Movie Buzz Possibly better-acted than the Keanu Reeves film was. This clever video recasts the most famous scene from The Matrix using crudely decorated peanuts.
Culture Buzz Here's a hilarious and very necessary X-Men/Peanuts mashup by Cynthia Sousa. (via faithistorment.blogspot.com)
Culture Buzz The Peanuts gang almost has it right. If Snoopy is supposed to be Paul (barefoot), shouldn't he be behind Charlie?
Culture Buzz Paperback Charlie Brown has Charles Schultz rolling in his grave. (via Laughing Squid.)
Food Buzz Enjoy these treats while you still can. A year of drought has devastated the peanut crop, causing a significant price hike. Expect sticker shock as retail value rises by up to 40% in November.
Can we have the Family Circus do Sex, Lies and Videotape next? (via paulbonanno.tumblr.com)
First there was Doctor Who Babies, now this piece by Larry Wentzel. How many more cute representations of the villainous baddies of Doctor Who can there be? (More @ The Uniblog)
Circa 1969. Sadly, it is not about Franklin making a '69 joke.
Culture Buzz An idea whose time has come: pairing off-color tweets with panels from Peanuts. Much more over at Peanutweeter.
Culture Buzz In the same vein as Garfield Minus Garfield, a Tumblr that accentuates the existential ennui of Charles Schulz's Peanuts by lopping off the last panel of the comic strip. As though Charlie Brown and Snoopy were cast in a Godard film. Much more over at 3eanuts.
His crazy antics are much more palatable when spoken on a Peanuts character. In a Charlie Sheen/Brown mashup, suddenly bi-winning means so much more.
Culture Buzz Adorable sculpted mashup by artist Tom Torrey of pop culture's two biggest blockheads. May the Schultz be with you.
Good grief! The Peanuts gang learn the true meaning of advertising during the yuletide season in this redub of the classic A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Culture Buzz Balloons! Photos taken with my iPhone while in the crowd. The obstructing lamp post, shoddy camerawork and sea of human heads make you feel like you're really there!
Good grief! Jimmy Kimmel does it again. The cast of Peanuts gets re-dubbed with dialogue from the Jersey Shore. Linus sure has a potty-mouth now.
In his ongoing quest to capture the attention of District 9 director, Neill Blomkamp, concept artist Doug Williams has uploaded this drawing of a vampire-ified Charlie Brown to his blog. I like where he's going with this. Vampire Lucy and Snoopy next, please!!
A surreal and bizarre stop-motion animation of peanuts peeing into a bling-filled ocean. Eat too many peanuts and you'll have golden shower peanut dreams. Brought to you by the National Peanut Board. (Not really, but it'd be awesome if it were.)
Classic Peanuts comic strips re-imagined as if Charles Bukowski wrote them. I especially love the story about Schroeder, who spent his days playing piano and his nights screwing the ladies. Click through for more stories and comic strips.
Chris Brown gets the Peanuts treatment, domestic violence abuse jokes included. Sure, it's in poor taste, but Snoopy is dressed up like a lawyer! And wearing glasses!
A delightful reimagining of Peanuts as drawn by Calvin & Hobbes' Bill Watterson. This is from DeviantArt user NinjaInk, and I'm really hoping he does more of it.
The best in fan art. Timothy Lim and Jean Luc Pham create “Schultz City: That Yellow Shirted Such And Such,” a theoretical collaboration between Charles Schultz's and Frank Miller — featuring the original “good man” Charlie Brown, who broods and vows brutal revenge against those who wrong him. Finally! The blockhead stands up for himself.
