Bruce Willis has signed on to star in The Surrogates, the Disney/Touchstone big-screen adaptation of Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele‘s Top Shelf Comix series, according to Variety.

Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3) will direct the sci-fi thriller based on a screenplay by Michael Ferris and John Brancato. The writing duo, who also wrote the upcoming McG-directed Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, previously collaborated with Mostow on T3.

The story of The Surrogates takes place near future, where humans have become isolated and use android surrogates as a means of interaction with the outside world. Willis plays a cop who investigates the murders of other people’s surrogates via his own surrogate, but now he’s forced to leave his home for the first time in years to unravel a conspiracy.

From the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker present Kenny Vs. Spenny, which debuted on Comedy Central last Sunday, November 18.

Check out the trailer and a clip from the show. (You can watch the clip here after the jump.)

In the uncensored clip, titled “Spenny’s Fart Rant,” Spenny erupts after the crew fails to get his biggest fart. As you can imagine, viewer discretion advised.

Have you ever had that gut wrenching feeling when you’re doing whatever it is you do online, that everyone will be able to know what you’re up to? That nothing you do is truly confidential no matter how many times a given website assures you that your information will be kept safe? Especially nowadays when so many news pieces are released stating that some kind of arrest of a certain individual was partially thanks to the “power” of the Internet — our gateway to everywhere. Not that I do anything illegal… seriously. It really is astounding what can be done with it. It might just be me, but even small operations like ordering a book from Canada make me feel like the world is getting smaller and I leave it to everyone to decide if that’s a good thing. “The Geeks shall inherit the Earth” — a popular saying that everyone knows by now, so what if they do?

Being completely honest, I have never read anything by Cory Doctorow. Not his blog, not any of his short stories, but the adaptation to the comic book format caught my attention though and this is my first look into his work. Cory Doctorow’s Futuristic Tales of the Here and Now from IDW manages to capture the geek in all of us, in a primal form, and put it on the page and in issue one that worked wonderfully. Issue two left me somewhat disappointed but I’ll get to that.

Vanessa Carlton
Heroes and Thieves
Motown

Here at GoD, we review virtually everything that comes our way, there are gems and there are the polar opposite of gems (CHUCK). So when Vanessa Carlton‘s Heroes and Thieves was dropped in my lap to review, I jumped at the chance just because I love music (nothing to do with not having or wanting a television).

Today however I am rapt in anguish and dismay. See, Vanessa’s Heroes and Thieves, her third “released” album (traditionally a difficult moment in an artists career) came to me in a nice folksy/eclectic CD cover with a beautiful picture of her sultry form on it.

Official Synopsis

Their efforts contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, with consequences that reverberate throughout the world today. Oscar® winners Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman team with Academy Award®-winning director Mike Nichols and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin to bring George Crile’s best-selling book to the screen.
