As host of last weekend’s Saturday Night Live, Dana Carvey gave Wayne’s World fans a rare treat by convening a long overdue reunion with Mike Myers. The pair first appeared on the show as Wayne and Garth on SNL in the late 80s.
Myers is 47. Carvey is 55. If you squint, neither one appears to have aged a day.
We got our first glimpse of Captain America: The First Avenger during the advertisement fest that is the Superbowl. Or you did if you were in the States or up past your bedtime here. So for those of us who like our sleep, here it is (along with a silly ad. Boo Yahoo. Boo!).

The Sunday Tribune is to pursue legal action in response to the Irish Mail on Sunday’s publication yesterday of thousands of newspapers featuring a mocked-up Tribune masthead.
The Mail has been widely criticised for the move, which came as publication of the Tribune was halted due to the appointment of a receiver to the title, putting 43 jobs under threat.
Described by the Mail as a “marketing exercise”, the move saw around 25,000 ‘special editions’ of the Mail being distributed to news outlets mainly in the east of the country yesterday.
The move attracted widespread criticism with Tribune editor Noirín Hegarty describing it as “shameless”.
The National Consumer Agency (NCA) this morning confirmed it is also considering prosecuting the Mail for a breach of the Consumer Protection Act.

Self-confessed ‘comic book and Lego geek’, Julian Fong has created an extensive set of DC heroes and villains in Lego minifig form. Sez he:
“It started out with deciding that the current line of official Batman minifigs sorely needed a Harley Quinn (given that Joker, Poison Ivy and Catwoman were represented) — so I built one. Then, in typical fashion, it quickly spiraled out of control after surveying the rest of the DC comic book universe.”
None of these minifigs are official yet. You want to get on that, Lego.

A how-the-hell-did-he-do-that trick called ‘linking cigarette’ by Japanese magician, Akira Fujii.
Holy crap. Watch it again.
Pedigree, chum.
If one purchases a tin of economy dog food and replaces the label with one for Caviar then what do you end up with? A tin of dog food with a caviar label of course. If one replaces the leader of a political party that has destroyed a nation then what do you get? Well you end up with the same thing. A party that has destroyed a nation. Yet in the past when Fianna Fail have changed their ‘label’ to one that gave a veneer of something more tasty then their supporters have tucked in with great enthusiasm. Will they do the same this time?
The latest in a blizzard of opinion polls suggests otherwise with FF only getting a bounce of 1% despite the fact that their leader’s satisfaction rating is now higher than any of their opponents. Similarly on the door step I have not met anyone who has been particularly enthused about the label being changed. Thank Christ for that.
So who will these former fianna failers vote for or will they just stay at home. From what I have been hearing on the doorsteps the largest proportion of them who vote will go for independents. Not necessarily because they like them but they would sooner die than vote FG, Labour or Sinn Fein.
As one Fianna Fail die hard put it “I regrettably have to vote for you”. I’ll take that thank you very much.
