Here’s what we’re SCOOPin’ today:
If you missed yesterday’s SCOOP, click here! (to avoid continuity issues)
The original names of famous film characters – thank God I don’t have to buy my son “Lunar Larry” jammies.
Who’s your favorite Rusty Griswold? Anthony Michael Hall? Johnny Galecki? Ethan Embry? Ed Helms? Yeah, I know Jason Lively wasn’t one of the choices. That was on purpose. (scooped by Battle Armor Joe)
A list of the Greatest Toy Guns of our generation – how many of these did you have? Or did you “know a kid who had one”? (via eclectik relaxation)
…looking at that post, I noticed this for the first time- when in gun form, Shockwave is bascially doing the yoga chair pose:
Updates have started pouring out of Hall H at Comic Con International. Here is the new poster for The Expendables 2. (via Hero Complex)
Fogs’ coverage of Comic Con has begun, and K.I.T.T. looks as shiny as ever! (via Fogs Movie Reviews)
Meant to post this a couple days ago – Star Wars Recreations of Famous Photographs - I think 7 of 9 is my favorite. (scooped by Dan O)
This college’s football field looks like a Christmas gimmick gone bad.
Follow-up on the Daniel Tosh thing from earlier – here is the club owner’s account of what really happened. A quote that echoes my sentiment in yesterday’s scoop: ”If this is hurtful — this is a comedy club. They don’t mean any harm,” Masada says. “If you don’t want to get insulted don’t go to comedy clubs.”
Some pretty great prizes to be had in this Ultimate Geek Out Collection Sweepstakes from Amazon. It’s hosted by Facebook, just FYI. (scooped by Hail Mary)

Jesus. We don’t need a goddamn Vacation reboot. LEAVE THE 80′s ALONE!!!!!
I’m with you on the Preservation of the 80s Committee, but this one I’m ok with, because I see it more as a sequel than a reboot. The tease of a Clark and Ellen cameo is too alluring for me to pass up! Although I hope they avoid the pitfall of just rehashing all the old jokes (ie. Kate Upton in a sports car driving the same route as Rusty and family on the highway). I would be ok with the dog wetting on the picnic basket again, though.
this is a bad idea.
Agreed, bad idea.
Although the Jif Skiff on the other hand could have helped if peanut butter was available to help stick to the sides and avoid falling in Sarlacc Pitt…
Way to spell it ‘Pitt’. He is sensitive about that..
That Batman info-graphic is spectacular, but for one huge mistake – choosing Eartha Kitt to represent Catwoman of her era instead of Julie Newmar.
Great point!
