Backed by The Roots, it sure looks like they’re having a lot of fun.

Teaser trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. Exciting!

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“375” caption=“San Diego Comic-Con is coming up this week, so I thought I’d make this week’s post some cosplay”] [/caption] San Diego Comic-Con is upon us and for once I actually read comics. I’m excited to learn about Marvel’s new December event, but, in the meantime, here’s what I’ve been up to. Movies: Out of Sight - Steven Soderbergh’s Elmore Leonard adaptation was a pretty solid flick and about the only thing I’ve ever seen Jennifer Lopez do a fantastic job in. George Clooney turned in a great performance playing his usual role as well. Worth watching for their intriguing chemistry. Love noticing the similarities to other Leonard works like Justified (he loves him some US Marshals, huh?) ...

In honor of San Diego Comic-Con later this week: Because the women of the world should know there are options.

Looks very Power Pros, but I still don’t have an xbox…

The National League showed up to play and it was a sight to behold. Managed much more like a baseball team that wanted to win, Bruce Bochy’s NL squad trounced Ron Washington’s AL team with seemingly little resistance. Other than an Adrian Gonzalez bomb in the third, the AL hardly threatened. I know there hasn’t been a Game 7 in ages, but I really hope we get one this year and the AL loses just to rub it in their face that they need to try a little harder next year. ...

So the Home Run Derby is definitely still a thing that happens every year and that I definitely choose to ignore every year, but I can’t help but comment on the fact that the NL selections were obscenely stupid. Rickie Weeks? Matt Kemp? Matt Holliday is a more inspired choice, at least. So the NL was pretty much only represented by Prince Fielder and barely, at that, although he did tie David Ortiz. If you’re curious, the whole thing was won by Robinson Cano who actually belted the most home runs this year (it’s not always the case). ...

I plan on watching it with friends, so there may not be a liveblog, but I will cover it in the morning. In the meanwhile, here’s what I’ve been up to. ...

If you have a pathological fear of commitment or maturity, Catherine might not be for you.

Hope you all enjoy your summer fun! Here’s an unrelated video about the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta
