Today's Celebrity Birthdays - Feb. 5th

I decided to start up a new post where I list the "celebrities" that were born on this day and then either praise them or mock them.  It will be fun, so let's do this:

• Tim Meadows (54) - The Ladies' Man has a birthday today and when he is leading off this list, you know there were slim pickings.  The good news is that Tim is awesome.
• Cristiano Ronaldo (30) - He plays soccer and is really really good, that's all you need to know.
• Micheal Sheen (46) - You know him from Masters of Sex, or the head werewolf from the first and third Underworld movies.  Did you also know he used to be married to Kate Beckinsale?
• Bobby Brown (46) - I find it amazing that he is the same age as Michael Sheen, but looks at least 30 years older.
• Jennifer Jason Leigh (52) - For some reason I know her name, but I couldn't name a single thing she has been in.  When I looked it up, she apparently was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.  So there.
• Hank Aaron (81) - Baseball's true Home Run King is still kicking it at 81.  Being a Braves' fan, this guy is a god to me.
• Sara Foster (34) - Who?  Not important.  She's an actress/model and is hot.  End.

Who Is This? Part 37

First person that comes to mind, who is it?  No, it's not your dad.  What's wrong with you?  Okay, I'll give you a hint - he was on a TV show.  Yup, that was my greatest hint ever.  Oh wait, just the opposite.  In that case, here is a better hint - he was on a TV show where he played a crime-fighters sidekick, both of whom were winged-animal themed.  Yup, that's Burt Ward, or Robin from the original Batman TV show.  Kind of let himself go, didn't he?  Look how skinny he used to be.  What happened?

What is he up to now?  If I had to guess, living off of autograph signings at comic book conventions.

Brainfart's Crush of the Month - February

At the beginning of every month, we here at Brainfart will be bringing you our Brainfart Crush of the Month!  Sometimes it will be someone you have heard of, sometimes it will be just a random hottie you may have seen before, and sometimes it might be my neighbor.  Who knows!  Let's see who we picked this month:

This is Katie McGrath.  You may know her from the short-lived show Dracula or as Morgana from the TV show Merlin.  I first fell in love with her from Merlin.  The show was pretty dumb, but she made up for it with her hotness.  Also, I have a thing for ladies with English accents (real ones, not fake and yes, you can add boobs to that description) and she is Irish, which is close enough.  Plus, just look at her, how could I not pick her for this prestigious award.  Congratulations Katie on being this month's Crush of the Month (I assume she reads this site daily).

Random Movie Trivia - The Dark Knight Part 2

Here is the next edition in our weekly Random Movie Trivia post.  Enjoy:

The Dark Knight Part 2

• Christian Bale admitted he did not pack on as much muscle weight for this film as he did for Batman Begins, in part due to keeping with the new Bat-suit design, which is leaner and more flexible.
• The only Batman movie where Batman does not use a batarang and first Batman film with no live-action or CGI bats.
• Bruce Wayne's penthouse was actually shot on the ground floor of an office building in downtown Chicago. During the daytime the same exact space was re-dressed and used for Harvey Dent's press conference scenes.
• The comic book film with the most Academy Award nominations (8).
• Matt Damon was offered the part of Harvey Dent, but had to turn it down because of a schedule conflict with Invictus, another Warner Bros. film. Ryan Phillippe, Hugh Jackman, Mark Ruffalo, Liev Schreiber, and Josh Lucas were also considered for the part of Harvey Dent.
• While filming both the bank and police department scenes at the post office, an unrelated fire broke out in a top floor mechanical room and many onlookers believed that the smoke and fire was related to the filming.
• Sam Rockwell, Hugo Weaving, and Heath Ledger were the finalists for the role of joker, Ledger got the part.
• Christian Bale stated in an interview that during the interrogation scene, Heath Ledger wanted him to beat him as hard as he could to get the real feeling of what was required from the scene.
• During the hospital blow up scene Heath Ledger had to improvise after there was an unexpected delay in the explosion, there was only one chance to film the shot which was saved through Ledgers' quick thinking.
• When Harvey holds the Joker at gunpoint in the hospital scene, you can see that the Joker is actually holding the revolver's hammer with his finger, thus preventing the shot in case Harvey's coin lands on "bad" side.

Stupid State Laws - Idaho 2

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Idaho

"Snakes have been banned from biting humans on a Sunday – except when it's snowing."

I have three really large problems with this.  First, how can you ban an animal from doing something that is part of its natural instincts.  Second, why on Sundays?  And last, why in the hell is it allowed when it's snowing?  Not a single part of this law makes a lick of sense, least of all, well, all of it.  There isn't a part of it that can be explained.  Idaho, I like your style because snakes are scary little bastards, but this law is just dumb.  I expect an explanation in my inbox on Monday.

"There's the culprit, rookie!  Cuff him!"
"With what, Sarge?"
"Handcuffs, you idiot!"

Saturday's Video of Saturday

Here is our weekly funny video post.  Let's see what we got for you guys:

Set up:  This is a clip from the show Community.  Watch it, then I will explain, however, watch in the background at the end, it's important:

Summary:  Yup, on the third "Beetlejuice", a guy dressed like Beetlejuice walks by in the background.  The great thing about this joke is that it took place over several seasons.  That's right, the writers actually set up a joke several seasons before the payoff, and it only works if you just happened to notice the guy in the background, which many people didn't.

Super Bowl XLIX Predictions

It's Super Bowl Time!!  So, you know what that means, Brainfart is going to look into the future and give you the outcome of this game:

Sambo's Pick - I'll put it this way - I want Seattle to win, but I feel like New England will prevail.  Why?  Because they will be super pissed off about people constantly talking about their balls.  If the national media was constantly talking about my balls, I would be itching to kick some ass.  However, I'm still going to pick Seattle.  Why?  Because fuck the Patriots and their cheating asses!  I'm pretty sure I would find Tom Brady cool (in that Justin Timberlake kind of way, where he's super talented and bangs hot chicks, but I would still love to hang out and play a round of golf with him), but Bill Belichick ruined Brady for everyone.  Bill is such a cheating dick that Brady is a cheating dick by association.  And since both of those cheating dicks are Patriots, I am picking Seattle.

Seattle 29 - New England 24

Alex's Pick - I don't really have a strong feeling either way in this game...except for one man whom I love more than all the rest - GRONK!  This guy is amazing.  He may be the most beastly, skilled, un-guardable player in the NFL, but he thinks and acts like a 15 year old.  He acts like Brady is his idol saying "If Tom Brady believes I can do it, then I believe."  He was asked about a fan fiction erotica book where he spikes a football in a girl's buttcheeks.   On cue he said that if someone wants me to do that, I think it's cool.  He was also asked why there was so much interest in him going out and partying to which he replied "Uh, cuz I'm a baller?"  After a game, he was asked about his lineman and he said they deserve to get laid and "They played a great job."  Perfect!  This could be the best player in the Super Bowl!

Gronk 31  - Seattle 24
