For the next week, I’ll be away on vacation in Maine which means no updates here on Doobybrain.com.

I encourage you all to follow @doobybrain on Twitter and to continue sending me items via email (I’ll be on vacation, but I’ll be able to check email consistently). In the meantime, I hope you don’t get sick of seeing this image above for an entire week. See ya when I get back all refreshed!

Beam.tv has the entire “Make Her Say” music video from Kid Cudi up for download as a high-quality mp4 video file. It’s not my favorite of his songs, but I’ll admit that the music video is pretty nice.

If they take it down, you can get it here: Megaupload.

Guy with gun confronts a skateboarder

What ends up happening is nothing short of a miracle as the so-called gangbanger somehow stumbles with his gun and is pummeled into the ground by an entire crew of skaters.

I dare say that a skate truck to the head is just as painful as a bullet wound and I have a feeling that the man holding the gun knows that all too well now.

Man, lots of new Toy Story toys coming out in the near future including these wonderful Lego Toy Story minifigs from Toy Story 1 and 2. The characters in this minifig set include Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jesse, Stinky Pete, Bullseye, Zurg, 4 Bucket O Soldiers, and an Alien.

I’ve posted some individual images of the minifigs below (click on the images in the next page to see them in hi-res), but you should definitely check out the two Flickr galleries (here & here) that truly show how great these toys are. Thanks to Upcoming Pixar for the links!

How awesome does Buzz Lightyear look here?

Blue Monday: Free & Easy

Not only is this a fantastic video of folks in Japan enjoying a ride on their fixed gear bikes, it’s also set to one of my favorite songs ever by The Strokes (the song is “You Only Live Once”). [via]

Wow, 27+ years since the original movie, Tron (1982) is finally seeing a sequel come out called Tron Legacy (2010) and it looks absolutely amazing.

Ain’t It Cool has some production shots that were shown at this year’s Comic-Con, but the production stills don’t quite match up to watching the trailer below (if it gets taken down by Disney, you can download HD versions of the trailer here).
