Kevin Costner teaches you to use a mouse

Sure, this is old (~24 years old) news…
See a left-handed Kevin Costner with a full head of hair in a vintage Apple Lisa ad (the predecessor of the world-changing Macintosh). Now that’s a weird way of holding a mouse, if I ever saw one. Remember, this is before most people ever saw a mouse or [...]

Edgar’s revenge

If you thought that Edgar (previously covered in The MKX®) was done conquering our hearts, you were wrong.
A new TV commercial (or is it an Internet-only comercial?) has surfaced.

Thanks to Eva for the tip.

Underdog - The movie

I kid you not.
The super-powered dog (a.k.a. Supercan in Mexico) from the beloved (by me) sixties cartoon is coming to the movie theater in a live action film. Jason Lee is doing the voice (good choice). I wonder who’s going to play Polly Purebread Top Reporter.
Here are some photos:
