What with all the health rumors and MobileMe troubles, Steve Jobs is not having the best of quarters. Fortunately for him, brave iPeople are willing to stand up for their leader.

Leave Steve Jobs Alone!!! [Language NSFW]

Let’s just hope he doesn’t see “Calvin and Jobs” in the latest edition of Mad Magazine.

YesButNoButYes (best. blog. name. ever.) posted this video of the B&J Supersquad.

Whether or not I want to feel his quads depends on which Batman actor is under there. And is that just a bromance or did I notice a little flirting on the Dark Knight’s part?

It was the best of times.

It was the worst of times.

The Watchmen trailer looks great. There are so many ways that this could go wrong (The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, anyone?), but so far, so good. Several of the scenes seem taken straight from the comic’s panels, and they managed to get the cheesy costumes just cheesy enough without offending modern sensibilities too much. And “The End Is the Beginning Is the End” is a nice touch. Take that, Batman & Robin.

I only have a couple of concerns, which is a good thing.

• I do wish that the trailer showed us a more out-of-shape [read: chubby] Nite Owl, but that might be asking too much of Hollywood, even if that aspect is essential to the character and story.
• “From the visionary director of 300“. Maybe they’ll add in some gay Persians for The Comedian to bash just for the hell of it.

The Caprica trailer is not good. It’s not bad. It’s just there. It looks like it would be an interesting movie in and of itself, but I don’t get a BSG-vibe from it, other than the music. In all fairness to the show, think back to some of the old BSG promos that the Sci Fi Channel put out. I love you guys for giving me hours of Saturday morning entertainment (e.g. Rock Monster), but BSG is not a Tom Cruise movie from the 80s.

If you haven’t seen it yet, head over to Dark Horse Presents on MySpace to read “Captain Hammer: Be Like Me”, a mini-comic preview for Joss Whedon’s Doctor Horrible’s Sing Along-Blog, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day.

Now the trailer we saw a couple of weeks ago is starting to make more sense!

We didn’t mean to do it, but Joss Whedon turns up a lot in this week’s episode:

• Headlines: Sarah Michelle Gellar’s favorite male roles, Doctor Horrible gets a trailer
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8, Volume 2: “No Future for You” and “Anywhere but Here”
• The Astonishing X-Men: Volume 4; Also Whedon.
• Pride High; No Whedon.
• Doctor Who: “Silence in the Library”
• Solar Flare; Yeah we also found a Whedon reference there somehow.
• Wonder Showzen
• Frameline: The Polymath, or, The Life and Opinions of Samuel R. Delany, Gentleman
• The 9 Greatest Bi and Gay Female Characters in the Sci-Fi/Geek World

All this and Marc’s tour of San Francisco comics shops.

In case you haven’t seen it, here’s the trailer for Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog that we mention in the episode:
