Watch RICK & MORTY Kill The Simpsons

I don't typically write much about TV, despite the fact that I watch an official metric fuck-ton of it.  Easily the show I've been missing the most as of late is Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's incredible Adult Swim series Rick & Morty, which is a very loose riff on the Doc and Marty relationship from Back To The Future.  It's weird and violent and sweet and twisted and, above all, fucking hilarious.  If I had to point to a single episode to introduce the show, it would probably be "Meseeks And Destroy," but that's just one of many episodes that I'd be willing to watch on a loop forever.

The show returns July 26th and I can't goddamn wait.  In the meantime, I'll have to make do with the video below, in which the folks at The Simpsons allowed Harmon and Roiland to step in and animate this coming week's couch gag, in which drunken mad scientist Rick and his sweet but ill-fated grandson Morty accidentally murder the Simpson family if horrific fashion.  It's magnificent.

Seriously, I cannot recommend this show highly enough.  Even if Community can't milk another season out of Yahoo, at least we have lots of Rick & Morty in our future.

Marty McFly's Hoverboard Could Be Yours For A Mere $25,000

I've been counting down the days until 2015 because that's the year that Robert Zemeckis promised me access to hoverboard technology.  And Robert Zemeckis is nothing if not a man of his word.  But for those of you with gobs of money who have little patience or faith in the prognostication prowess of the director of Death Becomes Her, you 'll have a chance to grab one of Marty McFly's authentic boards when it goes up for auction this fall.

Vue Entertainment and Prop Store will be overseeing the largest auction of movie memorabilia ever held in the U.K., with items including the aforementioned hoverboard, Arnold Schwarzenegger's biker outfit from Terminator 2, a miniature Batmobile from Batman Forever and a Golden Ticket from Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory.  These are the big ticket items, estimated to fetch anywhere between $25K-$45K.  You can also get a crew jacket from Star Wars: Episode I for around $150, if you're into that sort of thing.

I think I'll just wait it out.  According to Zemeckis we'll have invented anti-gravity, commercialized it and made it affordable and commonplace enough to appear in kids toys all in the next fifteen months.  Then again, his estimates are also going to come up over a dozen Jaws movies short.  Maybe he was including Sharknado and Sharktopus.
