In news that will surprise absolutely no one, Spiderman 3 opens up tonight at midnight. Some of you may actually be waiting in line to see it as I write this. Well, that’s lame, but seeing the movie isn’t.

I can’t say that I’m a huge comic-themed movie fan, but I’m definitely interested in this one. I mean, I haven’t actually been to a movie since my daughter was born, more than 2 and 1/2 years ago. Maybe it’s time again.

Someone let me know whether it’s worth it.

With the future approaching us at a rapid rate, it’s time for us to start demanding the gadgets we were promised in the past.

It’s 2007, which means the world has eight years to make good on the 2015 presented to us by Back to the Future Part II. Hoverboards, flying cars, fashion that dictates two ties instead of one and, of course, Nikes with powerlaces.

In fact, why wait? ‘The McFly Project’ (also known as ‘Operation McFly’) are petitioning Nike to get with the powerlaces, already.

You can sign the petition or, if you’re in need of convincing, check out their powerful political advertisement.

Okay, so we’re just a little excited about Casino Royale. So much so that it seems we’re pouncing on every little product tie-in.

But this is something special, we swear. Italian sunglasses veterans Persol have released a limited edition of 200 Casino Royale-themed, tortoise-framed, green-lensed beauties, as worn in the film.

They come with the 007 logo printed on the temple, inside a 007 embossed case, which in turn arrives in a Casino Royale-branded box. Just to nail the association home.

Supposedly available only in the US. But, like, you can get everything online these days, so no biggie.

When 007 returns this year in Casino Royale, he’ll suitably be behind the wheel of an Aston Martin DBS. And that’s how things should be (plan your bathroom break for the scene in which he drive a Ford Mondeo).

Due to the British marque’s chequered history since the 60s, however, Commander Bond has been forced to drive all manner of other machines in the intervening years, and Forbes Autos has celebrated the new release with a retrospective on the top 10 Bond cars of all time.

Including such breath-taking models as Lotus Esprit and Toyota 2000GT, the list is almost perfect. Almost. Sadly, however, ranking the list by box office results rather than simply judging the cars has seen some unfortunate aberrations slip their way in, and some memorable gems denied their rightful place in the top 10.

Rather than the vulgar BMW Z3 and quite boring BMW 750iL, Forbes should’ve cast their memories back to one of the most forgotten, yet wonderful, Bond films, and its similarly ignored autos. 1987’s The Living Daylights, Timothy Dalton’s debut as Bond, was the sole appearance of Aston Martin through those troubled times, and showed off two of it’s more beautiful modern models – the V8 Series 5 Vantage and soft-top Volante (cleverly playing the same car). Instead, they’re given an honourable mention with the likes of the 2CV and Alfa GTV.

It could be worse, though. Let’s hope that the current speculation surrounding the selling of Aston Martin are true, and we’ll never have to suffer the sight of 007 behind the wheel of a Mondeo (or Focus!) in future lists.

That’s the claim WWTDD makes. And I think I agree with them. Most of the other ladies there were in horrible dresses, or horrible makeup, or with horrible men on their arms. All of them had big bajongas, but still, they were ugly. If people liked big bazooms on something ugly, the leaked AOL search terms would be filled with “Star Jones” queries. Am I right?

In any case, I want to congratulate Keifer Sutherland for winning Best Actor and 24 for winning Best Drama. They deserved it, seeing as they’re the best show on television…of all time. Oh and congratulations to Evangeline Lilly for being hot.

Our favourite British TV show about cars is now free, if you know where to get it. Enjoying Top Gear has never been easier (or quasi-legaler), but if you want to stay on the safe side, the BBC put up the entire Season 8 on their website for you to stream. Watch as Jeremy Clarkson makes fun of Richard Hammond for the 5th time in as many minutes.

Ah, Al Swearengen. What comes out of his mouth should be embroidered, framed, and put in courthouses everywhere (ten commandments? What ten commandments?) for all to see. In this case, we’ve got a shirt featuring none other than Al’s mug ordering you, Johnny, to “Open the fuckin’ canned peaches”. Well, get to it, you fuckin’ cocksucker!

Apparently Barry “Greg Brady” Williams is stoned to the gills in this scene. Watch him hit the bike pump.

Where were you in 1982? Well I was suckling at my mother’s teat, but John was in line for the first showing of Tron, back in his old neighborhood stomping grounds. What better to show his enthusiasm for a 24 year old film about nerds in…space—I never actually saw it—than this Adidas Tron track jacket.

Tastefully nerdy, with red and blue and a small-ish TRON logo on the right boob, this will make you the coolest guy in your weekend pickup basketball game down at the middle school.

Comedy Central’s marketing these as “The Lost Episodes”, but Chappelle fans will know that these are actually the few sketches he filmed before taking off dramatically for South Africa. Two years and various interviews later, the world still doesn’t really know why Chappelle left his show, but after viewing the three episodes hosted by Charlie Murphy and Donnell Rawllings, we can guess why—the material sucked.

Dave didn’t really have any new stuff beyond the old race jokes he’s been telling in season one and two, and none came up winners. His only winner of the three-episode season was the Tupac sketch, where Tupac “predicted” current events from 1994. Coincidentally, that was one of his few non-racial sketches of the season.

As big a fan of Dave as we are, we can’t recommend this DVD over Season 1 or 2. But if you want to figure out why he left and why he really didn’t want Comedy Central airing these, pick one up for $16.
