Le Wrath di Khan

So, Robot Chicken made a short opera version of The Wrath of Khan. First, I can't believe I missed it when it first aired and it's taken me this long to see it. Secondly, I would totally pay money to see a full-length version in RL, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Third, would this not be an excellent way to introduce younger generations to opera? Conclusion: Why is this not a thing? Musicals--thy days are numbered; the future is opera...

Batman vs Sherock: Epic

A friend of mine told me about Epic Rap Battles of History and sent me the link to Batman vs Sherlock Holmes. At first I just thought it was weird--then I was hooked. How could you not be with matchups like Doc Brown vs Doctor Who, Master Chief vs Leonidas, and Einstein vs Stephen Hawking? Weird or awesome? You decide...

The Man They Call Jayne...

I'm a huge Jayne fan and "Jaynestown" is probably my favourite Firefly episode, so you can guess how much I covet this shirt.

You can find it here.

I'll leave you with the lyrics for "The Ballad of Jayne"...

The Ballad of Jayne

Jayne, the man they call Jayne

He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne

Our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin'
He saw the mudders' lament
And he saw the magistrate takin'
Every dollar and leavin' five cents
So he said "you can't do that to my people"
He said "you can't crush them under your heel"
So Jayne strapped on his hat
And in 5 seconds flat
Stole everythin' Boss Higgins had to steal

He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne

Now here is what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And let that money hit sky
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards
The man they called Jayne
He stole away our pain
And headed out for the stars

He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne.
