MOVIE COLUMNS:
Eric’s Bad Movies: “Furry Vengeance” (2010). One of the benefits of not reviewing something terrible when it comes out is that I can go back to it later for Bad Movies. In honor of “Zookeeper,” here it is. [Film.com]
What’s the Big Deal?: “The Gold Rush” (1925). Charlie Chaplin’s classic. Maybe the quintessential Chaplin movie? [Film.com]
Re-Views: “Freddy Got Fingered” (2001). As a comedy nerd, I enjoyed analyzing what Tom Green was trying to do here. I didn’t enjoy the film, but at least I enjoyed nerding about it. [Film.com]

MISCELLANEOUS MERRIMENT:
Toto’s “Africa,” by Ernest Hemingway. [McSweeney’s]
Something about this is creepy. An ad for “Zookeeper” was digitally inserted into a four-year-old rerun of “How I Met Your Mother.” [Consumerist]
“Crabwalkin'”: A five-second film starring Patton Oswalt. [Filmdrunk]
Peter Hall, who I know for a fact is a big ol’ nerd, doesn’t like “Lord of the Rings.” Here he explains himself. [Hollywood.com]
A visual comparison of “30 Rock” and “Arrested Development.” [No idea where it originated.]
What if the characters from “Toy Story” starred in “The Shining”? [Kyle Lambert]
I laughed aloud at several of these: “Yo mama” jokes in the Harry Potter universe. [No idea.]
Speaking of which, here’s a parody of a “Hairspray” song, “Good Morning Voldemort.” [YouTube]
