Fat Albert

Fat Albert and the rest of the Cosby Kids are living happily in their animated world of Philadelphia when one day, a young teen cries on her remote control because she doesn’t have any friends. Fat Albert and his gang then magically come out of her TV and enter the real Philadelphia! They decide-being such good kids-to help the teen make friends. Albert then falls in love with the girl’s beautiful foster sister-but oh, no! If Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids stray from their TV world, they begin to fade away! Will Albert be able to return home after enlisting the help of Bill Cosby himself, or will he and his gang vanish forever?

In a way I grew up with Bill Cosby. First with the Fat Albert cartoon and then later with the Cosby show. So when I heard that Fat Albert was going to be made into a movie, I was a bit excited. One thing I really like about the original cartoon is that there is positive message with every one. Yet, you can not reruns anywhere on TV. I suspect the characters are a bit too politically incorrect.
Anyway, the movie starts out with Fat Albert coming out of the television set into the ‘real world’ followed by his gang to solve Doris’s problem. But can they get back to their cartoon in time and solve Doris’s problem before fading away?
Kenan Thompson does a great job as Fat Albert. The comedy is silly at times, but it does well considering the movies intended audience.
Definitely a family film for the kids. Could it have been better? Sure, but it does well enough to earn a thumbs up from me.

As a meat eater, I have eaten beef, pork, turkey, chicken, deer, rabbit, alligator, lamb and whatever animals the local Chinese restaurant uses. I have always wondered what the Homo sapiens tastes like. Besides the legal and social objections that come with eating man meat, really hard to come across someone selling the stuff. How would you prepare it anyway? Well now there is a solution, its Hufu - The Healthy Human Flesh Alternative!

Apparently Hufu is a tofu flavored food. No meat of any kind is used.
Even has recipes on the website, yummmm.

Sex and romantic entanglements among astronauts could derail missions to Mars and should therefore be studied by NASA, warns a top-level panel of US researchers.
NASA plans to return astronauts to the Moon by 2018 and later on to Mars. But a round-trip mission to the Red Planet would probably last at least 30 months and carry six to eight people. That would be a hotbed for intense crew relationships, says a report by the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS). [continue]

The obvious answer to this issue is just to use all heterosexual males for the journey.
But in today’s politically correct climate one would not dare to even suggest that. This is not a problem on the ISS? Those people are up there months at a time. Just because the trip to mars will take them farther from earth this becomes an issue now?
The military is dealing with the same problem. A problem that if actually reported on would fly in the face of political correctness so it is still hush hush, for now.

A deputy of the ultranationalist Liberal Democratic faction of the Russian State Duma, Aleksei Mitrofanov, has said in a parliamentary speech that bird flu was invented by Americans who wanted to dominate the world’s poultry markets.
“There is no such thing as bird flu, just as there is no AIDS, tulip or mad cow disease,” Mitrofanov was quoted as saying by the Rosbalt news agency. [continue]

Somehow that picture of him seems to fit his apparent insanity.
The birds do not look impressed.

Star Wreck - In the Pirkinning is a parody made by fans of Star Trek and Babylon 5.

The first Finnish full-length scifi parody is made from astounding special effects, action and loads of dark humour. It is the product of a core group of five Finns and many people who’ve helped us during the seven years it has been in the making. You can download the entire movie for free, of course.

The English is subtitled, still funny though.
