HOT VIDEO - Orson Welles' "The Bat-Man"

Batman Begins and The Dark Knight helmer Christopher Nolan is a great director. I think it's a travesty that he didn't get an Academy Award nomination for Inception, which was arguably the most original and complicated film of 2010.

However, as good as Nolan is, a YouTube poster called Sirrus79 decided to imagine what a Batman film would be like if it was made in the 1940s by the greatest film director of all time, Orson Welles.

Sirrus79 cleverly edited together footage from Welles' films, such as Citizen Kane, as well as other films from the 1940s. In the trailer for this imaginary film, Orson himself plays the Dark Knight. The casting of the movies' Original Gangster Edward G. Robinson as The Penguin, and Citizen Kane costar Joseph Cotton as Commissioner Gordon is wonderful. Using screen sex siren Marlene Dietrich as Catwoman is nothing short of brilliant!

Unfortunately, the editor this fun bit of movie "What If...?" was saddled with using footage of the crappy-ass Batman costume from the 1940s serials. But, otherwise, it's very well done.

Take a look at the mock-trailer for a great movie that never was. It's in two parts below...

BREAKING: Nobody Really Cares About Kendra Wilkinson

Former Playboy "Girl Next Door" Kendra Wilkinson's 15 minutes are over? I'm as surprised as you are about this shocking revelation! You'd never know it by the constant cover attention she gets from US Weekly, Life & Style, OK, and all the other gossip rags at the checkout line. But I found real proof on Huffington Post today that nobody gives a damn about Hef's former resuscitator anymore.

One of these things is not like the other

Do you see it? Here's a closer look.

I really was surprised. Even with a headline like "LESBIAN SEX TAPE", her story's only received 65 "Likes" on Facebook since it was posted a little over 24 hours ago. Compared to the THOUSANDS of people who liked the other stories on that list. It's even being promoted as one of their Most Popular and still, only 65 people cared. 12 more since midnight.

It's been kind of depressing to see what's passing for a celebrity these past few years. Fake reality television show cast members, socialite sex tape leakers, teen mothers, wives of rich nobodies, and pregnant daughters of half term governesses are not stars. They are NON-CELEBRITIES. Take note, gossip mongers. This one's over.

Oh, Rapture!

This made me chuckle. (Click image to enlarge)

My favorite part of this painting is that no one who's actually living is being saved. They're stuck standing there at the bus stop screaming, "WHAT THE FUCK?!". Meanwhile any pilgrims and Laura Ingalls Wilders who've been hanging around are movin' on up. Even Tonto and Crazy Horse (upper right), Mary Poppins (upper left) and The Burger King (he's in there) are supermaning it on over to the big light show. Up, up, and Yahweh!

HOT HEADLINE - At Least Wait Until The Second Date...

I know that it's juvenile to giggle at this headline, but I can't help it!

I mean... come on! The article actually describes Uranus as having "the most powerful wind observed in the solar system"!

Also amusing is the news outlet where this headline appears...

Safety First!

If we're lucky, we'll all be making this noise once or twice this weekend.

Happy Friday!!

AS THE WORLD BURNS - Rats Gone Wild!

The rats here in New York do not f*ck around! You may have already seen the YouTube video of a rat running amok in a NYC subway car and scampering up a sleeping homeless guy's body to get up in his grill!



Now comes word that one of our hardcore rodents bit a prisoner... on the penis! The aptly first-named Peter Solomon is suing Nassau County for a February jail-cell incident in which a rat chomped on his choad! The lawsuit claims that Solomon suffered "emotional distress" and "complete sexual dysfunction."

I can believe it! If you've ever had an incompetently-executed B.J. from someone with an bad overbite, you'll know it can make you a tad nervous!

Still, this is not the weirdest story about penis-biting that we've brought you here that ThatBS...

AS THE WORLD BURNS - Fox Shoots Hunter

In a move that makes Elmer Fudd look like Buffalo Bill, a hunter in Belarus got shot with his own gun by the fox that he was chasing. I mean, I guess of course it was his own rifle and not the fox's... although dingbat Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas would argue that having a peach-sized brain and no opposable thumbs shouldn't disqualify you from gun ownership.

The hapless hunter shot the fox from a distance and the came in close to finish off the wounded animal with the butt of his rifle. The fox said "Oh Hell no!" A scuffle ensued, and the vivacious vulpine pulled the trigger of the rifle with his little paw. I stand corrected: I guess maybe you don't need an opposable thumb to use a gun!

The cagey canine made good his escape while the hunter nursed a bloody leg wound. I image the fox running away shouting (in a French accent, for some reason), "Revanche! Revanche!!!"
