Thing that make me laugh --- today's edition

1) One of the laziest, most absurd yet hilarious-enough-to-make-it-worth-mentioning casting rumors ever? If not, it's up there.

Courtesy of the hack bastards over at England's newspaper The Sun, who also at one point said that Cher was "confirmed" to play Catwoman, which Christopher Nolan and the Warner Bros. brass laughed off and discarded with ease.

Basically, if you don't feel like clicking over to The Sun, they're "reporting" that Eddie Murphy has signed on to play The Riddler, while Shia Labeouf will be Robin. Neglecting to mention how both Nolan and Christian Bale have publicly shat upon the Robin character as rubbish. And also forgetting to acknowledge how Nolan is pretty much a creative mastermind and that his left nut has enough intelligence to never, ever cast Eddie Murphy in any capacity within his Gotham City universe. Just the facts, ma'am.

But alas, at least we have this nice pic right here (Joker one from The Sun's original story; Robin from /Film

So yeah, that's totally untrue. A third Batman movie is currently "in talks," not confirmed just yet. Relax. Now, moving on....

2) Denis Leary, who can be hilarious when he wants, and obnoxious and pure asshole with similar lack of effort, clowning his pretty-bad movie catalog. Here, he's being the former:

3) People really seem to love this dude Zach Galifianakis. The stuff I've seen from him has always been pretty funny; not falling-over-myself funny, but chuckles, for sure. But this faux interview with Mad Men's Jon Hamm is greatness. Just watch, and giggle. It's bound to happen:
