeted tweets are particularly facepalm-worthy. I mean, I'm glad Stephen Colbert got the top spot, but that's not even close to the funniest thing he tweeted this year. And seriously, what is it with Justin Bieber? I mean... why?

• President Obama will be on Mythbusters tonight. GeekDad lowers expectations about the episode, but says it's still a good one.


• A set of photos of action figures of Doctor Who villains hanging out in various real-world locations. (Via)


• A kick-ass music video for one of the best tracks on the Tron: Legacy soundtrack, "Derezzed." It features cyber-jousting! (In case you missed it, I named the Tron: Legacy soundtrack one of the top ten albums of 2010.)


• NASA's much-hyped arsenic life form announcement may have been a bunch of hooey. Disappointing!


• Somehow I only just realized this, but A.V. Club is doing a holiday version of Undercover. That means they're bringing ten artists into their weird little round room to cover ten holiday songs. Example: here's Kate Nash and her band doing a rather lovely cover of "Merry X-Mas Everybody."


• My friends, here it is, the pinnacle of our achievements as a species: the trailer for Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus. This film features Robert Picardo and Jaleel "Urkel" White. Astounding.


• Syfy must have liked the pilot for Alphas, that show about ordinary people who gain superpowers, because the network just ordered 11 episodes.


• December means lots of end of year best of lists. Here's A.V. Club's picks for the best music of 2010.


• Witness the ridiculousness that is a 149-hit combo in Super Street Fighter IV.


• Blah Blah Blah: The Video. A celebration of blah blah blah in movies and television.


• An impressive compendium of Super Mario glitches. Many are accompanied by handy animated GIF demonstrations. (Via)


• The "Song of Healing" from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, performed on wine glasses.


• Casino R'lyeh Cthulhu Mythos Poker Cards.


• Here are a couple of links that I already posted to Twitter, but couldn't help reposting here. First off, some fun travel posters for comic book cities. Next, some amazing casting news for The Hobbit: Cate Blanchett is returning as Galadriel, and Sylvester "Seventh Doctor" McCoy will play Radagast the Brown. Of course, the fact that Galadriel and Radagast are showing up means we're going to get to see the meeting of the White Council that happens "off-screen" in the book, during one of the various times that Gandalf splits from the company to do his own thing. I have to say, I am VERY EXCITED about this!! Plus, the Doctor is going to be Radagast! Awesome.


• A sampling of some of the great art up for auction on eBay in support of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.


• Super Punch highlights some great photography, including these shots of weird mushrooms, and this one of coral.

• One of my favorite web comics, Axe Cop, is officially making the jump to real comics!


• The A.V. Club reviews the intriguing new video game, Epic Mickey. Sounds like it's just okay.


• A handful of older links, including links I already tweeted but wanted to repost here because they are so cool: the meat nativity; wonderful Dr. Seuss/Star Wars mashups; Lord of the Rings/Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer mashup T-shirt design by Adam "Apelad" Koford.


• A cute, plush version of Link from Legend of Zelda.


• I don't know about the girl side, but I find the boy side of this timeline of the best gifts to be pretty accurate. (Via)


• Cory Doctorow gives Tron: Legacy a pretty darn positive review. Encouraging! (Via)


• Something Awful gives us a tour of the magazines of the future. Super Punch has it right: this is the best one.


• Even though its plot clearly centers around the old "assassin is ordered to hurt a child, and thus immediately rejects his entire self and past and becomes a good guy we can feel okay rooting for" cliche, The Warrior's Way is still vaguely attractive to me, mostly because it is apparently about a master assassin fighting ninjas in the Old West, with the help of a dirty, drunken Geoffrey Rush. Thankfully Cinematical's review has put my desire to see the film to bed.

• Bill Murray said he would play Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters 3 only if they killed the character in the first reel and he could be a ghost for the rest of the movie. And apparently the filmmakers agreed! Crazy.


• The illustrations have started showing up on Picture Book Report - namely, Alice falling down the rabbit hole. Cool!


• Various famous video game characters dressed as Santa Claus.


• A gallery of pretty awesome Doctor Who concept art.


• Some casting news on the new The Thing: the cheerleader from Death Proof and the young Owen Lars from Episode III are in.


• A roundup of amusing Valentines.


• A gallery of impressive, imaginative, and sexy pulp magazine cover art.


• Time magazine lists the top 10 worst corporate name changes. Lots of great choices here, my favorites being Xfinity (nee Comcast) and Syfy. (Via)


• A few small details about the upcoming Star Wars live-action TV series: it will be set between Episodes III and IV and will probably feature Boba Fett. Lucas also says it'll be talky; more like the original films than the prequels; and more like films noir from the '40s than action/adventure movies from the '30s. Sounds promising!


• Connie Willis talks about her writing process and the subjects of her future books.


• Yowza. Smoking hot pics of Alessandra Torresani of Caprica. Possibly NSFW.


• You can own your own District 9 ray gun!


• Amazing slow motion video of lightning.

UPDATES:

• Tim Robbins just joined the cast of Green Lantern as Senator Hammond, the disapproving father of supervillain Hector Hammond.


• The rights to Terminator have been sold - to a hedgefund. In fact, it's the same company that's being sued over the fiasco that was the last movie. It all sounds very odd and corrupt and sleazy, and I'm pretty certain it's not good news for Terminator fans like myself. Sigh.
